HELL YEA BITCH

Got my i5 2500s in the mail two days ago, after replacing my i3 2130 with this, holy stuff the performance in games literally doubled. I went from High - Very High with Low Textures and FXAA with the Redux in GTA V with 30 - 40 fps, to everything maxed with X4 MSAA both for the game and reflections, and getting 40-60fps

Mafia 3 plays at max and I get 30 - 40 fps

Holy mother of forget this one simple $20 dollar processor upgrade made such a major ass loving difference, god my GTX 670 must've been bottlenecked to stuff.

The last things I gotta buy for my PC before it's finished:
- Arctic Alpine 11 Pro Rev.2
- 2x Arctic F12 3pin fans
- 1x Arctic F9 3pin fan
- used but not literally been used $35 Arctic Accellero Xtreme III GPU cooler
- 3pin Y fan splitter

All of these last parts are under $70 to get in total, and I'm selling a PC for $70, aka my pc is like a week-ish from being done!

mine looks like an office pc with an entire front mesh and no LEDs at all aside from the HDD one, it maxes out every game I've tested and is nearly silent :thinking:

DUDE I WANT YOUR RETRO PC OMFG

SHOW PICTURES PLEASE

2006 was quite the year for desktop PC's

Core2 Quad QX6700 - The first consumer quad-core from intel
Nvidia 8800 GTX - The first DirectX 10 GPU, the first CUDA accelerated GPU, first GPU with unified shaders, first GPU to support 3-way SLI, first GPU with 768MB vram, first 384-bit bus-width GPU
Hitachi HDS72505 - First consumer 500GB hard drive, first consumer SATA 2 drive

SLI bridge, case/fans, PSU, and CPU cooler are new. Everything else was either manufactured in 2006 or early 2007.










It can actually runs games and use all 3 GPU's without crashing. The GPU's get EXTREMELY hot because their thermal paste has turned to dust in the last 12 years.
Despite the boot drive being from 2006, it doesn't take too terribly long to boot into Windows 10, could be faster if you used Windows 7 or Vista.
4 of the 5 drives are in a raid configuration for my Steam library and none of them show signs of dying.

I'd like to get all matching SATA cables and a case originally from 2006 in the future. However a PSU from 2006 is where I draw the line...

[carolcat]

would you consider reapplying the thermal paste in those GPUs?
