Post your setup!

Well i have an i5 2400… whats the difference between 2500 and 2400? I assume its just a little bit better

@CookieRedstone No special deal on the 2500k tbh, £73. Standard ebay price for it, but either way it’s a bargain. Overclocking chipset motherboards typically cost a little bit more, but if you wait you can get them for around the same price as the normal ones.

@BurgerLover1 The i5 2500 has a slightly higher clock speed than the 2400, so it’s a bit faster, but the main reason i got the 2500k over the 2400 was the overclockability, so it can be even faster than the 2400 (mine runs ~1GHz faster than a 2400)

I might upgrade it then

Not really worth the money, especially if you can’t overclock it. Tiny, tiny difference. tbh you probably won’t even notice.

Updates!!

Almost everything here was purchased by me brand new (except for the CPU and PSU) so yeah. Here we go

Monitor: AOC G2460PQU (Decent monitor, 1080p 144hz IPS, just really large bezels) Keyboard: Corsair Strafe RGB with Cherry MX Brown switches (RGB makes no sense because I always have the LEDs set to white) Mouse: Mionix Castor (Most comfortable mouse I’ve used, up to 10,000 DPI) Microphone: Blue Yeti (For when I make the very rare YouTube video) Mouse pad: Corsair MM300 (Pretty much was just an impulse buy) Speaker: Bose SoundLink Color Wireless (Gets the job done, definitely not permanent for this setup)

There’s also a Samsung Wireless Charger on the left. Really handy.

PC Specs: CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K overclocked to 4.5 Ghz GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 Superclocked RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 2666 Mhz Motherboard: Asus Z170 Sabertooth S CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i GT AiO 280mm SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 G2 Case: NZXT S340 Elite Matte Black GPU back plate courtesy of V1 Tech Custom sleeved PSU cable courtesy of CableMod Headphones: Sony MDR 1000x

Sooo yeah… if you guys have any recommendations, let me know

Intel Core i7 6700K overclocked to 4.5 Ghz

@barrygold_ It’s a very respectable overclock. I’ve managed to hit 4.8 before but I had temps in the high 90s under load

pcmasterrace is disappointed, my i5-6600k is at 4.6 stable 100% of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My computer is now at 4.6 Ghz at 1.37 volts because for some reason you care so much about a 100 mhz difference

lol my 2500k only got to 4.1 at 1.37V. sucks to be me i guess :p

also skril, i think he’s joking, but it’s hard to tell sometimes…

nice updates too ;)

lol my 2500k only got to 4.1 at 1.37V. sucks to be me i guess :p

being serious: 1.37 volts is REALLY high for 4.1 ghz, i have my 4.6 ghz clock at that. lower your voltages a bit and you’ll see much much better temps, especially for your clock speed. 1.37 is what I’d recommend for about 4.6 GHz, btw.

play around with your voltages to see what’s more stable.

Lol you think I haven’t already? It’s just a shit chip (plus overclock results aren’t necessary comparable in this way between generations, though sandy bridge is supposed to be a pretty good overclocker)

1.365V @ 4.1GHz = crash. I’ve done my testing. Temps are at ~70 under a Prime95 stress test, depending on ambient temperatures of course, so they’re fine as well.

1.365V @ 4.1GHz = crash

holy shit

holy shit

ikr

@Skrileton damn that case looks absolutely stunning. The only thing that triggers something in me is the little red square on the SSD.

Samsung’s “Pro” line of solid states :')

I’d show mine, which doesn’t have the red square but it’s sorta in the case lol

and yes it triggers me too

@Skrileton Nice background there buddy ;)

Btw @Skrileton what do you think of the stafe’s keycaps? I’m tempted to get the strafe rgb (red) but I like the k70’s keycap font more… Media keys is something else that is a factor for a board, too.

@WandowsTin They’re really nice. Looking back, I really wish I bought the K70 instead of the Strafe because I like the media keys and the volume scroll wheel

thanks for the input, and helping me make a decision :3

Eh, well I can’t really complain. This keyboard is going to last me quite a while :p and it’s up to you if you want to spend another $30-$40 for the K70

@WandowsTin TFW I said I was gonna get the k70 months ago and you shit on corsair

Pj, looking back u said u were gonna post ur setup in 2016… its 2017 fucking do it already

Corsair? More like coarse hair amirite…

Such offtopic but it wasn’t relevent enough to be a lol.

What am I doing with myself

@BurgerLover1 can’t be arsed also still have a shite kb

Ye twat
