  1. Hi All, I'm planning to buy Asus Strix Z370-(E,F,G) and put it in Fractal Design Meshify C. Also I am planning to use NZXT Kraken X62 and position it on top of the case. I am a bit concerned of the clearance because the VRM heatsink of the Strix board looks like its going to interfere with the rad of the Kraken although Meshify C's website says that Top radiator: 120/240mm (max component height on motherboard 40mm) Can I ask whoever has the same configuration or even using a Z270-E (board design on this is closely similar to Z370-(E,F,G) )? I couldn't put the rad in front as it will interfere with my Strix GTX 1070 Thanks
  2. Asus has a Z370 motherboard if that's your brand
  3. I'd go for a 1080. An OC'd 1070Ti might out perform a 1080 but you can always OC a 1080 and beat the 1070Ti. And oh by the way, checkout the comparison of the popular techtubers like LTT, GamersNexus, JayzTwoCents, Paul's Harware, Bitwit, DigitalFoundry, OC3D, HardwareUnboxed. So you can decide for yourself
  4. I don't think the OP has buget contraints as he's also planning to get a XBox One X.
  5. If you can get a 8700K and a Z370 motherboard then that's better but I don't know if the supply has gone back. The rest of the system looks great. However, if you badly need the system now then your only option is 7700K then go for it.
  6. I just watched Linus' review of the 8700K and I noticed that the 7500 doesn't lag too far behind the 7700K in gaming. Assuming that the 7700 is maybe a little bit closer to the 7700K in terms of general gaming performance which is my primary use case for my rig I think 7700 will be the most sensible upgrade for me.
  7. I'm already on F20 which supports the i7 7700
  8. My motherboard don't support overclocking. And i7 7700 is the cheapest option among the 3
  9. Hi LTT Community Here's my configuration CPU: Core i5 6500 MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H170N WiFi GPU: Asus GTX 1070 MONITOR: 1080p 144Hz I noticed that with some game, 6500 bottlenecks the 1070. I am now contemplating for a CPU upgrade. My options are: Get a i7 7700 and be done with it Switch to Ryzen 1600x Wait for Q1 2018 for Coffee lake Thanks for your opinion
  10. Oh this will be fun, and what about your CPU sir? By the time we hit 100 replies to this topic we'll have all the info we need to give our opinions on his problem.
  11. As has been stated in earlier replies, the thing is that the CPU could not keep up with the GPU. So at 1080p you will see the worst performance from a weak CPU like i5 6500 or Amd Fx8350. My solution I enabled DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution). DSR will try and render the game to a higher resolution that your monitor's native resolution. In my case, I am now running my games @ 1440p DSR mode and now I am getting better FPS will all settings cranked up. Does this mean I solved my problem? Yes and No. Yes that now I am able to play at decent framerates and No because I feel that this is just a band aid fix. I will probably wait for Coffeelake stuff to be available or will just go for Ryzen 1700 Maybe but it fits my needs (by not making my room like a sauna), Again my problem to begin with is not the framerate that I get from R9 390 its the heat that it produces.
  12. Yup thats right thanks for the correction
  13. Are you inside a chiller bro? My ambient temp when im playing is 30 to 35 degrees c. Anyway good for you.
  14. Today I finally pulled the trigger. I bought a GTX 1070 replacing my Sapphire R9 390. Finally I can play games with max settings on my 1080p 144hz monitor without making my room like a sauna. To be honest, my R9 390 plays decent frames but I need to open the side panel of my case to drop the temps. However, when playing at native 1080p the damn i5 6500 is bottlenecking my 1070 so I need to enable DSR and play at simulated 1440p. Oh the problem never stops... or maybe I just made a bad call?
  15. I understand that demand is high. My point is that 512 cuda cores worth 150 USD this is what I refer as insane.
