Title: hardware update
Post by: DTF Seti_Sniper on October 31, 2017, 09:46:39 PM
well KOF inspired me....i like his bo...  :-X

naaa the idea of getting some hardware from the young-punks who want the newest

so i found updates for Phoebus pretty okay priced and good specs (young punk at 17)
so she will force u @ next party with a MSI z87-g43 gaming mobo with an I5-4670, 16Gs ram and Corsair H75 liquid cooler for the price approx 200€
and btw a brand new monitor  8)  ( https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/curved/lc27fg70fqnxza-lc27fg70fqnxza/ (https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/monitors/curved/lc27fg70fqnxza-lc27fg70fqnxza/) )

guess it would work 4 a headshot or 2

@Star: Hey she got skillz, u just havent seen them yet due 2 u r never here  ;)
gaming right now a 100% dead, but we will most likely buy the new CoD which was released 2day

@Kof: MoBo has integrated GFx card, but im trying to make a deal with another young punk for a MSI GTX 960 Gaming 4Gb,
actually im trying to close 2 deals both with GTX960 cards, if this fails i most likely buy 2 new GTX1050 cards

@Blanco: well i need the 2 GFX cards and some more RAM (for my PC), then 2x windows re-install, buy 2x new game
then free spare time to game.... but then we r rdy  :P

So Phoebus's pc will end in approx 270€ (2000kr) with spec: mobo MSI z87-g43, CPU I5-4670, 16Gs ram, GFx ASUS GTX960

so i only missing the RAM for my PC and then a install of all  8)

Phoebus's PC fully up running.... smooth speed  :P  just need all the different App's install  (Steam, TS, office, CoD ect)
the new KB and Monitor are n1ce  :-\  (just need to figure out the profiling stuff on the keyboard, which is not just straight forward  ??? , might have to read the manual  :-X )

Only disappointment.... so far.... are the "emotion"-backlight on the monitor, you can turn it off, have it blinking (really annoying, who the hell find that cool) or set to follow game-movements (well its a gaming monitor), but i would really like a option to turn it on constant, becoz it gives a nice background lightning in the room... but Samsung didn't feel the needs for that option  ::)  (i most likely modify it hardware vice  8) )

My PC now upgraded with the new GFx, bad start was struggling with a faulty HD, slow like hell took 12hours to install win10 first time, out of the window with that... had a spare SSD in the drawer.... never go down on equipment  8)
Next issue Win10 struggling now with final "update" which i fails at 70%, tried to use the "total reset" function in win10, but at last update it again fails at 70% and the win10 itself recommend a "controlled background reinstall" which i say OK do it..... again fails at last update 70%
so i'm in the "mind-box" now  ???  >:(  :-X

a few pics' (or it never happened)
Before new GFx cards.... note my beloved GeForce EN8800 GTX SLI setup.... it gave the PC a long life time (the 8800 was released in 2007)
(http://www.danishtaskforce.dk/billeder/div/poul_beforedec2017.jpg)

After GFx install.... now i only have 1 GFX... i feel naked  ;)  Airflow a bit different setup than Phoes  (5x80mm 4x120mm, no water pump)

 ;D standard procedure at Kanto residence around Xmas  :-\

PS: got win10 installed without errors now.......... old obsolete soundcard/driver not win10 compatible

Most of the times the sound chip on the mobo is as good as your older soundcard :)
Title: Re: hardware update
Post by: DTF Seti_Sniper on December 04, 2017, 06:16:42 AM
its was the mobo chip, i disabled it in the BIOS and then i got through installation
the external SB card i ditched together with the faulty HD, in the thought that the mobo sound chip probably would do.
Then SB card is even older than the mobo card, at win7 it was already obsolete

Will all of this end with a couple of benchmarks ?  ???
Title: Re: hardware update
Post by: DTF Seti_Sniper on December 04, 2017, 04:00:17 PM
the benchmark will be.......... do it run CoD:WWWII smooth or not
only purpose of the upgrade  8)

I couldn't resist myself last week. Bought myself a 'new' PC on an online execution sale and until now: YAY MOOOOOO  :P :P :P.
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming mobo
CPU I7-6700K
ASUS 970GTX 4 Gb videocard
16 Gb RAM
Corsair Carbide 300R case


All came with a 24" HD Illyama screen, Logitech wireless (yay) keyboard and mouse and a 256 Gb Samsung EVO SSD (which I replaced with my 512 Gb).
These last things (screen, kb/mouse, ssd) will be included when I'm going to sell my previous I5-4570 PC.
I hope I will get near breakeven on selling price (compared to what I paid for the new system).
