6-10 core vs 2-4 core.
X99 also has quad channel memory instead of dual channel.
Z170 has built in USB 3.1 whereas X99 boards require a 3rd party controller chip (increases cost and performs slightly worse).
X99 has more PCIe lanes, minimum 20 3.0 lanes and 8 2.0 lanes. With higher end CPUs offering 40 PCIe lanes. This allows for more PCIe devices (quad SLI, huge RAID array, etc)
>>55578241

>>55578324
>What's this about cores tho?
Z170 has dual core i3's up to i7-6700k. The 6700k has 4 cores and 8 threads.
X99 has the lowest end 6800k with 6 cores and 12 threads, up to the 6950x with 10 cores and 20 threads. (or if you want the E5-2699v4 Xeon with 22 cores and 44 threads. )

>>55578558
Yup, he played the battlefield 1 alpha with snoop dog and some other celebs at E3 and loved it and he said one of his sons wanted to get into computers and so he is building this with him so they can both learn something new together.
>>55578579
Hopefully he has an easier time with it than I did

The key word being native.

living the dream lads, don't fall for the skylake meme
>>55578641
Built in or native there's no difference. It's transparent to the user which is all that matters. Z170 has USB 3.1 built into the motherboard.
>>55578698
>don't fall for the skylake meme
terry didn't either
That's Broadwell-E
>>55578106
1000W PSU for something that would probably draw 550W max.
Even Terry made sure to avoid AMDshit
>>55578699
Well in that case so does X99.
However there is a difference in performance between native controllers and 3rd party. You generally wont notice outside of synthetic tests however.

I'm far too lazy to find anything worth benching and then actually benching it.
Here's my build as miss-reported by speccy.
It's a founders edition 1080 by the way, if you want to get an idea for the scope of my terrible decision making?
>>55578913
Is it? I just copied the value from somewhere because I don't know the first thing about overclocking. It's been insanely stable, never had any issues with it at all.
Any decent resources for better values to steal? I just grabbed some garbage one from the first Youtube video I could find and stuck with it.
>>55578816
is that an auto OC or something or are you retarded?
1.4v is way too high.
>>55578929
as a general rule, dont go over 1.3v for a 24/7 overclock as long term high voltage can and will damage the CPU.
>>55578931
Auto OC tend to cap at 1.3v unless you turn off voltage protection in bios, that 1.4v is definitely done manually. He's playing with fire.
>>55578929
Do you not have: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
?
So how did you check the stability of the system? You really should be getting really high temps for that voltage under load.

And only 4.5GHz.
>>55579012
>>55578975
>>55578939
>>55578931
I dropped it down to 1.33v and I'm stressing it now, going to take a shit and hope I come back to a non-frozen PC.
Glad you guys spotted this, no one yet has said a word to me about this.
CPU-Z's stress test seems a bit shaky, should probably use Prime95
>>55579129
>Prime95
Prime95 is actually a bit too stressful on CPUs for stability, I've seen it bluescreen a stock 6700k after ~20 hours on a 24 hour test.
I generally use x264 encoding for a few hours. It stresses the CPU pretty decently with a real workload.
>>55579149
I actually ran x264 overnight without any problems and still got a BSOD playing Doom.
>>55579129
http://www.ocbase.com/
Is a gold standard of sorts.
1.33 sounds better, but you may need .34-.35
>>55579179
x264 is shit m8, only the retards at overclockers net recommend it.
>>55579191
Yeah 1.33 froze up after 10 minutes of Prime95, doing another round at 1.35 see how long it lasts.
Prime95 seems to make for a pretty decent trial by fire, not sure how long it'd have to last to be considered stable though. What an hour or so?
>>55579301
24-48 hours if you want something you can truly call stable.
>>55579338
That's irritating, never not using my machine for that period of time.
I mean if it can survive this for an hour and I never have any problems during normal usage do I have to even care down at around 1.35v?
>>55579301
Don't forget about Intel's burn test.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19792/Intel-Processor-Diagnostic-Tool
P95 is really stressful and in no way indicative of a real world scenario. Its especially helpful at checking temps, if it's stable at p95, you know you have your shit well cooled. I guess you have checked for any bios updates since you setup your system.
>>55579391
Yeah I've got the latest BIOS firmware.
My P95 blue-screened after ~13 mins at 1.35, even though my temps were completely fine.
The Noctua NH-D15 is keeping it at 65c max and it stays there just fine. But for some reason my system just packs in and blue-screens anyway.
I just quickly looked at a random video on youtube and the guy sets his i7 6700k to 1.26v for some bizarre reason.
for me even 1.35 is massively unstable if 10min in P95 is anything to go by.
>>55579451
Its silicon lottery, every chip is different.
I run my 5820k at 1.27v at 4.4Ghz, I know other people who need 1.34v+ for the same clock speed.
>>55579511
I guess I'll just sit at 1.35v and see if I have any issues during normal usage.
If it crashes I'll just move it up 0.01 and see how I get on.
Thanks for intervening in my 1.42v delusion, that could've ended badly.
>>55578081

