Some new hardware

Since I managed to damage my motherboard during when I removed the CPU somehow I have upgraded to a Skylake i5 6600K, still 16GB RAM, but now running at 2800MHz, DDR4, instead of 1600MHz, DDR3.

Currently trying to find a stable voltage setting for 4.5GHz. I read that running Prime95 is no longer a good idea so I have tried one called ROG RealBench. From what I have tested it does seem to be a tad more realistic than synthetic benchmarks like Prime95. I mean the loads it creates for your CPU to deal with.

Granted if it is stable enough for my use I will only know once drop this testing and start foldimg actively again on it.

Hopefully I will manage to recover my old mobo, and have that up and running again as well. I will need a hdd or ssd for storage for it, Can use the internal GPU and the rest needed I already got laying around.
