CyberPower BlizzCon 2010 Grand Prize (from a winner's PoV)

[TheSobeGuy]

Thanks to the ASUS guys, one of the reps suggested that I should talk about the beast that I won playing the Starcraft II Psi Assault Challenge @ BlizzCon.

When the package arrived, I don't know if this system has been set to overclock, but I don't think it is. The i7 is pretty fast, 1 TB of HDD is too much to store (awesome though), the 8 fans light up blue (glows in the dark, enough to light the room), and just recently installed WoW. I had to buy a digital widescreen LED monitor for it to look good. The FPS on Starcraft II on ultra settings gameplay is way better than my old one. From 30 fps on low-medium settings to 75-125 fps on ultra settings, this computer is well worth the win.

Just one question to Brian Jang: Was this system overclocked before it was shipped? If it isn't, it's okay because I don't need to overclock anyway. I like it just the way it is.

ASUS ftw!

I think so, that your RAM is broken. Test only one RAM and look, if the error is repeated.

Note the Corsair Vengeance and the Nvidia Galaxy 2GB

Gonna test out AC3 for the time being as I wait for the new graphics card to come in.

I will be taking pictures of what is inside of that monster, and take new ones with new hardware (the before and after) soon...

Stay tuned...

I wish my instagram picture took the entire screen. But I will post another BSOD situation if anything more may occur.

This may seem like a long shot...but do you have DaemonTools installed? if so uninstall it and see if that changes anything...also, can you please list the hardware for us? 🙂

Also download MemTest86+ and give that a run to test your RAM

[TheSobeGuy]

The RAM that this computer has are as follows:

DDR3
2048 MBytes (Module Size)... or 2 GB
PC3-10700 (667 MHz) (Max Bandwidth)
Kingston (Manufacturer)
Three Slots used: 6 GB

This information is according to a program I use called CPU-Z. Although I realize that there are three more slots available to put in more RAM, what are the suggestions to replace those Kingstons, or is there another decent manufacturer that I can purchase through eBay, Amazon, or some other legit computer center, to buy more of those specific Kingstons, if available?

[Zka17]

But have you run Memtest86+?
