You can probably use 3DMark06 then as It goes back to DX9, try and find it on the torrents.

The 3d mark benchmarks are 80% graphics card though. Really won’t showcase what this machine was designed for. I guess you could ignore the 4 GPU tests and just look at the CPU section though.

+1. The CPU test at the end is always good at stressing the CPU for a short time.

Up and running well. I now have an SSD in this and my laptop and wish I had upgraded sooner.

Hopefully last question. I have a 5pin USB 2.0 connection for just one port in the case:

 ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/IMG_0136.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/IMG_0136.jpg)

But the only headers I have on the mobo look like this (sry for pic quality, iPhone in the dark):

 ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/IMG_0139.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h136/jclarksince86/IMG_0139.jpg)

How do I hook this up? Can the 5pin just plug into the top row of the mobo connector or something or is there an adapter available (couldnt find)?

As I understand it, the 9 pin on the mobo allows you to connect two USB ports while the older 5pin connector is for using just one USB port.

This case is great for the money but they give you 1 USB 2.0 port and 1 USB 3.0 port, forcing you to take up the headers and ‘waste’ one.

PS: Ilya - I setup Allway Sync yesterday - very cool program, thanks.

Awesome, thanks. I’ve been searching “5 pin” and getting no where and just realized from your link that there are only 4 pins connected in the 5 pin harness.

Geekbench is an awesome CPU benchmark tool. There’s a free 32 bit version out there and you can probably swipe the 64bit one.
