My rig sports Gigabyte's 1070 Xtreme Gaming with an i7 7700k. Do you think it will play nice with a 1440p Monitor with 144hz? It also has GSync if that helps. The monitor is this one: Dell S2417DG. Thank you in advance! Dell S2417DGDell S2417DG Dell S2417DG

Hi All, Did you see newest info about gaming on Ryzen? With the inflow of the information about how RAM affects Ryzen performance some people were able to get Ryzen running with fast RAM. The effect on gaming performance is astonishing - the Ryzen 1700x was on par with intel i7 7700k! See below video for more info. TL;DR R7 110.5 Avg fps | 7700k 109.3 avg fps Once i5 come Linus should do a full retest of all of them with a fast ram! Important: we might be talking about pure gaming performance, but that's not a whole story. Not even talking about price (so different for different countries, configurations, taking in account whole build price or not, different cooling solutions etc.) or price/performance ratio this looks sooo promising for the i5 Ryzen processors like 1600X It does look like Ryzen processors might be like a wine as someone mentioned in comments - it'll only get better with time No one should say now that Ryzen processors are shit for gaming!

Hello guys, Just a few questions I'm planning to build my first PC, but i have some trouble with choosing a CPU. I have two options: 7700K w/ Maximus IX Hero or 6800K w/ X99 Strix. It's for schoolwork, video-editing and gaming. This is the parts list: Intel Core i7 7700K / Intel Core i7 6800K ASUS ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO / ASUS ROG X99 STRIX ASUS ROG STRIX RX480 O8G G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR NZXT KRAKEN X62 / Cryorig R1 Universal Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX TG / be quiet! Dark base Pro 900 Corsair RM750x Western Digital Blue SSD Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX So the question is: What CPU / Chipset do you recommend, What cooler do you recommend and What case do you recommend?

The Problem It seems to be a pretty common issue keeping things cool in this case when running SLI. After some searching I found very little information about how to keep temps in check. Came up with a cooling solution for my 1080 SLI setup in an S340 Elite. I guess you'd call it a push/half pull radiator fan set up in effort to cool the twin 1080s. Before the mod, GPU2 was reaching 91-93c while GPU1 was in the mid 70s. I'm running +85 on the core clock and + 450 on the memory clock. This seems to be about all that I can squeeze out of the EVGA FTWs before getting artifacts in testing. Either way, these temps were far to hot and I wasn't willing to give up the OC. Testing was done using the Fire Strike ultra 4k stress test. It performs 20 loops keeping both cards at or near 100% usage. I realize this isn't realistic for most games but some games come quite close i.e. watch dogs 2 and mass effect Andromeda really push the GPUs with max setting @ 4k. The stock case fans are pretty much crap. Only rated around 20 cfm airflow. Replaced both the top and rear case fans with Cooler Master Fan Pros 120mm for the rear and 140mm on top. I did this before adding a 2nd GPU so the 91-93c temps were recorded after upgrading those fans (I imagine those number would be even higher with stock case fans) The Solution The natural next step was a push/pull radiator configuration in order to move more air through the RAD providing additional airflow through the case and across the GPUs. For those like me who looked into this know that a conventional push/pull config wont work on the S340 due to the cable management bar, it protrudes at the top blocking the needed clearance for the additional fans. Some people remove the cable management bar in order to pull this off. I was pretty against this idea. Not only is the cable bar functional but it's a big part of the character/aesthetics of this case IMO. I also had lighting plans that take advantage of the bar. Initial testing showed me that simply setting one of the stock NZXT 120mm case fans on the other side of the rad with the exhaust end pointing toward the GPUs reduced temps by 4-5c. Now the OCD takes over and it's time to make it look good. Note: This is all considering that you're using a 280mm radiator. The NZXT Kraken X62 in my case, although I'm sure you can do something similar with a 240. This little gadget is key. We cant use a 140mm fan because the cable bar blocks us on both the top and bottom of the rad. Even with this, the backside screws are a pain to get in but it can be done. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043GMY1U/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The best way to do this is to attach your fan to the converter bracket first and then mount the bracket and fan to the radiator. Keep in mind that at least for me, the sole purpose for this is to reduce GPU temps as CPU temps have been great even with a 5GHZ OC on the 7700k. The results + Pics I'm very happy with how this turned out. I'm using speed fan for fan curves that react to both CPU and GPU temps. For the love of all that is holy I don't know why speed fan seems to be the only app that can control all my fans based on GPU temps. If only the Asus fan expert app could do this..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Using fairly quiet fan profiles (maxing at 70%) im seeing temps in the mid 80s which i can definitely deal with. For most games they don't go over 50% This keeps things reasonably quiet and prevents much GPU throttling. Just out of curiosity I did a 'God Run' with the front panel off and all fans @ 100% which brought temps down to low 70s. I hope this helps someone.

