Friends we are gathered here today to bid a fond farewell to Cozie7s long term computing partner and friend, the i5 750.
A faithful friend of nearly 6 long years it passed away suddenly, doing what it enjoyed the most: Playing games.
It will be missed.
R.I.P.

After a short period of mourning, and longer period of swearing, it was replaced by a i5 4960K+MSI Z97 MB and 8Gb of DDR 1600 RAM.

Still rebuilding the HDD, MBR drives and this new fangled UEFI BIOS stuff don't play nice so I took the hint and am reinstalling from scratch but YE GODS! This thing is fast! :)

Thank you for your concern at this sad moment.
The memorial will be held at 12.00 hours in my front room, smart, dark dress, no Hawaiian T-shirts or flop-flops.
It was a modest soul, and will, I'm sure, be embarrassed at a full salute, just keep it in your hearts for a short while. ;)

Still checking performance figures of the new core build but with the same HD7950/OS/Drivers ETC it's at least 25-40% faster. Having been rather forced into this upgrade (I was holding off until the Broadwell refresh) I'm a little surprised as to how much extra FPS I'm seeing 10-20 FPS doesn't sound much but it's taken FC3 from <>50 with some trimming to <>60 at almost max (still keep the AA low).
