Hello guys, In my country the price difference between 10700KF and 5600X is quite negligable (Disregard the small price hikes in Motherboards as I would go for high end one anyway.) so, which of these two would you suggest for Games/Streaming/Very occasional video editing? (10900K/KF and 5800X are currently in price range of each other and about 20% more expensive than the aforementioned). As for GPU (as a factror) I Currently have GTX 1080Ti and I am planning on upgrade in somewhat near future probably to 30X0 (we'll see if Radeons change their performance in ray tracing and/or have very good price/performance ratio). Also I am 1440p/144hz with no intention of changing that anytime soon. Any advice appreciated guys, Thanks!

Hi Guys, I've had this old Lenovo y510p laptop for quite some time now and it's wear begins to show. I did use it as a "powerhouse" back when I was in college and having a desktop didn't really make much sense for me. I no longer really use it and the only thing that it is actively being used for is playing some older/less demanding games by my girlfriend. Unfortunately some latest updates either from Nvidia or Microsoft, or perhaps both, started causing GPU driver crashes while playing DX11 games. I tried several ways to fix that, but that's a different topic. In the end, nothing really works great. Therefore since the CPU on this laptop is not soldered to the motherboard, I started wondering, whether custom motherboard of some kind exists. Fortunately something like that was manufactured by ASRock https://www.asrockind.com/overview.asp?Model=IMB-180#CPU then on the other hand, 4700MQ is not listed on the supported CPU list. I have no idea why. All his "cousins" are there and I only assume it might be working, but I am not willing to take that shot before I know for certain. There are some other options regarding motherboards on aliexpress and ebay from absolutely unknown Chinese brands which I trust to much lesser degree therefore I'd like to try this if possible. I feel like this CPU might do some additional work and therefore I'd like o keep it and perhaps creates this "Laptop -> Desktop mod" possibly with custom case etc. 1/ Does anybody have some experience with something similar? 2/ Will the CPU work with this ASRock MB? 3/ There are usually PCIe (16) slots on those motherboards, will it work with any dedicated GPU? ADD: 4/ What about power supply for such system, how should it be properly calculated? What do you guys think? Do you have any advice for me? Thanks.

So, to actually close this topic. In the end I was able to purchase newer version of G910 (the spectrum one) as well. + It was even at sales for lover price so I couldn't really hesitate. As you stated before the newer version got rid of those goddamn keycaps and has better palm rest. The Keyboard quality is overall perfect! it's also heavy as brick Couldn't be happier. Also a quick fun fact - you can just drag and drop macros from your old G keyboards onto the new one with logitech's software. Since I had some several really complicated one's I was really happy about this feature

Hi, I'd would totally be interested in some custom made case. What I am not so certain is whether you have the proper equipment and knowledge to make such custom wooden case safe though. As you are certainly aware it is not really simple matter to make electronics equipment from flammable material.

It seems to me like only one audio output from your pc is possible, and computer somewhat messes whether it should lead into Display port or the other audio you have connected to your monitor. What I am not really sure from your post is the way you bridge audio from your monitor to your surround system. Do you have the classic audio RCA with several cinches? (6 is minimum for 5.1 audio) Else if the audio that leads into your monitor is one jack/cinch you are not even capable to get 5.1 working (that might cause the issues). Displayport should be enough to carry 1080p + 5.1 audio though

If you have additional computer on your hands I would follow https://askubuntu.com/questions/639325/deleted-ubuntu-partition-and-cant-access-windows-anymore and create windows "recovery" usb or plug in linux live and give GRUB instructions where to find windows bootloader. In any case you will probably need second computer to progress

Try simply exitting grub. Type "exit" in the command line. Also its quite possible that both win bootloader and grub will ve visible within your UEFI, si just switch their position.

Yeah, you have unlicensed OS, which is not covered by certain updates, etc. Windows 10 is not freeware, If you want to use it. Buy it. Regarding the drive you are right. I totally forgot how slow they are. I am not even sure about the max burning speed. was it 16x times 1,.. Mb? Can't really recall now. My last statement does make sense if you accept that ASrock might simply be budget friendly but with lacking quality. Just a small scour through the internet forums will suggest that and so will my personal experience with it.

