Like: My new computer.
Got a new processor, mobo, memory, and a kickin liquid cooling system/radiator. Also an LED fan for the side of my case to 1) promote good circulation, and more importantly 2) look bitchin.
Overclocking was surprisingly easy. 3.2ghz AMD quad core was running at 50C under load from the p95 max heat torture test. Overclocking it to 3.6 raised it to 51C. Overclocking to 4 raised it to 52C.
I could probably go faster, but it seems like it would be a fantastic waste. Right now my FPS in games seems capped by my graphics card, a GTX 460. And "capped" is a bad word, because I run at 60fps (max my monitor shows) almost all the time, dipping to ~45 in Rift dungeons.
Next upgrade seems like it would be getting another GTX 460 and SLI'ing the two cards together, but my mobo doesn't have two PCIE slots (oops!). Guess I'll just have to live with "ownage" and not "super ownage."
