PCPartpicker says you cant use that CPU cooler with the motherboard soooooo...

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Since when did no compatibility stop a pc builder? It'll be fine

/s

 

He probably looked into that and it probably either works or he can request socket as it came out like a year ago that particular cooler.

600Mhz base clock difference, £180 price difference. Is there anything else different ? Just curious.

From pure price points the 1700X seems to be the best price/performance.

My baby: CPU - i7-4790, MB - Z97-A, RAM - Corsair Veng. LP 16gb, GPU - MSI GTX 1060, PSU - CXM 600, Storage - Evo 840 120gb, MX100 256gb, WD Blue 1TB, Cooler - Hyper Evo 212, Case - Corsair Carbide 200R, Monitor - Benq  XL2430T 144Hz, Mouse - FinalMouse, Keyboard -K70 RGB, OS - Win 10, Audio - DT990 Pro, Phone - iPhone SE

Fair enough, I just cant justify the extra cost :D 1st time I looked at this from this perspective.

PS. Hope u are aware of RAM issue. Currently limited to 4x 2400Mhz (they work on the fix as we speak).

i haven't seen any other reports other than that initial one on the wan show. even if it is an issue as long as it works initially i don't mind.

 

as for overclocking ill let the XFR deal with that initially maybe go for a manual one later if i have some free time to dial one in.

 

also thought i would add that the Asus Crosshair VI Hero supports am3 coolers.

 

if you look at the AM4 mount you should notice a second set of holes for older am3/+ coolers

The demand was probably larger than expected, they simply bought less hardware than they expected to sell and now that they re-order more some like you will have to wait a little longer.

They're slightly different (Tech City did a video on it I think), but zip-ties solve everything. :P

well after looking at the benchmarks and as this computer will just be doing games i have decided to cut costs for the time being and go for an i7-7700k and a maximus 8 hero. give developers time with ryzen before actually switching to the platform. can a mod (if they read this) please change the title to "My new gaming build")