Hello, I got myself a 7700K and an Asus Maximus RoG 8 Ranger - (170) I am going to update the Bios (for the first time ever) and I need help choosing a Cooler of any kind for my CPU I ve been looking Into BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3 and BeQuiet Silent Loop 240mm as well as BeQuiet Pure Rock 2 (does that one fit ?) After asking several Members via direct msg they suggested to open a new Thread. I have only mild overclocking in mind or none at all since I never overclocked anything other than my old GTX 970. Buying used is fine if it´s quiet and cool enough. Thank you for your help

I'm looking for a CPU cooler (fan+heat sink - no water cooling for me) that will turn of at idle temperatures with a 7700K installed (no overclocking). Much like the MSI 1060 3-GB gaming x does. BTW, one of those will also be in the case, whipping some hot air around. I'm going for a silent PC here. Ideally all fans will run at load, and the both the GPU and CPU fans should turn off at low load.

Well been messing with overclocking for about two weeks now on and off to reset defaults and I think I finally fixed it here are photos from a 20 minute test I did twice. As well as the benchmark test which takes as long as it needs to my score was 1438. Is that good? Anyone know memory OC too? I'm looking in to that now as well how to set it up correctly as well. If my CPU is good to go at 5.0GHz As well I didn't touch anything but cpu multiplier and vcore and offset. How about this AVX offset I left it default which on my board (Z170 classified k) is 3. Vdroop fine on default? I'm new to overclocking & my first build. Just want to make sure I'm doing this Overclocking the right way. One question opening certain programs jumps my temp to 4(x)c sometimes 5(x)c from idle 32c. Is that normal? I use this PC for recording gameplay and editing videos and rendering which is the most reason I want 5.0Ghz so It'll be quicker than ever before. My old PC used to take 14 hours (that's right and true) to render an hour video. Photos of stress test today at 5.0GHz Vcore on auto with a offset of +75 temps never hitting over 70c. Yesterday at 4.8GHz hitting around 78c-83c with a lower Vcore (I thought this was quite weird) Tried again 5.0 at 1.335V though when testing 1.363 & 1.381 it said was the fluctuates of vcore for the temps for prime95 v26.6 test was 79c-80c. I say cause it passed the 640k test then was trying to do its 8k test temps went above 90c.

I want to get an Intel Core i7 7700k for my build, but how should I cool it? Air cooling is preferred. I do not plan to overclock. This is my build. (My graphics card is a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition)

Hey guys. I would like to ask if you think I should upgrade to an i7 7700k, or if I should upgrade any other parts of my setup. I have a 3440x 1440 monitor with 100hz refresh rate. Current setup : Gigabyte Z170x gaming 3 32 gigs of ddr4 @2666 240 gb SanDisk ssd for o's 1tb hdd 7200rpm Msi gtx 1080 ti gaming x overclocked to 2050 MHz stable Intel core i7 6700k overclocked to 4.5ghz Enermax liqmax 2 240mm aio cpu cooler 4 corsair hd case fans 2 corsair maglev cpu fans Corsair lightning node pro Corsair 460x case Thermaltake TR2 gold 700w psu (the new version not the old) VID_20380207_183058_082.mp4

