No wars at all, my man.

Then I'll leave it to you learn, I'm not going to waste my time trying to help someone who doesn't want to learn.
I linked you that so you could see what all the skylake cpus are out there.
You mentioned you wanted to rebuild again, so there is your reference chart.

Good luck.

He never said he wants to take it apart and rebuild it, he JUST built the computer, he enjoys building and said maybe wants to build another.

I've never seen such a simple post twisted so far into circles in my entire time here. You literally just offended yourself.

What is your problem lately if you read my post right, you would understand properly that I was giving him an idea to use for future use.
Thats why I said that to him, if he doesn't like the machine he has during the year, he can rebuild from what parts he wants or do a full build.

@Usafret: I bet you that staff room is a nut house, you guys sure do scrap alot.

My problem is with poor and incorrect answers and taking threads off topic and on a tangent. As a moderator its my job to stop such things. Your joke went over like a lead balloon and you have kept badgering the guy for no reason with it.

My suggestion to you is to let this go and quit while you're "ahead" and I use that term in the loosest sense of the word.

 

[maikutech]

I'll let the admins settle this one you just keep going on and on for no reason at all.

Honestly I never heard of those machines you mentioned but it reminds me of an old BYTE magazine I once found online from 1983

There's a discussion about vintage PCs here on Tom's Hardware forums. It's a good read about predecessors of modern day PCs,

Love it Thank you!

Well you built your first machine, why not learn from it, bestway is trial and error and screwing around with old to get to know things better.
First computer I had was a gateway essential, 433mhz socket 370.
Slow as dust for 1000 dollars my mother bought it makes me wish I would bought 650mhz pentium 3 at the time.
This is what drove me into building computers in 1999.
Having windows 98se and then Me for a short time and got xp pro when I went to college 119.00 retail.
Good way to learn and having someone else teach you or mentor you from time to time.
Use your computer for a year. If you don't like it break it down.
Take what parts that are really good to you and start a new pc from it.
The rest of it you can sell it or give it away or throw it inside the trash can.

:lol: Why the link?

Nah there'll be no screwing around with it. Of course I'll learn as I go but I did enough research before attempting this build. The great thing about our ever expanding neocortex is we can learn from other people's mistakes, why make them ourselves through trial and error? It's my first PC build yes, but I'm educated enough to know it's MHz not mhz. It's not difficult.

Great. For my next build I'll have your wiki link. Sorted.

I know I sound arrogant but I don't like being patronised.

While there may be plenty of arrogance floating around this thread, I wouldn't say it's coming from you.

Haha thanks Slumy

May
Bought Kingston Savage 2x 4GB DDR4 3000 Mhz RAM and Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB HDD for my Skylake build.

New RAM installed.

Bought the 1TB HDD to replace the aging 500GB data drive out.

In the process of HDD cloning. The 1TB HDD outside of the build is my backup drive that i had to remove from the system for time being. Since, in my HDD cage, the middle 3.5" slot is occupied by my HUE+ controller.

New components up and running. Speccy doesn't identify my Kingston RAM which is a minor issue.

 

[maikutech]

Is that 1tb drive 5400rpm or 7200rpm, the last one I bought newegg.com sent me the wrong speed version which is 5400rpm.

To know the speed of the drive, either look the part number up from the net or enlarge my 1st image and read the RPM off from the label.

Not really a "new" or anything, but went to perform a routine cleanup of dust bunnies and found my standoffs were stuck in the case/some to the board. Apparently I'd used either the wrong standoffs or wrong screws when assembling.

So, after dremmeling out the standoffs from the case, and brute forcing the ones stuck with the screw through the motherboard....... new standoffs

Prior to that, would be the upgraded GTX 1060 3GB Windofoce from Gigabyte (replacing my 2GB EVGA 960).

All WD Blues are 7200 RPM as are Blacks and Reds. Always have been. Greens are 5400 or 5200 RPM. You can always identify a WD drive series by the color of its label.

Then I'll leave it to you learn, I'm not going to waste my time trying to help someone who doesn't want to learn.

Wasn't it you who said that just a few posts ago? Good thing we don't all think that way huh?

They've recently restructured their color line.

Some of the new Blues are indeed 5400.

[Deleted member 217926]

Huh. I didn't know that. Some of the Reds too it looks like. I knew the Scorpio Blues were 5400 RPM but I didn't know they did it with their desktop drives.

They took a simple color system ranking and hosed it up.

So what trash moderator talk are you doing now ?
I already viewed the image and saw the speed thats why I said never mind.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

You know I've personally warned you for being rude in this very thread. I don't know if it's your intention or not but it's how you come across. This is the second and last warning from me. Be nice or don't post. If you don't know the difference err on the side of caution.

From you I need a "yes I understand" and that will be the last thing said.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

This is a thread that was created for builders to show off their new components for a present or upcoming build. It should stick to this criteria , that's why I created it. Builders have different budgets and needs and their posts need to be respected , regardless of their hardware choices. All other discussion should be left out of this thread.

Thanks,
