Whoa. These make it look sexy as fuck. Anyone know where these are for sale?
You will be mostly limited by your GTX1070 on both and the factual difference between the two isn't all that big anyway.
Some of the fancy new panels (think 1440p, 144 or 165hz, IPS) have issues... whether annoyances like anisotropic backlight bleed or RMA-worthy things like columns of messed up pixels. I had to RMA my Acer XB270HU. But buying in person is nice because you can just go swap it if there's a problem (instead of mailing it).
No point in buying a 7700k anymore, even an 8600k (which is in stock) is a better choice imho. So I would definitely go for a coffee lake build. Also you're going to get suggestions of getting a different cooler and probably a better power supply.
Even with no overclocking in mind for the foreseeable future I would get a bigger cooler for that i7. Cryorig H5 at least. And 1070ti can be another thing to consider since the 1070s prices are so inflated they are nearly on the same range.
Definitely. I don't know what MC is like, but if you're really worried maybe you could ask them to test it with you before you leave the store? But chances are your panel will be fine.
Have you considered upgrading your CPU? Even a budget friendly 4c8t Ryzen would be a huge improvement.
I wish I could, but I have a 870A-G55 motherboard. So, I doubt it's compatible with Ryzen CPUs. =(
Try building it outside of the case (in case there's a short or something). Does it boot then?
Yea that was one of my thoughts as well. I have it outside the case. Its just connected to the 2 psu cables, my power switch, and monitor to mobo. Those connections alone should atleast show something up on my monitor and post just to see that its working, but its not.
What motherboard is it (actually all of the specs would help)? Can you also post a pic of your setup (might be able to see something)?
Nice. Do you have the parts/have you built it yet? I'm curious to see what you end up running your ram at.
No matter how well i thought i put in the ram, i guess it wasnt seated correctly. Its finally working now that i jammed it in.
Ah, glad to hear it. I sort of figured it was something simple.
Yes not only years. But i bought my dream case and i wasnt able to use it, and it was just sitting there for years laughing at me.
Welp, time to make that killer system. Post pics once you're done.Yes not only years. But i bought my dream case and i wasnt able to use it, and it was just sitting there for years laughing at me.
its the In Win 901 Gold Edition. Super rare.
The Ryzen 7 X models aren't really worth it. All Ryzen CPUs top out at 3.9/~4.0 GHz when overclocked anyway, so the better binning doesn't really pay off at all.
ram seems likely... try one stick at a time, in each slot, see if it blue screens. try the second stick doing the same thing (just on its own -- not both).
I don't think all the slots have been tested yet.
It seems to boot only when the sticks are changed, whether it be slots or number of sticks. Will try updating the BIOS and then probably resetting BIOS settings.
Are you happy with your current performance? If so stick with the 970. If not, go for it. You'll get a big boost. Also you should overclock your CPU if you haven't already.
How much is the 7700k? I don't think it's worth it imo. If you get a new CPU I would get a 6-core for sure (or 8-core if you wait till next year). TBH the 7700k is behind the coffee lake i5s... unless you can get a great deal on the 7700k I wouldn't bother.
What GPU do you have? How much can you sell the keys for (or are they locked in some way?)? Go for it if you want it. When you replied about the price I thought you were the guy I was responding to lol.
