X570 motherboards

I'm going to order the 3900X once it gets in stock. No plans to do any custom loops or heavy overclocking. The plan is to get a 360mm AIO and let the auto magic run it course (XFR, PB2, PBO). I want support for 4 dimms at 3600Mhz CL16 (thinking of getting 4x8GB). Wifi and bluetooth 7+ USB ports...

Silent PSU, 160mm deep

Is there a big difference between the Seasonic G-550, the platinum 660W and the X-650 when it comes to noise and performance?

Silent PSU, 160mm deep

Sorry about that, hehe. I'm buying from: www.komplett.no www.dustinhome.no preferably below 1000nok, but as said earlier I can go up if there's a significant difference in quality. Edit: Oh, and the G550 is not available from those shops. It's 150$(920nok) at cdon.no, but I've never purchased...

Silent PSU, 160mm deep

The G550 costs 150$+shipping in Norway, for that price I could step up to a platinum unit from Seasonic (190-200$)

Silent PSU, 160mm deep

Hi there. Thanks to the help from this forum I went ahead and ordered an i5 4670k and a gigabyte motherboard, but now it's time for the PSU to get swapped out. I need some help to find the best unit for the price, with these criterias: Silent, no coilwhine, low fan noise 160mm deep due to...

Need help finding the bottleneck

It seems to have everything I need. No idea how it overclocks, but it's at least got a heatsink thrown on there :P Can't think of any other features I really need. USB 3.0 is more or less standard today. Edit: Went ahead and ordered the GA-Z87MX-D3H and the I5 4670K. Can't wait for it to...

Need help finding the bottleneck

Is it a stable board? I've never had anything besides Asus, a bit skeptical to new brands.

Need help finding the bottleneck

The ASRock board is not being sold from the same store which currently has the sale on i5 4670k, the extra shipping from a 2nd store will nullify the savings from the sale. My current PSU is a 500W modular, but I'm gonna replace it due to insane coilwhine. I think I've gotten past the "SLI IS...

Need help finding the bottleneck

I am limited to m-atx due to my case (Silverstone Sugo SG10). I'm most likely not gonna run CFX/SLI, but I figured it would be best to keep the option open for the future. But then again, it might be better to upgrade to a newer GPU in the future? I really like the darkish theme on the...

Need help finding the bottleneck

Oh, but I am interested in overclocking :) I just can't with my current equipment. The i5 4670k is currently on sale. It's cheaper than the 4570. :) Which motherboard should I look for? I'm not interested in the most expensive ones. I'd like some balance between features and price...

Need help finding the bottleneck

I can't overclock with my current motherboard as there's no heatsink on the VRM's and only a 4pin cpu connector with a 3+2 phase power design. I've tried overclocking, but the bios only allow voltage offset which seem to either bsod or run at very high voltages. Getting a new AMD cpu is a bit...

Need help finding the bottleneck

So an Intel i5 4670K will be a good upgrade? How is intel's multicore performance compared to AMD? I've come to understand that most new games will be optimized for multicores.

Need help finding the bottleneck

I'm playing at 1080p. I've been talking to another guy in Rift who's also got the AMD 7870 and he gets alot higher framerate while soloing. In the 60-90 range. He drops down when raiding, but it's still higher than me. He's using an intel i5 4670k tho.. I tried running at 800x600 with...

Need help finding the bottleneck

Hey there. I'd like to get some help finding the bottleneck in my system. I'm mainly playing MMORPG's, and while they are playable they are not always enjoyable due to poor performance. My current rig: AMD A10-5800K AMD 7870 1Ghz version Asus F2A85M-LE 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz 120GB SSD...
