TX_Angel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 SSD came in, clone went well, up and running from it no issues so far... and... ... wow. Well, don't make us guess! Ok, I'll guess... you feel like you have a new computer all of a sudden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Well, don't make us guess! Ok, I'll guess... you feel like you have a new computer all of a sudden? Where it makes a difference, it makes a very noticeable difference. Windows loads faster than it takes to get through POST, BIOS, and to Windows the splash screen. Loading between worlds / instances in SWTOR is remarkably faster. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLGChaos Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You bet, happy to help. The jump from a base of 3.3GHz on a Haswell era chip to 4.2GHz is actually a huge jump. Voltage and heat shouldn't be an issue, unless you really start to use all 6 cores. Might I suggest you watch it if you DO decide to run something (like video encoding or 3D rendering) that will max out all 6 cores (and 12 threads), you might end up pushing it a bit in such a situation. Since SWTOR only uses 2 cores really, you are not likely at a lot of risk playing this game. The Corsair H60 is a great unit, it is the 120mm version, the H90 in my main desktop is the 140mm version, but basically the same thing as far as I can recall, other than radiator and fan size. I mostly used my PC for gaming. Don't do any rendering or video encoding, so I should be safe. I may have to take a look at my BIOS again, though I was able to change the cpu core speeds, and CPU-Z shows that I can 4.2 after changing to cores from auto to 42, my multiplier is still at 12 because I couldn't find anything in the BIOS to change it. Base Clock was set at 1.25 on 100mhz, so that might be it, but I'm not sure. It's a learning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
