Re: Pc upgrading
Go for something with a faster core speed instead of core count. I'd take the 4ghz Intel core i7 4790k quad core over any of the 6 or 8 core processors simply because of the core speed. Most applications won't fully use all of your cores which is why a higher clock speed is more important. I'd only go for the 6 or 8 core… -
Re: Pc upgrading
processor selection really is a personal preference as well as what you think you'll be doing with the system. sure 200mhz per core isn't all that much, but if you do a lot of raytraced rendering that can use all of those cores, then 200mhz per core can be a substantial improvement over the course of 2 minutes worth of… -
Re: Pc upgrading
Hi ZippZopp, I'm trying to make my PC future proof. I want it to be in X99 motherboard and DDR4 memory(DDR4 memory is pretty cheap). You mentioned that Quad core is better than 6cores for this purpose. But Intel Quad is X97 motherboard chipset. Any other processor that could be just right for what I need, maximizing it's… -
Re: Pc upgrading
looks like a solid build to me. There isn't anything in there I'd change. It looks like the LGA 2011-v3 chipset has the 6 core intel also being the fastest clock speed so that is nice that you'll have the fastest clock speed with 6 cores. 32gb of ram is great and I wouldn't currently do less than that. -
Re: Pc upgrading
I'm currently using the 5820k and have it easily overclocked (literally dragging a slider) to 4.0ghz with the MSI x99 sli plus mobo. I think the 5930k has the benefit of more PCI lanes; however, with a single GPU setup, I'm not sure if the extra price is for 200mhz more per core is worth it. If anyone else would like to…
