6 Cores or SkyLake?

[JM Popaleetus]

Those overclocks dont look realistic do they? 4.7ghz?

4.7 is what every reviewer has gotten...not sure what you're questioning.

The voltage to get there.

 

[Pandamonia]

Just found out i can run a Asus RAMPAGE-V-EXTREME Intel Lga2011-V3 X99 in my FT02.

Running a few benches yes.

But how about 6 hours on BF4 64 player MP. Wonder how many times it BSOD?

PS Anand hit 4.5ghz on Retail

You will burn your brain faster than the CPU at 4.7GHz :biggrin:

 

[flopper]

x99 5820k seems to be the best deal atm as skylake fails to impress

 

[Headfoot]

its a sound chip issue.

You'd be surprised how seemingly unrelated issues all come together in weird ways when it comes to motherboards. They are arcane devices which I assume can only be fixed by black magic

 

[RaistlinZ]

Doesn't seem to make much difference, gaming wise. The $350.00 cost of the 6700K make entice people just to jump to the 5820K for a few dollars more.

The voltage to get there.

OMG this right here. I couldn't believe the voltage they were using. Over 1.4?! I find that to be insane for something built so small. I thought voltage requirements should be lower since 1.4 is considered approaching the higher limits even for Sandy (still sexy Sandy that is).
I can't know of course, but I also wouldn't be surprised at all if voltage like that outright kills a Skylake in 18 months. I would never run it that high.

Running a few benches yes.

That's a good point. Our priorities align and for us gamers this is what really matters. Nothing sucks more than being dumped out of badass match from a hardware failure, or for any other reason.

I find this highly offensive

 

[Dislikeyou]

Damn, I ordered i7 6700k and ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO Z170 ATX but now when I think about it, I can get ASUS X99-A + 5820k + 16 GB 3000 MHz CL 15 RAM for $900.

I should have waited a bit more before ordering but was afraid that Skylake would be out of stock fast so I hurried to order.


I am thinking about returning the Skylake CPU and MOBO and go X99. Should i?

Where did you order from?

A store in Sweden.

Lucky!

Seems that the US is getting hosed on Skylake...

Anyway, to your question, what do you plan to use the system for? Are you planning to OC?

There is a decent amount of Skylake CPU's here but the motherboards was few, only MSI and ASUS and not that many boards available. I see a few ASRock in stock now but no Gigabyte.

I will be gaming, video encoding and video editing, photoshop, and the usual, browsing the web etc. I did not plan to OC but maybe would consider it if I go X99.

The thing is that I planned to wait for R9 Nano GPU but if I go x99 I need to buy GPU now since it has no iGPU.

Keep the Skylake.

 

[RaistlinZ]

These 1151 i7-6700K chips only have 16 PCI-E lanes??

Yeah, for the money I think X99 is a better option.

 

[Yuriman]

It may not be the same in retail CPUs, but I'd like to point out that 1.4v doesn't sound so insane when stock voltage is between 1.320 and 1.416v on the engineering samples.

That's true, but I don't understand how it can be that high for a 14nm chip.

 

[SK10H]

The stock voltage for 90nm A64 3000+ is 1.4v, that's 2003-2004. I run it to 1.71v though, no degradation. ^_^

In the Sandy Bridge days, the consensus for safe 24/7 voltage seem to be ~1.4v. We're still there after 2 FinFet nodes. :awe:

The advantage of FinFet is suppose to be maintaining good clock with low voltage, as shown by the mobile chip when the stock voltage can drop from the 1.1v to 0.9v range. These stock 1.3v chip is simply showing the >4GHz is running beyond the optimized clock range due to too much mobile low wattage focus, ~ how GCN power consumption takes a dive >0.9-1GHz the optimal range.

 

[Hail The Brain Slug]

.....if your chip is unstable, clock it back to stock. Some of the 4770K chips are not good at overclocking. Not sure why you would want to blow $500+ just because you've got a bad overclocker.

After weeks of attempting to OC mine with two different overclocking motherboards, I can't get anything over 4.0 GHz without becoming unstable. Live with it and save some cash, I highly doubt you're going to miss a few hundred MHz in your day-to-day life.

 

[lyssword]

If there's a sound issue I'd just buy a $30 soundcard, it would likely sound better anyways

i considered this... might just get a 4970k... cant decide

it wasnt that hard to understand that a 6core 12 threads cpu its faster then a 4 core 8 threads...what were you expecting? a 50% improvement from haswell to skylake? :\

 

[guskline]

You mean 4790k? Just installed one in rig 2 below and really like it.

 

[Pandamonia]

I just remembered how much i earn... f*k it lets get it ordered
