In that case you should be fine with an i5-7600 (4 cores) or i5-8600 (6 cores), both have no Hyperthreading and can save you money compared to the i7s.

running out in the open, I could hear it well, but it is not running to loud. I think the Intel boexed of my 4770K was louder. Inside a case, it sould not be a problem. EDIT: Yes I was undervolting while underclocked. I will edit the main article to include the voltages. I set the voltage to 1.25V in the BIOS, CPU-Z says the voltage was @1.24V The fan was running @2300 RPM under load and @1500 RPM in idle.

Sorry, that I have posted the half finished article, I hit post by mistake. I was running this 6700K with a Noctua D15 and got it to 4,74GHz without a lot of tweaking. EDIT: I was running it in a Fractal Design Define S

Hello there... As I could not find much about the combination of a i7-6700K + a Noctua L9i, due to having both available, I am creating this Thread... So I paired the 6700K with a L9i and did some testing. I am currently testing in open air. This is my setup: Mainboard: Gigabyte Z170X gaming 7 eu CPU: i7-6700K CPU Cooler: Noctua L9i RAM: 1x Kingston 8GB 2133MHz + 1x Kingston 4GB 2133MHz GPU: internal Storage: KingDian S400 120GB PSU: techsolo TP730 Some information about my component choice: - RAM: just some cheap RAM I bought used, because the 8GB RAM didn't arrive after 1 Week, I got a 4GB Stick. The 8GB Stick arrived later, so now I use both. - PSU: had that one lying around - GPU: the Internal GPU will do for testing, on open air even a powerful GPU won't make a difference. - Storage: well, some cheap SSD from amazon - CPU + Mainboard: I have upgraded my main PC to a X299 Platform and now these are collecting dust I let every test run for about 30 minutes, because I think this is enough to saturate souch a small cooler. I tested the CPU with AIDA64 and Intel XTU. Keep in mind, AIDA64 stresses the CPU with 100% on all cores. This is a very unrealistic situation and might never happen in daily use. Intel XTU does not stress the CPU that much and I think it is a more realistic load. Here are my results: 4,0GHz Vcore = 1.35V: - AIDA64: 100°C max, 100°C avg - XTU: 77°C max, 69°C avg - idle: 32°C 3,5GHz Vcore = 1,24V: - AIDA64: 65°C max, 61°C avg - XTU: 59°C max, 54°C avg - idle: 30°C The ambient temperature was consistent 21°C. After seeing the AIDA64 Results, I decided to underclock the CPU to 3.5 just to see, what it would look like. I have been thinking about using these components as a media PC. If you know about a very small ATX Case for that mainboard, you can leave a comment (PSU size, and GPU compatibility doesn't matter, because I plan on using it with the internal GPU) I hope someone can use this information. Update 2017-10-22: I have now installed the System into my deskt and connected it to the TV. It is now in confined space, and I am running one Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200. The air is filtered, and I left all cooling settings at default. There is only a small exhaust in the back and the PSU is set up, to support the Airflow. Cables are not managed yet. I have attached a picture, so you can see, how it is installed. I ran each Stress-Test for about two hours and here are my temps: 3.5GHz Vcore = 1.17V: - AIDA64: 63°C max, 58°C avg - XTU: 60°C max, 54°C avg - idle: 34°C I think I will keep this setup as it is. (after doing some cable management) Update 2017-10-22: Today I reset the clock speed to the default while keeping the lower voltage setting and even going lower. Here are my results: 4.0GHz Vcore = 1.19V: - AIDA64: 69°C max, 64°C avg - XTU: 63°C max, 58°C avg - idle: not measured 4.0GHz Vcore = 1,14V: - AIDA64: 65°C max, 58°C avg - XTU: not tested - idle: not measured I have done no tests on 3.5GHz with the 1.14V setting, but I decided that I will use this setting.

