hey folks, last hours i tried upgrading (actually downgrading by some standards) from xeon to i7 6800K. Same OS same everything else, after some routine-systematic-driver-repatching in response to newly installed CPU, the program asked me to relogin followed by a request of reactivating modules i previously bought on steam. Things back to normal when i switch back to old rig, it appears that the activation mechanism is CPU-basis, or partially based as we all know redoing operating system will cost tickets as well. It's intriguing if someone can try different ones of the same spec to see if it will only match the one you activate with.
for those who concern the 6800k despite that the image tends to shatter like a show looked like some sort of vsync issue. Generally speaking it performs a bit smoother compared with my old xeon, which has times three cores but two thirds speed. After a deep though of, like half a minute, I chose to keep hold the xeon, and activation tickets as well.
