Oh yeh and I'm rocking an old i5 2500k @ 4.8ghz on the msi flavor of your board so our hardware is similar. MSI's p67a-gd55-B3 shares the same p67 chipset.

Or you could wait for the Skylake-E. I'm rocking an old i5 2500k @ 4.8ghz at 120hz 1080p not planning to go 4k just yet so don't really see the point of the latest skylake its barely quicker than a devils canyon quite deflating.

Okay B3 revision confirmed by cpu-z good thats one less thing to worry about. One of my mates has the same board as yours and the early BIOS versions did have some issues. Updating the BIOS wouldn't hurt if your happy with flashing motherboards (can be a bit scary the first time). While your...

Sounds like a bottleneck at the controller end hmmm is your board a B3 revision version ? It would have something like /Rev 3.1 at the end of its tag.

Most if not all SSD manufacturers have cloning software available for free either bundled with the drive or available on their websites for download. This software would clone/migrate all your data and ofc your operating system from the HDD to the SSD. Checkout the makers of your SSDs website...

The procedure is the same for an SSD as it is for any other spinning hard drive appart from the formatting bit which I'll explain at the end. Just make sure your boot sequence for the usb flash drive or DVD media is set to boot from usb or DVD in your BIOS settings. Then insert the OS usb or...

Yeh my bad I was comparing the wrong specs(thought an i5 6600k was a 6700k ??? lol) talking of which I didn't have my glasses on when checking the i7 5820k x28 not x26. Still think the extra cores will be handy for 4k gaming and beyond in the future however since more and more main stream...

If I had a Devils Canyon I wouldn't even blink at Skylake. From a price stand point the best value i7 aint the Skylake. If your heart is set on a 5820K go for it as with directx 12 round the corner cpu single core overhead aint gonna be worth worrying about. Hmmm allot of old games still use...

Tbh the 5820K with the extra cores is more future proof. More telling however are the pci lanes 5820K has like 28 skylake 20 and the fact that directx 12 will mean lower cpu overhead with the burden being pushed at the gpu through those lanes I mentioned. Also more and more games are being...

G-sync/free-sync unless you suffer from screen tearing its just a gimmick spend the money on a faster gpu and dump sli. The only time I've ever seen tearing was on sli systems of which I've owned about three. Proper 4k cpu and SINGLE gpu solutions simply can't produce the fps required for...

Maybe I'm the only one that spotted this maybe... --> The article on page 3 Test systems and Benchmarks states the following, "Despite that massive number of pixels, 4K displays are becoming more popular every day thanks to sub-$600 options like Asus' PB298Q:" The picture shown next aint a...

I'd be pretty upset if I'd bought two gtx 970s to game at 4k with decent settings after all the guff about 3.5gb + 512m (Super slow). As it is I game at 120hz 1080p and my single GTX 970 does just fine. Still feel a little let down reckon this will effect the second hand retail value well darn...

I wish the g1 had been about 2cms shorter however prices over here in the uk are a tad high for that card. Best deals seem to be on the zotec from £240 and the evga acx 1.0 from £258 end of line until stocks are gone. Mind you I can't see either of those cards appealing to hardcore...
