      I should mention, they sold me a computer that was built for warranty-compatible overclocking and that had a water cooler pre-installed. Which let me get the 5820K to a stable 4.5 ghz w/ a few clicks. That combined w/ the 980TI are what make her such a shocking value ( IMH admittedly noob-to-OC O ).

        I should mention the tests are at phase-3 🙂

        I'm curious to see how it compares.

            Mine is an I7-4000 series. Nvidia GPU again.

            16GB of Ram with SSD. Well a few SSDs.

                So the HP is about 36% faster. Not too shabbo. This makes me want to compare our scores on the "Work" benchmark to see if that narrows the gap a bit.

                    @Breffni-Potter Are you using the same box you're running the benchmarks on? If so that may be lowering your score.

                        @Breffni-Potter Ah ok. I only have a latest greatest MacBook Pro lying around at the moment so I can't run the benchmark until tonight because obviously one cannot get work done on a mac.

                          One can get work done.

                          If one installs Windows 🙂

                                @Breffni-Potter Now I know everything about your computer. Including that you have not OC'd it.

                                  @Breffni-Potter Are you using rapid mode w/ that Samsung SSD? If not you may up your scores quite a bit w/ it on.

                                    I prefer that if the power dies I don't risk losing data 🙂 that's the danger of rapid mode.

                                      @Breffni-Potter What data do you think you'd lose? The last 3 seconds of work?

                                          I'll run 2 SSDs in raid-0 then.

                                            @Breffni-Potter Still won't compete sadly. I'm getting over 5GB/s read/write on mine, and it's only a 256GB.
