anyone know what the heck was going on?
>>60305731
massdrop or ebay, maybe?
I was thinking about getting a 7600k over a Ryzen 1600x. Should I do it or just wait for the next "tick" from Intel when it jumps to 10nm?
>>60305731
>apr 4
why does it matter? it was right before R5 launch, so someone dropped warehouse knowing well enough that R5 will sell like crazy and it did
>>60305790
No, get 1600, or 2600. Intel has nothing but new housefires incoming.
>>60305790
if youa re ready to wait for mid 2019, wait
don't be a retard and get 1600x, it's 7700K without downsides of i5 and overpricing of i7
>>60305803
I thought this just affected 7700k. But I definitely won't get a kaby lake just out of caution.
>>60305811
What is coming in mid 2019?
>>60305844
Zen+ with more meme cores.
>>60305731
Overpriced by $135
I really wish I could grab one of these that cheaply....:(

lmao what the fuck

>intel gen 6xxx 7xxx are literally housefire
>amd apu used to be housefire but then rykek did it right
more cores are more efficient these days. I'd stick to gen 2xxx/3xxx intel which are pretty cheap now or rykek although rykek should be better if you plan on getting vega/navi with radeon instinct.
no. I didn't fall for the gaymer meme.
>>60305790
I'd say both AMD and intel are competing price wise right now, so unless you can wait a couple of years for the significant increase in technology it's not a bad time to buy.
>>60305803
>not delidding for temp drop
>>60305894
Eh, the older I get the more time seems to fly by. I can wake up tomorrow and it will literally be >2019
>>60305731
I would definitely go for the Ryzen 1700. Much better multi thread performance and more corew/threads. Lower temp because of reasonable clock speeds (and not the housefire Intel pushes these days). Can buy a cheap B350 motherboard and still overclock.
>AMD
>>60305949
Except now AMD is 8 Machamps(maybe slightly lower level).
>>60305941
Yeah, definitely interested in lower temperatures for a tiny itx build.
can only find Biostar selling itx am4 build on pcpartpicker.
Want to stream, use adobe premiere, and game.
>>60305949
Except i7 is exactly like i5 with four Ditto disguised as Machoke
>>60305984
For those use cases the ryzen will be a better choice. Itx boards are not available yet. I would honestly just cut the waiting and get a micro ITX build if you didnt already get a mini board.
>>60306003
Mini ITX case*
>>60305984
>>60305790
10nm will be slower than 14nm.
>>60305731
get the 1700
>>60305926
>ever fucking delidding
Kike pls gas yourself.
>>60306021
I have yet to get the case but I'd like small form factor for portability and sleek design.
I know only one m.2 slot and one pci slot may be a bad call for the future but I think I'll be fine until I build a newer rig.
looking at this Thermaltake CORE V1 Snow , will forgo liquid cooling with decent temps.

>>60306031
I know you shouldn't have to, and intel's slobbish with the TIM, but OC already voids the warranty, unless you buy the separate OC warranty, on K chips.
People 3D print tools to easily and safely remove the lid, and then you can put some decent (non-mayonnaise) paste in there without air bubbles.

>7700k
>>60305790
>7600k
7600k seems like a joke to me
4 coars is a retarded idea in 2017, even more so when it's lacking HT. According to some synthetic benchmarks my 3770k (4cores/8threads) beats it clock-to-clock.
Not to mention the housefire
>>60305949
This made sense when Bulldozer was around, now it just makes you look like a dumbass shill. Which you are. Kill yourself.
>>60305844
Intel's Coffee Lake-S 6 cores won't be anything but housefire tier if you try and OC them. They won't go over 3.7 GHz base, either.
