I recently got a broken computer as payment for a data recovery project...however as it turns out the computer isn't entirely broken, it actually works fine, all I had to do was reset the bios and remove the GPU. There's only one part that was broken and that was the GPU, reason for that was overheating since the Clud3D sticker on top of the GPU wasn't in place to it has been blocking the fan from spinning as it should. Anyhow, now I have ended up with a dilemma, what computer should I use?
The specs below is what I can put together with parts that I got and with the parts that I currently use and note that the only "real" difference is the CPU.
Additional Question:
- Is it possible to use both Corsair tri-channle (TR3XG1600C9) RAM at the same time as my current Kingston RAM which isn't tri-channel?
- How much can the i7 be overcloed?
