Kicking ass
1 of 1 found this helpful This is one of those upgrades that instantly made a difference.
The 2011 6x00 processor was still doing it's thing, but apps were getting laggy, and the system fan had begun running endlessly from the moment I started up.
The upgrade to 8300 has resulted in responsive system and apps, and the fan kicks in only when I'm doing the most intensive gaming and/or Adobe CC post processing.
It is such a delight to use my system now, that I realize I would have happily paid much more. much sooner, had I known how drastic the improvement would be.
