Hi, On the spec sheet of the Intel i5 8600k it says "Max # of Memory Channels: 2". Does this mean max 2 RAM sticks or max 4 RAM sticks in dual channel? Thanks! Link to spec sheet: https://ark.intel.com/products/126685/Intel-Core-i5-8600K-Processor-9M-Cache-up-to-4-30-GHz-

Hello, I am currently saving op for my first gaming rig featuring an i5 8600k. But I'm debating on what motherboard to choose. I don't really have the time to check for features on every single motherboard because I'm in my final year of high school. So my question is, what are the general consequences of cheaping out on a motherboard? Does it affect overclocking performance? Is internal/external I/O negatively affected, as in do you get significantly less and/or worse ports? Are there any nice-to-have-but-not-necessary features that I will miss out on? And lastly what motherboard do you recommend for a budged option and what motherboard for a more expensive option? Thanks in advance Joost

Hey, First things first: CPU: Intel i5 8600k MB: Asrock Z370 Pro4 Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 PSU: Seasonic 620W M12II-620 Evolution Ever since I bought this computer some months back the cpu temps have been bugging me. I've tried looking for a solution by googling etc., but even though many people seem to have similar problems, I haven't found anything that works for me. Idling my temps hover around 40C, which to me sounds a little high but still acceptable. However, testing with prime95 or intelburntest temps hit 100 almost instantly. Here's a screenshot after 5 seconds in prime95: https://imgur.com/a/U9y0LiY I have made sure the cooler is attached tightly. I have applied new thermal paste ( Arctic silver 5 ). Fans are running fine. AIO pump is in working condition with one water pipe being a little warm. All my settings in bios are at default values, so mostly auto. Looking around forums people seem to be overclocking to 5.0Ghz "easily" with similar setups and here I am struggling with base speeds. Any and all advice are welcome. Thank you.

I have a build planned out that I'm gonna start soon and the CPU I had picked out initially was an 8600k, but when 9th gen came out and they were about the same price I changed it to a z390 mobo and 9600k. I plan to buy in the next few months, which will give time for benchmarks to come out of the 9600k. Just as of now, with how the 9600k looks on paper, would it just be easier to change back to an 8600k? Or just stick with the 9600k. I'm gonna be patient regardless, just wanted some input as of now.

So, I wanted to upgrade to a "k" version of a CPU as, right now, I have an 8400. The CPU isn't terrible at all but I just wanted to be able to overclock and get slightly better performance. I saw the cheapest ad for a 7700k over all of the others for $250. I bought it. I later realized it was probably a not great buy considering I could've bought an 8600k for for the same, if not less. How much of a performance difference is there. I know there is 2 less cores than even the CPU I have now. How much will I notice these things? I hate myself lmao. -
I overclock my cpu to 5ghz 1.3 v My cinebench result is 1081, isit okay ?

i plan going itx, am i better of changing platform or just get a z390 itx board. I plan on gaming at 1440p on a 2080 level card from amd or nvidia. -
These are all new parts for a new PC build. When I try to POST, nothing on the screen happens, no fans spin at all (not even the CPU fan). The only two things that happen is this: There's a single click sound somewhere in the system when I press power and on my motherboard on the EZ Debug LED, there's a solid clear white LED that shows up next to the CPU indicator. Nothing else at all happens when I press power. Here are pics of the LED.

Hi guys, I need help. In December of 2017 i build my first PC: MB: AsRock Z370 Pro4 CPU: 8600k stock clock (can OC to 5Ghz but don't need so much juice ?) GPU: Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ RAM: ADATA XPG Z1 2x4GB OC @ 3000Mhz (from 2666Mhz) Cooler: CM Hyper 212X I knew the RAM can be more, but coming from Pentium E5700 with 4GB RAM and Radeon HD5760, this PC was a BEAST already! I've always wanted to upgrade to 16GB of RAM when I get some cash so a few months later I was looking at modules and prices and was thinking of getting another 2x4GB for a 4x4GB but saw on forums that's not as good as 2x8GB, not to mention that the Z1 RAM modules were no longer available in my country ?. Eventually when I finally found some money I started looking at (RGB) TridenZ, Vengance, HyperX and then I saw the new XPG Spectrix D41 2x8GB 3200Mhz. I bought it as its something not many people use in their builds so its quiet unique and ofc it looks awesome. Later when I got to install it at first it was running at 2666Mhz 1.20V but ofc I wanted to make it run at its advertised clock speeds. I've tryed manually clocking it to 1.35V and then using the XPM to get it to 3200Mhz but no luck, my PC can't even boot. Eventually it settled at 3000Mhz and 1.20V (never ran a benchmark but games are smooth). How can I (Can I?) make it run at 3200Mhz? The MOBO is said to support 4000+Mhz so I doubt it can't provide enough power for the RAM (see the screenshot). Does my CPU need to be OC as the clock speeds are getting too close RAM/CPU (3200/3600)?

