    i5 6600k question

    in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory

    Posted

    I've been thinking of selling my i5 3570k and my motherboard/ram to my little brother and then buying an i5 6600k, some ddr4 ram and a new mobo but i'm not sure which motherboard to get, or if i should even get an i5 6600k since there probably isn't much of a performance difference in gaming?

     

    Can you guys recommend a solid motherboard to go with the 6600k ( i'll be overclocking ) (or even recommend something else)  Price isn't really an issue (try not to go super overboard though just some shit that works well by spending a few hundred dollars like $550-650 Canadian is a good starting point idk) and   i just want an i5 since i only game and play the more demanding games and new releases  

     

    rest of my specs are gtx 980 ti,  750w seasonic gold  and 1tb ssd 

     

    the reason to doing this upgrade is mostly to help out my brother get some cheaper parts of mine

    Need help with some device that goes on my ears pls

    Hi sweethearts (^:   I Have the audio-Technica Mx50's and I would like to hear some better options i have for headphones that offer more bass , some more b00m than these ones you feel me? So if you attractive people could point out some over-ear headphones that have more of a punch/bass to them that are  no more than $300 Canadian I would really appreciate that.  

    How do you change cpu fan speeds?

    Ok no issues hardware wise.

    You just need to be able to set it to manual, make sure you click the button on the type right that signifies whether it is pwm or not. Regardless of if done in BIOS, or if you use @brob 's suggestion, make sure you select that pwm, otherwise it will try to control speed through voltage, which can damage those noctuas.

    If you want to control your fan speeds, just change the setting from Turbo to Manual.

    Oh I found it! Which ones should I change

     

    edit : i put the bottom two values to like 50, hopefully stuff doesnt explode

    It should be in the bios somewhere, but more so it depends on what sort of fans you have and if the fan connections are pwm or not. If you are using 3 pin fans, you either should get pwm (4-pin) fans, or get a fan controller.

    According to the information, you should be able to monitor and adjust. But look into your fan types and connections.

    PCI slot deadarino?

    you power off, turn psu off, unplug then take out the cmos battery for 5-10 seconds put it back in power on to test. The cmos battery looks like a watch battery

     

     

    Easiest way to reset is searching for a button battery on your motherboard, taking that out and pull out the power cord, wait a couple of seconds, put the cord back in the psu and try to boot, it will complain, but that's normal, try the second slot first, if it works, switch to the first slot.

     

    If it works, or it doesn't, you can put the battery back, of course only do it when the pc is off.

    Hey I found this while I was looking through some stuff, could it be the reason my pci slot doesn't work? (I also haven't done the cmos thing yet as i'm lazy and been tight on time)

    You know shit doesn't break over night :D Perhaps some setting where done before you shutdown the pc last night.Try to reset the cmos and if that doesn't work next time you reinstall the windows try to put the gpu in first slot.Drivers could cause problems too

    knowing my luck, it does kek. But I only remember playing a few games and watching streams and then shutting down and going to bed. No idea how to clear cmos. I'm sure you'll explain it to me before I google it (^:

    I woke up this morning to find my monitors would show no images, nothing- nada. So I took my gpu out and put my monitor cable into my mobo and i got into windows fine. So i tired a different PCI slot with my gpu and it worked! So is my first pci slot now dead? or is something funky going on? I have a gtx 560 (waiting for my damn 980ti to come in mail) and an Asus p8 z77 v PRO mobo. i've had this motherboard for a few years now and zero problems up until this morning

    This asus 1440444040p monitor thing, is it a worthy purchase?

    Yeah I have that monitor, it's great :D

     

    I use it as a secondary monitor, and my ROG Swift is my primary.

     

     

    Its possibly the best for its price, so pretty damn good. There is a $720 144hz IPS g-sync one from acer which is better for gaming, but this is still great. There is also an asus one similar to that acer one, but it has freesync and costs $600.

    oi! boys! what about this one? it looks pretty nice too, them bezels
