So the below 8700K build landed on my desk recently.
I've basically done nothing but update to the latest BIOS and installed stuff like Geforce Experience etc. So everything is running at default/stock settings.
What would you specificly do to get the most out of this build?
Could be anything from fine tuning BIOS to whatever.
I'm using the computer for:
- 60% work - mainly graphics/video/3D (Adobe, After Effects, Autodesk)
- 40% gaming (Assassins Creed, Destiny 2, PuBG, Dota 2, Starcraft)
