Specs in sig, just put together a stop-gap pc from old bits while waiting for my new hardware & intend to overclock it on the weekend when I have a spare hour.

What a beast!

looking forward to overlooking her, shame the board isn't great.

Boom, super jeluz. Don't forget to post pics.

Well, I guess everyone is begging to know, will it run Crysis?

Luke_Bowman · 20 May 2011 at 17:10

Crysis 2 1080p @ 120fps?

Better Question would be Crysis 1 and 1080p 120fps

Now touching 70c on full load @ 1.4v, this corsair value select RAM doesn't seem to mind being pushed, it was getting a bit warm so I reversed the side fan to draw air in at the board.

When it gets a bit closer to payday & my new stuff is on order I've a good mind to push it to destruction!

Regarding graphics, it struggles to play iplayer smoothly let alone running a game!

3Ghz with ram@858mhz. If it weren't for the fact I play games I'd bank the money from selling my old hardware & not bother upgrading!

The DS3 is an awesome mobo! Held it's own very well back in the days.

My E6300 @ 2.8Ghz with 2Gb of PC1066 and 8800GT is still nice to use. Plays Bad Company, Bio Shock 2 etc with not much problem!

Excellent

I was considering putting in a better GPU & some faster RAM, just to see.

It's gone wingzero, served me proud for 4 years but the upgrade itch got the better of me!
