I find it baffling that the owner of said computer put so much work into modifying the case, make the system water-cooled, and yet make the CPU a Core i5 instead of an i7.
To each their own; I just find it a tad bizarre.
Because some people don’t require i7′s and i5′s will work just fine for what they do. How about attempting to comment on the work done here instead of putting them down somewhat.
No HT can get you higher clocks as I understand it. Good for when you need faster cores, not more of them.(Even if they are virtual cores.)