Hello everyone I am going to buy a new CPU and other stuff here soon, but im unsure, whether or not to buy the i5 8600k or the Ryzen 5 2600x. The i5 8600k build is gonna be around $100 more. I also want something that is ok for streaming, recording and/or gaming, but I am not planning to do any 5 ghz overclocks. I might overclock a bit though. (2600x I am planning to use stock cooler, since I am not doing any huge overclocks) Here are the two builds: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rNXdMZ https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z63jvn

I just built a new micro-ITX gaming computer with the following specs: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX i5-8600k H5 Universal air cooler 1x 120mm rear fan pushing air out 1x 120mm top fan pushing air out 2x 120mm front fans pushing air in I'm getting a max temp of 73 and idle of around mid 30s in STOCK. I'm looking to overclock my CPU up to 4.8 GHz or even 5.0GHz. Is this air cooler not good enough to cool my CPU? If not, would you recommend the EVGA CLC 240mm or Corsair H100i v2? I play at 1440p resolution, by the way.

So I'm in the process of OCing my 8600k, but I'm not really sure of the OC that I should reach. I'm currently stable at 5.0ghz, but is that about all I should be able to squeeze out of the chip or not? Cooler:Deepcool - GAMMAXX GT 29.5 CFM CPU Cooler

Hey all, I'm looking into buying a 8600k to replace my 6600k and Asus Z170M-Plus I've had for nearly 3 years. I'm going to pair it with a GTX 1080 I recently purchased and would like to achieve a stable 144hz fps at 1080p/later upgrade to 1440p 144hz. I've narrowed it down to these two boards within my budget which I can't decide which is reliable to overclock. Ideally I would like to run at 4.5ghz but sometime later I would like to achieve a stable 5ghz. The other features I would like to know as well is which one has a better onboard sound chip, and if the second PCIe slot runs at 3.0 x16. I would like to hear your guys experiences from these boards and overclocking results. I'm also using a NZXT x61 AIO. ASRock is cheaper about $40nzd compared to Asus but I've only used an Asus mobo and it's been good/easy bios for me to understand but willing to try ASrock as it seems to be praised for this chipset. -
I just built my second PC... Specs: Intel core i5 8600k at 4.7 Gigabyte z370 mobo 1x 8gb stick of ram 256gb SSD 1tb HDD 500w 80+ gold psu Sapphire Rx460 Bequiet pure rock cooler The build works fine, it boots, loads windows and plays games but it won't work with my VGA monitor... I've gotten it working on my HDMI tv on both the CPU and GPU HDMI ports but neither work for my monitor... I'm using a VGA cord with HDMI adapter and that works perfectly with my laptop (lenovo dual core coffee lake i7 with a 950m) and old PC (amd FX6300, 8gb ram and the same rx460) but it won't work with my new build... Help please?

So to put it simply, this would be the next CPU for my gaming PC, no application-work needed. The 8700k is sadly more than I'm willing to pay so it basically comes down between the 8600k and 8700, which should I get in terms of future-proofing and getting the most for my money? Ideally I would have the CPU last me around 4 years if not longer like my 3570k did. Based on all the things I read about this topic so far, it seems like the 8600k overclocked would have the edge right now while the 8700 would be better long term. Atleast from what I saw this was true in past CPU generations, e.g. 3570k vs 3770. This is due to games handling more threads more and more efficiently down the line so the extra threads would help offset the lack of 500mhz global multi-core turbo compared to the 8700. I would pair either CPU with a beQuiet! Dark Rock 3 (non Pro), 16gb 3000mhz RAM and a GTX 1070. Demanding games I play currently: - Battlefield 4 - Battlefield 1 - Overwatch - PUBG - Varous MMOs, Blade & Soul, FFXIV etc. - Forza Horizon 3 - Witcher 3 Games that I want to play in the immediate future: - Battlefield 5 - Forza Horizon 4 PS: I bought my Dark Rock 3 last year, will the box have mounting-brackets for the 8xxx CPUs or do I have to order something? Thanks in advance! -
Hi, so my overclock arm is itching again and I kind of want to go up to higher than 4.4GHz, since that's literally 0.1GHz higher than boost clock speeds so it seems like a pathetic overclock in that big picture. I currently have my 8600K set to 4.4GHz as previously mentioned, and now I feel like going to somewhere around the grounds of 4.5 or even 4.6GHz just to get that little bit more oomph out of my CPU. (and subsequently my garbage motherboard VRMs) In classic seoz fashion, I have a few questions: 1. Is there any real-world difference in going from 4.4GHz to 4.6GHz? 2. Is a 4.6GHz overclock significant enough when I cap my games to 75FPS anyway? (I have a 75Hz monitor) 3. Will there be any significant electricity bill increases from going up to 4.6GHz? 4. Is a 450W PSU enough to cover a 4.6GHz 1.25V overclock for daily usage? - 1.2V currently 5. Is a 4.6GHz overkill for 60% general usage and 40% gaming?

