Those games suck. WTF?

The Maximus Formula out of what I've seen.

Q9400 if you need quad or E8500 if you need single threaded performance. I wouldn't consider anything less for the prices these go for.

Mmmmm, 16 cores and low watts.  I kind of want one to see if I can rock it 24/7 for some BOINC.    Especially do some comparisons to my E5-2670-V3 at BOINC tasks.

 

Wait a minute, does that Gigabyte have fiber port spots if I am seeing right!?   Looks down, o my, it does have two SFPs!

I'd go with the $600 16-core EPYC and the $600 Gigabyte board then call it a day. Not as power friendly for sure doe.

Your wants are my do not wants and your do not wants are my wants wow haha.

I want actual heatpipes and fin heatsinks made out of copper. Higher quality components.

The Oled post displays recently are quite nice.

5.6Ghz on the Pentium K but no 46 or4790K yet.

I think that was on my top 10 hardest games for 5YO. Seriously, what child is going to know half of the stuff that game wanted you to know?

We thought it was the sequel to Super Mario World so you can understand the disappointment we got for our combined $3.

I'm using a $500 cooler on a Pentium I got for $30 in the other room right now

Naw. I remember renting Mario's Time machine with my friend and still have flashbacks. Ew

800W through the cables is pretty damn impressive. Best max power I've done is 1156W in which is probably 1000W+ out on my 850 G2. 

 

I've two more GTX 480s on the way to do 3 Way benching. Can't wait for PSU to explode  

 

I see that you too have a 1000mm+ rad. Excellent choice. 

You might need an Iwaki pump and a bathtub full of ice water

Still have an issue with wasting ln2 though, but I remember seeing it.

Cascade phase change would be my choice for this kind of thing. Then you're wasting electricity with the cost possibly equal to losing 100% of the ln2 though.

I knew about them but they never actually have any in stock. Plus they haven't shown what kind of life cycle they have (that I'm aware of).

I'd rather have a manual loop

I blame Apple. Children can actually navigate iOS without having to learn something so they begin to believe that they're techno-wizards or something.

It's not ridiculous at all.

 

My point has nothing to do with the current use case of an LN2 cooling solution or an insinuation that one should be invested in the extreme overclocking world.

 

I love how this whole argument started from the complete discrimination of LN2 overclocking (not newsworthy) and that idea is just dismissed and as soon as I defend it's importance as a staple of the computer enthusiast community.

 

I have no problem agreeing that "tech enthusiast" may be too broad, computer enthusiast is more accurate. I'm not talking about caring about a certain aspect, I'm criticizing the dismissal. 

 

I guess it is 2017 so we have to pander to people and let them label themselves sports car enthusiasts even though they dismiss a Bugatti Veyron on a drag strip because it's not practical.

The younger generation on the internet instantly and aggressively shouts down anything they don't take part in or don't understand.

I blame the teachers and educational institutions as a whole

Prb if he tried disabling unpopulated PCIE slots.

Everything. NICs, sata ports, S.M.A.R.T., boot from USB, multiple devices selected in boot order.

The more complicated the board/chipset, the longer it will take to post. Go into the BIOS and disable everything you're not using. 

Z97's M.2 slot is slow.. nvme drives won't run anywhere near their rated speed.

Most mainstream platform boards don't have 7 pcie slots because of available pcie lanes, even my Z97 Classified with PLX chip for 4-way SLI/Crossfire only has 6. The only one I know of is the ASUS WS board and not all of those are full x16 size slots.

Lol my dudes, my Kingpin CPU pot was $110.

We get it, you think overclocking is lame but video games are awesome.

Alls yalls h8rz slow AF

Up your game little boi.

Used E5-2683 v3 (OEM/Retail) is the best deal IMO.

They run 36 cores at 3.6GHz for $700.  Do want.  What is the exact chip? 

Its 2 E5-2699 v3

Edit: damn.

I don't have any Q6600 but here's this 

Would you spend more than $150 on a board that was decked out with quality features but styled after the signature styles of time periods in the past?
