    Not needed, an i7 8700 would be better anyways
     
    9th gen CPUs from intel are coming soon enough, his CPU will be fine until then, or possible even until Ryzen 3000 early next year.

    I have kraken x62 with i5 8600k @ 5Ghz
     
    My temp nvr reach 70*C on full load.
     
    Gaming wise, it stays well under 60

    i5-8600k or i7-8700k?

    Either way, it is a solid AIO, GamersNexus gave it the title of best performance-to-noise AIO if I remember right

    G0rg3us_fr33man reacted to S2000Gan in System Update: Watercooling! "Project R"   
    Hello again everyone. 
    I recently got some parts to build my first watercooling loop!
    Unfortunately, my Lian Li Lancool K63 is not really designed to mount much other than 140mm fans...
    So I picked up a new Fractal Design Define R6.
    My plan is to keep my Black/Red build but now It'll be in a white case! 

    Why the switch to a white case? I'm going for a "Type R" styled theme.
    Once I get the system built and running I plan on picking up a Red Honda badge and a Type R badge for fun and putting those in there somewhere. After seeing some pictures of systems in white cases I've decided I'm going to avoid putting a bunch of red LED stuff in the computer because I'm not a big fan of how all the white surfaces reflect the red light into kind of a pink-ish-ness. Instead I'll be sticking with the white LEDs in the reservoir and CPU waterblock and potentially adding a white LED strip if I think it needs more lighting.
    I'll probably keep the green GEFORCE GTX on for fun, although we will see how the LEDs on the Ballistix Tactical Tracer RAM look and whether or not I end up having those LEDs on since they can only be Green or Red on the ones I have.

    I'm still running my 2500K although I'm interested in seeing if the water cooling (especially on the VRM) helps my temps enough to lower the voltages I use for my current overclock. I'll probably end up taking this whole computer apart and replacing the current platform if the 9900K and 9700K really end up being 8 core CPUs (which kinda of makes the Gene-Z VRM waterblock seem like a waste, but hey I got it on clearance for really cheap. Also while I love the GTX 770 I have (Thanks EVGA for making a Titan cooler version at the community's request!), I am probably going to upgrade it when the 1180 finally releases (possibly a Hydro Copper version? Or if not at least a Hybrid?)

    For now it's just soft tubing although I would like to do rigid tubing at some point. I've bent PETG before (Thanks to BS Mods for coming to LTX 2017 and 2018) so its really just a matter of building up enough funds to spend on all the stuff I need for that. Probably wont happen for a while. Priority is saving up money to upgrade the platform (CPU/Board/RAM) and graphics card.

    Anyway, here are some pics of my system in my old case, and what it looks like at the moment!

    I'm considering getting a 750W PSU instead of the 650. Again haven't built it yet but looking to get some feedback on my first desktop and build, just don't want to get anything wrong or not account for something. I'll do some overclocking. Ima noob at building...

    A 1070ti is honestly plenty for VR, especially paired with an i5-8600.

    If you are sticking with the X62 cpu cooler and Z370 motherboard, you may as well get the i5-8600K.

    With Intel cpu these days overclocking can produce a decent performance improvement, but usually not more than ~15%.

    G0rg3us_fr33man reacted to thedude4bides in Rate my PC-Building draft   
    Maybe I got lucky but my 8600k is stable at 4.9ghz on all cores with a simple multiplier tweak.  Temps on an air cooler never get above 70C.  It is a very good bump in performance over stock.
     
    That said, if you don't go with an unlocked K processor, a Z-series mobo is more than you need.
