Hey, I was just wondering, with the decoupled blck in the z170 chipset, would it be possible to overclock an i3, a pentium, or even a celeron processor? Maybe even a non-k i5 or i7. The i3 chips would be much more attractive for budget builds if you could squeeze some more gigahertz out of them to help them equal some of the i5's power, and if you could save some money buying a non-k, low-end i5 and still get almost 4 ghz out of it in the end, Skylake would start to look much more enticing to me and possibly many other budget builders.

they wouldnt allow that because then no one would buy a I5

I've been shopping around for a new 400 dollar build, and I'm not quite sure how much CPU power I need.  I play basic games like Dota 2 and Town Of Salem.  I also do 3D modeling, as I own a 3D printer which I use for projects.  On this system, I will be running Xubuntu Linux 14.04, and will be supplied with 8 gb of RAM, as well as an R9 270X.  Any recommendations for a CPU?  

youd want a I5 if you can afford it. if not a I3

100% depends on the game

THIS GAME WAS MY XBOX CHILDHOOD.

Screw this. I'm driving 2 hours to my moms house to find my original xbox with this game

shipping errors do happen..

want more accurate (refundable) shipping use the guaranteed options at a

substantial price increase (1 or 2 day shipping) rather than ground option.

it is not just FedEx, my teespring LTT shirts went to kentucky twice, back to

dallas 8 times, to arizona three times and to arkansas (destination state) a

whopping 12 times. so using USPS isn't as great too. all have shipping

companies destination errors considering as they scan millions of parcels a

day and that just wasn't your day. and UPS isn't a saint either.

This ^ look up how much mail the usps moves everyday. It's mind boggling. Then remember there equipment is hardly designed for their flat rate boxes yet. It's all designed for mail.

Then also remember what you experienced, USPS biggest customer is ups. Why? Ups doesn't want to build buildings in tiny towns where they get a few packages a day at most. It's cheaper to pay USPS then send a truck.

listen man im not hating on smoking but with you being 16 im having time even calling you "man" but actually talk about smoking like its totally cool?...

im guessing this is not actually the attempt to find people like but to at least 50 % the cry fo attention. "oh look at me im smoking. im so cool and grown up"

again this is not a hate on amoking fyi i am too a smoker but i started very late and do it because of reasons. i dont know why but you remind me of that kid that had to make a video where he flashes a gun around to look cool and then accidentally fires it.

if you want to smoke at your age fine but dont shove it in other peoples faces. or do so in a vaping forum.

also:

im not usually on edge like that but tennage tryhards make me angry. also i appologize if i offended you im just trying to make a point. looking back i wish someone had told me to stop acting like an idiot when i was your age so i thought maybe you can learn from that and just dont brag about the "cool" things you do.

i mean what if you find someone here who also smokes. what are you gonna do interchange question about vaping. do that on a vaping forum.

so in conclusion: no hate hate meant - but stop "bragging" - it makes you look silly

Wtf, so people can "brag" about what car they own, but not a perfectly legal hobby that's far cheaper? Smoking and vaping are radically different. And he's for sure not shoving it in others faces. You went out of your way to go to this thread. So saying he's shoving it in your face is crazy to me.

OP: ignore these guys. I'm sure the 4 slices of pizza I had yesterday is worse for my body then any vaping you can do

I'd happily just physically fight

For sure! My fav gens go : 

 

1st Gen

SN-95

2015 (Not sure of the name) 

Foxbody 

(then the rest) 

My mom has owned:

1967 V8 Midnight Blue with Racing Stripes

1991 Foxbody V8, Red

1977 Mustang 2 I4 Green

 

She loved the first two, the mustang 2 on the other hand she hated

my dads had a hella lot of mustangs. its just been his life was mustangs. his FIRST car was a 1969 shelby gt500. had a car fire in just the engine bay/dash so got it dirt cheap. his buddy found another shelby with the Super cobra jet engine that was rear-ended and wrecked, so got the engine and parts out of that. kicking himself in the butt everyday that he sold it for 12K i believe, its incredible what they go for now. right now he as a 2012 GT/CS convertible. 

2015s are s550 I believe

Thanks! Foxbody's are an under-rated little 'stang! Those years produce more power than the early SN-95s with some light modifications those Foxbody's are sweet!  

mint yellow convt. fox for 1100 with rod knock, so new motor.

or, a gray 1987, 53K miles, t tops, full roll cage, minor engine mods, minor paint damage, for 1900. hum. T tops would be so sweet. 

lots of people look at foxes are are like "thats a mustang?!" lol. I love them though. my dad has owned every gen of mustangs at some point, hes had 4 foxes I believe. 

a coyote engine swap would be bad ass, that and a blower and your making stupid power

Wood frame, then glue large blocks of foam over if and carve

I love you read up on this. Considering buying a foxbody with a knocking motor

"im so mad my product does exactly what its rated for"

not the king of OC'ing, more like the king of overuse

Good point, didn't consider that since I don't watch cable television anymore.

yeah, I only noticed because I was going to let my buddy use my 27 inch monitor in his room for his xbox and stuff, but relizes he watches cable and it doesnt have a input for that.

and LOL @ your sig

43 inch "Monitor" right?

43"? It's a TV by that point...

my guess is no cable input. cutting costs because who would have this but not a cable box. but because it doesnt have a cable input, cant be called a "TV" 

my guess anyway

that's different

I mean higher end cards generally are built for high resolutions and not for 800x600

 

besides youtube is CPU bound like hell

that makes zero sense. a 980ti will get a higher frame rate at 800x600 then 4k. any time you move down in resolution, the frame rate will remain the same or increase unless some other variable changes. Please show a SINGLE reliable benchmark that shows otherwise. Hard to believe a GPU will get lower framerate with less load put on it.

OP, guessing there was something else that changed. can you run it again or try with a different game? 

Your GPU ain't made to play at 720p. It cripples itself badly there as a result.

that makes zero sense mate. 

"cant watch youtube videos, I bought a 980ti. better go throw in the GT 450"

what. theres no xbox simulators? so. um. elaborate please

if we could get more competion in the CPU market that would be wonderful. if this is a low power chip with support for that crazy networking stuff, thatd be sick for a second machine

how good does it have to be? putting a 400 watt load on this thing would be nothing. 80+ bronze and fully mod for 60$ is a steal even at 750 watts or below. 

Detriot is passed saving. its more of damage control

downtown is freaking beautiful. it's turning around man. 

Im up in flint now, so detroit looks heavenly in comparison lol. 

Yes i love the military and the people in it who serve. its the (corrupt) people whos in CHARGE thats the prolem.

LOL, its funny how people say money corrupts the government, yet big money and corporations are saving detroit right now. 

They're more likely to fail, I've experienced that myself and many people complain about it, had 3 Seagate Hard Drives in my life, two of them failed. Had 4 WD HDD's, no failures up-to-date.

I perfer WD because thats what I always used, but damn that sample size.....

call me maybe 

Everyone goes though a emo phase at 12-14.

Girls liked it at the time so had to
