    So the highest temp you got is 199F....convert that to Celsius and it's about 92C-93C That is a bit high for my personal taste

    S2PV seems to support more legacy hardware as it has a serial port on the rear I/O and PCI lanes instead of PCIe x1 lanes that's on the A model

    Honestly, it's up to you and how you have your set up If you have the space and money, sure the larger screen, otherwise if your limited in space and money, smaller display won't hurt much

    Screen size, and different material/stand

    Noiseblocker NB-eLoops (Own 140mm version of it and it is amazing) Noctua NF-F12 (own several of these and they are quiet and does a damn good job) Corsair Magnetic Fans (heard amazing things about them) Fractal Venturi HP12 (Brought some for a buddy, works decently well)

    One possibility for unstable FPS would be a dirty driver install. Use DDU to nuke the current drivers and reinstall them to see if that helps.

    "Cheap" is a very subjective term. Not all schools or cluster of schools have that kind of spare funding to upgrade something that is still functional. And software that some schools use may not have support for W10 so there is that factor to consider.
  9. itsmyjobtoknow
    Do you not know how much money it would cost for businesses and schools to deploy W10 to almost every machine and make sure that nothing breaks or loses support for certain software?

    I wouldn't know why someone would underclock a CPU on a desktop, but for mobile devices, it is a viable option to obtain a longer battery life.

    [01/19/2017] Update #5 - It's Still Alive (Machine Re-Build and Minor Upgrades) The project is not dead, and I still have my girlfriend, but time got thin which therefore left the project on hold. With that being said, here is a re-build and a few upgrades since 02/13/2016: - Phantek Enthoo Evolv ITX (White) - Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (Blue) with carbon fiber accent - R9 Nano I do apologize for the shitty photos, didn't have my DSLR at hand.

    If it's purely for gaming, I can't justify it unless I had money to kill. And if I do have money to kill, ultrawide would be my go-to option. 1080P is still a fine resolution to game at. To me, the only time you should consider a monitor upgrade is when you find yourself needing more space to do work to be ever so slightly more efficient.
  14. itsmyjobtoknow
    This is all dependent on what you do with your system. For me personally, I went from a 1080P panel to a 1440P panel because I needed more vertical space when I was programming. There was also a side benefit of playing games at a higher resolution, but that wasn't the main justification. I also want to go to 1440P ultrawide, but there is no single benefit besides the "because I can" factor.

    It depends on the price of the board and if you can spare the lost of that money. If the board is dirt cheap, than I personally would give it a shot, otherwise since you're very tight on a budget, its probably best to look else where. Of course you can go for it if you want to take a risk of losing money, but there is also a chance you can gain value.

    This is why I charge at Mei every chance I can get as she can completely wipe out the team with her ult....

    [01/30/17] Board came back from RMA, and I also brought an ThunderboltEX 3 card just for testing purposes. To my surprise, Asus didn't manage to screw me over. The BIOS has some new options I didn't see previously. The board did work and so did both Thunderbolt card, although I had to mess around with some settings to get it fully working in Windows.

    [01/21/17] While the X99 Deluxe was away for RMA, I found a damn good deal at Microcenter for an open box Gigabyte X99-UD4 for 71USD. Couldn't pass up, and all it was missing with an IO Shield. Although it did me issues while booting up initially, the board has been more stable although the BIOS was crap compared to the X99 Deluxe. That being said, it served as a temporary board for the time being.

    [01/11/17] For some odd reason the ThunderboltEX II card couldn't be recognized in windows unless it was in the first PCIe 16x slot. But the BIOS does recognizes it in any of the slots, and it would act as a displayport passthrough..but otherwise it left my SOL with my Elgato Thunderbolt 2 dock. Several Asus reps couldn't figure out the issue, and after being given a complete bullsh*t answer of: "Your hardware isn't compatible", I had it requested for RMA. The photos were merely meant for documentation purposes in case the motherboard got damaged during shipping, or got damaged at Asus's end.
  21. itsmyjobtoknow
    More features Better/Higher components Potentially better OC result Better compatibility support (only applies for some boards) Subjectively better looks

    Not completely true, a lot of Xeons on LGA 2011, 1366, and some LGA 775 xeon are capable to overclock only if it's paired up with the right consumer grade platform such as x79, x58, etc.
  23. itsmyjobtoknow
    I highly doubt you will be able to overclock on that motherboard purely due to the fact that it's a dual socket board...therefore implies that it's a server grade board of some sort, which therefore implies that you're very locked down in terms of overclock-ability. The most you might be able to overclock is like 1-5% by increase base-clock.
  24. itsmyjobtoknow
    They don't exist....at all AM3+ platform came out in 2011 with only support for DDR3 because that's what existed at the time. DDR4 came out in 2014ish
  25. itsmyjobtoknow
    The x79 platform is still a good platform, especially if you can get it on the cheap and overclock it to the limit. Yes it is somewhat outdated but isn't obsolete yet. But you don't need a 1000 watt PSU....not even remotely.
