  1. You should dismantle it. Pop rivets are very easy to take out and replace. Also I'd at 2cans would cover it. Why not use paint? More/better colors and finishes to choose from also much cheaper
  2. 3.7ghz is Intel's boost speed, setting it to always turbo does not effect it's certification In the first video when he says the core series is inherently better at gaming h followed buy this isn't true. Did you skip over that? You were just saying an I5 is better because it has the same cores on the same socket with almost the same clock speed and less threads is better then the less expensive Xeon which has the same corea same socket almost same clock speed and more threads
  3. You "can" but it isn't certified to handle a work load for that long like a Xeon is
  4. It's still taking space on the die on or off, with out it the cpu has more surface area to transfer heat. I know cpu frequency is even far more important with piledriver cores then with intel. Which is why I'm saying there Is no way a .5ghz difference can change it by 20fps. A 1.2ghz difference doesn't even do that on a architecture where ghz is much more important
  5. Okay but why pay more for a cpu that doesn't have it? You'll get the boost of it in ones that do and almost no difference in ones that don't.
  6. The Xeon produces much less heat seeing as it doesn't have intergrated graphics. 10-20fps? The 1.2ghz difference from a 8350-9590 doesn't even make that much of a impact
  7. Xeon e3-1230v3=I7 4770 but instead of 3.4ghx w/ 3.8 turbo it's 3.3 and 3.7. The Xeon also has support for ecc ram 24/7 operation and is much cheaper
  8. Okay 240$ I5 + 40$ cooler = I'd say 4.2ghz is a fair average, or 200$ xeon with double the threads= 3.7ghz(that just locking the turbo which stock cooler can handle as it has no integrated graphics). Is the difference in single core games of probably less then 5fps worth the 80$? And is the loss of performance in multi threaded games worth 80$
  9. If you want the same cores and half the threads for 40$ more. But dint forget the integrated graphics you will never use.
  10. They have the same cores. A 4690 has a base of 3.4ghz while the Xeon 1230 is 3.3ghz. What's that gonna equal? A .1fos drop in games not supporting ht? And a larger gain in ones supporting it?
  11. Will the partial ghz really make a difference? The 8350 vs 9590 is an example of it being mostly irrelevant
  12. If stability is concerning to you then you don't oc. Another reason why the Xeon is useful it's rated for 24/7 operation.
  13. What are you trying to say with that? Most people don't over clock and of the ones that do don't go past 4.2ghz only .2ghz what you can get in the xeons
  14. It's the exact same cores as the I7 4770, so how is that point valid? It's not like it's a 12 core cpu on a different socket.
  15. An enthusiast is judged by there gear, it's about how they treat it and what they know about it. Gamers just want there gear to work so they can play the games the best they can How are they not good for gaming? If a i7 4790 is great for gaming how can that change when the name changes? Also a potato is a good Photoshop rig
  16. Okay? You must not be as knowledgeable as you think of that's the only way of over clocking you know of.
  17. Are they purely gamers or are they also enthusiasts? I feel the majority of gamers don't have the knowledge to do it on there own. Also you can get these xeons to about 4ghz
  18. You do know you can still oc this cpu right? Only a enthusiast would take a i5 past what you can do with the Xeon
  19. Gamers don't use onboard so that seems irrelevant to being worse for gamers. Also it is not gamers who oc it's enthusiasts. Every friend if mine, have be it I am a teenager, does not over clock there k cpu. They just got it because people on tech forums told them toEdit: didn't slick say he doesn't even have an oc his cpu any more? And what difference does the extra .4 mhz actually make?
  20. How so? Almost the exact same core clock, and extra threads? How many people who buy a unlocked cpu actually overclock it tho? Do people actually use integrated graphics?
  21. Can some one give me some info on why people don't buy Xeon e3 1230v3's? Seems like a great alternative I7 4790 but cheaper then a I5 4690. I've seen them for 150$ on eBay.
