Since day one this 2700k ran at 1.4v/4.8 no prolem. Running fine to this day under a H100 with great temps.

Problem solved! Lol.

1.4v here since new no issues at 4.8.

Its about the OP already making the decision to switch to Linux. Theres no point to sell windows to anyone in this thread.

Wel point in case, I use Linux and I find it better than Windows its perfect. I still feel like your trying to sell Windows after the administrator said no more windows talk. I came here because of the Linux forums, I want to discus Linux.

I agree! In many cases it's also faster.

Interesting. So are you saying that there should be les of an impact with older processors?

I don't know bash like naib and I'm totly envious of his skills, but all operating systems require some form of terminal use for advanced tasks and I just cannot believe how good Linux is. Terminal makes sence in alot of cases under Linux and I cannot see myself ever paying for an operating...

Sorry, I shold have been clearer. I was speaking from a patched/performance point of view. [EDIT] - Rong wording.

I just don't understand the Windows comparisons. It's like someones trying to convince me Windows is better and for my uses it is not. I've had negative experiences updating Windows 10, I've had no issues updating any of my Linux machins. I feel no need to discuss my Windows 10 experiences here...

This is the trick, you need an m.2 drive that supports legacy mode - Of wich there aren't many. From memory I'm running a Hyper X Predator, there is also a Samsung that's compatible (850 Evo?), but their getting rare now.

So awesome. Love x58 :D

Sounds lilke it's nothing to worry about considering the average user or even enthusiests.

Ahh yes! The porn test... :D

Did it slow to a crawl. ;)

Yeah I agree with this. Fuck Intel ME that crap pisses me off.

I think I saw an article the other day where a white version is now avalable.

This is what I'm thinnking, may wait and see what happend at silicon/microcode level before I do though.

Fair enough that covers a small proportion of professionals. But this is a Linux thread and were discussingg deadjaspers choice, a choice thats been made.

Deadjasper's made his decision as seen in the OP. I havnt been here long but it's strange how you keep trying to derail the thread towards Windows. We want to discuss Linux lets just discuss Linux. If you prefer Windows make another thread not in the Linux forum.

My point exactly. :)

I run an m.2 to pcie adapter, it's bootable and gets pretty good speeds. Sure not as good as native, but way better than SATA and definatly nothing to sneer at.

Except this is a thread about Linux.

The good thing about not constantly upgrading your hardware in order to have a good looking sig is that when issues are found that can't be resolved by a simple microsode update you just wait for the issue to be resolved in a newer generation of processor, upgrade your hardware after around ten...

Oh they are! The problem is Deadjasper's monitor has Freesync and the better performing open source drivers don't support Freesync. Every time I've run AMD hardware ive used the open source/mesa drivers and they've been simple and improving in speed all the time.

2700k at 4.8 here. One of the best purchaces I ever made. x58 was another great platform.

Isn't it great when you can view the code! If it wasnt for Linux we would probably all still be in the dark over the whole exploit right now.

Its obviously not a weekness for deadjasper. I love Linux and an amazed at just how good it is and how much software runs under Linux these days. I'll never pay for an operating system again.

Wow, I've never had this. I run a number of distros and packag manager has always got it right.

AMD PRO only supports 16.04LTS as far as I can tel.

People hate on Nvidia because they don't contribute to open source Nouveau drivers. But the fact is they perform so well are fully featured and so easy to install, it's the reason why I stik with them. AMD are really dragging the chain with their AMDGPU-PRO drivers. Mind you, the Nvidia 384.98...

It's a shame the AMD PRO driver dosent have a PPA like the Nvidia drivers do otherwise the drivers would be a snitch to install. Did you try the following instructions Cyberreality? http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx

Not too sure if this is the right place to post this. An interesting article from the developer of Helium Rain claiming that Linux gaming is alive and well. So glad to be a part of this community...

Going to be funny when IO operations are faster on a Core 2 than an i7....

Solus is awesome! To the OP, don't give up on Solus just yet.

Did you install Steam from the Software Center in Solus or did you install it via the Steam website? You have to install Steam via the Solus Software Center as Solus has performed some very handy modifications with Stem integration. It does wirk, I have a machine running it here. The only time...

If you use Ubuntu you just use UKUU. It's the safest way to update the kernel, it even highlights regressions. If you run Mint, the kernel updater is included in the updater and it also highlights regressions. If you run xbuntu or Mint and there is an issue with the kernal, you hold shift at...

Oh God how I hate iTunes.

Im not going to get to involved in this as im fairly new around here. But the Linux bashing hasnt stopped and i did not see any problem with bullets postings compred to anyone elses. Strange, I was lookng forward to some frendly Linux talk. :)
