    a 5ghz 6600k was bottlenecking my 1080 on dota 2 so you do the math
  2. FellTheSky
    this is on my crosshair VI Hero (x370) at 1.35v . Can probably tight the timings more, but dont really care that much.
  3. FellTheSky
    1080 ti maybe 5800xt but between those 2, 1080 ti
  4. FellTheSky
    its gonna get a lot worse. For both cpus and gpus
  5. FellTheSky
    if i was you my upgrades priorities would be GPU RAM CPU in that order

    it really depends on what you consider gaming. Mainly resolution, refresh rate and which particular game genre you like. I switched from a 6700k to a ryzen 3600 and im more than happy with the change. At 1080p 144hz, i do notice the ryzen is slower in some games, but not enough to overcome the 50-60 % multithread performance i get, specially in compression and decompression (part of my job)

    Well its not so much a thing of bad ram modules. They passed every single stress test. Even 24 hs of memtest. But the problem is if i turn off the pc, it boots up on c5 code, which forces clear cmos. Not always, but from time to time. The clear cmos button wont work on that code, so i have to remove the graphics card in order to clear cmos by removing battery. As you can imagine, a big pain in the ass. But maybe a future bios will fix this. The board is really good for that price, i think i bought it at 130 locally. Im not sure how much motherboard affects overclocking on ryzen 2, but my 3600 goes to 4.2 ghz at 1.3v. Going beyond is just impossible for 24/7 (above 1.47v)

    I have that board. The bios looks exactly the same. Ram OC is not that stable in my case. I get a lot of c5 errors that forces me to clear cmos. I also think my memory scores are a little bit lower than those with crosshair VII VIII, not that i really care. Other than that, it works fine crosshair VI doesnt need an old CPU to update bios, it has usb flashback

    my 3600 does 4.2 ghz at 1.3v, to pass to 4.3 ghz requires about 1.48v without LLC. With llc, performance wont increase. I get 1680 cinebench at 4.2 and at 4.3LLC stock gives 1550 ish (sometimes a little bit less or more)

    Just download msi afterburner and check gpu usage while you play. If it's below 80-90 u have a bottleneck. (it can be resolution, memory speed, cpu)

    not only cpu oc, but memory aswell I cant get my ryzen stable at 3733 mhz (memory) The best i could do now at 1.5v is 3600ram at 14-18-17-28-84-1t . Yet my 2016 6700k ran at 4266 24/7 with exceptional scores and 38 ns latency. In the games i play (or used to) the difference was night and day as you never were GPU bound Im not switching back to intel, but i wont deny what its right in front of my eyes. If all you care is gaming, and you really really need the extra framerate, you'll be better of buying intel. Sadly i dont think they will lower prices

    i had a 6700k at 4.7 ghz. Now i have a ryzen 3600. Do i notice a performance deficit in gaming? Absolutely. 6700k was much much better. Ofc it depends on the games you play. Grimdawn, dota 2, starcraft 2, custom games. Very noticeable on all of them (144hz monitor) . But i dont play much now days and i really need render, compression and decompression. And dont have much cash ( the change didnt cost me more than 30 us$).
  13. FellTheSky
    i was on the same boat as you, i bought the 3600 and oc it to 4.2 ghz all core 1.32 v. Performance increased is worth it in my case, as i tend to play older games like starcraft 2, grimdawn, dota 2 and you can clearly tell there is a big difference (144 hz monitor)
  14. FellTheSky
    thats really good, is that 24/7? Did you had to do anything fancy to set it stable? I have the crosshair VI hero and 3800mhz wont boot even at 1.5v (boot dram and vboot voltages) and loose timings. I get a c5 error and have to clear cmos
  15. FellTheSky
    whats the best latency you guys managed to get on aida64?
  16. FellTheSky
    i havent had time to fiddle around with each setting but in my case, all core overclocking doesnt seem worth it. My 3600 wants 1.42 v to get 4.3 ghz stable in all cores. Temperatures are fine, at 16c ambient it gets around 66c, but if i try to go 4.4 ghz it needs like 1.48. For gaming, i dont see the benefit of the all core oc, specially when you pay such a high voltage to do it. The best configuration ive managed to get was downloading the asus ccx oc, getting 1 ccx to 4.4 ghz and the second one to 4.2 ghz. Voltage around 1.38-1.4 when all cores are loaded
  17. FellTheSky
    3600 now.
  18. FellTheSky
    1st your upgrade is very marginal. 200 mhz isnt gonna give you 20% performance boost 2nd not every game takes advantage of faster ram speed. You'll need to be in a cpu bottleneck situation, with your GPU usage being lower than 85-90% ive tested 2666 vs 3866 in PUBG on a big city and the difference was massive, over 30 fps
  19. FellTheSky
    whats your cooler and your ambient temperature?
  20. FellTheSky
    are you checking max voltage during idle? Ive heard there are some problems with these early bios
  21. FellTheSky
    im currently on a maximus VIII Hero and a 6700k, but i bought a x370 crosshair VI on a local store at $130 us$. I guess im grabbing a r5 3600 now
  22. FellTheSky
    check on msi afterburner GPU usage, i assume the 970 should deliver about 60-80 fps on high settings on that game, at 99% usage. For the 2600k build, if it has a overclockable motherboard/cooler, aim for 4.4/4.5 ghz, also check prices for some used 2133 2x8 ddr3 rams.
  23. FellTheSky
    ryzen 3600
  24. FellTheSky
    single thread
  25. FellTheSky
    this is my favorite cpu all time, you can buy it for dirty cheap. This one i bought for like 40 us$ lmao
