Lukewarm: Revisited

My old friend, Lukewarm-PC, was merrily built back in '14. Since then, she has seen a slew of upgrades; some out of niceties and some out of necessities. Lukewarm is now packed with:

  • an aftermarket Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo heatsink
  • overclocked a generous 800Mhz to a whopping 4.0GHz
  • an Nvidia GeForce Palit GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 graphics card
  • an additional 4GB stick of RAM bringing the total to 8GBs of RAM
  • a green Cooler Master Sickle Flow X illuminating the front of the case and bringing down temps
  • 2x20cm strips of Green LEDs garnished on the top and the bottom of the case, visible through the side panel

Pictures will be added soon to accompany the outlandish claims set forth above, when I find the free time and the willpower. Also interesting to note that the total upgrades now collectively weight in at around RM800. Hope you guys are having a great day.

Benchmarks were also carried out, revealing pleasant results.

  • Cinnebench =
  • Unigine Heaven =
  • Passmark Performance Test 8 =
  • Counter Strike: Global Offensive =


Before and after! Yes, I know, the picture isn't clear but I'm too lazy to retake it.