>>55579391
There is also this.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24075/Intel-Extreme-Tuning-Utility-Intel-XTU-
This is good, better than x264 but you need to leave it running for at least 48 hours, anything less and you're going to get rare BSOD in games like Battlefield 4 et cetera, the built in benchmarks is more heavy than the stress test, this is why you need to leave it running for a looong time minimum 48 hours so it can go thought all type of loads and voltages and temperatures, I've had this BSOD after 20 hours.
Second best would be Prime95 but the smaller test can get too hot so you need to be paying attention all the time which can be impossible for longer periods you literally have to leave the test running and pray it passes everything test without burning anything, I've had this crash after 28 hours, literal BSOD not just rounding error bullshit.
There is also intelBurnTest v2.54, this one is fucking hot and it's only useful for short stress test since I do believe it is impossible to keep temperatures under control while running this, you can pass the 10 standard tests and still have crashes in game, I only use this while multitasking like running a youtube video fullscreen or mpc-hc with madvr( or anything GPU rendering) to test for GPU driver crashes, if you have a unstable CPU the first thing that would go (if not BSOD) is the display driver so this is a good to test for it.
x264 stress test version, I wouldn't recommend this I've had this run without problems for 24 hours just to get a crash in a few hours in the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool and few minutes in Prime95
Cont..
>>55578106
32gb for gaming
xD
>>55579628
The biggest problem when overclocking Intel CPUs is that you can't specify a voltage for a certain core clock, so all you have is a base voltage table made by Intel and an offset + added to it, which means that sometimes you can have a high OC like 4.6GHZ stable at 1.30v but then 4.5GHZ might need 1.29V to be stable but the voltage table plus the offset+ actually goes down to 1.28v which is not enough and you can't specify 1.29 for 4.5GHz without dropping down from 4.6Ghz to 4.5Ghz.
Which is why sometimes you can run stress test for days and still have crashes in games specially with power savings C states enabled and adaptive voltage et cetera.
I personally run the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility for 48 hours and if it passes without problems then I enable all power saving features and C States, if it crashes in a game you can just increase the voltage by 0.01/0.002 and you're are most likely to be set, or just say fuck it and drop the core clock by 0.1Ghz and you're most likely to be stable.
There is also the Input Voltage which can be a bitch to dial down and can be affected (and causing BSOD) by ambient temperatures affecting the PSU efficiency and temperatures on the motherboard themselves.. and lets not go into the Cache and the Memory, this shit takes weeks.
If you really want to find a stable OC prepare yourself because you're not going to be using that PC for at least 1 week.

>single thread performance
>yfw he discovers VR porn and gets hooked again
>>55580107
>>55580062
I guess i'm lucky i have a microcenter nearby, i picked up my 5820k for $290. It regularly goes for $310 there. Makes it basically the same cost as Z170 and a 6700k once you add an X99 board.
And you can OC the 5820k to 6700k single threaded levels, you can also OC the 6700k too, but it's still only gonna be ~10% faster which is usually going to be negligible and most games are going to depend on the GPU anyway.

