i5 6600K Overclocking
I did a little overclocking on my system, (CPUZ Validation link) http://valid.x86.fr/xnhzi3
My i5 6600K is at 4.68ish GHz on 1.31v
I also played around with my ram speeds and managed a stable 2300MHz and did a comparison test at different speeds using MaxxMem as shown below
-
the ds cube from aerocool is so beautiful and a heap of fun to build in and due to the orientation of the tray, so damn roomy...
-
I just finished my i5 6600K build and it so happens to ne in the orange and black ltt colours so here i am sharing a pic. sorry about the poor quality photo. https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/itzallama/saved/2gv23C theres a link to all my parts

IT IS ALIVE!!!!!!
-
i managed to source a cheap Asus R7 370 second hand, i now have 4GB of ddr2 ram and im going to put my system into a temporary case
-
at least i can do a decent overclock on the cpu as it will be watercooled
-
its decent speed if i wanted better brand new at that storage side im looking closer to double the price
-
yeah but the price for performance storage mass is great for the price and i can re use it in my build following over the next year or so
-
I now have a plan of action for my build, i need to remove the old mac stand offs and alter the rear of the case to fit my IO plate for my asus board, then i am going to clean it up and apply a etch primer and spray paint it matte black, then fit all my hardware. i have tested my board and cpu and they check out fine and i have looked at a baseline price for some components on nz.pcpart picker.com (http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/D7nh6h) i am yet to decide my memory or graphics card but there is plenty of time for that.
-
thing is ram is more asily sourced second hand than a i5 cpu
-
cpu boss is a general spec as far a performance specs go it is relatively reliable and i have had no problems in the past with it an its been on the mark or not far off with my builds an upgrades
-
its so worth is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117561 http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-FX-8350 thats the i5 6600K vs your cpu theyre relatively cheap youd need to source a motherboard with a socket that supports it which isnt too hard

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4690K on paper the 4690K is better it jsut depends if youll be overclocking or not and what the intention of the build is, i personally would go for the 4690K for better quality response for the MAC OS

cheers man ill se what weve got in the new zealand market
-
Yeah if it came down to it i will run the graphics card of a secondary psu, but i am after basic gaming performance
