    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://forum.asrock.com/member_profile.asp?PF=3601">alfa_id2</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 3206<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 07 Aug 2016 at 5:07pm<br /><br /><div>This is my old PC, I used to play games with it but since I'm getting busier and busier ion my work, I don't game with it that often anymore, it's been almost 5 years since I last upgrade it&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Looks crap I know, but I just don't care how it looks</div><div><img src="https://picx.xfastest.com/h&#111;navia/others/7154.jpg" height="960" width="1706" border="0" /></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It is running with a AMD Phenom X4 945 and DDR3 1333 4GB memory, so it is slow as hell, I think it doesn't even has SATAIII, so trying to get more speed by getting a SSD? not happening&nbsp;</div><div><img src="https://picx.xfastest.com/h&#111;navia/others/7155.jpg" height="960" width="1706" border="0" /><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Very old seasonic power supply, got to say seasonic really can build good PSU back then</div><div><img src="https://picx.xfastest.com/h&#111;navia/others/7156.jpg" height="960" width="1706" border="0" /><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>AMD CPU is a byword for overheating,&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 16.8px;">adding a bigger cooler is a must</span></div><div><img src="https://picx.xfastest.com/h&#111;navia/others/7157.jpg" height="960" width="1706" border="0" /><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>so here are some points why I need an upgrade:</div><div>1. AMD CPU&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 16.8px;">slow as f*ck and produce lots of heat, great heater though</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;">2. My MB is too old, no SATAIII/M.2 so it is very slow, no point to get a SSD and run SATAII speed</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;">3. No USB3.1 even USB3.0, imagine how slow it is to transfer a 5GB video&nbsp;</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;">4. I don't play games any more,&nbsp;</span>probably getting rid of the graphic card and just use the IGP instead, I heard intel and some great result on their new skylake CPUs</div><div>5. DDR3 1333 is just too old, no point to upgrade my current memory to 8GB when the price of DDR3 &amp; DDR4 are currently about the same, if I wanted to buy more Rams, it will be DDR4</div><div><br></div><div>With that been said, I wish I could have a H170 Performance/Hyper from ASRock, it has M.2, 4*DDR4 DIMMs, lots of graphis out put to chose and something called "Hyper BCLK Engine", further more, the color scheme looks so nice!!</div><div><br></div><div><img src="http://www.asrock.com/mb/photo/Fatal1ty%20H170%20Per&#102;ormanceHyper%28L2%29.jpg" height="1000" width="1200" border="0" />&nbsp;</div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.8px;"><br></span></div>]]>
