thx - finally back after a nightmare with my motherboard being lost in the post..... got another, installed last night. Quick first thoughts, so far, runs great - silent and relatively cool.. did quick inital overclock, already sitting at 4.2ghz @ 1.375v (although cpuz reports 1.4), with LLC 3...

I did: CMR16GX4M2C3000C15 Its on there - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK#support-mem-14 All be it, that references rev 4.31, and had 5.32 delivered - but wasnt to know that untill I received the deilver today - Still Hynix chips from what i can see, hopefully will be fine.

So, after 7-8 years, im finally ditching LGA1155, following picking up a few decent deals on Black Friday and a bit of cash burning a hole in my pocket (also my 8 year old mobo is starting to be a bit funny with my ssd's, and cold booting once in a while). Had a i5 2500k all the way through from...

I had a 2500k on a TRUE 120 - and I could never get that beyond 4.5 @ 1.4v ish - that said my temps topped out at like 75 degrees. Now running 2700k @ 4.7 / 1.38V for 24/7 usage, but that is on a Arctic Freezer 240 AIO, never really breaks 65 degrees now.

Disagree - i commute by motorbike in the UK in to London, and passing between cars daily i see easily 5+ people every 1 hour journey on the phone.... half of those people are drifting between lanes, not moving properly with traffic or just plain being stupid. Sure there will always be idiots...

If you have a firetv for example - and have access to the Android Market on it (not hard to achieve) - then you can just use the native android app that is realeased to give you steam link functionality (just take a look on android market to get an idea). Also works on some android powered tvs...

Your very similar to me - i switched from a 2500k @ 4.5 to a 2700k to stave off having to upgrade the whole system, can get that in to windows at 4.8 but not prime stable now so just sitting pretty at 4.7 Runs everything fine at 1440p for me, also have the 240 Arctic freeze, no issues with...

To give a little perspective on this - i bought one over christmas when it was on a similar offer in the UK - got the controller and steam link for £27 Just my $0.02 - steam link works great, seamless and easy to set up, and truth be told when i run over Ethernet to pc and steamlink - the input...

FYI - in the UK, it seems the 500gb version of the 860 evo is included - and can be had for £125 off amazon (linked direct off samsungs offer page)... http://www.samsung.com/uk/farcry5/ Would have pulled the trigger on it, if it wasnt for the fact that on Amazon sale days the 500gb 860evo...

Currently £60 in the UK, which is an utter steal - I paid £70 for my Arctic Freezer 240 18 months ago which was a bargain at the time and this looks to be even better value.

Still running 2700k @ 4.7 as daily driver, until the latest intel bug was no reason to upgrade ;(

AHH - i did check that - but at the top it mentions crimson relive drivers, however in the table below it references the adrenelin drivers, thanks...

"Install the driver now (rather when AMD gets it posted on its driver page)" Question is - where do you get these from currently, are they out now if so is there a direct link? Looking forward to giving them a go, cant make PUBG any worse.. :) :edit: Looks like if you google for amd...

I was recently in the same boat - had a 2500k @ 4.4 and was starting to feel the pinch, so i bought both a 2600k and a bundle with 2700k - and tested which cpu worked out best (the 2600k was a dud, sold for same as i paid). the 2700k boots at 5ghz, and i have it stable at 4.7 now for daily...

Im pretty much same as you, my PC is no real slouch, and I use same settings (except AA on lowest, view distance on high), and also reshade - and get pretty much the same FPS @1440....... at the starting island dips down to like 45 fps, and up to like 110 depending where I am - just bought a...
