  1. 1. What should happen after 1 million is reached?

    • Start over at 1
      28
    • Keep counting to infinity (count to the next million(s))
      104
    • Count back down to 1 (then back up)
      52
    • Other (pm or mention if you'd like)
      14

Don't judge a book by its cover. You will truly understand it if you're just willing to read it.

So I got this achievement in 3DMark called "Brawn" 

 

"Your GPU is ready to rumble but your CPU doesn't want to play." 

 

I don't know how to Intel, obviously, because an i5-4690K isn't enough for 3DMark.

Eh, I'm still trying to work out the kinks without overclocking. 

 

I know

 

Kind of a waste of getting a K processor and a Z97 motherboard if I'm not overclocking right now.

Ello FIlleh!


Here's the post I made about my new parts in PCMR Thread ^_^

 

 

I finally got my i5-4690K today. My very first order of business was to install it!

I can't figure out why I smell something burning, though....

 

 

Okay, on a more serious note, I did see my performance increase a little bit. I ran 3DMark as soon as I got it on my old parts, and my scores were kind of what I expected with hardware that was 3 years old and kind of lower middle end at that time

That's when I broke and ordered a new graphics card and power supply (though a power supply wouldn't affect my scores, I got an R9 290 and I wanted to be sure I had plenty of wiggle room for other parts since it is a pretty power hungry card)

And I saw my score jump a lot. But I was still getting utterly massacred in any physics test and my CPU was a bottleneck so I decided to order an aftermarket cooler (I'd been running on stock for the whole 2½ years) and overclock just to see if I could get any more usefulness out of it.

And I guess I did. But it wasn't all that much better and the thing was still getting really hot. And so I broke. 

 

I made the switch to Intel.

 

I also ordered a couple of Noctua case fans while I was at it because what the heck, why not?

And I guess I'm happy with it. I'm not quite sure yet. It's definitely better than the old AMD processor. But I don't know that it was worth the $350 I just spent to get 1,400 more points. I guess we'll just have to see how it runs lots of games in the time being. I was still only getting around 20 to 24 fps in the physics tests (whereas my old CPU was giving me 15-20 fps), and even though it was an improvement, I feel like I just shelled out a lot of money for a little improvement. But like I said, I'll just have to road test it and see how I like it. Regardless of what happens, I'm likely not switching to something else in the near future as I just threw about $900 into this thing. 

 

As for the CPU overclocking...am I going to overclock? I don't know yet. "But Woona, it sure is a waste of a K processor and a Z97 motherboard if you're not overclocking yet." Yes, I know. But I'm just getting a feel for the thing right now. So give it time and I'll get more comfortable with it. 

 

Besides, my case is just a standard ATX case and I had a really hard time fitting everything in there. Especially the CPU cooler and the GPU. You've got to have tweezers for hands to work in this thing because it is all such a tight fit. So do I really want to make that much heat with such little space? I don't know. So I'm just going to get a feel for what it's like and how it performs under normal conditions before I overclock.  ^_^

 

Anyway, tl;dr version: I just put a lot of new and pretty badass shit into my machine. 

 
I didn't feel like typing it all back out. :P
