  1. Doesn't matter if it's common or not, if your CPU can't get stable at 4.5GHz with the max voltage you want to use, you got no choice but to do one of the option. You will notice a minimal difference between the two clock speed.
  2. If the AIDA64 test is stopping itself...that is usually due to instability somewhere. Most likely your overclock. You can either pull back on your Overclock and voltage (yields lower temperature), or add more voltage (yields higher temperature)
  3. Can't you return it? Or did you pass that 15 day mark?
  4. An adapter is just an adapter...doesn't add any special software feature that allows incompatible hardware to become compatible. The BIOS has to have support to boot into the NVMe drive, otherwise it will be seen as another storage drive. I would know since I've looked into getting an Intel 750 for my z77 platform almost a year ago. There is an option for you to get it working, but that will require you to modify the BIOS
  5. Any series prior to 90 series doesn't have support for NVMe unless the manufacturer released an update for it.
  6. I also have a 3770 in my server machine, a 2500K in a test bench at some point, 2400 in the family computer. You won't be missing out too much in terms of gaming.
  7. 3770 will still do you good, heck even a 2500K will still be fine for gaming application.
  8. M.2 if you want the SSD on the motherboard itself. Some M.2 slows don't support PCIe Gen 3.0 x4. So be mindful before buying randomly. U.2 if you still want a cable going from your motherboard to the drive SATAExpress...there is one enclosure on the market from Asus...otherwise there are no SATAExpress drive at all.
  9. Got any picture to show us exactly what it is you're looking at? The way the fluid look will give us an idea what it could be. Looks like grease...could be the thermal pads
  10. *face plant* The amount of stupidity that is coming out of you...is just mind blowing. Do yourself and the rest of the world a favor, and learn sarcasm, and learn the difference between a joke that seems like a statement, and an actual hateful statement,
  11. FFS...it's a joke. Linus doing crazy sh*t at CES has become a meme in the PCMR reddit/space. Someone legit took the time to photoshop Linus taking the damn laptop. Its a f*cking joke.
  12. If you have a job, you're selling your time to the company....so technically we are all sell outs....
  13. You do realize that they were joking about the whole "Linus stole it" thing....
  14. If I remember correctly...the H80 used the stock clip on system that comes with AM/FM socket. So you should be fine.
  15. Not necessarily....More fans on a radiator can yield a quieter result then a singular fan while pushing the same amount of air. Also...if a fan is disable until it hits a certain thermal threshold....than a disabled fan won't be making any noise...
  16. Each processor varies, and at each frequency the voltage might vary slightly or greatly. For example, my 3770k is stable at 4.5GHz at 1.220~ish volts, but in order to get 4.8Ghz, I have to go beyond 1.380 volts. There are also people out there that can't even hit 4.7Ghz because they lost the silicon lottery. So the only way to test if your 4.5GHz overclock is stable at 1.3V, is by putting some sort of workload on it. Stress test will work, but they don't always tell the whole story, and this is based on experience. My 3770k can stay stable with aida64 for hours on end, but crashes when trying to render a video on Premiere Pro, the render would fail, and when playing games like GTA V or BF4, game would crash. After increasing the voltage slightly, everything works.
  17. There is a difference between no longer exist...and discontinued. No Longer Exist means...it has been completely removed from this timeline/world/existence and you can't physically find one Discontinued means it is no longer made but exist somewhere. So I think you meant discontinued, because I very sure I can find a Caviar Green to buy on Amazon, Newegg, NCIX, Microcenter, etc.
  18. Why spend an extra 15USD for an extra 400Mhz when I can achieve an extra 400Mhz myself? I mean it won't get to the 5Ghz mark, but the differences between 4.6Mhz on SkyLake and 5Ghz on Kabylake isn't a large gap in terms of performance.
  19. 15USD is lunch for a day, and I personally would spend 15USD on food over a CPU that performs nearly identical to the predecessor clock for clock. And I said over the 5GHz bound but that is besides the point. OP already has a z170 board, which means he can't utilize the new features of Kabylake anyways. If Op were to already have/planned to have a z270 board instead of a z170, yea go for the 7600K, the new features are worth the extra 15USD. But based on the current situation, a z170 platoform with a 7600K, 15USD just for higher clockspeed, IMO can't justify. Heck, if Op decided to get a z270 board down the road, that's spending another ~150USD or so just for new features
  20. Yes, Single Core and Multi-Core, and what I see is minimal improvement. Is it worth 15 dollars just so you can overclock a little higher and have slightly better performance? I can't justify it unless Kabylake can easily overclock over the 5Ghz bound on air and not at high voltage. If Kabylake had a 5% improvement over Skylake, I might even say sure, spend an extra 15USD for it, but 15USD just for better overclocks?
  21. Based on that logic...my 4.5GHz 3770k Ivy Bridge has the same IPC than my friend's stock 6700 Skylake, which is bullshit and not how IPC work. A overclocked CPU or GPU does not yield higher IPC at all, it just how fast the IPC are going. And I don't understand your statement of "Buy Maxwell because at the same clock, its faster than Pascal" I've never said that Skylake is faster than Kabylake. I am just saying the IPC improvement does not exist. Furthermore, Pascal cores are stronger than Maxwell cores....and they are two completely different architecture while Skylake and Kabylake are very similar.
  22. There is little to no IPC gain between SkyLake and KabyLake, but there are some refinement done to KabyLake that allows it to overclock higher. IMO, save the money and get 6600k since you won't be able to utilize the new feature from KabyLake on a z170 board...
