    Upgrading to the 8700k after 7 years. Advice on this build please. $2,000+

    Thank you. Good tip on the ram! RAM seems like such a scam these days - timings, latency, ghz - all meaningless for Intel gamers. You delid your 7700k? It was safe? HTC Vive worth it?

    Upgrading to the 8700k after 7 years. Advice on this build please. $2,000+

    Salvaging some parts from my current system to upgrade to the Z370 / 8700k that's coming soon. Want to pick up some parts in the meantime and wanted to get advice on the parts that I've selected. Considering to buy new CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K Six-Core Processor ($400.00) Thermal Compound...

    Digital Radio / Speaker

    No unfortunately not. He's elderly and would need something that's a bit more tangible :) Big buttons that he cant press on a physical device, etc

    Digital Radio / Speaker

    Hello, Bit of an odd requirement :) Looking for a radio for my dad who wants to listen to an international radio station outside. I want to have it setup where he can turn the device on / off and select a pre-configured station via the device. The station is not available locally on AM / FM...

    Advise on overclocking 980x / Asus P6T

    Thanks for your help guys. I've set it at 4.239ghz (27 multi x 157blk) now which appears quite stable at 1.3875 vcore. Also increased the PLL two notches. I've seen others running at 1.4v+ so I feel okay with this much juice! The increase has impacted the temps by around +9c but still tipping...

    Well I did one burnin pass at 4ghz at maximum and it passed. Need to go for 10 to be sure but looking stable so far with games or anything. 8 year old machine no less. Max temps were 72c on 2 cores. Quite amazing how nice this system is at this point :) I'm going for 4.2ghz as my 24/7 target...

    Advise on overclocking 980x / Asus P6T

    Thank you I will try to 168bclk without increasing voltage tonight. I don't expect to have this CPU for that much longer - maybe 2-4 years so I'm not that worried about risking shortening its life. Using a big thermal take heat sink with dual fans like this: Idle its 25-35c at 4ghz

    Advise on overclocking 980x / Asus P6T

    Yeah I think 70c-ish is normal for this. From pushing this more, I remember that it doesn't get any hotter than 80 and ends up crashing instead. Any tips on what I can try next to get it to 4.2? Also I've seen some guys set the vcore to 1.4v+. Is that okay?

    Thank you. I've OC'd to 4ghz now and pass Intel's burn in. I've set the ram to XMP profile @ 1600mhz. Temps are a little higher than advertised however. Any tips?

    Advise on overclocking 980x / Asus P6T

    Hello My old 980x CPU is starting to show its age and I'd like to overclock at this point to something very stable over the long term. Ive overclocked before to 3.8ghz but I'd like to go s little higher now if possible. I've read people hitting 4.3-4.5ghz but I'm doubtful if that's going to be...
