Here are the specs: Fractal Design Node 804 case ASRock Z270 Extreme4 mATX Kaby Lake i7 7700K 2- Samsung M.2 NVMe 950 Pro (RAID 0) EKWB Extreme 240 kit (SP pull from top of case) 2 - front mounted 120 fans on the MB side (AF type pull) 1 Rear mounted 120 fan on the MB side (AF Push) 2 Top mounted 120 fans on MB side (AF Push) AMD W4100 (programmer, not a gamer) (I'm an old fart) I can OC the cpu to 5.0 GHz no problem. Running AIDA64 at 4.8 GHz the temperature spikes at 90 degrees C. However, stopping the test (idle) brings the temperature back to 35 degrees C in less than 2 seconds. Is my pump running too fast? Case to friggin' small? Thoughts?

Hello, I'm planning out my first gaming computer build, and I thought I'd switch out the Skylake CPU I originally had planned for the Kaby Lake version that will then go with a MSI Z170 motherboard. Though, here's where my confusion sets in: On PCPartPicker, I'm getting a warning that says, "Some Intel Z170 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs." So, when I order everything, will the motherboard already come with that BIOS update pre-installed? Or will I have to somehow update it before putting in the CPU? I'm not quite sure how that all would work, as I've never built a computer before. Thanks.

Hi! My existing rig is a dell mobo with a 4790, 12 gb ram, and a 1060 and I was wondering, would it be worth it to upgrade to Kaby lake? P.S. there are a couple issues with the mobo right now; there's an electrical buzzing noise coming from the mobo and outputting through the headphone jack when either cpu or gpu is under load, and the usb controller doesn't like to power things like phones or audio interfaces.

Hey guys, i'm looking for recommendations for air coolers that will help a 7700k get a stable overclock of at least 4.7ghz. I realise that an aio liquid cooler would be a no brainer in this situation but the case that I have doesn't support them do to size constraints. (too big, not too small) Anywho, any recommendations will be considered and be gratefully received I have already shortlisted the noctua nh-d14 but have also heard hushed whispers that a 212 EVO might still do the trick? *Conclusion* After a bunch of research today, i'm going to go with the D15. Seems to be a solid purchase -
For my first desktop, I am considering purchasing either a i5 7600 or an i5 7600k. I have no past experience choosing processors, and I am planning for this build to last me through college (or the next 5 years). Would spending the extra 20 USD make my rig last longer through overclocking and the higher base clock, or would it be better placed somewhere else? Any suggestions are welcome.

Considering selling my 6600k, as for whole 18 months i've had it, it's constantly locked up, and even RMA'd every single component in my build to see what was causing it, and still happening. so i'm just wondering if kaby lake is any more stable, than skylake, as I've just absolutely had enough and sick of it, just wish intel would recall both skylake K SKUs, as i've even read through intel's own forum, tom's, here, and reddit, for any solution, and nothing other than the prime number bug. if anyone from intel see's this, sort your sh*t out. -
I need something faster for video encoding and gaming all together. I game at 3840x1600 at 60hz. I mostly play WoW but casually enjoy modern games like the witcher 3 and BF1. Something to keep in mind, I purchased my computer from NCIX in august 2014 and it came with oem windows 10 software. Does that mean I have to purchase windows 10 again? My current system specs Corsair 450D Z97x-UD5H i5 4690K at 4.5ghz Noctua NH-D14 ASUS GTX 780 3GB Samsung evo 840 250GB WD 1TB blue GSkill 8GB ddr3 at 1600 XFX 750W black edition The video card, cpu and ram have to go for sure. A bigger SSD might be nice too since 250gb isn't much when most modern games typically take up 60+. The question is, 16gb at 3200 or 32gb at 3200? GTX 1080 or wait for the 1080ti? 6700k or 7700k? -
I've decided to finally bite the bullet and retire my 2500k. I will sell it as well as my mobo on ebay. Anyway, I'll be using my current case, PSU, GPU, and peripherals. So basically I need a CPU, motherboard, and RAM. I will be getting the unlocked Kaby Lake i5. Does anyone have any recommendations where I should by my parts from. I live in the US and am close to Fry's Electronics and Microcenter. I really need help with determining the mobo. I do want to overclock but don't want to spend a premium on high overclocking potential so the board doesn't need to be too rugged. Will my current AIO 2500k cooler fit the new setup, or no? This PC will be used for mainly 3440x1440 100Hz gaming (don't need the video card). And I want to make sure that I'll be able to boot from an NVME drive once I get one. Right now I just have a Sata 3 SSD. Any advice would be REALLY appreciated. EDIT: I may want to SLI in the future

