Looking at CPU upgrades, I'm currently running a i5 3330. To upgrade to a skylake chip (or wait for kaby lake) would require a motherboard and RAM upgrade also. Would it be worth considering purchasing an older gen cpu (i7 3770k?) instead of a costly upgrade? Would the big increase in cost be worth the performance increase from newer generation parts? Any advice appreciated.

I have an A10-5800K and a gtx 950 in my current build anyways, so the gtx 760 alone is about 5-10% more powerful and the cpu 40-60. Any recommandation?

Hi community! I'm from Vietnam and wanting to get a new PC rigs, my main purposes are general office uses(30% of the time)[web surfing, Office, PDF reading...); gaming(60% of the time) and photo editing, 1080p video processing in Premiere Pro(10% of the time)...So the main purpose is gaming... About the video editing and photo editing, render time is not a problem. But I will be running during sleep, so I need the PC to be efficient and quiet My question is: i3 4150/60 or i5 3470, which is more efficient and better at gaming assuming having same GPU and RAM speed Games that I play are: CS:GO(most of the time), Fortnite, BF4, GTA V(much of the time) and streaming CS:GO to Facebook with GPU acceleration Assuming they have the same price. I'm a little fall for the i3, because 1155 mobo are a bit more pricey than 1150 mobo Please answer, thanks!

Hi there, Before I continue with my question, here's my current PC build: -XFX FX-777A-ZNF4 Radeon HD 7000 Series; AMD; Radeon HD 7770; 1000 MHz; CrossFire; 2048 x 1536 pixels; 2560 x 1600 pixels (FX-777A-ZNF4) -Intel Core i3-3220 3300GHz 3MB Cache Socket LGA1155 Desktop CPU -Corsair CMX8GX3M1A1333C9 XMS3 8GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 Mhz CL9 Performance Desktop Memory Module -MSI LGA1155 u-ATX Motherboard (Intel H61, 2x DDR3, GBE, LAN) -500 WATT ATX POWER SUPPLY QUIET 20-24 PIN with SATA -LiteOn IHAS124-04 24x SATA Half Height Internal DVDRW Drive -Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive -Fractal Design Core 1000 Series Micro ATX Case In another topic I made, I made up my mind about upgrading my GPU at Christmas to a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming. That being said, I'm sure that my current CPU will bottleneck the GTX 970, so I'm going to save up now to buy a new CPU before Christmas. I was firstly thinking about upgrading my current processor to an i5 3570 (non 'K' version, because my MOBO doesn't allow OC of the CPU), or an i7 3770 (non 'K'). I wasn't sure which one to get, since the 3770 is £60 more expensive than the 3570 (in the UK). Note that both, the 3570 and the 3770 are 3rd generation Intel processors (code name: Ivy Bridge). But then I was told that I should upgrade my current motherboard so that I could have a Haswell processor, and that it would be cheaper to get too. So I started digging around the web, and found the i5 4690 and the i7 4790 (both non 'K'). Links to both: i5 4690: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-3-50GHz-Graphics-Technology-Socket/dp/B00K5J2252/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436034896&sr=8-1&keywords=4690 i7 4790: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Professional-Processor-Threading-Technology/dp/B00J56YSLM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1436034914&sr=8-2&keywords=4790 I also found out that gaming-wise, both of these processors are identical, so spending another £70 (in the UK) for the i7 4790, when all you use your PC for is gaming, would be extremely idiotic. The i7 4790 would only be superior to the 4690, when rendering videos, editing videos, and streaming (none of which I do much of). So I narrowed my search down to the 4690, but then I would need a new motherboard. This is what my question is. What motherboard should I get which will be not too expensive, and deliver good quality? (I'm looking to ideally spend no more than £40-£50 max.). But wait... After all of this, I found this cheeky guy on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00KPRWB9G?colid=2BRSRZDQYDHJG&coliid=IIDNBTYW5AW09&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl That's the i5 4690k for only £10 more than the 4690 (non 'K'). So that's a no-brainer for me. I don't know why, but the £300+ 4690k was reduced down to £170. So, which processor would you buy in this situation? Should I stay with my current MOBO, and simply buy the i5 3570, or should I upgrade my MOBO (to a cheap Haswell MOBO), and get the i5 4690, or should I upgrade my MOBO to a cheap Haswell MOBO (with overclocking for the CPU) and get the i5 4690k? Note: I was also told that I should also upgrade my PSU to a good, reliable one, but I think I'm going to refrain from that for now. Should I buy a new PSU too? I don't exactly have the budget for it right now though... Sorry for the really long topic, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, Cheers! -
I've never overclocked before and decided it's about time I try. I have a 3770K so I'm fallowing this tutorial. Simple overclocking is easy enough to understand. What I don't understand is how to test my system stability each time I change something. Linus only says to run Prime 95 for 24-48 hours. I can only amuse he means after you've dialed in your overclock. Otherwise it would take weeks to overclock if you had to do that every time you uped the CPU ratio… so how do I test for stability after each tweak?

