An update on my abjective to speed up my CPU.
NewEgg has not sent me a second shipment of a heat sink for my CPU processor. They screwed up first shipment. Instead they are sending me a refund, which they say will take between 3 to 7 days. WTF! So now I have to wait until I get my money back first before ordeing another one.
You know when you are communicating with a non English speaking person when they start off with "Hi friend". That is what I get when recieving emails for some companies. I assume they are in China or India. I have not heard of any females named "Roger"!

I would never order from NewEgg again.
Their fraud is well documented online and with some pretty popular youtubers like Gamers Nexus and Jays2Cents.
Yeah I would wait a bit for GamersNexus' follow up on their interview before ordering from there again. Unfortunately for me, that means I can only buy from Amazon. But you're in 'Merica, so you have more options. I've always wanted to go to a Micro Center...
Not ONLY. We also have Canada Computers. They price match most competitors and you can pickup or have it delivered. Also, there's BestBuy, PC-Canada, Memoryexpress and even WallyMart (they do have deals occasionally and price match)
Yeah, I was following that closely as well. They had the opportunity to redeem themselves but still managed to f-it up.
Wait did something happen after the interview? Last I knew the interview was kinda meh but some good came out of it, and Steve said that they'd have to wait and see what happens.
Finally got my Nuctua (NH-U12A) heat sink installed with the faster CPU. Running Battlefield 4 I can see a big difference. Frames per second is a lot higher now. CPU usage sitting at 65% instead of 90%.
GPU usage still at about 45% so I'm assuming it has to do with the limitations of the Front Side Bus of my motherboard. Specs call for up to 5200 MT/s hyper transport 3.0 or what ever that means. Also, the MoBo only allows for PCIe 2.0. Vidoe card is a Nvidia 1070.

These guys supposedly tested BF4 using a GTX 980 Ti card in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot vs. 3.0 x16 and even 3.0 x4 and didn't see a performance difference. I have my doubts and you can't see the graphs they posted for some reason (at least I can't), but I have not seen any other benchmarks specifically for BF4.

We tested the gaming performance between the PCI Express 3.0 vs. 2.0 connections for the video card. Did it affect the actual performance? Read on!
