Will I need a new backplate going from a LGA 1155 to 1151?
ploom replied to ploom's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
Okay sweet, so I shouldn't have to worry about getting a new water block or mount? -
Hey, I'm in the process of upgrading my system from 1155 to 1151 (ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA1155 to ASUS Maximum IX Hero) and was wondering if I will have any problems fitting my backplate/cooler onto my motherboard. I am currently using a koolance system, and I can't find any dimensions about 1155 to 1151. Any help would be appreciated!

All I'm really worried about is the performance, so paying less money for new ram that will perform more or less the same sounds good to me haha. I appreciate the help
-
hmm alright, wasn't sure if the extra price of the corsair memory was justified, since its like $250 new from corsair. Thanks!
-
might also be a silly question.. but new g.skill tridentz rgb 2x8gb 3200 for $172 or used corsair dominator platnium 4x4gb 3200 for $180?
-
well shit lol, seems i'll be getting the asus then. thanks buddy
-
oh shit yeah I definitely want to OC eventually since I have a custom loop, appreciate the help

Hey, Currently working on upgrading my motherboard because I have just purchased a i7 7700k. Looking for some motherboard options, not really trying to spend more than $180 whether it's new or used. I found the MSI board on newegg new for $129.99, and the asus board used for $170 on ebay. Is the extra money worth it for the asus board? I am running a gtx 1070 and will also be buying 16gb ddr4 ram, I just don't know much about motherboard specs and whatnot. Any help would be appreciated!

I was running around 300 fps with both the 670 and the 1070, I just booted an OC i'm at 4.66ghz and I got around a 60 fps gain give or take. Highest temps i got was 55c so we're good there.. I think that's the best i'll get without upgrading ram and cpu.

did you take a look at my benchmark? I has the specs of my ram on there
-
I have done this in NV control panel already for the program settings of CS:GO. I posted my video settings in my original post, and I have multicore rendering enabled already. you can see my ram and speed on the benchmark I posted
-
not sure... i understand that turbo freq is 3.9ghz but on my task manager it says max speed is 3.5ghz. I have a custom loop by koolance. 90F while playing cs
-
my cpu can be bottlenecking while the utilization never goes over 40%?
-
i'm confused.... you said 4.9ghz but you just edited it lol. My windows power settings is on high performance
-
did you read my post? lol I have a 3770K
