[CPU] The Overclocking Addicts

[MonoQ]

by cheap..whats ur budget for a clc? [MENTION=38055]Yasir Nadeem[/MENTION]

 

[Yasir Nadeem]

around 5k-6k clc was my priority i can also buy a air cooler.

[MENTION=38055]Yasir Nadeem[/MENTION] I'd go with what [MENTION=21647]nafu[/MENTION] said. Closed loop coolers aren't in that much variety in Pakistan and H80i for going with cheap is the best choice you can get atm as my faith is with Corsair Even if you have to add couple extra thousands still go for something reliable.

I Myself respect corsair they make the best products (in quality). My 5th gen system will be made of only Corsair and MSI.

MSI is a great choice to go with. I my self prefer ASUS first and then Gigabyte and then MSI but they're all top notch with exclusives features of it's own that's giving you advantage over the edge on each other in one way or another. Good luck with your 5th gen rig btw!

As for the air cooler, that's fine too I guess if you wanna go that way but I prefer no noise and liquid cooler for it's own reasons. I bought H100i temporary earlier this week til December after that I'll be selling it to my friend as I will get my Switftech H220X or H240X and then I'll be doing custom loop with that cooler most likely.
I'd still suggest liquid over air as we live in a dusty area and dust is like poison for computer and the more we can avoid, the better. Regardless whatever you pick, I'm sure you won't have much issues anyway because at the end of the day if you get the temps you want and need then you're good to go and all is left is just personal preference.

Thanks And It's Great To Go With Custom Loop Cooling as They Provide Better Temps Too.

 

[MonoQ]

Custom all the way...thats what i would prefer...but since hes asking for cheaper options..then go for h80i

 

[Dark Sith]

custom loop cooling is good , but if you have any leak then u can say good bye to ur hardware even -----though if done properly nothing happens but the risk is way to high ---

been there --so i know

 

[nafu]

[MENTION=38055]Yasir Nadeem[/MENTION] that risk would be too high, comparing to any other risk. so better to do custom cooling/aftermarket cooler, like VenomousX, notua or other well known brands.

I think you misunderstood it. I am not going for Custom loop cooling [MENTION=15943]UmerF[/MENTION] is . I Was Searching for Noctua found two NH-D15 But it got sold and NH-D14 But it's overpriced.

[MENTION=21647]nafu[/MENTION] ... excellent temps .. both cooler and weather are supporting
what was vcore in BIOS?

bdax|5820k @ 4.87ghz |1.57vcore| X-99A Gaming 7| Corsair AX850|

the bench is stable I've posted my 3d mark scores with this clock. i can't do another run atm because i think i have fried my bios and my cpu is being difficult in adjusting to new blk speeds .
my max clock is 5027mhz which is unstable i will post that once i get my bios fixed so for now i just have this

would a 2600k be good enough to play the latest n greatest games on a z77 board

coz even a 4790k could not do a 5ghz stable benchmark let alone come to 4.9ghz .

i think it should be enough .. though GPUs will run at PCIE 2.0 ... try to check PCIE 2.0 impact if playing at 4k

2600K is much better and friendly chip in overclocking. performance wise equally any other i7 might be little low but marginally.

What are the best softwares for ram OC? and is there any benefit to faster rams?
