Minor upgrade.. new case, water pump, processor and moar RAM! Had an Intel i7 920 before, so I more than doubled my passmark score. The new LGA 2011v3 i7's are only about 40% faster, so I figured the $99 CPU upgrade was well worth it.

 

Lian-Li V359
2x 240mm Magicool Extreme Radiators
Phobya DC12-400 12Volt Pump & Alphacool Lighttower All-in-One Reservoir Combo
XSPC G1/4? Plug Temp Sensor (mounted on spare reservoir hole, and plugged into OPT1_TEMP on motherboard for monitoring)
5x 120mm Coolermaster R4-L2R-20CK-GP Fans
GOverlay 2.8" USB LCD for monitoring system
Intel Xeon x5670 @ 4GHz
24GB (6x4GB) Corsair Dominator GT Triple Channel DDR3-2000 RAM

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
