Looks nifty this program!

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 13:48

Ooooh what do you reckon the settings should be, shall I set it as 2 monitors? Or just do on one

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 13:54

Okay I'll run a test on ultra and see what happens

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 13:58

I don't know what the results are meant to be, but I'm getting 100 fps minimum and temperatures haven't gone higher than 57

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:02

Ah okay, well it seems to be holding up well, temps are averaging for cpu at 50 odd to be honest, gpu temp is 73-75

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:04

Sorry, not odd as in odd, but as in 50 odd

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:07

Am I just keeping it on? Or is that me done?

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:13

It was around 15 minutes, I shut it for a moment though, I'll open it up again and just let it run for a good amount of time

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:16

I'll do that later

Promised I'd go for a bike ride with the girl, I'll leave this running for 30 mins before hand though and get back to you

I'm sorry for taking up time in your weekend. You've been ever so helpful, I'd be lost on my own, completely lost

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:26

if 'the girl' reads the forums

There is no chance of that ever happening ever!!

you're an interesting distraction.

I've been called worse.

I'll let it run until I go on my ride and then just test through normal wear and tear and hope all is in order!

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 14:40

I've definitely learnt a lot!

'Til next time

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 17:42

Hahah seems to be prying on a vulnerable person I.e me

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 18:10

'My system' has taken a beating from the bike seat but my system is running fine on YouTube

NathanL · 8 Jul 2017 at 18:20

As said previously thank you so much for your help!

NathanL · 28 Jul 2017 at 17:35

Okay, some updates and notes!

There has been only one surprise re-boot, and hat was just after turning it on, think it had a funny five minutes. Other than that, no sudden offs.

There have been a few bumps along the way where my computer has basically decided to stop doing everything and throw a strop, but I'm not sure if it's got worse or anything since before so may be no issue

Apart from that, games still running nicely!

NathanL · 28 Jul 2017 at 21:31

I'll have to wait a couple of days to check this out, work over the weekend! Yippee!

NathanL · 31 Jul 2017 at 16:39

Have just checked, Core Speed jumps to 4342.10
x42

NathanL · 31 Jul 2017 at 22:47

I'll do some more check throughout the week - The strop was, computer stopped allowing me to do anything, I could maximise and minimise any open application but couldn't click anything within them or close them, couldn't also open up anything new including task manager. Had to switch off on back of pc

NathanL · 5 Aug 2017 at 10:21

Somehow i didn't seem to get a notification for this post, I apologise! I'll see if I can check drivers today. HDD is half full ish, 1tb out of 2tb. How do I run a disk check pleaaase? And i'm not sure i've ever done a de-frag, whoopsie!

Cheers

Any easy way of doing this?

Just checked, and they all seem to be 0% fragmented as they're on a weekly schedule. However there's a System reserve which is 100% fragmented and i can't seem to optimise it...