Yo fellow builders, Built a new PC this past week and since my wife could care less I cant really show it off to her so of course im turning to the internet for self validation and sense of accomplishment lol. My Sandy Bridge build (my first custom build) was beginning to show it's age. I decided I would upgrade my GPU to the GTX 1080 and in doing so I began to itch and twitch to rebuild entirely after learning of the upcoming Kaby Lake chips. The release of these chips may be lackluster upgrades when compared to Sky Lake but for me the timing was perfect. I was stoked to build something new and do it right. My last build was functional and reliable but was lacking aesthetics and character. I used a cheap antec case and struggled with cable management. It wasnt pretty but it worked and served me well. At the time those things didn't matter as much to me. I just wanted a beast gaming rig that could run Crysis This time around I'm a little older, a little wiser (not much) and I'm armed with hella nerdy ambition to build a rig that can break the barrier of 4k gaming (kinda) on my 65 inch Samsung TV. Parts List: NZXT S340 Elite Matte Black Intel Kaby Lake i7 7700k (I joined the 5 ghz club after OC) Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero motherboard (Z270) EVGA GTX 1080 FTW NZXT Kraken X62 AIO CPU Cooler Corsair Vengeance lpx 16gb 2 x 8gb ddr4-3000 memory EVGA SuperNova G3 80+ Gold Fully Modular 850W PSU (for future SLI) Corsair 120 GB SSD Boot drive, Kingston 240 GB SSD Slave drive + two 1TB 7200 RPM HDDs (all carried over from old build) Deepcool RGB 350 lighting kit (for those RGB LED headers on the mobo and a bit of bling) See attached pics and here is a vid link to show unleashing the Kraken RGB LED goodness https://goo.gl/photos/FUMGNeh4vbA3LRyk9 I was unhappy with my mis matched SSDs on display so I did some modding with a bit of carbon fiber vinyl wrap that I picked up from a local Auto Zone. Ive also got an extra RGB extension on the way for cleaner cable management at the top of the case. Future upgrades include (if my wife doesn't kill me that is) M.2 Boot Drive (went with evo 850 500gb samsung ssd due to higher capacity) a 2nd GTX 1080 for SLI (Done) What ya'll think...its a damn turd bucket right!? Thanks for checking it out. Kraken X62 fresh after peel Didn't like the mismatch SSD so picked up some carbon fiber vinyl from my local auto zone. Shit is about to get real!!

Does anyone know if Intel HD & Iris Graphics Drivers Version 21.20.16.4526 WHQL works with HD Graphics 630 on Windows 7 x64? These video drivers include Kaby Lake iGPU device IDs. Have a look at igdlh64.inf line 155 and devid.info/237509 Does 2D / 3D run without crashing on Win7 x64?

Greetings. I've been extremely excited about the new hyperthreaded Pentium processors on the Kabylake lineup, which bring us about the same specs as a Core i3 6100- they all have 3MB of Cache, no turbo boost, and clock speeds ranging from 3.5 to 3.7 GHz, 3MB of Cache, no turbo boost, and of course; Hyperthreading. They all perform about on part with a Core i3 6100, with the top-end Pentium G4620 actually beating it. It's faster than a $115 Core i3 6100 at a mere $93, and the cheapest Pentium, the G4560, is surprisingly close for a chip that is almost half the price of the Core i3 6100. Here's a comparative benchmark where the Pentium G4620 beats the Core i3 6100 (albeit by a very small margin) And here's a benchmark showing how close the three new Pentiums are in performance. It seems Intel's getting serious about their low-end CPUs. I know that I'm going to be recommending these three over the Core i3 6100 from now on. Regards, Aereldor. Edit: yes, I know they were benchmarked with a 1050 ti. Look at the Cinebench scores in the beginning. -
I'm still looking for the best DDR4 to pair with my Asus Z270E & i7-7700k. If I understood correctly, my board will handle RAM up to 3866Mhz. The price is quite similar in here where I live, the product is the same, just different speed and latency. Which one I should get? I know there isn't a huge difference but there still should be a difference. G.Skill Trident Z 3200Mhz CL14 G.Skill Trident Z 3600Mhz CL16 Thank you in advance!