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I had a water leak in my pc. luckily my insurance gave me enough money to buy second hand replacement parts, the issue is the parts I bought look ugly. Because of the non-appealing looks I have been looking at a new motherboard combo, and it would not cost so much as I can sell the current setup for a good penny. Here is how I look at things: (tbh I haven’t used any of these systems so I would love some feedback) so this is my current setup: gtx 1080, some random gigabyte itx bord, 16gb ddr3 ram, and i7-4770 non overclockable CPU. How I see the options that I have: I5-8400, good: New and not 5 years old + less noise and heat. Bad: no performance increase. I5-8600k, good: same as above + better gaming performance. Bad: must buy new cooler. I7-8700: no need to overclock to get better performance, however it cost more than the 8600k with a new cooler. 1600x, good: supporting amd + overclockable system for 100 euro less than intel. but I upgrade systems allot and it usually isn’t expensive as I sell the previous stuff, but ryzen chips are hard to sell and go usually for a lot less than intel systems. Tldr: I mainly use my pc for gaming, I have a gtx 1080 currently, will I get any benefit from upgrading cpu, and If I do upgrade which cpu should I choose, the i5-8400, i5-8600k, i7-8700 or the 1600x?

I am working on new gaming PC and looking for a cooler but the site from which I am buying everything (live in spain - https://www.pccomponentes.com/ -- you may need VPN to access, they seem to be region blocked) don't have many air cooler options. I think the best air cooler option that fits my case is the Phanteks TC12DX. Would it be enough for moderate overclocking? What about OC up to 5GHz? Or should I go with a AIO, if so, which one. Also how much OC would you recommend for a complete beginner? Please don't recommend things which aren't on the site if possible. Thanks for any help.

Hey all once again, I'm back to remedy my overclock itch and so I'm now on the climb from 4.4GHz up to currently 4.6GHz, and then 4.8GHz in the future, perhaps. With overclocks, voltages are just as important, so I was wondering to all the 8600K owners who have specifically overclocked to somewhere between the region of 4.4-4.8GHz, what's the safest voltages you people can manage? When I was on 4.4GHz, I was able to do 1.2V no problem, and I've just followed that with 4.6GHz where I'm still running 1.2V. I can't tell if I'm damaging my components in any way, so I'd like some insights as to what voltages I should be running at. Extra question: 5GHz, what voltage is safe? I think if I remember correctly when I ran 5GHz for ten minutes, I was on 1.35V, but I cannot remember for certain.

Ive been hunting along alot of forums and there's too many conflicting answers and not many seem to have the same issue as me: assuming budget isn't a limiting factor what is the best mobo for overclocking on the 1151 socket? I already made a mistake of getting confused and accidently getting a baord with alot less oc potential than I'd like and I dont wanna screw it up again (Got this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAD7H6NW4992 on accident cause I spent so long running through forums in my barely awake state I decided THIS was the one and when I woke the next morning I never bothered to actually look closely, so if anyone needs one below NewEgg pricing I gotchu). Just for the sake of being thorough I'm rocking a delidded and liquid metaled 8600k with the dark rock pro 4 as my behemoth of a cooler, also preferrably the more nuetral colours on the board the better.... got a black, grey, and white astetic goin. Thanks for any advice!

Help me choose a CPU - 2600/8400/8600k
Divergent.01 posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
READ THE WHOLE POST PLEASE. I'm getting a new PC this week. Can't decide which CPU to get - 2600/8400/8600k? Here's the thing, 8400 is cheaper than 2600 here. And the price difference between a 2600 and an 8600k is about $30. I don't have a problem with getting any. (2600 is the only Ryzen 2 CPU available here) Gaming or productivity you ask? Well, honestly, I'll be gaming mostly for now. But as I won't be getting any upgrades for the next 5 years, I want a future proof system that would let me game and help in productivity in the future. As for the motherboards, I'll have to pair the 2600 with the cheapest X470 as B450 isn't available yet. 8400 gets paired with a B360/H370. 8600k gets paired with the cheapest Z370. Are the cheapest variants of Z370 and X470 worth it? I'll be getting the Hyper 212 Turbo LED to cool the CPU. I'm skipping the GPU for now as I'm not a tight budget. Would probably get a 1060/1160/580 after I save up. -
Long story short, my watercooler broke and im stuck with a tx3 evo. I cant run my uasuall 4.8ghz with 1.36v So i have to run 4.4ghz, and i cant get the voltage below 1.232v I doesnt need to be that high, ive tryed everything from adaptiv to offset to manual. Any suggestions? The voltage wont go belove 1.232

So I was wondering if I would notice performance dips in games like BF1 since the 8600k doesn’t have HT. I’m willing to get the 8700k but it stretches my budget a bit and I’m also planning to get a 1440p monitor in a year or two so there’s that. Anyways yeah hyperthreading at 1080p and 1440p difference in performance enough to annoy me? (I’m a 144hz maniac lol)
