Eh. There's a T5500, several hard drives and a partially rebuilt IBM thinkpad sprawled all across my desk, where I regularly put clothes, food and other unsafe materials on. These damn things don't break, even if you subconsciously try to break them.
RIP cpu. i think mine is dying. Its an i5 4670k. I still get artifacts with the old gpu and motherboard. Anyone got ideas before i spend 300ish dollars on a new cpu? its gonna take a while to save that much. edit wow used cpu prices went down a TON since i last looked. much more affordable now
I should take some photos around my computer classroom. At least the PSUs are on a separate shelf... Oh wait...
It's ok, my poor 4690k has some heat stroke still. I damaged it a little having it overheat one too many times. It falls behind other 4690k's now, and it used to be a silicon lottery winner. Oh well, all the more reason for me to look into x99, I guess.
It's like those light tube things, (don't know what you call them), but when you're trying to break one, you cannot.
No no, i smashed it on the front of the step and it didn't break, only when you don't want to break them do they break.
Apparently... I can't say I've ever attempted to break one (because glass) but it doesn't take much to break them. Drop something on one. It will break.
I'm a little skeptical of CPU-Z's benchmarks software, fairly sure even at 4.5GHz I doubt my I5 would keep up with a I7 4670k.
CPU-Z benchmark does not scale well to hyperthreading. Hyperthreading isnt as magical as some people on these forums think