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sXnGd6 Intel Core i5-7600K Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory I have the F20 Gigabyte motherboard Bios Update on a USB flash drive in the off colored usb port and connected to a monitor via usb. When I turn it on the monitor does nothing, the fans turn on, the debug screen on the motherboard runs through a bunch of numbers and stops at 55. Then it restarts over and over. When i looked up the Error Code 55 apparently it means its a Memory Problem, that either the Memory isnt connected properly, is to fast, the cpu isnt working, or cpu isnt seated properly. I think im running into two of those, the Ram is Pre-Overclocked and the Motherboard needs a bios update before it can work with the CPU. I have another computer with an i5-6400 and 2133mhz ram. Should I swap out the Ram and see if it works? then swap out the CPU to update the Bios? Should I setup ram overclocking settings before I put the 3000mhz ram back in? Im in unknown territory.

I just got my Kaby Lake 7700k! My new ASRock z270 extreme4 will be here Wednesday! now what about RAM? The 7700k says it supports ddr4 2133/2400 I want to buy the CORSAIR Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model CMU16GX4M2C3000C15 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-236-076 Will the ddr4 3000 still work just just at 2400? Or should I just get ddr4 2400? If I overclock the CPU will it use the ddr4 3000 faster then the 2400? Wow I feel dumb.

I plan on upgrading to a Kaby Lake PC, basically just a basic overclockable i7 setup. I want to know more about what motherboard / processor I should use, and what I might want to change on the rest of my upcoming plans. More info below the specs. The main reason I want to upgrade my build is to not be limited. I want to be able to do practically anything I want on this PC. That means video editing, playing Battlefield 1, perhaps on a 4K display, or at least 1440p, and I also would like to have as many background processes as I want open, while still being able to play games just fine, even when streaming and recording, etc. This build has no definite budget, but I will have to by things 1000$ at a time, give or take 100$, So the "Upgrade" Specs below are just the "first" part of the "upgrade" I plan to get a new monitor, storage, GPU, etc in future "upgrades". Specs of upgrade: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ccYXhq CPU: i7-7700K Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 (3gb) mini Motherboard: MSI Z270-A PRO Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8gb (2x4) DDR4-2133 Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2-2280 SSD Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Current Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vgw6KZ CPU: i5-4590 (overclocked to 3.7 ghz, turbo to 4.11) Cooler: Stock GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 (3gb) mini Motherboard: H81M-E33 (an overclockable H series) Ram: Unknown maker, 2x4 gb DDR3-1600 Storage: Western Digital 1tb "Caviar Blue" Case: A random Cyberpower PC case I bought for 10$ off a friend PSU: EVGA 500 watt (Bronze rating) So my main line of questioning is as follows: (please read) What processor will best suit me for recording, streaming, and playing high end AAA titles at 1920 x 1080, while running multiple background processes, such as video rendering, or perhaps Skype, Discord, Teamspeak, or maybe a minecraft server / Kerbal Space Program? How much ram will I need for this kind of load on my PC? 8, 16, 32, and how fast? What graphics card would provide no bottleneck for any processor you think I should have, or the one listed above, and why? Which motherboard should I get, keep in mind I want a black and red / green theme, and RGB is a high priority, the board above is only listed because it's a Z270 board, and I'll probably change it to an RGB one soon. Should I get a 4 core, 8 thread, or 8 core, 16 thread CPU, or perhaps downgrade to an i5 / 4 core, 4 thread CPU? Thanks for your guys opinions, I would like to take into consideration all of this info before I go and spend 850 - 1500 $$$ (USD) Also take into consideration, that I will also be happy to upgrade to a Volta, or Vega GPU provided it does what I need, so let me know your thoughts there as well. (This includes a later released processor, i.e. 2019, etc, I wanna know what I should be looking for.)

