For some reason, Kawa swears up and down that AMD is hands down better than nVidia. He's wrong, but he thinks he's right.
So I upgraded my computer this weekend.
I was running an fx 6350 cooled by a hyper 212 evo on a Biostar ta970 motherboard and had 8 gbs of G Skill Ripjaws X RAM until it started going bad and had to buy 16 gbs of Hyper X Fury.
Now, I'm on Intel (thank Christ). Got the Pentium G3258, on the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7, still cooled by the hyper 212 evo and still with that same Hyper X RAM (would've gone Skylake, if I hadn't just bought DDR3 RAM). The G3258 is stock at 3.2 ghz, but it over clocks like a FUCKING DREAM. Got it to 4.4 100% stable with 1.35 volts, 60 degrees max temp under full load for 20 minutes. Hoping to get it on water sometime soon and try to push it a little bit farther.
