    X99 Gaming Build

    Very compelling argument....I see what you mean now. I think I will return the mobo for now and consider waiting for skylake or going the 4790k route, thanks.

    Rig for video editing and rendering?

    Yeah you could save some money by going with the X99-A, if putting your card it in the #1 x16 slot blocks your x1 then you can just simply move it to your #2 x16 without any issues.

    X99 Gaming Build

    I work from home and this is my home office setup so work and gaming are about 50/50 with 100% of my time spent on this computer, I don't feel like my aging 920 is cutting it anymore and if I am building a new system why would I opt for an outdated system just to save some money? I update my...

    Rig for video editing and rendering?

    In your budget range you could get away with this: I7-5820K: http://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-core-i7-5820k-3-60ghz-six-c4-100097-1342.htm G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 16GB 4X4GB DDR4: http://www.ncix.com/detail/g-skill-ripjaws-4-16gb-4x4gb-a7-101221.htm ASUS X99 Deluxe...

    The difference is that the 5820k is the new Haswell-E architecture where the 4930k is the slightly older Ivy Bridge-E arch. The 5820k build which uses the X99 chipset is going to be more expensive as everything is new and the DD4 it requires is still at a high price premium.

    X99 Gaming Build

    I do a lot of gaming at 1440p as well as programming and light graphic manipulation, so most of the power here is for my O/C pleasure and gaming. Motherboard: MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (purchased) Processor: 5820K Memory: Suggestions? Video: GTX 980 (no plans for SLI) Cooling: EK X360 Complete...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Hard to say some projects take only a few seconds to compile, some take minutes and longer. The biggest one I have is a cross platform compile for 4 architectures that takes around 10 minutes. I know my IDE supports multithreaded compiling...

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    This system is used mostly for programming, lots of compiling / open windows, etc. I also game with it so a boost to either would be nice.

    The Offical - Who is buying a Haswell-E 5960X, 5930K or 5820K Thread

    Any idea on the % of performance increase I would see on an upgrade from the system in my sig? Is 200% hoping for too much?

    Tribes Ascend Keys

    Pathfinders are all about speed for capping flags and chasing other cappers. Play the Rabbit mode for a while and just focus on going as fast as possible..the smallest decline on the map will give you a few km/h. What I normally do is pick up about 150-180 then find a steep mountain face to ski...

    Tribes Ascend Keys

    I regularly break 300, I had 310 my last game and got the little achievement, "Gone to plaid". Also had a 260km/h flag grab and got, "That. Just. Happened.". Keep in mind I am using a fully upgraded pathfinder. Keys: V26CF-995E2-22E04-CD4AF-9C7E9 V234B-397F8-B3134-470AE-9F0AE...
