i7 2600 in 2022 Part II: IdeaCentre K330 Debugging and GTX 770 2GB Gameplay

Hello YouTube!

After what felt like hours of debugging I finally got my upgraded K320 to work properly. Turns out if you use the "latest" BIOS for the IdeaCentre K330 on Lenovo's website it will break Windows 10 compatibility (the system won't report the CPU clock speed correctly). I had to flash a newer BIOS that I found on a Polish web forum. After finally getting the system up and running I decided to test a few games with the GTX 770. We are primarily limited by a lack of modern driver support, full DX12 capability and the 2GB framebuffer. The card does still make for a decent low end esports gaming PC in 2022 as games like Apex Legends and Fornite play flawlessly.

The exact specs I used in this video are as follows
Intel i7 2600 4C/8T CPU @ 3.4GHz
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GTX 770 2GB
2 x 1TB SATA drives in RAID1
1 x 750GB SATA storage drive
1 x 180GB SSD boot drive
Intel AC7260 Wifi + Bluetooth
Windows 10 Home

Part III will include upgrading the system to a GTX 1060 6GB and 16GB of RAM and really seeing what the i7 2600 can do in 2022.
