Looking to build a ~$1000 (u.s.) machine to replace my old rig. Is it worth buying a GTX1070 for the ability to play my games from my home rig over the internet (I have great down and up speed).
Blake Baker
Would a 3570k bottleneck a 1070 hard? If so I'll probably get a 1060 6gb or 580 8gb. How many years would either one last me?
I fell asleep last night so will this be good for 1440p 144hz gaming?
Henry Kelly
I don't think so Jeff

Can anyone with a Ryzen 7 1700 paired with the wraith cooler share their stress temperatures, voltage and RPM of the cpu fan?
I get nearly 70°C @3.2GHz/1.18v doing AIDA system stability test while the cpu and case fans are running at max. Seems a bit much and doesn't really offer any OC possibility, especially since setting my RAM to run at 2933MHz adds another ~6°C

If you want to spend 350$ on a cpu for playing games you ahould probably go with 8700k
I got a Maximus IX Hero today but it doesn't want to recognize my GTX1060 which works fine in another PC. I already tried to rule out every error but it still won't work, what do I do?
Jonathan Russell
I'll second and tell you to go with the 8700k, everything else is fine.
Andrew Rodriguez
May I ask why intel?
Lucas Flores
The 8700k has a pretty significat advantage in single core performance, which is what most games use. Also better potential for overclocking.
Christopher Scott
Literal brainlet here. Is the stock 8700k = 8700?
Isaac Turner
What would be a good mobo for it? Price is non issue
Camden Gray
Yes and no. The i7 8700k differs from the 8700 in the fact that it's got an unlocked multiplyer, meaning you can overclock it. Everything else is the same.
Basically all currently available LG-1151-301 socket MBs are the same (more or less). I got the MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON for my build and I've got no complaints so far.

Buy a 6 year old workstation somewhere for a hundred bucks.
Liam Nelson
Used workstation from dell or HP from ebay. 1k is too little for serious work and since you're just a student it's ok to use used shit, its not like you're making money from your tools to begin with.
Michael Powell
I posted this in the last thread. I currently have an EVGA GTX 980Ti. I play games on a 32" 1440p screen @ 60hz. I don't intend to game at 144hz or 4k resolution any time soon. Would it benefit me to get a GTX 1080Ti for maxing 1440p 60hz? Or should I wait for the next line of cards?
Or get another used 980Ti for SLI?
Aaron Young
Why exactly should I bother with Coffeelake at all? I got a new 7600k for $198 yesterday.
Sebastian Garcia
Congratz on your new i3 cpu
Luke Perez
>Why should I buy thing when other thing is X price that I already bought?
Ok so you went against the advice of /pcbg/ and bought a non coffee lake. What do you want? Coffee lake is recommended because quad core CPUs from both sides of the fence have been shown to be not enough for certain games that can actually take full advantage of moar coars. $50 more would have gotten you an i5-8400.
Evan Watson
8400 is ~190-200 where i live and offers close to 7700k perfornance
dun goofd
Ayden Cook
Are you sure that dicrete gpu selected as default in bios instead of igd?
Kevin Thompson
Hey lads, I just finished building a computer and found out the front panel audio isn't working. I already checked the connection to the motherboard and reinstalled drivers but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there anthing else to try before assuming the MB or case are malfunctioning?
Cameron Russell
Even better. The 8400 is a really solid chip. Sucks it took AMD curb stomping Intel at every turn for them to actually start adding more cores/threads to their consumer lines.
Liam Long
Is it enabled in bios and set to correct version(hd/ac97)?
Brody Hall
should i be looking for a specific processor?
Elijah Mitchell
Is a GT 1030 good enough for a 1440p display? No gaming, just productivity. I may add a 720p second monitor.
David Rogers
>Ok so you went against the advice of /pcbg/ To be frank I didn't come here first because after 12 years on Sup Forums the first thing you learn is "don't ever listen to Sup Forums". Second, I got it on sale locally anyway so returning it is trivial. I wasn't concerned with coffee lake in the first place because the only thing I've been hearing come out of anyone's mouth, or benchmarks, is that the improvement of the Core lineup since Haswell has been completely pathetic and that going kabylake or even skylake over covfefelake would net me single digit percentile lower performance, which I don't consider to be worth $50.
If the deciding factor is "certain games" that take advantage of more cores better, which games would that be? If I don't play or plan to play them then the issue would be moot.
Owen Long
I tried checking the BIOS and couldn't find an option for it, where would it be under? It's MSI..
Grayson Bailey
In addition, the system will absolutely be overclocked. If I can't OC the 8400, that's a problem.
Mason Lewis
It doesn't even let me select a PCIe gpu in the bios.
Jordan Wright
if it's just for display output and nothing else, get a gt 610 and call it a day
Jayden Cook
There are very cheap used computers with i5 2400 now. Insert a RX 560 and you have a perfect computer for your needs for around 200 euros.
Luis Rivera
i5 8400's are out of stock everywhere. Do I get an i3 8350k or a ryzen 1600? 1080p gaming.
Daniel Walker
>gaming >amd lol
Eli Diaz

