Requesting Advise regarding OverAll PC performance & 3D Benchmarking

[saifbukhari]

I recently built this System and was confused regarding its performance Benchmarks. Also
have some queries regarding some upgrades for which i need your best supporting
advise.Hence requesting your able Guidance in this regards. Thanks in advance.

Below are my PC (screen shots attached) specs & facts related to it.
OS: Genuine Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Retail Build: 6.1.7600
Processor: AMD Phenon II X2 550 BE 3.1 Ghz(Unlocked to X4 B50)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Ma785GM US2H
RAM: 8GB 800 Mhz Dynet
Graphics Card: Saphire 1GB DDR5 ATI Radeon 5850
Hard Drive(s): 2x320GB WD Cavear Blue Raid 0 Primary
1TB WD Caviar Green 5400 RPM for Data
1TB Seagate Free Agent 7200 RPm External for Data
DVD Drive(s): 2x22X LG DVDRW
PSU: Corsair 750W HX Semi Modular
CPU Cooling: Corsair H50 Hydro with Push Pull.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 310 with side panel
Display: Samsung 17"
Keyboard: Logitech
Mouse: Logitech
Webcam: Microsoft Life cam VX1000
Fans: 2 120MM Cooler Master Fans for Corsair H50
2 120MM Cooler Master LED Fans for side & front Ventilation
Lights: 2 Sunbeam Blue CCFL
Internet Speed: 1.3 MBPS
Antivirus: Kaspersky 2010

Now I ran the 3DMark vantage and attached is the screen shot.
I scored P12664(CPU-10581 & GPU- 13553) without OC.
I scored P12701(CPU-10653 & GPU- 13571) with OC 3.4 GHZ.
Also without OC the temperature idles at 38-39 Degrees System & 35-38 Degrees CPU
and on 100 % Load it stays at 41 Degrees System & 53 Degrees.

* Tested Prime 95 for 7 Hours - Passed
Did Memtest - Passed
While I OCing it the temperature idles at 45 Degrees System & 48 Degrees CPU
and on 100 % Load it stays at 49-50 Degrees System & 63-65 Degrees CPU.
* Tested Prime 95 for 3.5 Hours - Passed
Did Memtest - Passed

Now my question are:
1. what can i do to further Increase the 3DMark Scores here.
2. what can i do to bring down the temps on both system level & CPU level
3. Kindly advise a good Monitor to complement my RIG
4. As you might have seen the cable cluttering, would Corsair 800D case help reduce temp?
5. I am considering buying an Intel X25M 160 GB SSD, need your take on that.
6. Why is the GPU Clock & Default Clock values differ as previously i have seen them
being same.

My WEI Scores:-
CPU - 7.3 after OC -7.4
Ram - 7.3 after OC -7.4
Graphics - 7.7
Gaming Graphics - 7.7
Primary HDD - 5.9
Thanks a ton for your time and able guidance in advance.

You have your system just about maxed out! Nice setup by the way.

You have the Corsair H50 water cooling setup, can't go wrong there.

The solid state drive will help you WEI score for sure.

Really not much more to add to boost your scores on 3D Mark.

You really should be very happy with what you have, your system is in the top 5% of machines out there.

Thanks a TON Mate for taking out your valuable time and advising

The only thing I can see that might help in lowering your computer temps is definitely some cable management. Maybe adding a side panel panel fan to blow directly on to the CPU and immediate areas, a 240mm fan. Less noise, less rpm's and more cfm air flow. The biggest thing to keep in mind when building is the case and that's for maximum air flow. Case design is one element that is more often then not, forgotten about. The same for me, lesson learned the hard way. We are stuck in the moment of getting the latest and greatest CPU, GPU's, mobo's and RAM that we forget or just plain skip out on the case. Of course this is all based on one's budget and what we think that's most important to us at the time of the build. You have one hell of a nice rig there and should be proud. Nicely done my friend.

Post some more shots of your rig in the "Off topic" area under "show off you computer area", it's on the 2nd page. I'm in there.

Cant Agree more to you mate regarding the case selection, yeah sure i'll post more screeshot thanks much again Mate

 

[saifbukhari]

Fantabulous setup mate, exactly like i want, but due to space constraint currently restricted, hopefully will get better in future, but for now You ROCK Big Guy

Btw i posted mine too....

The only thing I would do different is buy a case where the PSU is bottom-mounted. It will give you much better cable management and cooler temperatures also.

Lian-Li makes some very nice computer cases that should fit the bill for you. They're all aluminum construction which helps with the cooling and anodized exterior black finish. The case is very well designed for excellent cable management.
