PC refresh

[OD-BLOODED-1]

Not much energy for in progress pics etc, I'm a a bit worn out from the waiting more than anything.





Specs in sig.

Taken with PotatoCam, patent pending.

Edit: threw a mild OC on her for 24/7 usage, 4.5Ghz. Prime95 stable, low temps (32c idle - 58c load).

Sweet! Glad it finally came together for you.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

Thanks buddy, really happy with it.

[VincentVega]

Stop making me want to build a pc, dammit!

[OD-BLOODED-1]

You know you wanna, do eet!

[DennyCrane]

Ebeneezer Vega?

Lol

Looks pretty awesome man. I did some benches on my Xeon 6 core at 4.2 in the thread below yours on the main page - curious as to how much your 8600k stomps on my now 7-8 some year old processor lol.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

i5 8600k (4.5Ghz)
TimeSpy score: 4644
gpu score: 4491
gpu test 1: 29.36
gpu test 2: 25.68
cpu score: 5759
cpu test: 19.35 fps

I only have access to TimeSpy, sorry buddy my ass is broke after the upgrade. I left my daily use OC on, and I think we are both using a gtx 980. I am running only 8GB of Ram sadly, and some games show it to be a detriment, but will remedy that at some point when funds allow.

I think your Xeon is Bloomfield architecture? Amazing how strong it is after all those years, and still amazing for gaming at that OC. So good to be back on the blue team (my FX8350 scored a lowly 3309 for cpu on TimeSpy).

Woah that's crazy. and no kidding - I only use the free benches lol. Yeah I have a 980 as well but I'm curious how much RAM might affect this (I only have 12GB)? Seems like folks with complete new builds are going for more RAM if they can get it for not too expensive (which is not the case right now?). And of course, these are more to compare apples to apples but with actual game-play I bet there's a night and day difference between the two architectures.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

4.7Ghz stable at 1.230v

temps 38c idle and max on any core after 30 minutes of prime was 87c, but only for very short periods, avg was around 83c under stress (28c ambient, so very hot apartment)

I know gaming will never push it that much, so I'll leave it and see how it holds up.



Edit: depending on the silicon lottery I hear these babies will hit 5.0-5.2, but I am on air (CoolerMaster Hyper 212x) and I'm not that brave lol.
