Are you upgrading to Skylake?

I literally just bought a board + 4690k Wednesday and put a ton of time into making the decision. I came from a an PII-X4 955 @ 3.7 and it deserves to be retired now. I figure intel prices don't change enough to wait, the difference in what i am coming from is still huge, and.. it's my Bday and...

How to judge lag based on upload speed? (minecraft server)

How to judge lag based on upload speed? (minecraft server)

I don't quite know how to phrase a title... but I have thrown together an old comp to use for a MC server for my kids. It has been working well over lan, but my brother joined and he gets a lot of lag. Especially with mobs. Messing around, he made his own on his comp and when I connect I get...

300$ for Electrician to setup Network

If you are in a 1 story running new stuff is easy to do yourself. I'm in a new house with 5e used for the phone. I swapped the face plates, put a 16port in the attic and called it a day. On the other hand, I had someone come in and put in a power plug in the ceiling for a projector. They...

AMD Carrizo Pre-release thread

I assume he meant 20-40% less. Still a lot. And a 4790k can be had for 280, or a 4690 for 200. Not that that helps AMD's position.

939 cores running different temp?

Have this old beast thrown together for a minecraft and media server. Have it bumped from 2.6 to 3ghz on stock voltage and has been burning Prime for a while now... but.. one core is running 15* hotter O.O. I don't know what to make of that at all. 50/51 and 65/66. All I've read says you don't...

46x0k worth a brand new build right now?

I guess, but assuming Microcenter still has any in stock I can get a 4670k for 150 and board for 110ish after rebate. I have yet to find any concrete answer on the 90 being any real improvement in temps over the 70. Hmmm... Although I see the point in the 4790 with such a great base clock. Only...

46x0k worth a brand new build right now?

This is likely a dumb question, but I don't get to upgrade very often. Considering the irritating way intel does their sockets, quad core has been around forever, DDR3 is otw out, and the possibilities given DX12 in the future... would you go for the top end gaming system now, or await and see...

Athlon 2 x2 that much faster than an Opteron 185?

Ya, I actually have a 905e in an htpc/steam box but those and the 910 are rare as hell. And this combo was sold from under me anyway, so back to the searching..

Athlon 2 x2 that much faster than an Opteron 185?

$30 for board and chip. Plus my current ancient 955BE needs more ram so I can hand the 4gig down to this new board. Also I assume the A2 will overclock reasonably well. I can't oc the opty at all with 4 sticks of ram.

That isnt exactly guaranteed. Like low level vid cards are new process previous generation. Not to mention Athlon has no cache.

Athlon 2 x2 that much faster than an Opteron 185?

I have the opty in a minecraft/media server and can grab an AM3/2.9 x2 combo, but I'm not really sure how much worth it may have. Besides the obvious more upgradeable chip and ram, talking straight chip power, is the Athlon 2 worth it? Been googling around but there is so little compare and of...

AM3 vs LGA1156 longevity as a gaming platform

I think not upgrading a complete comp each time you do so is the wise choice. And which ever way that allows you to do that keeps you better off. I attempt to alternate between board/chip/memory and gpu/psu as best I can. Going back a ways, my upgrade path has been. Incoming boring list...

Ya, really don't think that would happen. I have a 550vx (41A) with a P2 X4 and 8800gt sli and every estimate/calculation I could come up with puts that at the upper limit of my 550. Maybe 10% to spare. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2553/5
