The new test system 2012
Since we already reached the limits with the Core i5 used in 2011 despite overclocking in some benchmarks with the lowest graphics requirements (e.g. CPU limiting in DiRT3) and the graphics cards of the 28nm generation set new performance standards, we overclocked a Core i7-2600K to 4.5 GHz as well and also use this CPU with SMT enabled, as far as games can use this option.
| Components | Designation / Version |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i7-2600K @4.5 GHz |
| CPU cooler | Prolimatech SuperMega Noiseblocker Multiframe |
| Mainboard | Gigabyte Z68X-UD5 B3 |
| RAM | 2 x 4 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 |
| System hard disk | Kingston V100 256 GB (SSD) |
| Testbench | Cooler Master Lab |
| Power supply | Corsair AX1200 |
| Operating system | Windows 7 x64 SP1 |
We didn’t change the board and RAM compared to last year, but the power supply was designed in such a way that up to 4 graphic cards (or 2 dual-GPU cards) can be supplied without problems if necessary. A 256 GB SSD from Kingston is now used as the system hard drive, which also stores all benchmarks and games. The test setup was installed movably on a rolling table so that we can use the complete system even for the volume measurements in a sound-insulated room without having to move the cards to a second system.
The change of location is also necessary because we can only maintain the underlying room temperature of 22°C exactly in one room all year round, but this room is not suitable for volume measurements below 32 dB(A) due to all the installed technology.
