Pc speccy thread, who's ready for the high idle temps this summer? I still haven't installed my AC, yet.
Nothing like passive cooling during hot summer.
>>54784320
Toughbook?
Panasonic makes some nice laptops
>>54784356
Yeah, I like them very much but good luck using palmrest during summer on one of those.
See the temperature ratings, what is the ideal temp, and at what temp does it fuck shit up?
t. noob
>>54784454
Everyone has different way of doing things but I keep CPUs at around 70C, anything less is just unnecessary noise.
Use speedfan to make temp curves, use PWM fans that can share common signal like arctic cooling. You'll end with nearly silent PC that doesn't suck dust in all the time.
Got a bunch of poo fans, should be good temp wise.
Should I get a GTX 1080?
>>54784831
I'm getting a 1070 in july probably. >>54784356
1080 looks good, but I don't really do that much gaming to be honest.
Waiting for 1080
Who else /poor/ here?
Think I might pick up a cheap 980 Ti when the 1070 is released and the inevitable fire sale happens.
>>54784190
1080p 60 frames overkill masterrace
This PC is pretty alright when it boots properly. Fuck this mobo, already RMA'd first one after it completely died and this one is still flaky. Last Gigabyte I ever buy.
>>54785559
Most X99 boards below $250 have issues from what I noticed, finally ended up on a higher-midrange MSI board, it's given me the least issues. (though it hasn't been without it's own)
>>54785575
I wanted a 5820k and the reviews for all of the mobos were sketchy at the time so I figured I'd go cheap, how bad could it be right?
I regret it but like you said I don't know that the higher end ones would have been more reliable. Lots of complaints about boot-up issues across the board with X99 it seems. Once I'm loaded into the OS it's completely fine but something is definitely up with how this one manages boots. Not uncommon for me to have to hit the reset button two or three times. I'll update the BIOS next and hope that helps.
>>54785636
My problems with my MSI board have been mainly with the XMP profiles for RAM. The board doesn't want to set the correct IMC voltage for the increased RAM speeds, so I have to manually set it.
Besides that it's been pretty solid, I dislike MSI's BIOS layout compared to Asus, but anyone who knows their way around a BIOS shouldnt have any major issues.

Yeah, to Windows 10.

Would you mind posting that wallpaper?
>>54784937
stay away from 1080

I regret not going Skylake, but at the time it was $100 more for the 6700k.

Don't you want to fit in with everyone in Speccy threads and use Windows 10 too? It's the greatest and most secure Windows yet!
>>54784235
Go back to your anime wallpaper thread whiner.
>>54789274
Actually 1600 but I never bothered to enable XMP.
am I hip yet
Upgrading next month.
Speccy in charge of reading vram

ok here are my brande onew speccesthx bb
When I try to install Speccy I get to this step and can't do anything because "Install" is greyed out.

I think there might be something wrong with your ram, Bromeo.

The top bit is neofetch, and below the colors is inxi, with a few flags.

why do you have the internal gpu active?
R8 this housefire junk piece of shit
>>54797151
slow ram, shitty overclock for that cpu, way too outdated gpu
>>54797199
Slow RAM, true; Shitty overclock for the cpu, i don't need more power consumption for a ~5% more in performance; outdated gpu? It's in the line between a 960 and a 970
>>54797137
It shouldn't be. I don't use it.
>>54797003
There is no .conf for inxi.
just use man.
>>54796946
Why a 4870? Why the most popular graphics card of its generation?
>>54797297
No its not, at 3GB it can't even fit that much of textures into its memory at 1080p, also its a CGN 1.0 GPU. Even something like the new rebrands are better like 380.

Got a good overclocker for my 390, that's for sure.
Looking into upgrading the ram, would it be worth it? Any recommendations?
>>54798096
Hi where do I apply for you to be my sugar daddy???
Is the 2600k still good? I have one but haven't done anything with it
>>54805069
It's adequate for gaming if overclocked to 4.2GHz+
It would be worth looking at an upgrade in a year or two, start saving
>>54805158
I mean I don't have a motherboard or anything I might just sell it then. Isn't LGA 1155 not being used anymore?
>>54805209
You might be able to find a cheap motherboard that won't allow overclocking which removes ~20% potential performance. It would still be fine for day to day tasks and media consumption, but more intense gaming will notice the older CPU.
So really it depends what you wanna do with it. If you want a long term gaming build you'll want to just look at the 6600k or 6700k. But if you just need a basic platform the 2600k is still viable.
I don't know why it says 1067 MHz, my RAM is 2666 MHz
Is this just a speccy bug?
>>54805303
You're not running at 2666mhz you're rubbing at 2133mhz. You need to enable the XMP profile in the BIOS or set the speed, timings, and voltages manually.
>>54805321
Thank you.
>>54803964
667 MHz is pretty slow I think
But if you're going to upgrade I would upgrade to a motherboard that supports DDR4 and upgrade both at the same time
Also why no SSD?
>>54805393
667mhz is 1333mhz
DDR means double data rate so speccy just shows the un-doubled frequency.
>>54784190
ayy lmao to all you poor warm fags
>10gb memory
yes, I had 2x 4gb and 2x 2gb, a 2gb stick was causing blue screens
>>54805415
Yeah but everyone else's speccy shows 1000 MHz+, so there is at least a 30% difference
>>54805444
Anyone with 1000mhz+ is likely using DDR4 which starts at 2133mhz (1067 in speccy) some could be using very fast DDR3, but most probably are DDR4.
>>54805483
Is the jump from DDR3 to DDR4 a significant performance increase? I know the clock speed is higher but is it actually noticeable?
>>54805524
Depends what you're doing. Certain games are showing decently significant performance gains by using 3000mhz DDR4, but negligible against DDR3 at 2133Mhz DDR4.
Since RAM is as cheap as it is however I personally have 32GB (4x8GB) 3200mhz DDR4
>>54805393
Not really looking to upgrade my motherboard at this time. I have an SSD but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet.
I feel like I should be getting better performance with my 980ti (60fps on Witcher 3 at ultra, drops to 40-50 at times but bounces back after a couple of minutes).and I think it might the ram that's causing it.
>>54805698
The thing is I'm pretty sure DDR3 is now more expensive than DDR4
Obviously not enough to make up for having to buy a new motherboard but still
The SSD may help with your performance too, having the OS and the game on an SSD helps massively with game performance
>>54805748
Witcher is actually one of the few games that sees nice performance gains using fast DDR4 (2666mhz+)
All my data hoarding is on linux, unfortunately.