Austin Barnes
Well if overclocking is a must, the i5-8600k can be had for $280 on Newegg. My local microcenter has it for $250. As for games that support more cores, pretty much all the major titles have been shown to like more cores. The various battlefield titles, COD, GTA 5, Metro 2033/LL, DOOM, the Witcher. It's not so much the fps high, but the minimums. 4c/4t and 4c/8t chips have shown stutter in some titles not to mention very high per core could usage. My buddy's i7-4790k had 89%-100% core usage with massive fps drops in battlefield 1. This was while paired with a GTX 1070.
Overall there's no reason to NOT get coffee lake except for it's price. If you got some killer deal on your older Intel chip + motherboard as a combo, then good on you. But don't pretend there's no benefit of having more cores available. Why do you think Ryzen is so popular? If I were you and you have the money, return your current chip and get the 8600k/Z370.
Robert Reed
Yeah but you can't buy it without going over £20 for some reason.
Bentley Hughes
Do you intend to do any major editing or encoding or just intend to heavy multi tasking while gaming? Yes? The Ryzen 1600.
No? The i3.

does a h110m come with the update for kaby lake or do i have to update the bios myself? also what's the difference between h110m dvs and h110m gaming? there's not even a support for faster rams

Planning to build a computer mostly for gaming. My budget is around 900€, not including the monitor (but would be nice if someone could recommend me a good monitor for 200 to 300€). I live in Germany. Thanks
Christian Bennett
I'll look into it. If I can find a 8600k for $250 or less I might go ahead and drop the 7600k. I've got plenty of time to mull it over.
Leo Martin
Enjoy your 100% 98% 100% 99% today, not even talking about tomorrow. Also dead socket.
Evan Harris
Well technically coffee lake and Z370 will also be a "dead socket" given how Intel artificially restricts their cpu compatibility.
Colton Morris
Atleast they're good for today. Kabyshit on the other hand...
Isaac Cooper
Reminder Intelcucks are LITERALLY brain-dead soygoys.
Noah Nelson
Pls gib build for NAS
Nathan Hall
>MSI B250M PRO-VDH >Gigabyte GA-B250M-D3H Which one bros?
Also chose 8gb because I don't plan on streaming or making movies while gaming. Plus all the games I plan on getting recommend 8gb
Nathan Gutierrez
This build will get you 144fps easily with high settings in most of the games. Search for the appropriate monitor.
Jason Nguyen
Recommend any in particular?
Chase Morgan
You can save like $80 by going with a 1060 6gb which is pretty much the same or faster than that 580. 580 prices are way overpriced due to miners.
Noah James
Im thinking to get an 580, but i am between two models: >Asus RX 580 8GB STRIX GAMING OC or >RX 580 8GB GIGABYTE AORUS which one should i get, and why? i've read the asus one has better cooling and is really quiet, but there isn't a big difference with the Aorus one.
Charles Williams
>Im thinking to get Lol UMA Hehehe SOPA
Lucas Rogers
Is it worth it to spend those 70-100€ more to get the 1060 6gb over the 3 gb version?
Matthew Bailey
At that price? Probably not, no.
Hunter Cox
Should I go with USB or AC powered speakers? What are some good (preferably less than 100) desktop speakers?
Liam Cook
Fuck that just get the 3gb version if it's that big of a gap
Sebastian Hernandez
When will RAm prices go back down to normal levels?
I need some advice Obviously my system is all around bad/ancient but in an effort to play SFV I've run into an issue. My CPU sits at about 30-60% utilization (usually working about 3 cores and the 4th a little bit) and my GPU is usually about 50% utilization however despite turning the settings way down I still can't achieve a stable 60fps.
Do you think this is an issue with my GPU being ancient or the game not playing well with my CPU?
Daniel Anderson
He's half right because the demand for gpus also meant increase in demand for memory chips used in said gpus but the main culprit currently is the mobile market and shitty wields.
He's too dumb to understand things will probably not go back to how they were and will wait forever instead of getting the shit he needs now.
Brandon Lopez
>$1,099
Connor Johnson
Uhhhhhh I bought an I5 7600k a month ago, and it seems fine
What's the issue
Anthony Fisher
Five or six fps, usually.
Jonathan Hughes
there are just better alternatives available for the same money. 7600k was outdated the moment ryzen came out
