Re: full FX 6300 review including overclocking... anyone?

I'm not centric to the FX 6350, the problem was I couldn't find a full review of either cpu, I suspect (could be wrong) that the TDP ratings for both cpu's were more a result of stock clock rates than the nature of the chip itself given they are almost identical. with this in mind a 6300 or a 6350 ...

Re: full FX 6300 review including overclocking... anyone?

The FX 6350 is still a 125 watt cpu at the end of the day. Why compare that to a 8350. It's a hot cpu too! OP. Your much better off getting a 6300 @ 95w and overclock it. Less heat at higher clocks, and multitasks just fine. Secondly, its 20 dollars less than a 6350. Take that savings and invest in ...

Re: Help with CPU choice

Excellent monitor choice for gaming, you will be amazed by the high refresh rate, it's something that has to be seen to be believed. Been 120hz for a year or so and would never go back. I have been looking to upgrade my monitor for the last year. I'm always setting a budget for pc parts. After this...

Re: Help with CPU choice

If a significant overclock for Haswell is the goal here, then wouldn't uncapping the IHS so you can replace the TIM be more important then going with water and stuff? The two methods for achieving this would not be fun. The razor blade or a vice. I heard deliding is mostly for overclocking enthusia...

Re: Help with CPU choice

A second rad couldn't hurt to include the GPUs in the loop. You might be able to pull it off with just 1 240mm rad but it would be for the best to have 2. When I had the i5 750 and GTX 295 in the same loop, I had 1 240mm modded into the front intake of an Antec 900 with another 120mm rad on my rear...

Re: Help with CPU choice

I would go with the XSPC option rather than the AIO system. For one, it's cheaper, and secondly, it's a higher-quality cooling system. Plus, you can throw a couple of waterblocks on your 760's and have a reallllly nice full-water system. My last rig had an i5 750 on water with a 2PCB GTX 295 on wat...

Re: Help with CPU choice

I would go by the GPU's TDP or actual power consumption numbers instead of the "recommendation" (since Nvidia/AMD has to account for lower quality units). The GTX 780 is 265W with boost, and most GPU power draw these days are on the 12V. So 265/12 = 22amps. Add the fan, RAM, and other ele...

Re: Help with CPU choice

Buying a separate NIC is foolish and wasteful. It's not going to work any better than the Intel I217-V on a motherboard with the Lynx Point chipset. You're just not going to build a single-GPU gaming system with a Haswell processor that needs a 1200 watt power supply. Even with a power-hungry Sandy...

Re: Help with CPU choice

To the OP, If you think a Intel or 8350 cpu upgrade is going to change your frame latencies I think you are going to be dissapointed. I would first upgrade your GPU to a 770 with its 256 memory bus and high memory bandwidth, you would be jumping up over the 660 ti, 670, 680, to the 770 that is a 68...

Re: Help with CPU choice

NOT a SINGLE FX processor is designed to run with all cores on, and in WFO mode for any length of time, and yet we adjust the FX processor to run just that way and call it merely overclocking. It is far away from just a plain overspeeding of the cpu, it is hammering the cpu and circuits with ALL co...
