Setup:
To do this before removing the old processor (Pentium D 3.4GHz) I did a system benchmark test using various benchmarking tools. The best two software's I used were Futuremark's PCmark05 and Passmark performance test.
The room temperature.
Since Maldives is a hot country, I guess the temperature would effect the performance of the system during the benchmark. I check my room temperature monitor. It showed me inside: 29 ˚C , outside 30 ˚C and humidity 78% before the test. I made it control by switching on the air condition. After a while inside temperature reached 25 ˚C.
