Need help for finding a test bench

misthosg

So I am going to be doing a dual cpu build, and I need some sort of test bench that will fit an eATX motherboard. Does anyone know of one?

Help is greatly appreciated.

Build: CPU: i7-4790k @4.4 GHz 1.2v | GPU: Sapphire R9 380 Nitro | Memory: 16GB Evga SSC | Storage: 250GB 850 Evo, 1 TB Toshiba HDD | Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7  | Cooling: Aigo T120 RGB | Case: NZXT S340 | PSU: Antec HCG 520w | OS: Windows 10 | Keyboard: Corsair K70, Cherry MX Reds | Mouse: Logitech G600 | Monitor: LG 27UD58-B | Headset: Audio-Technica M40x w/ Modmic and Bravo Audio V2 Tube Amplifier

Do you really need a dual CPU build?

the HAF XB EVO can technically fit one, but it's not made for it

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

It's really cost effective, and its fun to do something new.

New stuff can also end up being a waste of money lol, especially given your current build, how much were you going to spend on this? and were you following linus's video suggestions about old xeon stuff?

I was going to spend about 50 bucks on 2 processors, and 40 bucks on a motherboard, and 20 bucks on 16 gb of ram. Yes, I have seen Linus' video.

If you were going for cheap you might as well just mount it to a block of wood, although really I'd maybe just save and get a whole new PC

I decided, due to mainly the potential of compatibility issues to just get a 4790k and a z97. I would get a 4690k but its out of stock at my local microcenter and the 4790k is really cheap anyways