So we have a few leaks from WCCF (Take this with a grain of salt if you must) showcasing a 7700K on LN2, and a 7600K on air. One of these results is pretty impressive. The other, not so much. 6.7ghz on LN2. Keep in mind, we don't know the voltage required to achieve this, but the current WR on HWbot for the 6700k is 7ghz on LN2. This is slightly disappointing in comparison, but we know too little to be absolutely certain. If we knew its voltages, and had other bins to compare against, it would clarify whether or not this is a good or bad result, either way, I am currently not impressed with this LN2 result. As for the 7600K, it's results on air, are pretty impressive. Now, we know the voltage required to achieve this overclock. It's very high. HOWEVER, keep in mind this was done on air. Thermal runaway dictates that the hotter something gets, the more power it consumes, which again leads to more heat and more power consumed. With a better cooling solution, this voltage requirement might be reduced. The fact that it was "very stable" at this clock speed on air, might lend some credit to the new fin design. To put this into perspective; one of the more prolific overclockers on this forum, @Lays has a 5ghz 6700K that runs at 1.43v on a custom loop. While the overall clock speeds have not changed from what we can achieve on Skylake (as predicted by most people), the impact of the new fin design on overclocking is still not known. Perhaps the more mature 14nm process in Kaby Lake provides a higher voltage tolerance over Skylake, or at least offers more stability of lower clock speeds at lower voltages. I am sure @patrickjp93 will know more about this, so I might as well tag him while I am at it. I still stand by my previous statements, in that Kaby Lake will have zero IPC improvements over Skylake. As we get more details about Kaby's release, I'll be prepared to eat my words if I am wrong. 7700K clock speed image: 7600K clock speed image: Source: http://wccftech.com/intel-core-i7-7700k-core-i5-7600k-overclock/ UPDATE: I can't tell if the memory kit they are using is trash, or if the IMC on this specific CPU is bad, but this is a very lackluster memory result. DDR4 4000 has a peak theoretical memory bandwidth of 64GB/s in dual channel. This result is only showing 83% write efficiency, and only 64% read/copy efficiency. Hopefully it's the kit itself. I would hate to see a step backwards in IMC quality.

Hi! I have two questions. One about processor. One about memory. I'm planning to build a PC for video editing and gaming. Processor: Right now I'm looking into buying the Intel Core i7-6700K for my build but I heard that the Intel Core i7-7700K processor is coming out soon (January?). I can wait until January to build my PC - should I wait or just buy the 6700K right now? The 7700K is appealing. The water cooler I plan to get is the Corsair H115i 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler, if that matters. And my motherboard will only support LGA1151. I believe everything is compatible (correct me if I'm wrong). RAM: I have two choices between RAM. One has a higher latency and higher speed and the other has lower latency and lower speed. As you know, the higher the speed the better but the higher the latency the worse. Here comes the dilemma: should I get the higher latency and higher speed memory or the lower latency and lower speed memory? Higher speed; higher latency: Speed - 3000MHz Tested latency - 15-17-17-35 Lower speed; lower latency: Speed - 3466MHz Tested latency - 16-18-18-36 Thanks for the help!

Having problems finding a potential CPU cooler. The Asus Z270i does not have a usb connector for an AIO, I know there is a fix for that but I'm thinking of just sticking with air cooling. Clearance is limited as far as the height and ram I plan on using which is the vengeance RGB ones. Any suggestions are greatly apprectiated.

hi, how do i know how to orientate the CPU after removing the IHS from the CPU

This is what I've already purchased thus far https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rKKvJV I need help deciding Graphics Card, System Memory, and any insight to my cooling Liquid vs. Air. I will say I don't have GTX 1080 Titan money laying around anymore, so anyone with experience running VR on other GPU's i would really like to hear your experience, was looking into the GTX 1060 6GB. For system memory I was thinking 16gb Corssair Dominator 3200, then bumping to 32GB later Lastly just for kicks I like to ask people what case they would choose and why, that question always gets a plethora of different answers. And since this is going to be my new personal/everyday work computer i want it to look sexy, I want my colleagues to be jealous at the reveal. I do want quality this is to be a performance build, but cant afford the top of the line premium components. Im needing reasonable price without sacrificing performance, I don't want to lose another wife over my toys when she starts seeing my receipts lol!!! Thanks in Advance and again any opinion or input is valued

