  1. Does the Ryzen 7 1700x have Precision Boost and if it does will it work on a X470 or just a x370 I am about to do an upgrade and maybe getting the 1700x from a buddy for free when he upgrades but need to make sure ill be able to use my cpu to the fullest before hand before I buy a motherboard. I know PBO won't work on a x570 with the Ryzen 7 2700x from everything I can find so not sure about the 1700x.
  2. Recently ordered the MasterLiquid 120mm Lite AIO... I'm trying to find more information about this 120mm AIO does anyone use it that uses the FX 8320 or above? If so how well does it work out with overclocking and such? I HAD a Seidon 120v but it died on me so this is only my 2nd AIO ever. Specs: CPU: FX 8320 Mobo: MSI 970 Gamer Ram: 16gb Ripjaws Z Fans: Arctic F12 PWM Windows 10 Creator GPU: MSI RX 470 8gb Gaming X
  3. Thanks, I really had not considered a Twin Tower for some reason it was not even on my mind and had seen them in the past with the Noctua brands. I will add this to my wishlist and get it next month!
  4. I have considered using Zip ties yes, but decided just to get a new cooler. I am using Newegg and Jet.com but perfer Newegg when possible. I would like to try and spend no more the 40-50 if its an Air cooler... as I know anything above that really would probally be better off with a Liquid cooler which I have considered that as well but have been told in the long run the Air Coolers with my Thermaltake Versa H22 case would be best...and tend to work better then most 120mm AIO anyhow. As for Location in in Maine USA.
  5. As my upgrade didn't go as originally planned, I was stuck with getting the FX 8320 a upgrade none the less, my Seidon 120v however is not in good shape and can barley get the fans on cause of stripped holes... I was wondering what is the best Air Cooler that is not overly expensive for a FX 8320 + MSI 970 Gaming motherboard with a overclock of 4.5ghz at 1.432v. (I have it stable at this right now) I was looking at Be Quiet! and Cryorig but decided to get a 2nd opinion before making my newegg wishlist for next month when I upgrade my Fans & GPU...
  6. My TV/Monitor is 60 on the refresh rate.
  7. That DVD drive is a Blueray DVDRW.
  8. Recently decided to rebuild my PC, have been doing a ton of research on prices & parts so that I dont end up with another AMD APU. Well I wonder how this looks for gaming, as it looks great to me lol. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JjGrvV
  9. Anyone know the recomended requirements for static pressure for a 360mm radiator? I am looking at the Deepcool Captain 360 and 360EX for a future upgrade and plan to use the Ethoo Pro for the case.
  10. Asrock Z170A Pro4S is what im currently looking at
  11. Yep, the 6600k was just recomended as well by someone I have changed my build to work around with that for my future upgrade and the 1060 6gb.
  12. Thats the problem I was thinking of, how bad it might be. I have my A8 overclocked to 4.2ghz.
  13. Ok, so.. While I have been putting togeather my build for my upgrade im planning I got to thinking. I am considering instead of buying a RX 470 or 480 a GTX 1060 or 1070... which would mean I would have to save longer for the Intel parts for my upgrade as well... in the mean time I am running an A8-7670k Godavari on a ASUS A88X-Gamer with 16gb of ddr3 and a R3 Radeon SSD... would the 1060 or 1070 cause more problems then good if I got it first before upgrading this system? I am currently on my intergrated R7 7670k.
  14. Well if you do take the free returns your probally better off, you get options that allow you to bypass the free returns to make it cheaper as well. You also get options to pay by debit as well and make it cheaper there too. Returns on non-free returns cost 5.99 + 5% of the item price if you also pay by Debit and not Credit Card.
  15. They do, but as I just decided a few mins ago to swap the Gigabyte motherboard for the MSI H110M-A Gaming motherboard the MSI one kinda matchs it now lol.
  16. Well, I do have a R3 120gb SSD already if that helps any... I currently have a 1tb Seagate HD, 120gb R3 Radeon SSD, 500gb Toshiba Laptop HD all installed in my Current PC. I have the User files stored on the 500gb along with a few driver files for my current gpu stuff.
  17. I am currently in the process of leaving AMD for the first time sense I started building PC's as I decided I wanted to go Skylake this time around instead of waiting on Zen to mature in the market and benchmarks to pop up. I have only ever used there APU's in the past when it came to AMD. Compared to this: CPU: A8-7670k Mobo: ASUS A88X-Gamer Ram: Ripjaws Z 16gb 1866mhz GPU: Onboard R7 7670k (Extreme GPU Boosted with Liquid Cooling on the CPU) Will this work alot better? CPU: i5-6400 Mobo: Gigabyte H110M-A Ram: HyperX Fury 8gb(2x4gb) 2133 GPU: (Brand to be decided) RX 470 4gb Im not very familar with Intel products, but have been told rule of thumb is Intel > AMD. I had originally thought about the I3-6100 and a RX 470 8gb of RX 480 4gb...
  18. Recently decided im going to upgrade my pc using the I5 Skylake and 8gb of DDR4 HyperX Black. Now, Originally I had planned to get the I3 instead and a RX 480... but got told the i5 was a better choice, so that brings it down to which brand is best for the RX 470? I was looking at the MSI RX 470 4gb Gaming X but have also been told the Sapphire RX 470 tends to overclock better... what are some of your suggestions for the RX 470 brand wise? I found a place I can get this GPU MSI RX 470 Gaming X for less then $150 so before I go and do that I want to make sure im picking the right brand here.
  19. I am currently using an A8-7670k & ASUS A88X-Gamer in a Thermaltake Versa h22 case. My radiator on my Seidon 120v seems not to fit right, whats the best liquid cooler to use in this case? There is really no room at the top of the case or I would have put it up there... and with the way my motherboard is the top just barley can fit 2 fans wedged and rigged to the top as it stands. The back is pretty close to the same as I was able to put 2 screws into it and then had to put a fan into push and not pull it make it work. It was recomended trying to find a Asetek 550 Liquid cooler but there hard to find it seems.
  20. I found a GTX 1060 3gb EVGA for 175$ on Jet.com with extra savings the site is owned by Walmart.
  21. Witcher 3, SWTOR, ESO, I do own the new Hitman as well... I play a mix of MMO & Single player games... At some point I plan to get Deus Ex mankind devided as well.
  22. The decision is between a RX 470 4gb & SSD for my games or either the RX 480 or GTX 1060... The other part of it is, if I went the Radeon way of things 4gb or 8gb... and if I went the GTX way 3gb or 6gb... on a budget of about between $200 to $300.
  23. Thank you everyone, you have helped my decision alot on this. Almost everyone else I talked to before coming here said it would be to much of a bottleneck... its why I decided to hit the Linustech forums. Im now trying to decide between a RX 480 or the GTX 1060... lol
