I'm following right now, looks amazing. Will you post pictures of the progress and final build with some benchmarks and overclocking numbers? :D

Edit : saw your post right after I posted mine, good to know! :)

Will you give us temps aswell? For CPU/GPU when OC and at stock? Voltages too?

I don't get AMD builds especially when cheaper and better intel offerings are available...

Good luck with the build though.

remember that there are situations where an 8370 is faster than an i5.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

You wanna hear a joke? People who insult others with the "you wanna hear a joke?"insult.

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Ahh a AMD FX build, i always think of them special because their different and not money people have FX cpus. It's even more special if it's like a FX 9xxx cpu.

for games?

 

Why do you automatically assume all he's going to do with it is game?

he asked if there was a intel cpu for 130 dollars that outperformed the 8350 , and i said that at least in games that cpu is the i3.

 

What is your problem?

Who said I have a problem? I'm just saying assuming it's going to be just for gaming is wrong.

The problem is you have cherry picked an almost three year old game.

 

It's far broader than F1 2013, sigh.
