I never thought I would find myself doing any upgrades to a 5 year old pc.. but then again I didnt think I would ever have a kid or be married
Despite it being 5 years old, I did upgrade it to a SSD, and have a video card thats about 3 years old now AMD 6870.
It still meets my gaming needs, Im really only playing Diablo 3 at the moment. But what doesn't is the noise.
The video card can be heard down the hall. Im using the stock cooler on it as well as the CPU.
It appears a $100 Amazon card has made it to my pocket. So.. its burning. Its burning a hole in my pocket. What would you get to make it quieter? A few bucks over the 100 is fine, but not too far.
So far I was looking at Accelero L2 PLUS for the video card perhaps.
Water cooling may be ok, but I suppose im a little paranoid of pump failures and longetivity. Who knows how much longer I will be using this one.
