    You should always plug the computer into a grounded outlet. The monitor may also benefit from being plugged in a grounded outlet.
     
    It's not only about safety against electric shocks but also about the electronics radiating (producing) less noise which could affect things around your computer (for example you may hear buzzing or higher background noise in your speakers).
    Switching power supplies (like the ones that power your PC and your monitor) rely on the ground lead to dump "unwanted stuff" into the ground reducing noise and other things. It also reduces the risk of getting "zapped" if you touch the metal case with your fingers - it's perfectly acceptable to feel some tingle or even some sparks when you touch metal parts of your case but if the power supply is good quality, those sparks/tingles aren't at dangerous levels and having the case grounded through the power supply cable reduces that effect.

    D3L3T3D reacted to jjohnthedon1 in 4790k to ryzen 1600 results   
    So I made the switch after my 4790k died 
    and I was kinda worried that it would be lacking in gaming 
    boy was I wrong
     
    at 1440p 144hz with sli 980tis I am getting the exact same fps in gaming 
     
    but the amazing thing is it's so much smoother
    a hell of a lot smoother 
    frame drops are none existent 
     
    camera movement is rediculasly smooth
     
    100 percent not a placebo effect 
    absolutely atonashing 
     
    I can't explain it I though it couldn't get any better than the i7 for gaming but this beast has proven me wrong
     
    curently running at 4ghz at 1.437v(1.414 under full load for some reason) 
    ram at 2933mhz cas15 
     
    thanks to a lot of help from @tom_w141

    5820K or 6800K might be a good upgrade.

    Zen maybe too... supposed to be about like getting the 6900k for the price of a 6800k, maybe it will live up to the hype. Still hearing Jan-Feb last I checked.

    If VM is your main focus, you probably are one of the few persons who would be upgrading by using an FX-83xx, unless you can afford the 2011-3 chips. But then it's better to wait for Zen and see what happens with pricing.
    However, if you are going to do the other things you mentioned in the same rig, especially gaming, then it only makes sense to upgrade within intel as much as you can.
     
    Would it make sense for you to do a scrapyard Piledriver or Xeon build for virtualization, and optimize your current rig for all the other tasks?

    I'm impressed (mostly) with the strides Windows 10 has made with catching up to macOS on making the experience personal. They've still got a long, long way to go before they fix stupid though. Having control panel, and settings is a bad start.

    D3L3T3D reacted to Hecknologist in i5-3570K High Temps With 240mm Radiator   
    The problem with the 3570k is the Thermal Interface Material under the heatspreader is not great, and has degraded over time. I have the same CPU and had the same issue.
    The only way to fix the temps is to replace that TIM, which means delidding your CPU.
    There are some great guides online, just google it, but be warned: it is somewhat risky if you go with the razor method and you are voiding your warranty.
    I used the vice method and would highly recommend that option.

    I've been thinking of delidding my 3570k for a while. the temps are a bit high for a kraken x61 (peaking at 55, idle in 35s range), it's not great but nothing to potentially destroy my system over.

    Lol, maybe once I get my CNC mill, I'll make my own heatspreader assembly; with extra fins.

    I just re-read through my old thread about how I did it. I used an old celeron off ebay as practice so I knew what I was doing before the real deal. I'd recommend doing that first.
    More info about the details of it can be found here:

    Or just look at this list:

    All jokes aside, he's right, IF you want to delid, use the vice method. Blunt objects, more surface area, less error

    Here is a link to the results I got from it:

    Yes, it can sound quite scary and I would definitely recommend doing your research. If you do go ahead with it you just have to take your time and not do something stupid, like use a chisel. If you don't feel confident with tools like a bench vice maybe get some help or look at alternatives.
     
    I would ABSOLUTELY recommend against the razor method, as one little scratch can/will kill your CPU. The vice method has no sharp objects involved and requires just a little pressure on the sides and the heat spreader will pop right off. It also means you can use masking tape to give some padding while you hold it.