So i go back and forth between the two processes and want to know what y'all think. I'm making my first pc. I do a heavy amount of photo editing and i do a fair bit of gaming. Do i go with a Intel 7700k build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/63ZQ4C or an Amd 1700x build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W7R47h

So I was putting together my CPU for upcoming build, and was wondering, should I go with an X299 Chipset CPU like the i7 7740X or should I go with the kinda older X99 I7 7700k. If you have other CPU suggestions please also say them here.

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my CPU but I am completely stuck with what I want to do. I currently have a 5820k overclocked to 4.2ghz with a 1080ti and 32gb of 2133mhz ram. I mainly use the computer for video games, but I also run game servers from time to time, do light 3d modeling and editing, and dabble in pretty much anything. I realize my usage doesn't really quantify a 6 core processor which is why I'm heavily leaning towards the 7700k for the much faster core clocks. The issue is, I am considering doing SLI with my 1080ti and purchasing an hdr 4k monitor towards the end of the year. So, I want to make my purchase now with 4k in mind (currently, I play in 2k and I do realize I am under utilizing my 1080ti). I've heard that ryzen is much better for 4k gaming but all of the benchmarks I have seen show the 1800x and the 7700k neck and neck when it comes to 4k gaming. Any constructive opinions on 7700k vs 1800x would be appreciated. I am also more than open to other ideas on what might work best. I appreciate any help, thank you!

Hi! I'm venturing into the world of overclocking, so far it's going pretty well (i think). I've been reading a lot about overclocking and seeing a lot of Youtube video's. Today i overclocked my CPU to 4.9 GHz stable on this setup: Intel i7 7700k OC'ed to 4.9 GHz @ 1.36V Asus Prime Z270-K motherboard 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz clocked @ 2400mhz Geforce GTX 970 Cooler Master Masterliquid 240 on the CPU Under 100% load during Cinebench, XTU stress test and Realbench benchmark my temperatures are around 70-80 degrees celsius, peaking at 85 degrees. Under normal conditions, such as gaming, it's around 50-60 degrees. I find this to be good results, considering that i'm using a cheap AIO and my CPU is not delidded. There is a few things that i'm wondering about. First of, temperatures. Every time i read a post or see a video about temperatures, i see different recommendations for "optimal" temperatures during load. Some say below 90 degrees celsius is optimal, some say below 80 and some say below 70. This is confusing, especially when Intel apparently just recommend it to be below 100 degrees. Is this just a personal matter, as long as it stays below 100 degrees? My second question is about stress testing. I don't do long stress testing when overclocking. I do a short test to check my temperatures, and if everything looks good i starting using my pc as usual. If it's stable for my everyday usage, i'm happy. I can see the benefits of a stable system, but torturing a CPU with 100% load (Artificial load) for 8 hours just seem dumb. You wouldn't take your newly tuned car on a dyno and give it full throttle for 8 hours. Am i missing something here? And for the very last thing, delidding. What are the actual chances of failure, when using a dedicated delidding tool? I often see people warning about the dangers, but if i use the delid tool as it's meant to be used, don't scratch the die and apply the right amount of liquid metal, are there other things that can go wrong?

