    Is there any need to OC my CPU further for gaming?

    Yes, some bugs in the engine causing high CPU usage, that's what people on other forums said. What did you find illogical?

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    No it implies I'm speaking from personal experience. Again, you read too much into things. And NAND endurance is a myth... well that's news to me. I guess I can now write to my heart's content.

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    I don't know how the heck you read into posts so much, so simply saying "Trust me, I own an SSD" to say I have experience with SSDs means I'm claiming that "SSD's are still premium items costing thousands"? Secondly what part of my post was debunked? I claimed that the load times in games is...

    Is there any need to OC my CPU further for gaming?

    It might be, but I've been also told it is a problem with the updated source engine. Whatever the reason is, the CPU's clock speed is what's keeping it from maintaining 60fps at all times.

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    This is my problem when discussing SSD's, people who don't game but act like an authority on gaming with SSDs.

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    Have you ever tested an SSD's load times to back your claims? I have. Maybe for whatever apps you're using the speed up is huge, but for the vast majority of games the difference in load times between the SSD and HDD doesn't even closely reflect their difference in synthetic benchmarks. That...

    Have you played Black Mesa? If no then stfu. You're hardly in a position to tell anyone to be quiet. And thread crapping will not be tolerated -ViRGE

    Is there any need to OC my CPU further for gaming?

    Arma 2 will drop to 20fps at 4.0Ghz. Starcraft 2 will drop to 20fps at 4.0Ghz. Every single game, even games like Black Mesa which use the old source engine, will drop their framerate below 60 at least somewhere during the game due to a CPU bottleneck. A CPU s just as important as the GPU for...

    Using HDD as STORAGE and SSD For Gaming

    Why do you even want to use the SSD for games? The load times hardly increase, they actually depend on your CPU more than your storage drive since it spends most of the time decompressing files. Trust me, I know, I own an SSD. Secondly, isn't using an SSD as a cache drive for the HDD harmful...

    High fps at first but now low.

    Just to be sure that your rig is performing as it should, download 3DMark11, http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/3dmark_11.html, run the benchmark, and it will tell you if your GPU and CPU are performing normally. This is the best way to know if the fault is with your PC or just with that...

    Is selling an Intel Engineering Sample (ES) unethical?

    Cause he'd be a mean asshole if he did. And there's really no need to return it, I doubt he'd get in trouble for buying it anymore than the neighbor kid who pirates a copy of Call of Duty.