The i5 or the i3? They're about the same price. Gaming, bf1, doom, civ 6, dishonored 2, 1080p Running with GTX 1060

Hey all, Like a lot of people, i'm planning Mobo, CPU and RAM upgrade, thought not instantly, probably few months down the line. I would be interested to hear what the current landscape looks like when it comes to these parts, and how/if things have changed since around 2013 when I got this build. Edits: If its not fully clear from text above: I'm planning to get all of these new parts at once, some months in future. So first of all, my current specs: Asus Z87-K EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Intel i5-4670K @ 4.00GHz HyperX Savage DDR3 1600 C9 2x4GB Samsung 850 EVO 240Gb SSD Windows 10 64bit Western Digital Blue 1TB HDD Seasonic S12 II 520W BRONZE Lets move on the to the questions, shall we: #1: Motherboards Are there any changes aside from socket type I should be worried about? I'm not planning to do anything special with the motherboard. Will probably just leave it be, and maybe few years after the upgrade overclock my CPU, that's it. Are there any new must have new features I should be aware about? I'm *probably* just grabbing some Asus motherboard for my upgrade, something like Asus PRIME B250-PLUS (Because its cheap). #2: RAM DDR4. 16Gb. That's my plan so far. How much should I be concerned about the RAM speed? Or should I be concerned at all. Whats the "Go to gamer RAM" these days. #3: CPU Probably the most important discussion. Ryzen, details are still mostly unknown and hype is strong, really excited to see what comes out of this, but since its not out yet, pretty hard to get reliable stats and opinions, so we shall move onto whats actually out right now: Kaby Lake. While there was understandably salt being thrown around about this CPU line, for me its the most reasonable place to go with my next CPU. So the question I have is the age old "i5 vs i7". For longest time "i5 is good enough for gaming" was thrown around, but now, i'm not so sure. Games such as Witcher 3 benefit from i7's and i7 are becoming the standard in the recommended CPU section of game system requirements. Few months ago I made an thread discussing the bottleneck of my CPU and got some interesting answers regarding the i5 V i7 debate: So, with the new generation of CPU's from intel, does still still hold true: I would see gains from i7 grade CPU on build with GTX 1070. While i7-7700K is 120€ more expensive than i5-7600K, I fear that if I cheap out here, I will run into same bottleneck problems few years down the line, as i'm having now. The idea is to have an upgrade that will last me next 3-5 years, no sweat. Thanks for reading. Feel free to suggest me any parts you think would suit me in this situation. Also, as an reminder: I'm not going to upgrade now. Probably around June, or July, so don't start berating me about not waiting for Ryzen to release ;). I'm in no hurry, I just want to get the feel of the modern CPU,RAM,MOBO landscape. -
Where can I buy a Pentium g4560? I cant find one at newegg or amazon -
so I'm about to upgrade to z270 mobo ofc with a proper kabylake cpu , spesifically the tuf mark 1 https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/TUF-Z270-MARK-1/specifications/ or the strix z270f https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z270F-GAMING/specifications/ and i have in stock the wraith cooler i got a while back from buying fx 8350 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113415 so the question is, will the cooler fit unto the either one of those mobo?

Hello! I was dialing in my overclock on my i7 7700K and I noticed that my temps are actually about 7-8ºC lower than when it was running at stock frequencies and voltages. I got it to 4.7 GHz @ 1.3 V so far but before everything was set to auto and it was 4.2 GHz @ 1.2 V supposedly. My question was if anyone else experienced this when they where overclocking their Kaby Lake too (or any CPU for that matter) and if anyone had could tell me why.

Im going to uprgade to an intel i5 7600k (very good cpu for gaming will suit well with my rx 470) I got my eyes on the asus prime z270a but there is the identical one as asus z170a does it matter which one i will choose or should i just get the z170 for the lower price? the build is going to be for gaming. also kind of irrelevant if a card supports 3-way crossfire/SLI does it mean it will also support 2-way crossfire/SLI?

