Couldent see any now, that is correct, feel like ive seen some at 150$. Think i also some new x5680 at 160$ at amazon, free shipping. Thought w3690 was about same at ebay, guess i remember wrong. Might go up and down.
To me it seems like both are slightly under $200. Which is why i went with...
The reason my VTT is at 1.375 was because im currently downclocking from 180 Bclk and it wasent stable with less then about 1.36 vtt without going over 1.35 vcore on 180. So atm im going downwards on Bclk to find a suitable temperature with lower fan speeds. Likewise i will go down on VTT and...
Testing for heat goal, might be usefull info for some: (Changed IOH to 1.18 from 1.2)
Idles around 30c at all the sets, Temperature, celsius is measured by HwInfo max core temp. x25 multiplier. Short tests(Basicly around 10 min to see the temp stabilize) prime95, Large FTT for temperature...
I could tweak some other voltages down and test to see, but i lose stability by going down on VTT and Vcore, so I think its fair to say i reached the potential at 4,5 ghz.
Vcore: 1.35
VTT: 1.38
Is lowest i manage without spending a lot of time tweaking. So i guess i will satisfy with that and...
Thanks :)
Cant remember quite why i disabled them, think it was because im not after energy preservation atm. Tried with the Vcore at Auto now, seemed to stay at 1.35-1.36 under full load, for short test. So i set it manually to 1.35 while i will try to decrease VTT to see if i can decrease...
Short PSU cables is annyoing, found out that the fan noise was because of the motherboard cable crossing the cpu exhaust fan.
Don't know why the GPU looks like its falling on the picture, looks straight really. Some strange illusion lol.
Btw:
x5680 worked well on P6T deluxe v1. Some problems...
The way i see it.
Water advantage:
-More space over motherboard
Air:
-Last longer, no failing pump, no risk of leaking
If i remember correct, the best air coolers almost match the best closed loop water coolers. Noise wise really depends on the fans. Water cooling can be noisy too. I would...
990x(slightly higher turbo) vs 6800k.
Very roughly 20-30% increase performance @ same clocks and c/t + potensial for increase ram speed and future instructions. And reduced launch price. Thats what it seems like to me.
I do see how the average cpu has increase both in cores and clock speed...
Alright thats an obvious thing i focused little on lol, made shit clearer there. :flushed:
I also like those comparisons.
I would like to also compare
45nm 4c/8t (2008)
14nm 4c/8t (2016)
both for example @ 4ghz.
Copre 6c/12T @ 3,4ghz. Not really that impressed...
I don't see the logic in that comparison when reading about the difference here. Really dosent sound like that big difference to me.
And i don't understand 3Dmark cpu score? If i remember correct i compared my GTX 680 2gb to a GTX 960 and the 680 Scored about 50% higher? Seems pretty equal in...
That is actually a good option. A less noisy but equally powerfull second fan sounds like a dream, but somehow i find the airflow ability to noise ratio pretty much the same? I see how some fan engines produce some noise, but i would guess most of the noise comes from air being pushed?
The...
Thanks :)
Was some good suggestions on air coolers, i always loved the idea of 3 fans on the cpu cooler, 1 in the middle of the metal. Doubt i will upgrade the cpu cooler for another air cooler unless its a crazy bargain thou. Think the bigger air cooler could be a problem for my RAM sticks...