It's time for another one of my giveaway builds, however this time I'm finally getting to have some fun myself before I launch it off to a better home. For all the OCing experience I have on X58, X99, and Z87/97 I completely missed the boat on the "golden age" of OCing -Sandy/Ivy. Now is roughly the sweet spot to buy in on used parts, CPU's have a considerable amount of life left in them, and go for roughly 50-75% of original cost w/K & X SKU's. As such, I've already purchased these components: Components already purchased/delivered: ASUS P8Z77-V LX (one bent pin) $42.99 shipped Intel Pentium G645 -Sacrificial CPU to test bent pin fix, and OC ability of the board, guaranteed not DOA $28.99 shipped x6 20x20x10mm Aluminum Heat Sinks for the VRM's $5.94 shipped Alphacool 360mm Rad & EK Res bought here on the forum for $115 shipped Kingston V300 128GB SSD -MBR corrupted, SSD might be blown itself, could do RMA if necessary, will use as game drive (file system not corrupt) -Donor from another build- x3 WD 300-500GB HDD's -donors from another build- debating RAID options To be purchased/planned purchases: 2500k, 2600k, 2700k, 3570k, or 3770k Really any of those listed for under $140 for an i5 or under $185 for an i7 is the goal. If I get a chip that bins below 4.5GHz it's going right back up on ebay where it came from. Worst case scenario if I stick to those price limits is losing out on shipping cost of resale. Swiftech MCP655, Advance LRT tubing (blue -matches board-), BitFenix fittings, XSPC or EK blocks R9 280X -minimum- EVGA 750w B2 Phanteks Enthoo Pro -painted to match board Overall Game plan: I'll have most of the components cycling through the test bench to make sure that I can repair the bent pins, and that the board/VRM's will hold up to the OCing. While all that is happening I'll be painting/mocking up the case and sourcing a GPU with various watercooling parts. I'm hoping that I can get some decent OC's going and use the build as a Cinebench rental program for neglected sandy/ivy chips :lol: . Overall budget is less than $475 from the "To be purchased" list. Don't care if they're new or used, as long as they work. If anyone has input on the various components/plan I'd appreciate it. Always could use a good sanity check.

Hi there, I'm going to buy a new gaming PC and dont kwow which cpu to choose. I got a good offer for the 3770k with ASUS P8Z77-V LX mobo so that it costs the same as the i5 4670k. I also plan to overclock them a bit (maybe 4GHz). I dont render Videos or do stuff like zipping big files or compile big programms, so hyperthredding isn't that big argument. The games I want to play are minecraft with shadermod, tomp raider, far cry 3 and bioshock infinite. What do you guys thing?

Source: http://www.techpowerup.com/186209/intel-core-i7-4960x-de-lidded.html Finally they are using Solder instead of thermal paste. Hope that this will achieve better heat transfer thus getting better overclocks! :)

Just wondering, would it be a good idea to go liquid nitro on a de-lidded 3770K or any other cpu? would it possibly damage the die, or would it yield better overclocks?

