Although that pic has my laptop connected to my pc, I usually have a mini tower connected to use to watch films on stored on the external hard drive .

A worthwhile upgrade, is that - who knows, one fine day you may want to overclock it.Pleb wrote:With the money saved I am replacing CPU with an i7 4790k 4.0Ghz.
I may do but I don't like the idea of decreasing it's lifetime. Maybe if it became slow and outdated but then I'd sooner replace it depending on cost.Cody wrote:A worthwhile upgrade, is that - who knows, one fine day you may want to overclock it.
After a series of hassles, my new machine is finally up and running, and on test. I'll install the gfx card later this week.
Although newly-built, it's mostly last year's spec:Pleb wrote:I've probably asked this before but what spec is your new machine Cody?
.That spec is more than good enough to run any game current or coming soon. Plus if you built it yourself you'll have more of a sense of accomplishment. I would love to be able to but as I'm not very technical I'd probably break something!Cody wrote:Although newly-built, it's mostly last year's spec:
The mobo was gifted to me by a pirate, and my brother helped finance the GPU (they are both generous souls).

It is surprisingly straightforward to self-build these days - as long as you're careful and thorough. Obviously, it can seem daunting if you've never built one before, and there YT is your friend - oodles of step-by-step vids (sorting the wheat from the chaff takes some time though). Of course, if the dread god Finagle or his mad prophet Murphy decide to get involved, then it may become rather - interesting! Yes, interesting is definitely the word!Pleb wrote:I would love to be able to but as I'm not very technical I'd probably break something!
In turbo boost mode it clocks at 4.4Ghz. As for O/C all modern CPUs have thermal cutouts for protection. The worst thing that can happen is that you can't boot and in that case you revert to the default settings.Pleb wrote:With the money saved I am replacing CPU with an i7 4790k 4.0Ghz.

Driving down the street
I see "Jesus Is Lord"
And then immediately after
I hear the word "FNORD!"
Innocuous sayings and parables
And on the evening news
I hear the word "FNORD!"
And suddenly I'm confused
I sit alone in my room
And I'm feeling rather bored
I turn on the tube and guess what
I hear the word "FNORD!"
"Don't see the fnords and they won't eat you"
That's what I've heard the wisemen say
But I can't get away from those beasties
There's just no fucking way.
I believe I found these on alt.discordia
