Sorry for the T5 psu...I had it lying around though, overall it seems to be a somewhat balanced piece of hardware for the average internet user and word processor.

Personal Upgrade:

 

 

 

6950 will go in here as well as 12Gb of ram 1x8gb & 1x4gb

 

I then Installed the 4Gb stick to get into the bios to see what this G3258 was idling at on the stock cooler.

 

 

Here is a side by side look at both machines.

Still waiting on Ram, need to install fans on gpu and need to cable manage.  Will update soon!

 

Correct Method for doing this:

Slap some thermal paste on there, solder on the fans, superglue the backs of the fans on the plastic mounts, re-assemble, forget to plug in the 3 pin connector to the pcb and have to use the heatsink to install it

 

Oh and since the mobo swap i'm currently unable to install my gpu

 

new mobo or new case? the only 16x slot hits right were the hdd and odd separater is

Still working on things, need to cable manage and get gpu up and running...Ram not here yet...

You have it set to auto Vcore or did you manually enter a 1.29?

It's an offset

Was curious as Prime 95 is known to 'overdraw' on the Haswells.

 

A 1.29~ seems high for a 4.2GHz OC... unless you lost the silicon lottery...

Fairly sure I did poorly in the lottery, but it does appear to be overdrawing It is only suppose to be drawing 1.275v MAX