Yeah, so did Windows xp until they decided to simply lock some unlicensed devices back in the days. Having illegal OS is simply something you should not suggest anywhere. That might be a valid argument but usb drive will be noticeable slower unless he wants to spend more cash than necessary. Overall quality of ASrock products was never of great value.

From what I recall, SSD should slow dramatically when it's near full capacity, unless that is your case I would consider checking your drive with some SSD performance tool such as Crystal Disk.

I disagree with ryzen in this case. Carz clearly aims for one monitor only and said beforehand that he wants computer mainly for gaming. I don't really suppose any real multi-tasking will be bothering him. Also not having a valid license for OS is really not a good idea.. If he need optical drive why would usb one be better idea? ASrock products are really not something I would suggest to anyone.

Personally I like K processors more as I have feeling about them being a bit more future-proof. On the other hand spending 80$ might not be worthy of getting 8600K. I am not really sure about optical drive/speaker usefulness at this point in time. Having a small SSD for OS would be a huge boost for your device (depending on the budget). Don't really aim for the cheapest peripherals as they can easily ruin the whole experience of gaming. You could possibly do better when it comes to RAM frequency! Stock CPU cooler is not really best for gaming! I am not really sure whether you can't save few bucks on the case or get yourself soundproofed one rather than transparent one as there is literally nothing to be amazed by in your case, except maybe for small led on motherboard and gpu which I think are not really worth it.

Must be a MELTDOWN then!! Quick, put your computer in the freezer and pray for forgiveness! Now with all seriousness, unless you give some details regarding ram/cpu/hdd usage there is no way for anybody to even remotely help you. Check your task manager CTRL+SHIFT+DELETE in case you are using windows. In case you are on mac or linux. I suppose free -m and top/ps should give away decent info. Also you might want to check size/space of your swap. In any case look for anything chipping huge chunks of ram/cpu usage + full hdd might be a reason for computer slowdown as well (especially in case of pending update). So clear up some space from your OS partition.

You mean the hub controller for them? Also if I place radiator in the front, what should I do about fan slots on the top of the case? (intake/outtake)

Hello LTTers! Recently a need to get myself a second computer boiled to the surface as my fiancé's computer literally boiled (:D shit happens!). As I was hungry for an update, nothing marginal really happened. This time around I am interested in slight change though! Up to this point in my life I was always having air cooling and was fine with it, albeit a bit noisy at times. Nonetheless, I want a liquid cooling this time! I was unable to locate any kind of comparison anywhere on the internet, maybe I just suck at searching or perhaps the term "temp comparison between air cooler and liquid cooler" is really not the right one ;D My general intent is to purchase 8600K, overclock it on some stable value (nothing super high) and use it as daily driver for gaming, programing, watching streams and streaming myself from time to time. My old CPU was 6600K @ 4,5Ghz. With Noctua UH14S (double fan + tunnel). General temps were around 27°C with no load & somewhere underneath 70°C even with synthetic load (using prime95). Now, I was personally think that Noctua UH14S should be fine with 8600K even decently clocked but I want to leave that cooler in my old computer + my new one should have transparent side panel, which means RGB!! So some ugly brown fan would not really be a big hit this time. I don't really intend to build custom loop and only CPU will be liquid cooled, so I don't supposed huge improvement in terms of loudness. What I want to be certain is that I have good water cooler at least at my former one's level. As I was scouring through the internet, I was able to find out a lot of people suggest to use NZXT Kraken x62, is that good enough choice or should I go for something larger? Also fan replacement for NZXT Aer RGB 140 would be necessity! Also I have no proper knowledge how to place fans in computer with liquid cooling. I wanted some "basic" case such as Fractal Design Focus G but I really have no clue where to place fans correctly. should I place the radiator in the front, so it doubles as intake? (I don't think that is correct!) The maybe on the top of the case? & does it even fit there? I want proper airflow, so I am straight away asking for help from someone more experienced that me, in that matter. You might also ask why I pick such plain looking case, but I actually want the fans to be somewhat visible even from the front but since I live in a old house, dust gathers quite fast here so filters are basic equipment here. I don't dwell on the case though. Thanks for your help guys!