*LONG THREAD WARNING* So let me start of by saying, gosh darn has it taking me waaaay too long to finally join these forums! It's good to be here finally Like many on here, I've been watching Linus from the very early days on NCIX and oh boy is it awesome to see him grow and form LMG. So a bit of background info. I started building PCs around 10 years ago, when those crappy IDE cables were the fastest connection and black case interiors weren't a thing. My first build was terrible... molex adaptors everywhere, cable management wasn't in my vocabulary and the case... my god. Even though it looked terrible by today's standards, I was really proud of it. AMD Phenom X3 build circa 2009 (yeah.. I'm still not sure why I didn't get an X4 chip) It's amusing to look back and see the severe lack of effort by manufacturers to have complimenting colours schemes at the time. The modding scene from what I remember was pretty huge though! I even had a HD3450 in that system for quite a while, I still have it somewhere.. Over the years and a few PC builds later, I was still always having to just botch together systems as I could never afford a complete full new build. I'd always have to pull an old drive from my last PC or make do with my current case, skimp on a power supply and buy a dodgy '700W' one with ketchup and mustard cables I'm sure many can relate to this, but I was still happy. My main system for around 7 years was my trusty AMD Phenom II 955 black edition and a HD4890 (upgraded to a HIS 6970 at a later point) This was built not long after owning the Phenom X3 system. However, Intel was about to hit AMD hard with their announcement of their soon to be game changing i7 line of CPUs. As soon as the i7s came out I wanted one. The 960. That was the CPU to have, however like today, they were really expensive and I could not afford one, nor the motherboards - heck I couldn't even afford a proper PSU! (above) A rather unsightly interior on one of those awful huge turbine cases with a piano gloss finish. Honestly the worst case ever made. I highly recommend to new builders to never ever go cheap on a case! (below) My efforts for a black interior in an Antec 300 case (legendary case!) For some reason, I decided to go crossfire...If only the PCI slots had that much clearance nowadays haha! I did love these reference coolers for the ATi cards around the 3000 - 4000 series cards. ------------------------- Over the years I flirted with upgrading my system to the i7 I really wanted. The 4th gen i7s was when I almost pulled the trigger initially, but never did. Then the 7th gen approached... During a CSGO game my power supply blew up. My PC was out of action for around 8 months while I was in between work. I also use Mac for my work so a replacement PSU wasn't urgent (although I did completely drank to silver... *shudder*..) I ended up picking up a Corsair CX series PSU to replace my noname cheapo Chinese version. ------------------------- Thanks to the HTC Vive (and lots of video editing) I ended up picking myself up a Strix 1070 to make my system VR ready (still running the Phenom II amazingly and this was my first new card since the 6970) However, due to my own stupidity I thought GPUs wouldn't be bigger than the huge HIS 6970 cooler, but I was wrong. The Strix 1070 was literally about .5cm too long for my Antec 300 case ... sigh. So a quick trip online and a Corsair 450D later, I was up and running. I was rocking some 'baller' (as described by Luke in one of the scrapyard wars episodes) OCZ Gold RAM. Ah.. OCZ. I had all my 4 slots taken up with only 8GB of RAM and wanted MOAR!! So I ordered a 2X16GB kit of RAM from Corsair. ONLY TO REALISE MY BOARD WAS SO OLD IT COULD ONLY TAKE 4GB STICKS MAX. *RAGEQUIT* This was the point I just said f*ck it. This was the time to build a new system... I wanted this to be an accumulation of all the things I learnt over the years. The patience and desire to create some I've wanted to build. As a creative and artist, I wanted something that wasn't only a workhorse, but a piece of art in it's own right. and here it is. Progress -> Near Completion You can never have too many photos of these Dominator sticks. Man are they sexy. This was the 'completed' build. A system that worked but wasn't a finished build in terms of aesthetics. Upgrades below included: - Swapping out the CX series for the AX860i (I am and was aware of the problems people had with this model) - Getting aftermarket / custom sleeved cables for the PSU - Replacing all the fans with Maglev series ones The updated build. Looking cleaner, however the cables weren't making me smile.. so I checked out CableMod for some cables. To my surprise they didn't float my boat for what I wanted, amazingly Corsair had pretty much the exact cables I wanted and at a lower price than what CableMod were offering. I went with the Metallic Graphite set, which was exactly the look I wanted I took quite some time picking out components that would compliment each other. I didn't just want to match up blacks and whites, but match metals, finishes and show