Nice, I have the same Soldering Iron, this one is very useful, as it can be used for more than just soldering. It is not the fastest with heating up, but it works very well for its price. I also like this one more than the one I have with a cable, as this one is wireless. I can recommend it to people who don't have a permanent place to put ther soldering station and don't like cables on your desk. Regards, Robin

Thanks thats is very Informative. I will look at the prices. Soldering iron check Wire cutters check Cables shouldn't be a problem because i can use overlengths from work. Lighters, like 70% of people in austria are smokers, so i will have a lighter available... Heatshrink i get at work. So i will need sleeving, the connectors. Thanks for the info.

Hallo, I recently got myself a BenQ XR3501 and I would like to mount it to a Monitor Arm together with my second monitor. Sadly I couldn't find anywhere to get the Vesa Conversion Kit for this Monitor in my Region and contacting BenQ also didn't yield anything. So now,I would like to know if anyone here has found a solution to that. Maybe someone has got Scematics for that kit. I have access to a 3D Printer or I could build one out of Metal. It would save me some time if someone here has something on this. Thanks already. Sorry for any bad english. Regards, Robin

Thanks for that suggestion. I already started thinking of this, considering the cost of the material, and the time it would consumme. Regards, Robin

thank you for the quick replies. I will look into this, but looking at the price, I might even buy sleeved cables.

What do you want to display it for? 1. If you have LEDs and other Lights in your PC, you should take pics/video while your PC is on. If you have no LEDs, it doesn't really matter. 2. Do you want to show off your complete Setup or just the PC? YES: turn it on and show some really nice wallpapers matching your Room/Setup NO: refer to 1. 3. Making pictures/video depends on where you want to display your machine. YOUTUBE: definitly viedo YOUR WEBSITE: Pictures & Video, many Pictures Use different perspectives 4. If you make a video, consider switching your PC on. Regards, Robin

Hello, I would like to sleeve the cables for my computer. I have a Seasonic 660p Platinum PSU. So some quick questions: 1. What do I need 2. How are the pins in the attached Image called? (maybe also in German) 3. Where can I get this Stuff? (I am from Austria) Pins, Plugs, Pliers for Pins, Sleeving 4. What is the approximate cost for sleeving myself a kit consisting of: - 1 x 24 Pin ATX - 1 x 8 Pin EPS/CPU - 1 x 8 Pin PCIe - 1 x 6 Pin PCIe - 1 x SATA Power for 4 Sata Devices (2 x SSD, 1 x Hue+, 1 x Fanhub of Define S) Cables aren't a problem, as I already have a whole lot of 1,5mm² flexible cables. Thank you and Regards, Robin Also sorry for any bad english...

Here is a short Status Update: For some Time I was using a Noctua D15. Now I replaced it with the Corsair H110i GT from my brothers PC. He isn't using it very often, so I gave him the D15. I also got a NZXT Hue+.

wow, that was quick, thank you :-) EDIT: The keyboard arrived last week on wednesday. I had some time to test it and I can control spotify and VLC with the media keys while ingame. - closed -

Hello, I want to order a Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB. I am not so much a fan of Corsair peripherals because they are a little expensive for my taste. I would like to order that keyboard, because it is not as wide as my current keyboard the Steelseries Apex, which I own for more than two years now. Also I want to get a keyboard with mechanical switches. So I said, f*** it, I'll get the Corsair one with these Cherry MX Speed switches. So here is my question: I use spotify and foobar2000 for listening to music while gaming. With my Steelseries Apex I can use the media Keys (Play/Pause, Next Song, Last Song, Vol+/-) while in game. Does this also work with the Media Keys of the K70? Does anyone have some experiences with the corsair Software? Sorry for any bad english, I hope i didn't make any major mistakes (spelling/grammar). Already thanks to the LTT community. Robolon

I think, that I'll use the leftover LED strip pieces I have at home at the beginning. These have 5050 LEDs on them. I also have some very powerful 5mm LEDs at home. Maybe I will assemble somthing out of these. Later i might get the NZXT hue+.
