Silver47

Realized that too after looking up some in-depth specs. Decent, but hardly a high-end product. Has served me well though, never had any complaints.

I'm running the system currently in a very Frankenstein manner with the enclosure open and my old Corsair TX650 sitting right beside it on the desk, powering the whole thing. I ordered a Silverstone SX650-G, which should nicely fit into my Silverstone SG05. Should arrive late today or early tomorrow.

Ordered a Silverstone SX650-G, the review of which I actually looked up on your website prior to ordering! Hopefully this little bad boy will last me some time because it certainly wasn't cheap.

Could you specify why exactly you wouldn't? Do you think this would overload the psu?

Hello guys, I've got a SFX psu by BeQuiet! which is rated at 400w with 80+ Bronze efficiency. Its got all the usual safety features which are usually found in good quality powersupplies, safety against over-currents, over- and under-voltages, short circuits, and overloads. I know that Nvidia recommends at least a 500w unit but most psu calculators on the internet say that my system will be drawing about 330w under load. I understand that this isn't an ideal situation and that most powersupplies like to run at about 50% load since they are most efficient there, but I don't intend to run it this way forever. So as long as the maximum system power draw won't exceed the max rated wattage of the psu I should be good, right? I only want to know if it will outright fail if I turn it on the first time, I don't intend to run it this way for long. Couple of days or as long as its going to take for my new 650w psu to arrive. Related question: I understand that it isn't a great idea to max out a powersupply, but generally it should mean its still technically safe, right? I mean if its rated at 400 watts by the manufacturer (and is of relatively good quality) it should be able to deliver 400 watts under any circumstances?

I would actually use Edge, I don't mind it. But I will stick with Chrome as long as possible.

If so, it will be far, far more expensive than the 1060 3GB that you bought.

I'd advice to reset your BIOS, turn off any programms that might interfere or overwrite any BIOS settings (Afterburner, Intel XTU, etc), check your system drive and most importantly your RAM for stability. Like Linus said ages ago in some buid log, most of the time you're encountering stability issues, its caused by the system memory. Second most likely reason would be a unstable OC. But obviously this could also be caused by a multitude of other reasons.

Maybe try to run AIDA64 stresstest or any similar diagnosing tool. It seems like your RAM might be unstable

Faster RAM would really give you better performance with an APU. Also 4 GB istn't really sufficient anymore for anything other than the most basic games

You're good to go. Maybe oc your 3770k, but this combo will be fine.

DAMNATION UPON YOU, INTEL!!!

Wow I didn't know that. On the other hand I've never really dealt with regular Sandy Bridge in any way, but thats pretty cool. So for gamers there wasn't any incentive to buy a K-type chip in that generation, huh? I mean a 4.2Ghz quad-core was pretty much enough for every game back then. I wouldn't know, because back then I played vidya gaems on a Dell Inspiron Laptop in 720p low settings.

Fair enough, I went with this strategy back in 2013 when I got my 4770k and it worked out great. Still using it today. Don't really think so. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. At least in the past they didn't, or at least not by a real significant amount that is. Also they will run out of stock fairly quickly, because I suspect that a lot of people might want to try and wait for the prices of the last generation to drop, since the prices of the new generation are frankly just stupendously high. In the long run, it will definitley be significant. For example when they were new, the i7 4700k and i5 4670k were neck and neck in gaming performance, but over the years (as games started to use more simultaneous threads) the i7 really started to benefit from having 8 threads. For example my brother runs a i5 4690k (4 threads) with the same graphics card as me but my pc (i7 4770k - 8 threads) gets a lot more fps in AC Origins and Witcher 3. In the long run the i7 will be worth it, especially since you said you want to get the longest possible lifespan out of your system.

Get a 4770k or 4790k and oc the living daylights out of it. Mine runs at 4.4 Ghz and I havent been in a situation once where I wished for more raw cpu power, since I got it in 2013.

Pairing a Ryzen 5 2600 or a Ryzen 7 1700 and a GTX 1080 Ti is an absolutely ridiculous proposal. CPU bottleneck from hell. This would need a Ryzen 7 1800x or 2700 at the very least, better yet a Core i5 8600k.

I'd suggest Mindfactory.com they usually have the lowest average prices.

Thats absolutely fine. Your pc (as configured) might not even exeed the 300w mark under full load I suppose

I'd say getting a i7 8700k if you "only" going to pair it with a GTX 1070Ti is wasted cpu power. You could easily safe 100€ by buying a i5 8600k instead of the 8700k and spend the extra money on a GTX 1080. Would certainly get you better framerates for sure. Don't get the i7 if you dont really need the extra cpu power for productivity, for gaming the 8600k and the 8700k are literally neck and neck.

Habe gerade bei eBay nachgeschaut, einen gebrauchten 4770k bekommst du ab 185€. Der 4790k ist zwar minimal schneller, aber den Aufpreis vermutlich nicht wert. Benutze selbst noch einen 4770k und bin mit der Leistung sowohl für Gaming als auch für 3D/CAD Arbeit super zufrieden.

If you don't want to change your platform right away, you should definitley look into buying a used i7 4770k or 4790k. Those are still very potent cpus today, especially once overclocked. If you want to get a new more modern platform, I think the AMD Ryzen 5 1600x is very hard to beat in terms of value for money. But keep in mind that you will need a new mainboard and new ram as well. I'd say get a 4770k or 4790k.

Some R5 1600 are just not able to overclock very high. I built two identical gaming rigs for friends of mine, both with a Ryzen 5 1600. One is able to go to 3.9Ghz at 1.28v, the other one doesnt even really do 3.8Ghz stabily unless given 1.35v.

Maybe check if all the core multiplier settings are set to run synchronus.

Did you oc and/or raise the vcore on your chip at all?

Temps way too high for a 4670k. It should perform better even on a stock cooler. My brother runs a 4690k @ 4.3Ghz on a Corsair H45 and it never really gets any hotter than 65c. I suspect your liquid might have been boiled and permeatet over time, especially since its three years old already.
