Menthols Test bench adventures

[Menthol]

I moved to a new location this week, still most stuff in boxes, Verizon FIOS has some sweet connection speeds like nothing I have ever seen. signed up for the 75 MB down 35 MB up, test shows I am getting 84 MB down 39 MB up, I like it. I got 2 test benches for my 2 systems before I moved and have been waiting to transfer the hardware until I moved. so this morning I transferred one system onto Top Desk Test Station and got it up and running. I will tackle the other as soon as I go through some boxes to find some parts, what a hassle, pack it up for easy identification and can find everything except what I'm looking for. I took a couple pics with my cell phone, not very good but posting them anyway.
M6E with a 4770K cooled by Corsair H100i for now, with 8 GB of GSkill 2666 mhz Ram and a GTX 680 this should keep me connected till I tear into the CaseLabs and install that hardware on another test bench.







I have no idea how you guys take such nice pictures

[Menthol]

Thanks, the second half will be much tougher, to easy to slack off now

WOW, Menthol is back in business! :cool:

Regarding the camera: my wife got recently a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS... my latest pics are taken with that one...

Did you get any switches?

[Menthol]

No switches yet, I could have the best camera and still couldn't take a decent picture, the H100 looks bigger than it actually is, having trouble completing the second test in Realbench with the Haswell at 4.6, this little cpu frustrates me.

[HiVizMan]

That second test is right royal pain in the bottom. But if you can pass it then there is not a benchmark on WHBOT that will not pass.

I took Nodens advice finally and got rid of my Creative sound card and went with an ASUS - I like it
I also need to get a bay device with USB ports, 2 and 3
