  1. Something seems wrong with my CPU or my heatsink. 

    I currently have my i7 4790k cooled by a Hyper 212 EVO at 4.4Ghz and the maximum tempearutes are between 70~75C° on FULL load (20~ min rendering in Blender CPU) , they seem fine to me, the problem is when i try to increase the Ghz by 0.1 the maximum temperatures go up by 25~30C° while rendering the same frame in just under a minute, reaching 100C° and then throttling.

     

    Can someone help me to know better what is going on.

    •I used the thermal paste that came with the heatsink

    •i used the line method

    •I cleaned the heatsink and made sure it was well attached

  2. Sorry for this dumb question but i got for homework to investigate what are the 5  best numer cruncing processors TO DATE from Intel and AMD, i know the basics about cpus but is there even a list where i can find the top of the line to the lowest performance cpus?

    From intel i have been looking at this chart : http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7ee-processor.html
    But i dont think the i7s are faster than a 24 core xeon in calculations apps
    From amd im a bit in the dark.
    Can someone please enligthen me please

  3. After this post -> Post

     

    I got some recommendations about what should i get, moving from a dual core to a quad core.

     

    The motherboards im looking now are the following ones:

     

    Motherboards

    Gigabyte

    GA-B85M

     

    Asrock

    H97M Anniversary

    B85 Anniversary

    H97M-PRO4
     

    and the CPU is this one:
    Intel
    Core i5 4460 3.2Ghz Quad Core Lga 1150

     

    Im about to order the gigabyte mobo and the cpu, is there anything i need to know? is there something wrong about THOSE combos? please let me know if i should buy something better or change something

     

    1. Budget & Location

    I can afford all 4 combos, and maybe a little more.

     

    5. Why are you upgrading?

    I need to do multitasking and doing it with a dual core cpu its a pain in the brain i have some tabs open and when i try to do something like opening a game example: hearthstone the pc starts to get frozen for shot periods of time, but when im doing single tasks it works perfect even run bf 3 sp- at 60~170 fps on a gtx 750 ti on ULTRA

     

    6. Minor Problem

    I saw those motherboards require a 12v 8 pin power connector, but my power supply only has a 4 pin power connector , i read on some forums i can plug in the 4 pin into the 8 pin but you can have random shutdowns because of power delivery, if there is no problem i will leave it like that.

    Video card could wait a little bit, but my intention was to give you the option of eventually crossfiring two of them which would give very solid performance.  A single 280x is a very strong card for 1080p though.  If you decide to stay single GPU, your 500W psu is fine.  
    If you wait on video cards, you can definitely get something like an i5-4440 instead of the i3.

     

    Holy Cow thats a lot of money, more than i expected i have the storage+video card i just want the CPU+MOBO buti i think i have to buy a new psu anyways due to the 8 pin connector (i have 4 pin connector)
