Hyper 212, its the cheapest and best option for lga1366... it fits nearly everything
-
It should just be your standard Atx motherboard, its a very common size, so allot of cases accept it! ^,...,^

Well Welcome to the forum Fehya! And intel has allot of good older cpu's for under 100$ a Xeon x5670 or x5680 can be found for well under 100$ (I got my x5670 for 43$) and those old x58 motherboards are solid overclockers, and being a 6 core 12 thread server cpu they can handle a load very well, But to keep up with the latest games and resolutions overclocking them is a good choice. these cpu's use the lga1366 socket and usually run ddr3 ram @1333mhz Even some older i7 cpu's can be really good. but its hard to beat a xeons price PS: I love the profile pic :3

Help Me Make a Gaming Server Rig
Fluffy Zyox replied to HAWKEYE141100's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
As for problems you might run into, the possibilities are endless, you could get anything from hackers and viruses to broken servers or even just poor ping/ hosting And each game will have its own server software, also servers tend to run operating systems like windows server that you might need to learn about. you will also need to learn about routers, firewalls/ data centers it all depends on how far you want to go and how secure you want to be. My knowledge is not much on this, other then the basics -
Help Me Make a Gaming Server Rig
Fluffy Zyox replied to HAWKEYE141100's topic in Servers, NAS, and Home Lab
Id check out some dual socket Xeon 1366 motherboards, or even just older servers that are already built, the more cores and threads help, id recommend something at around 3ghz but the higher the better! You will need good internet if you going to do this tho And servers can always get donations from the dedicated, or even paid roles etc~ -
Id honestly take any overclock off that you have, and try without it
-
hmmm that would be pretty hard to mix up~ If you did overclock it a small amount it would run ok. but if you overclock it enough you would just fry it. if it didn't fry it would make your temps go threw the roof. It would also result in super poor performance probably worse then what your getting now, but you would hear your fans screaming at you if it was throttling that hard to give you bad fps (Unless you set the fan curve to a set amount and as it heats up instead of speeding the fans up it throttles and reduces the cards speed?) Will need those temps before we can rule out thermal throttling. and I doubt you mixed the overclocking up, that's 2 different sets of software to overclock them
-
Aye sounds good, those temps are quite important for gpu performance Just quote me or something if you wanna talk to me again! But im sure allot of others have new ideas and are willing to help~
-
Im assuming that's 75 on the cpu? What about the gpu?
-
Good good, with those out of the way it gets harder to think of things that would do that. You should have allot more Gpu usage then that. she should be rocking like 30-100% in games ^ was just going to ask this. temperature throttling will tone your card right down to nothing Now that I think of it, I have actually had a problem like that before, for whatever reason some software glitch would shut off my fans, she got up to like 90c by the time I noticed why games where running 30fps on the lowest settings
-
I see! no onboard graphics ruled that out, im not very knowledgeable on amd cpu's And on high @1440p I can make games drop down to 30fps with a 980ti x3 It depends on what game he is running.
-
This almost seems like a Cpu bottleneck but you should be getting more then 40fps and if it where a gpu bottleneck she would be at 100% all day long in games. also im pretty sure that cpu can max out a gtx 1060 Now some probably dumb looking questions for you~ Are you using Geforce experience to download your drivers? Are you using the video out on the actual gpu instead of the video out on your motherboard? Does your motherboard have more then 1 pcie slot? (the slot your gpu fits into) Are you running your ram in the proper slot for your motherboard? Also what games are you trying to play? I don't think a 1060 will play some modern games on medium at 60fps (Depending on your screen size) but you would have to see what your cpu and gpu% are running at while playing
-
more cores or more threads?
Fluffy Zyox replied to shooter2749's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Id go with whatever has a higher clock speed, To give you an idea my 4 core 8 thred Skylake i7-6700k at 4.2ghz beats my 12 core 24 thread xeon build at 3ghz in games. quite noticeably. even using the exact same gpu in both builds.
