End of new build saga
As I said in previous post I gave my new build z390, i7 8700 build to my
son in exchange for his old i7 950 Gigabyte x58 system. Well I played around with the old box for a week or so then found it was not to my liking, That board has been rather troublesome for the last 9 years, So I decided that's enough, Out you go. Not wanting to spend another $1000+ dollars I did a fair amount of research and decided to do something I have never done before. Try an AMD CPU, so I ordered An AMD Ryzen 5 3400G CPU With onboard Vega 11 graphics and Wraith Spire cooler, an Asus B450 F motherboard and 16 GB of Corsair 1600 MHZ memory All for abut $450. Put it all together in the same Coolermaster CM 690 II case and power supply. Everything fired up nicely so I installed a fresh copy of Windows-10 ver 1903 and all was good, I had to give Microsoft my 8.1 key to activate. I just did a benchmark using Half-Life lost coast test demo and am getting 256 FPS, So all looks great. Surely this shoulb be my last build (I hope not) :-) Rene |