>>55577977
Waiting for fucking Zen. If it's shit AMD will force me to go X99
>>55582004
I'm on the same boat. Broadwell-E was shit so I'm hoping Skylake-E will at least be decent. I really want an 8 core for $500, but if it's slower than the 3570k, then they can fuck off and die.
>>55578131
He was on reddit PC Master race posting, no person of importance post on /g/
>>55582120
The broadwell-E 8 core is clocked at 3.2GHz at stock which is ~5-10% faster than a stock 3570k (3.4GHz but ~2 generations worth of IPC improvements behind)
So you've already got better single core performance than a 3570k in an 8 core. Of course it costs a fair bit more than $500.
>>55582129
Is that a 944? Looks great.
>>55577977
i don't have as much money as him, and i have no need for a x99 system
>>55582176
Of course it's better, but it's more than 1000 american shekels. That's not a good deal for me. I'm paying at most $600 for Zen's 8 core. If it doesn't deliver, then I'll see what I'll do then.

The 6700k is literally objectively the best CPU you can have for gaming, though.
I'm not even memeing.
>>55584890
Who cares? The 6800k single core performance gets to about 10% of the 6700k but it has two more cores, double the cache, quad channel memory, more PCIe lanes, etc.
If you think you'll notice even a 5fps difference between a 6700k and 6800k, your're kidding yourself. In games that use 1-4 cores they will be within a hairs breadth in performance. If the game can use more than 4 cores however the 6800k will be a good 30-40% faster than the 6700k.
So basically if you have the money...why not?
>>55577977

whats x99 and why should i pick it over z170
whats z170 and why should i not pick it over x99
>>55586594
already answered several times in the thread if you'd bother to read more than the first post.
>>55586594
x99 is more expensive
x99 cpus have higher core support for Intel CPUs & 128gb ram support
x99 lacks some connectivity options like thunderbolt
x99 should only be used for genuinely professional work like encoding or rendering large files, multiple VMs, etc. but even then unless you're a freelance worker your company will provide much more powerful workstations and computing pools
z170 is cheaper
z170 has more connectivity options like thunderbolt, pcie raid0
z170 has a 4 core and 64gb maximum ram bottleneck
z170 has more energy efficiency, at better performance up to 4 cores
Yeah pretty much. I was planning to get a 5820k but I don't do much and saw the extra costs as wasteful. I'd also need to buy a GPU which I didn't want so I went with a 6700k and I'm perfectly fine.
>>55578106
I'm impressed
>>55586642
>but even then unless you're a freelance worker your company will provide much more powerful workstations and computing pools
what a load of shit unless you're working for a major company and actually have some some pull.
At work I have a 5820k desktop for rendering with 64GB of RAM and a basic SSD.
I have a similar setup at home so I can do work projects from home (either working over the weekends or just working from home some days).
No one in my office has dual xeons or anything stupid crazy like that, and we aren't even that small a company. We have several hundred employees.

>6700k performs nearly the same as a 4790k
It does perform the same, theres literally no point in upgrading from satan canyon.
>>55586701
Lower power consumption and a more advanced iGPU.
A streamer would probably prefer skylake because of the iGPU giving higher quality quicksync encoding.
>>55586730
Streaming with no problems here with OBS.
Fast preset and playing Planetside 2. Still not maxing out the cpu.
>>55586747
...are you not reading or are you misunderstanding?
The iGPU in the 4790k is more than good enough for streaming, that wasn't my point.
Skylake's iGPU specifically worked on increasing the QUALITY of the quicksync encoder over previous versions.
So the QUALITY of the encode from the skylake iGPU is going to be better than the 4790k.
>>55586766
Sorry, a little misread.
Well the quality improvement isnt so significant that you should upgrade. 720p is still shit quality tbqh.
>>55586780
of course, upgrading from a 4790k to a 6700k would be pants on fire stupid.
BUT if buying new, 6700k is the easy choice.
>>55586792
but if a little low on budget, the buyer should consider a 2nd hand 4790k which is as good as a 6700k. only IF he has views set on an i7.
>>55586803
Yeah but if low on budget i'd throw them to an i5 before an i7 to begin with, and the 6600k has the same upgraded iGPU.
Anyway, when the fuck will jewtel give us some good IPC gains again.
I miss the early 2000s.
>>55586821
Intel can do whatever the fuck they want since there is no competition.

thankfully he's rich i guess
like you even need anything more then a 2500k for pc gaming anyways.

I'll take the bait. Are you talking about steroids or does he have a recreational drug of choice?