a class of engineering. I absolutely love the turn companies have made this year with muted and monotone colours schemes. This allows the builder to be more creative in then filling out the build with whatever secondary colour they want. I love how there is only a splash of red from the AX860i. It was important for me on this build to not have anything in this system that would detract from this overall aesthetics when it was off *cough* mustard and ketchup cables haha! The cables were looking a little crazy. I totally forgot to order cable combs with these which actually ended up being the best thing that happened. I discovered these gorgeous billet aluminium ones over at MNPCtech. It was so strange finally ordering something from Bill as it was him that first ignited the PC building passion in me 10 years ago. I remember watching all his crazy almost MTV mod videos, featuring PC cases with airbrushing effects... ahh.. Good times! A little tidier... Added some Corsair RGB goodness - and yes, that really is the keyboard I still use. PS2 2001 baby *disclaimer the 24 pin is wonky because the back panel isn't on. Long story...* (I did also check out the CableMod ones of these too, but got increasingly annoyed with not being able to find a video or photo showing the white. In nearly every shot the camera's white balance was set wrong and wasn't showing an accurate colour... sigh. I finally found a video featuring these Corsair ones showing it was a cool white which sealed the sale and ended up also being cheaper!) The monotone look of this build comes to life with a splash of colour from the RGB. It really changes the feel of the build. Some colour experimentation. I have a whole colour pallet and ideas exploration on my Instagram for those who're interested. Being a photographer, aesthetics and colour are important to me. Have a look up of the colour wheel that has been around for literally centuries, it'll give you a basic breakdown of complimenting and contrasting colours. --------------------------- SO This was my 10 years in the making. I always wanted that core i7 and a rig that I could be proud of. I always wanted that neat system with tidy cables and overkill written on it. So here is my system, Purple Reign (albeit more magenta, but f*ck it) *DISCLAIMER* The thing that I know people will love to point out and ask, is the strange GPU combination. I know, it's not the conventional setup, but from the initial VR upgrade I ended up having a 'spare' 1070. The matching aesthetics (disregarding the difference of cables) was too tempting not to try. The 1070 will probably go in a build for my other half for her own VR rig and I'll go SLI 1080Tis and a custom water loop HOWEVER, the current issues with SLI and VR put me off. This is also not just a gaming machine. I do heavy editing workloads in both Photoshop and various motion graphics and video editing suites. So, as much as this would be overkill for just gaming, I'm also a full time working professional ;-) Many thanks for checking out this super long post and reading through my journey <3 Current Specs - 7700K @ 5Ghz - Corsair 450D case - Corsair 32GB Dominator Platinum LE Chrome RAM - Corsair H115i AIO cooler - Corsair Maglev fans - Corsair AX850i PSU - Corsair Metallic Graphite cables - Samsung 850 Pro 500GB SSD - Asus Strix 270E motherboard - Asus Strix 1070 - Asus Strix 1080Ti - MNPCtech billet aluminium cable combs

Hi guys, I pretend to build a new pc using an Intel Core i7 7700K with an Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark1 motherboard, but I really don't know if there will be any issues because of the architecture, and since I'm ordering the stuff online it would really be a problem if I have to return it, it has to be perfect on the first try. Also, I checked on Pc Part Picker and it says that I might need to update the bios using an older CPU, but that's not really an option for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much for your time.

Hi everyone, I am unfortunately in a place whereby i cannot afford to buy two brand new games so therefore i am having to choose between two different games. I have looked at many different reviews but i still cannot decide which one i should buy. If you could give me any advice on what to buy and why then it would be very much appreciated. I enjoy the genre of both games and have played predecessors to both in the past. I have heard good and bad things about both games. Thanks for your help

Hi all, Firstly, I am in the UK and am working with £GBP. My PC: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XG4hVY I was just wondering if there is anything that sticks out to anyone that might need to be upgraded or that should be changed? I like to play a variety of different games such as PUBG, Destiny 2, COD: WW2, GTA V, CMS2018 etc. I am currently being able to play these games in 1080p quite well however my GPU always gets quite hot, however im reluctant to upgrade to a better GPU as the prices are so high at the moment due to Cryptocurrency. Any help would be hugely appriciated.
