    Forgotten CPU

    This is the first Gulftown I ever tested back in Q3 last year. Did some air tests and put it away in a drawer. Found it a few weeks ago again and had time to test it today.





    Only negative thing with it is the Uncore part and memory OC with it. Uncore maxing out at 4600ish MHz

    And I thought I did a quite nice find in my house a few days ago when I found an unopened box with a GTX 285 Matrix... Nice going, Marcus!
    I KNOW MASSMAN DISLIKES YOU.