If I have to be honest, if I had the money he has, I would have gone all out as well.
Is X99 Skylake-E a good upgrade for pic related? I haven't touched the innards of this thing for years so it's due time for a tune up.
Don't really vidya much anymore but doubt a lot of media creation.
>>55586886
Yes, steroids

If I were him I would have honestly spent much more. I would also get some professional to liquid cool it.
>>55578131
Fuck no. All normie celebrities post on REddit. All we ever get are a bunch of nobodies no one cares about.

If it bluescreens after 20 hours, it's not stable. Prime95 isn't that stressful. It can show 100% stability after 40+ hours while you still randomly crash in some fringe cases.
>>55590026
>Prime95 isn't that stressful
Bullshit, prime95 can BSOD a stock CPU without any voltage changes and stock clocks.
Unless you're implying intel sell unstable CPUs.
Prime95 is simply an unrealistic scenario and can even cause damage if run for long periods of time.
>>55587279
No.
>>55578929
listen, always target the lowest working voltage. Even if it's "working fine", try lower, run some cpu torture test for hours and try to squeeze as low as possible. When it doesn't post or hangs or something, just go a bit higher.
Never "just put some values in".
>>55588429
6700k will offer better performance as meme threading is easier to support.
a z170 systems is also a lot fucking cheaper than x99 and has 3 new processors coming over the next 4 years.
>>55579149
>>55579129
well whoop de fucking doop

Maybe this would explain the bsod on stock 6700k, eh
>>55590266
>has 3 new processors coming over the next 4 years
uhhh, Kaby lake will almost 100% require a socket change.
Just a heads up.
>>55590050
If it does that, something is wrong with the processor/cooling/memory.
It might not even be the processor, but memory.

>>55584813
No such thing as overkill and if there was then his probably falls in that catagory, he only got a few decent items and should of gone all out, dumbass
>>55586642
>x99 should only be used for genuinely professional work like encoding or rendering large files, multiple VMs, etc. but even then unless you're a freelance worker your company will provide much more powerful workstations and computing pools
mfw I'm running 10 VMs any given time on c602 build, and 5 on X79. They're adequate enough for the time being (engineering simulation/drawing).
Next step is going to be C612, probably.
>>55590595
What's the advantage of single socket C612 over X99? My X99 board supports up to the E5-2699v4.
>>55587279
Likely not going to be justifiable.
Skylake-E is not out yet so it's difficult to say for certain, but doesnt look like it
>>55590280
oh jewtel.
Never change.
>>55590607
No much. Generally (my opinion) C-series are more heavy duty (better qualified for 24/7/365 use), have vPRO.. without googling does x99 series have integrated gpu? As xeons dont generally have igpu that 16mb vga controller is enough to see console when needed locally without having to sacrifice one pci-e line for non-needed gpu.
IPMI is a godsend when working out of office a lot, and I'd like to get a board with ipmi even at home.
Does anyone have experience with z170-k and Samsung 950 pro, i've heard people having hard times making it as boot drive
>>55590797
>does x99 series have integrated gpu?
Nope, you have to use a GPU taking up PCI lanes.
>>55584479
ARE YOU ME?!
>>55584479
>>55591014
Only thing that rusltes my jimmies is that new SSD, 950 pro. It doesn't work on older rigs. Other than that, fuck these tech merchants
>>55578558
>Terry Crews convinced me to quit porn and I have the utmost respect for the man
wtf?
>>55578998
thanks anon
>>55590797
I don't think that's much of a sacrifice given that LGA2011 Xeons have 40 lanes of PCI-E. I think it's very hard to use them. Also, interesting thing is that on a lot of boards like the X99M Extreme4 the third PCI-E slot is from the southbridge. So you can have all 40 lanes on the CPU free.
so a hollywood niga with $$$ builds a fairly expensive pc n this is somehow news? LOL
>>55592531
It's the fact that he's a hollywood nigga
Most of em ain't exactly smart

Single core performance.

>>55593944
>Single core performance.
it's within 10% of the 6700k, what's the issue?
If you think 10% will matter for pretty much any game, you're kidding yourself. The GPU is far more important than the CPU.
>>55578106
wonder if he will use old spice to run that water cooler
>tfw he would pay for that rig over and over again from his social media posts
feels bad man, I want a overkill pc for no reason other than saying i have the best you can buy
