that desktop upgrade

[applesauce]

So like last week there was some memory on sale that I bought, 8gb of ddr3 1600 gskill ripjaw x series.

Then today I just bought an i7 2600k, an asus engt 550 ti, an msi p67a-g43, and a corsair h80.



I AM SO EXCITE. 

[?????]

I'm excite and it's not even mine

[applesauce]

So I didn't end up purchasing the rest of the stuff yet because ING is being a bitch and holding my transfer to US Bank for 5 business days. But good thing I didn't because newegg just dropped the H80 by another $10 today (making a total price drop of $38 in just two weeks) and added free shipping. So I snapped one of those up before they can hike it back up. Now if ING gets their shut together and gives up my cash I can get the CPU, GPU, and mobo on like Monday or Tuesday I hope.

Aw yeah ing & us bank got their shit together so I just ordered the mobo, CPU, and gpu. Fuck yeah, pony.

ups left a fucking note instead of a package

[?????]

Who dey think dey playn wid

[applesauce]

Yeah it came yesterday and the h80 doesn't really fit in my case. Had a lot of homework so didn't get shut installed, but it boots

[?????]

aw fuck yomp

[applesauce]

aww yeah running it at 4.6 ghz. I got it to boot a 4.9, but wasn't stable long term until 4.6. Has more thermal room, but I wanted to keep my vcore at or under 1.4 so I guess that ended up being my limit. Hits like 73 or so under full load after about 20 mins. Ambient here is like 31.

NOW I KICK ASSES
