Anniversary Edition Questions

[D00B3R95]

1. Is it worth to buy the AsRock Z97 Anniversary & The Pentium G3258 Clocked @ 3.2 GHz? AsRock claims, that you can overclock it to 4.2 GHz. (Has anyone even tried it?)

 

2. Can i pair the Z97 Ann. with some HyperX Fury 8GB Dual-Channel CL10 RAM @ 1600 MHz? 

 

3. Are there 3.5 > 5.25 adapters existing?

Games these days will need at least a quad core. Get at least a Core i3

Do CS:GO, Gmod Fallout NV & 3 and The Forest Require a Quad core? No.

It'll work just fine but you're better off getting a better cpu if you're paying for a z97 board. 

4.2ghz is the bare minimum. It should be very easy to go much higher.

Actually, in many places in the UK Its only £5 or £10 more, cheaper than most H and B Series boards.

A hyperthread is not a cpu core.

It is very good for the price, you should be able to run 4.4 24/7 ON stock.

A hyperthread is not a cpu core.

Core i3 is a dual core with HT, not a true quad like a Core i5, but the extra thread can fool games that refuses to run on a dual core.

Not sure what you mean by that last bit, on my G3258 (Which I absolutely hated in triple a games) In those games it is very easy to run, where single core is more important, it is when it coems to having a stream or ideo running it gets slow.

99% of users who gets the G3258 is for the unlock multiplier. If the G3258 is like any other Pentium. Do you think anyone will even bother to get one? If has the same amount of cache as any other Pentium, lacks turbo boost, and official ram is only up to 1066MHz, but the ram shouldn't matter since Z97 boards supports XMP so your ram can go beyond the official specs.

I am very familiar with overclocking this pentium.

Pentium G3258 is a toy and is not a cpu anyone right now should get, especially when they're building it for games.

You know how to OC, well then congrats.

There are 5.25" to 4x 3.5 drive bays for hdds or ssd

And 3.5" to 5.25" brackets for hdds

What are you trying to install

Unless you want a hot swap bay then the one that came with your case will still fit after the drive is installed.

A Scythe Kaze Q Fan controller, I want it so i can adjust the fans without opening the case.

[D00B3R95]

Or, should i just make holes into one of the plates?

This should work then.
