The Dreadnought
Did a little computer upgrade today…outside of some needed cable-wrangling it looks pretty nice, and seems to run very fast.

With the onboard watercooling, I’ve managed to overclock it to 4.2 Ghz staying below 50 C at max load. I’m running an encode test, then I’m going to benchmark to see how it stacks up to my last build, an Athlon X 2 from about 5 years ago.
I’m going to keep trying to overclock as much as I can, with the hope that I can get it up to 4.6 Ghz. I feel like I have the headroom so far, but we’ll see. So far, despite the install being a bit trickier than normal, I’m a big fan of the watercooling system. Unless it explodes, of course…