So I just got the Rampage IV Extreme and i7-4930k and after one day stress testing with stock settings to validate stability, I guess its time for some overclocking. Especially as the Rampage IV Extreme is designed for that. Just so you know, I am running a custom watercooling loop that is as good as it can get for a single cpu (EK Supremacy, 360x120x60 rad, 240x120x60 rad, dual d5s). I am completely new to x79 coming from z77 and beeing used to turn the volts to 1.4V and the multiplier up as long as its stable. But on x79 I want to go really in depth and tune every bit that can give me that 10 MHz extra clock. "enthusiasm", I guess is what its called. So what I got so far: I did only 30 minute stress tests to validate stability, but found out soon that this is really not a definite indicator. 1.) 100 MHz x 42 @ 1.200V : stable 30 minutes occt, max temps around 65°C (ambient for all testing was 20-24°C, I need to get a battery for my multimeter tomorrow) //just used as sort of a safe point to go beyond from 2.) 100 MHz x 44 @ 1.250V : bluescreen after about 5 minutes of occt , max temps still below 70°C 3.) 100 MHz x 44 @ 1.300V : stable 30 min occt, temps around 70°C (occt would stop the test because of one core exceeding 85°C, read error, so I turned "temp auto stop" off) //continued 4.) 100 MHz x 46 @ 1.400V : no crash, but as I was monitoring temps with HWMonitor and it showed over 90°C on all cores while occt showed temps still in the 70s°C, I stoped the test manually //updated HWMonitor, showed same occt-like readings, did not redo the test, as I was afraid of pushing the volts and temps to far with 1.400V 5.) 100 MHz x 46 @ 1.375V : bluescreen on windows startup //guess I did not win the top prize of the silicone lottery, no wonder chip 6.) 100 MHz x 46 @ 1.380V : bluescreen when hitting the 90% memory usage of occt 7.) 100 MHz x 45 @ 1.375V : no crash while 30 minutes of occt, but bluescreen after a few hours of web browsing BTW That testing was done with all the load line calibration left on auto (autofilled value, dependent on Vcore) //tinkering around with the baseclock... 8.) 150(.33) MHz x 30 @ 1.375V : testing still in progress, load line calibration turns Vcore to 1.432V //scary ,ram runs at 1602 MHz, kit specified for 1600 MHz test stoped as the maximum temp for CPUTIN of 85°C was exceeded, need to find out what this actually is...

So, I'm refreshing my build. New CPU, MB, and GPU... I have several configurations that I am thinking about and I need help deciding. I do a lot of gaming, and I also do a lot of production work, but gaming IS first. when I say production, I mean After Effects, Premier, and Photoshop. I get paid to do some stuff and I also do a lot of audio. #1 ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition LGA 2011 EVGA 03G-P4-2888-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti Dual Classified Superclocked Intel Core i7-4930K ~$1850 This is my first choice. Does everything I want, AND the MB comes with really good DACs for audio. #2 ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA LGA 1150 2x EVGA 03G-P4-2781-KR GeForce GTX 780 SLI Intel Core i7-4770K ~$1690 This won't be as good for production work, but it cost less and will murder any game i throw at it via 2 780s. This also has Asus' premium DACs on the MB.

Hey guys, my PC sometimes randomly crashes (loud sound error, freeze) and today it even totally shut down while being under load. I think the Vcore on my 3570k is stable/enough, but I dropped the PLL down to 1.55V (from 1.8V). So my question now is what the PLL really does and what benefit you get by under-/overvolting the PLL. I've heard it's responsible for the block frequency or something?! Thanks already and regards from Germany, Heizoel_Walther

I just saw this interesting video but I'm wondering if it's work the risk or even works. What do you guys think of it?

So for the past couple of weeks i've been trying to configure my new gaming pc. For the most part this has gone well, but i have run into a little bit of a predicament. I simply cannot choose which cpu to go with, but i've narrowed it down to 2. a haswell 4770K or a ivy-bridge 3770K. i know that the haswell takes less power but generates more heat, and the ivy-bridge requires more power but overclocks better. the other thing that makes it hard is that on microcenter.com there only like $30 appart. so if anyone could help me i would gladly appreciate it. P.S.: I do plan on overclocking the cpu. Here are the builds. Haswell CPU: Intel core i7 4770k Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme 3 Heatsink: Cooler Master Seidon 240M GPU: ASUS HD 7870 GHz Edition RAM: GSKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 750W Modular HDD: WD Blue 1TB Optical Drive: LG Black 12x BD-ROM Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Ivy-Bridge CPU: Intel Core i7 3770k Motherboard: ASROCK Z77 Extreme 6 Heatsink: Cooler Master Seidon 240M GPU: Sapphire HD 7870 RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) PSU: Corsair CX750 HDD: WD Black 1TB Optical Drive: LG Black 12x BD-ROM Case: NZXT Phantom 410
