    like they said, their target is to release the horsepower and the manufacturers, their coolers

    you should be fine because its called "post" beeps to detect failures (if there is) before booting the entire system

    Replace something perfectly functional that attends your needs for something that will do it just as much without actual improvements is not exactly what people understand for "good deal", you're rather wasting money altogether going through the trouble.
     
    As already mentioned by @dave_k the motherboard is not the most appropriated for the processor as well.

    You better have a reason for the upgrade because gaming wise it won't change a thing most likely

    Blackhole890 reacted to Coaxialgamer in Fast help, von neuman vs harvard vs today's archiecture   
    Both of those methods describe ways the processor interacts with memory, their contents etc. 
     
    -Von Neumann describes a model where both the data and instructions are stored in a central pool of memory ( read /write)  This memory is accessed via a central bus. It was thought up by the mathematician John Von Neumann, during the 50's. 
     
    -Harvard actually pre dates Von Neumann, as it was actually first implemented in the Harvard Mark 1 computer of the 1940's, which used electromechanical relays. Both the data and instruction memory are kept seperate, with the former being read/write and the latter being read only. The advantage here is that both these memory pools have their own bus, thus meaning that the cpu can access data and instructions at the same time , improving performance. 
    It's for this reason that modern processors use a modified Harvard architecture, wirh one of the common modifications being that both memories are read/write, allowing Von Neumann's self modifying code, among other things. You can actually see the Harvard implementation by looking at L1 cache on modern chips, which is typically split.

    They won't work together for gaming and only the one your monitor is plugged into will work (for gaming).

    1440p 144Hz gets my vote. Looks almost the same at any range up to 34" and gives way more fps.

    Blackhole890 got a reaction from firecrafter711 in Are these temps normal for a Noctua NH-D14?   
    i think you have to get some good fans for intake and exhaust for your case because probably the airflow is poor, or maybe you have to change to a better thermal paste (or both, but probably you have to clean fans and change your thermal paste)
