As benchmark is a very important thing to measure system
(particularly hardware) performance I am starting this thread.
Also benchmark result reveals which component is really powerfull
& good performer and which is only a marketing gimick. Benchmark
result helps to decide which hardware component and combination
will give best value for money. So in here post your benchmark
results (quoting this things as far as possible):
1. Hardware Configuration
(quote the mobos chip name as it
very critical sometime to know which chip the a mobo
uses from it's name, also proc clock speed not only name,
& GPU name also)
2. Monitor Resolution
3. Software used to benhmark
4. Various games fps you got with your rig ie computer
(if any)
5. Whether you have overclocked or not. If overclocked
in what extent (eg. amd 3800 2ghz to 2.2ghz). Quote what
components you have overclocked.
6. Benchmark results before and after overclock.
7. Temparature before and after overclocking
N:B: don't forget to quote the smps name and power rating.

No overclocking, my cpu temp is between 46 to 49C in idle.
haven't tested in full load yet.
