    Still in the process of overclocking. Managed to reach 3.8GHz today which had been a long time goal, but now I'm feeling confident and want to push for 4GHz. :D

    Even if I don't reach much further, I will have to tighten up timings and try to reduce the voltage a bit.

    After that I'll be looking to overclock the graphics cards.

    It's well over ten year old, it's still very capable, I'm running photoshop and after effects on it, it's just hard drives that annoy me. I miss my SSD spiny hard drives are so slow and hard drive noises suck, it sounds like there's a gaggle of woodpeckers trapped inside my PC desperately trying to get out.

    No I had to put the GTX in for the HDMI and I upgraded the CPU from a dual core 6700. The PSU is from the new PC too, as is the DVD drive. It's mostly old school though.
