RAM: Enough. You just don't want to run out. RAM speed is very rarely useful, but obviously doesn't hurt. CPU clock speed: Irrelevant by itself. Instructions Per Clock vs the clock speed is important. # of cores on CPU: Depends on your programs. You appear to use many, which makes more cores =...

Thanks, I'll take a look at it when I get off work. I can't wait to squeeze every bit of performance from this CPU :D

So my 1800X looks pretty much identical to that at complete stock. Didn't have much time to play with it yesterday :( But what are the cool kids using to monitor temps? I did a bit of searching, and it appears 1700X and 1800X doesn't have per-core-temp, and all HWMonitor reported were TMPIN1,2...

Can't wait :) I get to build a few 1700-1800X machines, and in return, I get one for myself. It's like I'm getting paid to have fun :D

Literally all that's holding me back :) Expected stock on friday, expected delivery monday/tuesday. Motherboard already have AM3+ mounting, don't have to wait for Noctua to ship me AM4 :)

CSGO actually benefits from having a quad core, per my own testing. It's not so heavy on the GPU.

If it handles that, it will most likely handle a GTX 1070 as suggested. Remember, the original Steambox was an i7+GTX Titan with a 450W PSU :) However I wanna state that your motherboard doesn't support overclocking, you'd need a Z-chipset, not H. Not sure how you'd get 4.3GHz besides BLCK...

If it's mounted, it's seen by Windows as a normal DVD. Hold Start and press "E", then you can see all your drives. Or you can open it directly with something 7zip, as if it were a zip-file.

That's the most current version atm. .576 -> .693 should be a 1GB update, as far as I can see. So it makes sense.

The performance of the A12-9700P is between the two 15-Watt processors A10-9600P and FX-9800P, and therefore roughly on par with a 15-Watt Core i3 from the Skylake or Kaby Lake series, respectively. Compared to the Intel model, the AMD chip has a small advantage in multi-thread scenarios, but is...

You sure he bought 5th gen i3 in 2012? It was released in 2015 :D Must be 3rd gen, or you're talking about the GPU specifically. If 3rd gen: I would look in to a 4 core / 8 thread Ryzen CPU, a motherboard and 16GB+ RAM. Maybe throw in an SSD for the OS. Should be way less than $700. If 5th gen...

What build is it? I have both 14393.0 and 14393.479 ISOs, which are around 4GB exact. The latter downloaded this weekend.

Damn, all that data collecting takes space :D Edit: Not sure if insider builds are different, just looked since I'm slacking at work :)

Did you make a 32 and 64 bit ISO?

1.4v seems excessively high for a Skylake CPU, mate. If I recall correctly, Intel made some significant changes from Sandy/Ivy in terms of voltage. I recently built a PC with i7-6700K and did 4.5GHz with 1.25v

It obviously won't affect performance one bit. I'm talking about consumer clarity and consistency. And because it's an i5, it's not necessarily going to be cheaper than all i7s. Plenty non-K i7s cheaper than unlocked i5s. This is an unlocked i5 with HT. The cost is the same, regardless of what...

I like to live life dangerously, I don't use an anti virus. But I do use a completely different computer with Linux/barebone W7 for sketchy software / links :)

Since you clearly didn't understand me, let me put it in another way: Please don't make a desktop i7 and call it an i5.

Thanks :) It's a lovely PC, I just hate the fact that the motherboard doesn't allow manual voltage. Only auto. I've never bought an MSI motherboard since then.

So I might actually need mine this weekend. Been dusting it off and throwing my sysprepped Win7 on it. Intel i5-2500K @ stock - Coolermaster Seidon 120V Kingston HyperX 4x4GB 1600MHz MSI Z77A-G45 XFX AMD HD 6950 2GB Corsair Force LE 240GB / Seagate Barracuda 1TB Coolermaster SilentProM...
