Gtx 1060 6gb, loading at 40c in furmark. I got stuttering on 64p servers when there was alot going on. Cpu load was 100% on the i5 4670k, Now its around 65% with the i7 4790k, and stuttering is gone.

>>57713950
If the games/applicatoins support more than 4 threads, the differance is obvious. The i7 runs a good deal faster aswell @ stock, and overclocks alot better than the i5 I had.

Cases are way more expensive than regular ATX ones, while the price difference of MBs are kinda negligible, while having slightly more functionality.

>having a better quality psu smarter than having a huge expensive case.
Since when have higher wattage PSUs become better quality?

You can provide 1000w but if the voltage regulation is garbage you still bought a shit PSU.

I have a 600w titanium rated PSU because my system doesn't draw over 450w and a PSU is usually only providing 50-100w during idle use or Web browsing, a 1000w PSU trying to provide 50w will generally have an efficiency of 70%, sometimes even lower. Whereas my titanium unit is 90% efficient at 50w power draw.

>>57719828

I'd say so, every brands cards look so non-neutral this time around. Evga looks the best imo, but thermal pad bs.

Recently replaced the thermal paste I've been using on my 6700k die with liquid metal, temps have dropped significantly

>>57722650
Which brand did you use ?
Any link ? Any application tips ?

I got a 4k monitor. What am I in for when I try to use it with an i3 6100 and no discrete gpu? I'm getting a 1060 next year, but it's not a priority for me.

You gotta be really careful when spreading, the shit's incredibly conductive. Unlike thermal paste, more is better

>>57723020
Why did you do that
1060 can't push 4k and the 6100 shouldn't really be pushing that res but you should be fine

I'm not a huge gamer and I don't mind playing the few games that I'm into at 1080p. The monitor was really just for productivity and future proofing.

Are you saying something could go wrong if I use a 6100 to edit text and browse the Internet at 4k for a few months?

>>57723255
No not really just watch out for the heat output
And you do realize that if you run 1080p on a 4k monitor it looks much much worse than 1080p on a native monitor right?

>Since when have higher wattage PSUs become better quality?

Since never really, but if you have a good performing series of psu's, I'll bet the 1000w can deliver more power longer than say a 650w (psu degrade over time) as it uses components meant to be under higher loads.

Also, I dont know what my next setup will be, if I get some powerhungry shit im ready.

About efficiency, I'll bet you are 100% correct, but I dont really care, power is included in my rent.

I whould love to have gotten the Corsair ax860i instead (actually had it a few years ago, traded it off with a friend) or some other platinum/titanium psu, but the psu prices went up like fucking mad a couple of years back in my country, like doubled. So grabbed this one pretty cheap on sale.

>if I get some powerhungry shit im ready
Have you ignored the previous decade or so of computing?

Power use is down across the board, CPUs, GPUs, RAM, etc.

Idle power draw is even lower, my computer can idle around 30-40w and I have a 140w TDP CPU with a 150w GPU.

Unless you're literally setting up a server in the next few years, its just a waste, and further if you DO setup something needing that high power, i'd hope you'd upgrade to something higher quality.


And the fact you get your electricity in your rent is nice for you wallet, but you're still using the electricity and SOMEONE is paying for it, not to mention the added carbon footprint.

Haha get fucked with that shit you hipstonian nigger.

My next setup will be Zen. and probably AMD gpu aswell. And I'll overclock it to hell and back.

Either way Im not buying a new psu anytime soon. Techpowerup tested the v750 and it performed very well, and when I bought the v1000 I couldnt find any bad words on the series anywhere.

>>57728506
Actually, on your carbon footprint note.. I live in Norway, pretty much all our power is water generated. I dont drive a car, I dont even take the buss. My legs work so I walk or bike.

I'll let my psu be inefficient.

>>57728673

Future Plans in this order:
>Crossfire GPUs (Waiting for Vega to see if it's worth upgrading or might just get another R9 290 if they're cheap enough)
>new motherboard (This one is more than fine except it only supports crossfire, not SLI and it clashes with my future color scheme plans
>New motherboard means new CPU

>Entering the olympics

>Full circuit liquid cooling

I want the full circuit so bad but I can't see it happening anytime soon.

>>57734256
Its always better to get a single more powerful newer GPU, than it is to run two older GPUs in SLI or crossfire.

Multi-GPU is simply not that great and you should ALWAYS avoid it if you have the choice, unless you're running a massive 4k setup or 144hz 1440p, multi-GPU just isn't worth it.

>not to mention the added carbon footprint.

Yeah nigga, just buy a new made in china PSU and throw that shit out

>Crossfire GPUs
No, don't do that. Crossfire support has been shit for about 2 years now and a 290 is too slow to be worth CF anyway - single GPU cards exist that are essentially as fast as 290 CF, but with more VRAM and without all of the mGPU issues. You 650W PSU also wouldn't really be enough for 290 CF, I ran 290X CF and my system pulled 700-800W in games, not in unrealistic stress tests.

If you want more performance buy a 1070/1080 or wait to see what Vega brings to the table, but under no circumstance go for CF. Multi-GPU in general is only ever worth it if the fastest single GPU card (excluding $1500 Titans and shit) isn't fast enough.

>unless you're running a massive 4k setup or 144hz 1440p, multi-GPU just isn't worth it
Exactly this and I say it while actually running multi-GPU.

Better airflow?

Message received. Definitely waiting for Vega then since I've had nothing but bad luck with NVIDIA. Always either a defective card, or underwhelming performance.

Yeah the airflow is nice. Currently, I pull air in from the front and suck it out from the top and back and nothing goes above 40C (GPU hits 62C at the most) so I have no complaints and the R9 290 can still handle most games at near max settings 1080p@60 too. I'm just starting to crave aesthetic.

Good, a lot of people seem to get fixated on the whole "upgrade to mGPU later" idea and don't want to see just how terrible a choice it is.

As for full tower cases, I got mine because they're easier/more pleasant to work in and allow better and easier wire management. I have more shit in my system too I guess, but I was tired of having to remove graphics cards to get to a HDD and shit like that. Now I've got a full tower case and it's pretty roomy with 2 graphics cards, a sound card and CPU water cooling.

Why do that to yourself

are silent cases a meme? thinking of getting new case and was leaning toward the R5 Define, but the HAF 912 is like half the price after rebate, though it looks much more ugly imo.

Is the noise reduction of a silent case make much of a difference under load?

>though it looks much more ugly imo
there's your answer
the case is one of the only components in a build where aesthetics matters just as much as function

>>57738978
So many people forget this it's unbelievable. The case is the part of the computer that's going to be seen the most, why the fuck wouldn't you want one that looks good?

>>57739054
I keep mine under my desk desu, pretty much every case is ugly as fuck.

Who wants a big black slab on their desk?