Hi! I don't know if this counts to be in the CPU section, but I am in the process of selling my MSI gaming laptop and using the money I get from it to buy a MacBook Pro and the current models have Skylake CPUs. I am wondering is it worth the wait till around October for them to release the late 2017 model with the Kaby Lake CPUs? The reason for this is because I heard that Kaby Lake CPUs are more energy efficient than Skylake so that should equate to a longer battery life. Also I heard that Kaby Lake has some native video encoding and decoding so that it is more energy efficient. Is that good for watching videos and movies on YouTube and Netflix? Also I saw that Kaby Lake CPUs are clocked higher than Skylake chips along with having a higher turbo clock speed. After I sell my gaming laptop then I would only have my desktop left for a computer. So that is why I am asking is it worth the wait? Or will the performance and power efficiency not be big of a difference to justify the wait time. -
Ive been working cutting lawns and have enough to buy a 7700K and have a bit left over. Should I continue working until I raise the £750e needed to buy one of the new LGA2066 Core i9 Extreme processors. Im not working within a set budget but would like to keep it within £4000 I have set aside £1600 for 2 EVGA GeForce GTX 1080Ti FTW3 cards. I am building a system primarily for video editing and gaming in a Corsair Carbide Series 400C ATX case and using a RM1000x power supply (both of which I have already bought). It seems to be a little strange to see a 13 year-old beginner jumping in with a high-power, high-cost system after using a low spec late 2012 mac for almost 5 years but I am fed up of not being able to play games at 1080p on settings higher than lowest stably. On less demanding games I can usually squeeze 20-30fps out of my 512mb GeForce GT 640M at 1080p. I would also like to be able to access more VR games as the PlayStationVR game library is very limited and is lacking many adventure games but I am really enjoying playing Star Trek Bridge Crew that I pre-ordered months ago that came jut the other day. I am willing to work for the money like I have been for the past three months. I AM ONLY GOING FOR INTEL/NVIDIA since I believe they are the best for Multi-Threadded performance although AMD's new X399 'Threadripper' CPU seems pretty promising. I just thought to ask for advice. -
I have been experimenting around OC'ing my 7700k for a while, with not a lot of success. Currently, I have it running at simply 4.5GHz @ 1.19V - I like to keep my system kinda quiet, however would like to at least try to take it further. In the past, I have tried taking it up to 4.8, I get it at around 1.3V, however I am aware that this is bad, considering most seem to be able to get 5GHz @ 1.3V. Did I just get an unlucky chip? I though 4.5GHz @ 1.19V was pretty good... One other problem is the temperatures, I have a Corsair H80i, and at idle my CPU runs at about 35C. Currently, at 4.5GHz @ 1.19V, it reaches about 70C after 15 minutes on full load, is this good? I have a feeling I got a bad chip here, as when I go 5GHz @ 1.4V, I get a BSOD. So basically, I was wondering if there was anything I could do to squeeze a little more performance out of my CPU, while keeping temperatures below 80C under load, even if I did end up with a bad chip?

Hi guys, I'm really hoping someone can help me here because I've run out of options and I created an account just to ask this. I just built a new HTPC with the following specs: Mobo: AsRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 RAM: 8Gb DDR4-2133 Samsung EVO 850 SSD 512Gb The Motherboard has a HDMI 2.0 connector, fully compliant with HDCP 2.2, and is currently connected to a 4K LG OLED TV using a brand new, thick HDMI cable. As far as I've read, the above combination of hardware SHOULD be able to play back 4K 8bit/10bit HEVC files that I've 'acquired' flawlessly - but it doesn't. 4K video files are basically unwatchable, and despite Task Manager telling me that the CPU is only under ~35% load and RAM is only 25% utilized, I still can't get my files to play back flawlessly. I've done the regular thing and updated all Intel VGA drivers, tried a variety of codecs and downloaded about a dozen media players - all produce the same disappointing result. So now I have zero ideas left, and to be honest, feeling really depressed. This was the entire reason I built this system, and I was assured on multiple fronts that it would be able to play back 4K files due to Kaby Lake's native HEVC decoding. Before anyone suggests buying a GPU - please don't. At least, not unless you specifically tell me why I need to spend another $200 when this hardware should be more than capable of playing back these files. Thanks in advance for your help!
