I can only say: I just built myself a 1500X ITX system with 16GB of ram (running 2800 Mhz) because I was able to procure that CPU at about 100€ (A gift some dude got he didn't want...box wasn't even opened and I got the receipt for it, too...jackpot!)...and so far I cannot complain at all.
The...
That's why I don't get people who say that it's impossible for AMD (or any other CPU maker, really) to ever catch up to Intel.
The only steadiness Intel has is in their ever smaller performance increases over the generations. It'll take AMD probably until Zen+ to be up to spec again...Not sure...
Just put in the board and gave it a ride.
Overclock runs at exactly the same Voltage, sound is pretty much the same as far as I can tell with my cheap $60 headphones (except for having a tiny bit less max volume it seems) and after swapping out the board I didn't even need to reactivate...
OCing I think I'll be fine since I only plan on running the CPU at a crispy 4.5 Ghz. 4.7 Ghz is too much for my casual cooling solution...no idea how the 8-pin will affect it in combination with the different phases (I actually have the SAME board you are using in your machine)
As for the...
Pffff Haha, I was sure I had actually copy pasted it in here....must've been derping, sorry about that.
I mean this board:
ASRock A88M-ITX/AC AMD A88X So.FM2+
All I can find is ONE measly review on it...and it's not even a very good one. I know that FM2+ isn't really the pinnacle of...
We all know that 3GB is not a huge amount and that its' hardware is also cut down a bit...but comparing it to other NEW (no used stuff) cards....with a X-25€ price tag...do I have another worthy alternative?
TYPO IN THE TITLE, OF COURSE I MEANT THE 1060!!!
Sorry, I was not fully awake at all...
So one of my ITX machines has been broken for a while, (Can only use one ram socket due to the other one being 100% dead and the 1st one also keeps spazzing out every once in a while, warranty is gone) and since I decided to fix that one on the cheap side of things (I still got the 2nd ram, so...
I really hope DIY Bristol comes soonish...one of my machiens is currently in the process of falling apart. (1 ram slot 100% broken, the other one starting to act up .)
I would love getting my hands on a proper Zen-ready board in preparation as I always try to have a machine from Intel AND one...
It's gonna end how it always does with google...ambitious and...never actually happening.
I feel like it's always the same with google. If it's a physical object it will never actually release (I'm looking at you Ara) or it will end up being a novelty that only a few buy into.
In the end...
Of course I'm not from "camp AMD" or "camp Intel"...but seeing how hard OEMs keep on redactedup those setups almost makes one think they're doing it on purpose...of course I'll just hope that this is not the case....but from the looks of it they gave the job of putting together the...
Tbh what I really want is a DESKTOP CPU that has 4-6 threads at about 3-4 Ghz that are at least 10-15% faster than Kaveri clock for clock(per thread)...BUT...here's the but...need 25W or less TDP so I can easily passively cool the system.
In addition to that I want GTX 960/RX480 perf level at...
Yeh, that's what I was saying.....but even still it seems Bristol easily pulls ahead of Kaveri...but we'll have to wait and see.
Personally I'll not touch it until at least a 860K/870K equivalent is released...but after that I'll check it out myself.
Well most of the gaming comparisons weren't "normalized" to the same mhz.
3.5 Ghz XV base clock vs 3.7/3.9/4.0 Ghz....hardly seemed professional.
I do remember that the total average mhz for mhz difference was like 2-3% in gaming for Kaveri/Godavari if I recall correctly.
Though I'm not sure...
