Ok, it's not really a gift.

I'm just getting the Intel Employee discount.

$545 USD for 6900K.

Cheaper than 1800k. I prefer to go with the already tested tech. I'm afraid of the X370 mobos. They are new and might be fucky.

also why the fuck are your prices 50% higher than mine? that asrock taichi is $209.99

>>59253044

Ok which one should I pick then? I don't give a shit about Wifi and Bluetooth. Also won't SLI. But I want a quality product, and I want to slightly OC the CPU. My fan will be NH-D15s so probably OC up to 4.0GHZ

>Motherboard reviews
How. Who the fuck in their right mind cares. Does the mobo smell like shit instead of butter? It's a slightly darker color of black than one expected? Are the RGB gamer lights not as bright as they should be? What the fuck are motherboard ratings supposed to be.

kek'd

>>59253073
Well anyways don't refer to Newegg product reviews. They're for retards. Look online.

>>59253047
buy ryzen

anyways, to answer your question i have the asus x99a-3.1 and it's fine after updating to the newest bios. anything you buy today will probably already be running it so your memory should be stable.

That's what a few other people told me with confidence, but I looked it up online and the reviews are bad.

>>59253126
Quad-channel RAM though. Also tested tech. I'm not sure if X370 mobos are reliable yet.

This is a Workstation PC I'm building. Not Gaming PC.

>>59253073
Start with Toms Hardware, they cover alot of angles. Find a couple that have or can do what you want what you want. Sesrch those up a little make sure theres at least somewhat of a consensus.

Thats how I chose my msi sli pls z270.

It was cheapest at the time, was performing the exact same as the majority of z270 boards and has been rock solid, I run 3200mhz DDR 4 and 4.7ghz cpu. Doesn't miss a beat.

Good luck!

It's designed for workstation and power users. Expansions and upgrades, everything you could ever need outside of Optane meme.

Maybe the 1star reviews are from ppl who don't know how to update the bios?

my thought exactly, which is why I asked. that's not even a real review.

Why would you buy into X99 during the last five months of its lifetime?

Sell it, wait for X299.

Strix X99 Gaming can do 128GB with 8 dimm slots. Works too.

>>59253306
Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro work best with i7. AE prefers clock speed rather than core count. A balance of both is best, so 6900K is my choice.

>>59253311
I can't wait 5 months. Have projects lined up.

>Ok which one should I pick then? I don't give a shit about Wifi and Bluetooth. Also won't SLI.

asrock taichi is pretty decent for the price, 2 gbit lan ports, but you're severely limited on pcie lanes (x16/x16 or x16/x8/x8 on 40 lane cpu, or x16/x8 or x8/x8/x8 on 28 lane cpus)

if you really don't give a shit about anything then just get literally whatever mobo has whichever sound and lan you like (the choices usually are realtek or soundblaster, and intel or 'killer nic' for lan), x99 isn't that shit of a chipset and all mobos are basically identical on the low end

>>59253393
use what you already have.

Don't buy ASRock X99, my Extreme6 has really buggy UEFI BIOS.

go with an asus X99

Do you think they are really going to be that much better?

There is barely any difference between 5960x and 6900k. Are we somehow going to get a 8 core processor that goes up to 4.2GHz?

I'd fabricate my own

Strix X99 Gaming, I have it.
Bluetooth, Wi-fi, u.2, m.2 USB 3.1 A +C list goes on.
It has a hefty amount of stuff going on.

I've read about many of them being defective though, so that's most likely why low reviews.
If you get one that's working, it's a good mobo.

ASRock Taichi. It's a solid board.

It's got the second highest rating next to the EVGA classified.

Those are the only 2 boards that aren't loaded with problems.

>>59252937
Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? I've never seen such universally awful motherboards from basically every manufacturer.

Is it a socket issue? Chipset issue with X99?

>>59253457
You should RMA it. That's supposedly the third or 4th highest rated board. Sounds like you got a lemon.

>>59254754
>I've read about many of them being defective though

That's exactly why I'm paranoid about my mobo purchase. I've figured everything else out, only mobo is left.

My direct experience with MSI SLI Plus has been horrible too. It probably was defective. USB and RAID problems.

Strix X99 Gaming and DELUX II are my top choices now, but I'm just afraid of defective units.

>>59254742
Actually lul'd

>>59254828
Looks like cheap power regulator issues. The boards that go with simple hardware are having the least amount of problems.

>>59252995
implying the 370 so far are being the absolute top....

only the taichi is relatively in a good shape and that should tell a lot ITS AN ASROCK

>>59254864
Find the EVGA classified. It has the top rating. I think Newegg sold out so it won't show up.

A lot of those reviews are legit problems. Like ram slots randomly dying. Mobo goes into restart loops. Randomly corrupted bios. Etc etc.

>>59252937
>>You are given a 6900K as a gift
sell it and buy Ryzen. 6900K is fucking garbage.

>>59254938
No. Because no one knows. AMD has applied serious pressure to Intel. They'll have to spend serious capitol on improving their lineup.

The 6800k and the 5820k differences were rectified with a 6% overclock. That's some serious bullshit.

>>59254938
5960x and 6900k was just a die shrink. Skylake-X should be better than that since it's a new arch. The reason to wait isn't really for the performance imo but instead not buying into what is going to soon be a dead platform in a few months.

>>59254975
>>59254991
>>59255038

Ok so hold on... I actually have a pretty decent laptop that I can work on for a while.

Are you saying that it might be a better idea to just wait until the new intel processors come out in August?

What if after that I have to wait even more until Adobe gets its shit together and make After Effects and Premiere Pro optimized to work with the new tech?

In other words, isn't a $545 deal on 6900K not worth it now?

>>59255079
Adobe doesn't need to change anything. I don't know the details of the retail edge program so it could be you're going to be waiting even longer for them to offer it for Skylake-X? Like some others have said, for what you're doing, just reselling it and getting a 1700 is what I would do.

>>59254938
well for skylake e i'm thinking yes there might be major improvements since looking at how big it is they have a LOT of room to position cores and cache better and the pressure on them to put more R&D into development with ryzen rivaling a 6900k

>>59255079
>isn't a $545 deal on 6900K not worth it now?

It's only worth it because of it's current over-inflated price, so you can resell it. Not so much worth it anymore from an actual price/performance standpoint.

I just fear Ryzen. It's not tested yet for what I do. I want the best performance I can get for Adobe AE and Premiere Pro as a few big contracts are coming my way soon.

Just want to play safe.

How about I build the 6900K system and sell it in a year if the new Intel processors are really going to be that much better?

Since I'm buying the 6900K half the price, I won't lose too much by sell the system in only a year.

>>59255266

Would make sense if I was a 3D artist and used Maya / C4D / 3Dmax

But not for adobe.

>>59255253
>>59255308
You posted here because you know how shitty and unreliable x99 boards are. Ryzen isn't going to be any worse.

If you want reliability then you go server grade. Also Intel makes the i7 equivalent in Xeon form. It's it E5-1680v4/3 or E5-1660v4/3
