what are you using to monitor clocks?

Yes it will.

This is a doozy. My monitor is a dell se2717hx The problem I'm having is difficult to explain with words. It's almost like the display is interlaced, and the signal is partially screwed. An upper section of the screen shows the bottom of the screen, and the bottom is smashed full of colors that should be displayed on the top of the screen. I suspect it's a power related issue. No warranty on it anymore. I've tried different 3 different hdmi cords, 3 different power cords, 3 different computers, and 4 different outlets. Upon taking it apart, no capacitors are blown and nothing looks fowl. Please help! Thanks

I'm pretty sure. Check this source out: https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Dell/LATITUDE~E5450/

I suppose that is so. the i7 still performs pretty darn good http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2822-amd-ryzen-r7-1800x-review-premiere-blender-fps-benchmarks/page-7

I ended up going for 4.7 ghz and i got it with 1.27v, and unstable at 1.265v. 4.8 doesn't seem to be achievable under 1.3v, too bad. Cpu-z reports 1.240v, it's always reported about 30mV low though. Unfortunately, it seems to have the IHS issue, jumping from 50 C to 80 C every few seconds.

What are your c-state settings? My 3570k can do much lower voltages (1.17 / 1.18 @ 4.5ghz) because I messed with them a little.

-- Are you planning on gaming? if so, the i7 7700k is better and cheaper. to save even more, the i5 7600k is cheaper and basically as good in games as the i7. (not trying to be an intel fanboy, it's just the truth) if you were to get either of those cpus, I'd recommend a z270 motherboard. This isn't a necessary switch, however. if you'd rather stick with amd, the 1700 is a far greater value with effectively the same performance. the motherboard would be better suited to overclock if you go with the x370 chipset instead. If you live near a micro center, it's worth it to drive there and get your cpu. they sell them for less than MSRP. it's crazy. -- gpu looks fine, maybe a little underpowered considering the cpu. ram is fine, amd will benefit from faster ram however. psu is shady, evga 500B/600B would be fine and they're both solid psus. you can save some money on the ssd by going with basically anyone else, but the general consensus around here is that samsung ssds are the way to go. m.2 ssds are also significantly faster. A case only has to be as big as the motherboard (unless it's an ITX build), but can be larger. Mini ITX, micro ATX, and full ATX (smallest to largest) are really all you can find in terms of motherboards nowadays. Looks may or may not be a big deal to you, and case decision is the most subjective part of your PC build. My recommendation is fractal design's core series cases - budget-friendly, sturdy, and a dream to build in considering the cost. There are a lot of bad case manufacturers out there, watch out for that and look at reviews before you buy. The CPU cooler should be either a tower or a liquid AIO system at your budget. Liquid coolers generally perform better and fit in more cases. Tower coolers can be less expensive and are generally quieter. As for fans, you don't have to worry about buying extras.

Use the old intro, then have the slogan be #tbt

Yeah, it's never worked out too well for me. It says I need to insert a flash drive or something but it doesn't ever save.

I'm looking for a little insight to get the absolute most out of my OC. My 3570k has been steady at 4.5ghz at a cool 1.17-1.18v for about 3 and a half years now. Just doing a bit of maintenance, and trying to see if I can get a little more speed without sacrificing too much stability.

I can't wait for @LinusTech's reaction to the name. What a disaster of a marketing team.

ah, front panel connectors - they're always so tedious. It should be near the middle on the very bottom of your board, check your manual for the layout the power and reset headers don't matter which way you put it in (+,-).
