Finally retired my 9 year old 2500k set up, you served me well.

You need to put the old computer into a boat filled with wood and straw, set it adrift, and shoot a flame arrow into it.

yea, i did recently as well. Found a prebuilt HP omen with a $2000 dollar price tag for 450 bucks at a walmart of all places.

Originally planned to have another ML140 exhaust fan but the clearance on the radiator was tiiight! (Swapped the inc. RGB fans to the front with standard ML140's on Rad) Spent a bit of time tweaking settings in bios and finally happy with performance/stability in stress tests.

Also finally moved on from a plank of wood on a camping table and 6 years sitting on a bed/3 in a tiny rubbish chair to a proper desk and chair, my back is so thankful!
