pro: knowing any bottlenecks in system are not the CPU.
Cons: Finding that almost no software, not Windows, nothing, is. capable of using the CPU past about 4 percent, because most software is HIDEOUSLY under-threaded. Pathetic to watch 1 or 2 cores do all the work while 30 or 31 others do, evidently, NOTHING.
withb64 gigs of 3600MHz RAM, correctly installed in the four A channels, and a blistering fast Samsung Evo SSD, liquid cooling and twontop-line video cards, I now realize that the software is woefully, pathetically, criminally under-threaded.
When you have a computer like this, the whole WORLD is the bottleneck, the black hole of speed. The low point. Your computer is a shining ray of laser light on a hill, and you look down and see all the world is lying in darkness.
On the plus side, 6922 score on the Valley benchmark, at Max HD, which was, of course, GPU limited. The CPU sure wasn't breaking a sweat. I replaced the three fans on the liquid cooler with Noctua redux's and added three more to evacuate the case.
As I said this CPU proves the rest of the world is the problem. It's like having a supercharged Hemi engine that has to breathe through a hole the size of a drinking strae., the hole being the lazily-developed software, that like much of the world, isciasting on last millennium's sales figures, and failing to invest the money to STAY CURRENT. Note :this includes the Big Two CAD/CAM programs.
