MSI VR ONE - Wireless VR Backpack Review.

Seasonic FOCUS PLUS Gold W Power Supply Review. ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX Ti Platinum Edition - Part 2. Overclocking the Intel Core iX X-series Processor. Aug 28, 1. Well boys and girls the day has finally arrived. Which pathway do you think has the best lifespan?
Main uses are some D3 and Civ V and basic business software. I do some Autocad and inventor I currently have a socket Asus p5w64ws pRo motherboard with a q core 2 duo oc to 3. I have dual radeon x video cards but those could be changed for Nvidia to allow an hdmi 2. I am looking to go either or v3.
What are your thoughts? Leaning towards the but lack of the k is a hinderance. Aug 29, 2. You could always do the LGA mod while you wait for a k. StreiwAug 29, Aug 29, 3. Both need DDR4 RAM. The CPU cost close enough. Aug 29, 4. Are you going to be overclocking? Sounds like you keep your rigs for a years, so I think the extra cores would benefit you over time. DarkswordAug 29, Aug 29, 5.
If parts are cheap where you are and cost no problem with the latest and greatest, the k hands down. Otherwise the stuff is fairly decent too without breaking the bank much. Matthew KaneAug 29, Aug 29, 6. Aug 29, 7. Budget is pretty much open. Yes I do intend an OC. Is the k just a better binned k? Aug 29, 8. Being an "early adopter" has always screwed me. Generally ks OC better.
DayaksAug 29, Aug 29, 9. I am now considering it after reading this: Faster than usain bolt with half a pound of sausages down his pants, being chased by a starved cheetah riding a dodge tomahawk. Can warp space and create microscopic black holes under heavy loads. I lost my wife, kids and cat in one of said black holes Aug 29, They overclock pretty well for the most part. I am in the same situation and I am just about ready to go with v3.
If it were 1 year ago, the choice between and v3 would make me lean towards mainly due to the cost of DDR4. But now that DDR4 has somewhat normalized since Skylake has arrived, the cost difference between and v3 is marginal.
Although TBH, I feel like the power consumption difference is worth it because you get at least 2 extra cores to make up for it.
I just realized that the K only supports 16 pcie lanes, there goes my dream of PCIE SSDs. M76Aug 29, GotNoRiceAug 29, Aug 30, ImpulseAug 30, The first ASUS Z boards seemed more mature at launch than X99 were, possibly ever Z PCH lanes are all 3.
M76Aug 30, The K provides 28 lanes, the X99 adds 8 PCI-E 2. With Skylake you have 16 lanes, then 20 more PCI-E 3. Sep 2, I am debating going to a E5 V3 or a K. I dont think I need 40 lanes because I will have a raid card and one SSD, likely I will never have PCIE based storage or anything more than dual SLI. The only thing I am skeptical about is the reliability of the X99 boards. Seems like most boards are plagued with issues and that is a huge turn off because above all else I need this system to be dead stable.
So I wonder if the issues have been resolved because I hate being an early adopter. On the other hand, maybe getting a proven is the way to go. I guess what I am looking for thoughts and experience with the X99 systems. The LurkerSep 2, Sep 7, Looking at replacing my current rig and cant decide between a or a The 2 extra cores on the would be pretty nice but the fact that [H] has been praising the Z chipset for its maturity has me leaning towards the The costs between the chips is very similar since I can take a weekend trip to ATL to visit friends and the Micro-Center.
TMCMSep 7, The system I just ordered has an E5 V3 in an Xeon board. I like the idea of no RAM limit besides cost GB and the ability to go 18 cores in a few years if required. Sep 9, I have it hooked up to my projector in the living room. If I am about to play a game most of the time the only thing I close would be my browser. TMCMSep 9, Even an i5 would cope just fine and a Skylake i7 is way more than plenty.
I went with a k. The more cores the better. If I was going for a basic box, I would go Intel NUC with an Iris IGP. Your name or email address: Do you already have an account? No, create an account now.

[Build Help] Skylake Socket vs v-3 Socket : buildapc
Daily Simple Questions Thread. Generally ks OC better. I have it hooked up to my projector in the living room. Adopting DDR4 this early means the memory will be expensive and slower compared to what will come in a few cycles.

ASRock board is fully featured, probably more then you would need, but if it is the same price go for it.
