I don't really expect much to quite honestly from 30 to a few hours. From what I've seen, if it's unstable, it's going to crash pretty quick.

[Iamanerd]

Which model?

So boredem occurred and decided to see how high of a clock I can get at 1.2V for the 5820k. So far only up to 4.3GHz but only 15 minutes in Aida. It bsods few minutes in at 4.4. My NH-D15 does have the low noise adapter so the fans actually aren't running at their best performance but noise isn't there for the CPU side.

30 minutes later, fuck it want to use my computer *closes*

I got the Wacom Intuos Comic version, it's something I'm completely new to so I didn't want to go big yet. Once I get the jist of it I'll upgrade to a pro model. Honestly I'm a noob at drawing but I've always wanted to learn and put some time into it.

Oh nice. Seems like a solid tablet.
I have a Wacom Bamboo from... 2011? I think, Old as hell but it functions nicely.

So, Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X, if you set it to -23% (at least mine) you maintain the same core clock (1000MHz) but less input power. They really really shouldn't over budget the power needed. Setting to -35% is a bit more drastic but runs at the GCN sweet spot of 850MHz~. Lose about 5-10% performance from what I've seen.

[Artorius]

That's a sexy looking CPU.

[Remilia]

That none of us will ever get, lol.

[Artorius]

Elitist Intel.

[DeltrusDisc]

It's just $4,300 you guys, jeez. Haven't you heard of 12 or 24 months 0% APR financing? :P

[DeltrusDisc]

So...

Now that the i7-6950X has pretty much been confirmed and such and we know it's coming soon, any of you thinking of it? :P I kinda want it, maybe if I get my finances in order soon. Would be nice to tinker with something that powerful. I'd end up getting a new motherboard in time too, probably, since it would likely have a few extra things and more native support for the new CPU than my old ASUS X99 Deluxe.

Still, the 5820K is chugging along better than my 2500K could ever dream. Probably never going back to non-enthusiast consumer-end.

[TaintedOne]

so......anybody want a good laugh ?

That said, not really. You have to remember the new feature are the same from Haswell to Broadwell on the mainstream line. That said the 6950X has 10c/20t but the 6800k is 6c/12t (the only one that I can afford) and performance wise not worth it. If Intel keeps the i7-e 'entry' at $400 it eventually goes down to $350 at some point which is nice. Mobo is probably the same price though, the usual $180 starting price for the cheapest, though Broadwell-e should be able to use the same X99-v3 I think...?

[Artorius]

Yes they're supposed to be able to be used at the same V3 mobos as far as I know.

I got the 5820K for like $330~ a day after it launched because YAY Micro Center! :P

And yeah, the CPUs are backwards compatible.

10c/20th is totally necessary and worth it, don't you dare tell me otherwise!

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Broadwell-E will be compatible with current X99 (socket 2011 v3) motherboards with the appropriate BIOS update. MSI already has BIOS updates for their X99 boards to support Broadwell-E CPUs and I believe Gigabyte do too.

[DeltrusDisc]

401k being rolled over now to my Roth.

I feel so mature, ya know?

No it's not.

[DeltrusDisc]

No it's not.

Adobe Lightroom and Corel Video Studio Pro say otherwise!

Get MORE RAM!
Also not worth it unless you're doing batch filtering.

[DeltrusDisc]

Suppose I can update my mobo BIOS so I can have 128GB of RAM. 8)

You can install 128GB of RAM but the 5820K-5960X can only address 64GB.

It can support up to 46 bits of address space. 2^46 / 2^30 = 65536MB (or 64GB) of addressable physical memory.



Page 9 of the datasheet: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...eet-vol-1.html

If you want to address more than 64GB of RAM you need a Xeon CPU.

That is, unless my 2am brain has forsaken me.

Pretty sure this was covered in a separate thread a couple months ago and the CPUs can indeed use 128GB of RAM.
