Now What?

[Starelementpoke]

After years of saving and scouring craigslist and ebay for parts, I now have in my possession a very decent computer cobbled together for $320. My question is now, What do I do? Already built it, messed around with overclocking o my gpu(To no avail unfortunately), and double, and tripled checked drivers. What do now?

I benched marked with Furmark. And i'm too poor now to afford games to do said benchmarks.

First, what program did you use to OC the GPU?

 

And, well, what did you want to do with it?

 

You could always do some folding. (Shameless plug)

Tried using MSI Afterburner. As for what I wanted to do, I dunno. MY old computer was a Complete POS and I wanted a new one so came to this. I guess play games like Skyrim. Although, I enjoy the bragging rights I got for having the best computer among my TS friends...

That's unfortunate... What happened? Just clocked up a little then freeze up?

 

You could always just fold while you're not gaming. I'm impressed you managed to do that with such a low budget.

Pretty much. I'd increase the speed by like 10mhz and get a blue or brown screen when I tested it with furmark. Going tbh, the 4690k came from a $200 supply drop from my dad cause of Christmas, but I had a used one lined up for $100 so I still count it as $320.

You cheeky liar. 

 

Ehh, I do it sometimes too. (Counted a sold part against total price, but it was only $20, and I overspent on one part, soooo....)

Hey, I would've gone for it, but the guy didn't have the box, so he was going to ship it in some bubble wrap and an envelope, so I went with the safer option.

I don't blame ya. One of the guys sent me an E5-2680 xeon in a desktop CPU case. It was also taped all around it to keep it in it and it was coated in thermal paste, but it did come in a box at least.

Why did you buy it? If you have to ask us what to do with it, I'd say you just wasted some money on stuff you don't even know any use of.

Your system identical to mine. Only the CPU. Yours is unlocked, mine isn't. I can get good fps on GTA 5, H1Z1. And other games which I can't remember. I have yet to try fallout 4.
