    Expand the scores...
    Graphics Score
    11703 <<<--- Normal
    Physics Score
    2460 <<<--- Da FK!!! Super low score for the CPU type.
     
    Processor - Intel Core i7-6700K
    Reported stock core clock - 4,000 MHz
    Maximum turbo core clock - 802 MHz <------THIS IS LIKELY YOUR PROBLEM, Not Clocking up to Turbo.
    Are your on the right Windows 'Power Profile' being High Performance, not Power saving or balanced?
    Best to recheck bios and such things as something is totally amiss with your CPU scores.

    Aged office ladies in my former workplace kept calling us for IT help. Even when it comes to backing up data into their external HDDs.  :rolleyes:

    I think the choice for 500GB HDD is good because the family will be using it for work too. Maybe the SSD can come in later when the family is feeling adventurous.

    Honestly if you take your time and don't rush there's not much to go wrong. For instance an AIO like H100i could fail and leak and there goes your pc. at least with a custom loop you have some control over what you want to cool and how you want to do it.
    That being said custom loops are not at all a good price/performance option. It's really only for looks/silence, the cons highly outweigh the pros it's a hobby really.

    fir_nev reacted to ttam in [How To] Keep your current Windows install with a new motherboard.   
    So, majority of us have installed a new motherboard and run into having to just install our operating system to accommodate the new hardware.
    Well, I'm going to share a little trick that I know on how to be able to use the same OS install on the new hardware problem free.
    This is something that I use personally and very often in a computer shop environment.
    It's much easier to just do this instead of having to backup someones data, move it here, install the os, move it back. That sucks. 
     
    WARNING - WARNING
    I only recommend this to users who are comfortable troubleshooting. 
    I have never had an issue with the software itself. 
    Used this hundreds of times.
    Just better to be safe than sorry.
    But problems can happen. I don't want to be responsible for someone messing something up.
    So please, take caution when trying something like this.
    It can always be fixed. Nothing a OS re-install can't repair haha.

    It's a pretty simple .ISO called Paragon Adaptive Restore.
    It was a free tool offered by the Paragon Software company up until about 2010 when they started to adapt it into their paid programs only.
    I have contacted the company about distributing the software and they had no worries about it since they will offer a download to it if asked
     
    Current Download Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3gyoaqlx29d6yxw/AADAYBACDOK0by5GVHaAMoJha/Paragon%20Adaptive%20Restore (Updated 7/30/14)
    File Size: 154 MB
    File Type: ISO Image
     

    Start off by creating the bootable CD.
    I personally use the program ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com) to create my cd's.
    Once the CD is booted, restart the computer and boot to the CD.
     
    Make sure your current motherboard has been REPLACED with the new motherboard.
    These are the steps to follow once your new motherboard has been installed.
     
    1. Accept the end user license agreement by checking the box and hitting Accept.

     
    2. Select "Adjust OS"

     
    3. Select the Operating System on the drive.

     
    4. Select which option - I normally choose Adjust the OS automatically.
    4.5. I rarely have the use the second option.

     
    5. From here you will see the software injecting and editing the proper drivers.

     
    6. Paragon hasn't changed anything yet. It needs your permission to apply the changes, click Yes, Apply the changes physically.
    6.5 After this do not interrupt anything and just restart your computer normally and everything should boot into Windows.

     
    You will need to remove older drivers once in Windows and install your new drivers.

    HEY!
     
    So, we've recently added webm/gifv support on the forums, and I'm gonna show you all how to convert things to webm/gifv with very little hassle.
     
    But why ixi?! Why use webm?! My gif is just fine!
    No, it's not. It's huge! 
     
    for example : 
    ffmpeg -i gif.gif -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -threads 0 -an -b:v 10M output.webm ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -threads 0 -an -ss 00:00:22 -t 00:00:5 -b:v 10M output.webm
