Streaming+Gaming which cpu? i5 8600k or i7 7700k

[bmockeg]

Unluss you plan to overclock, get the cryorig H7 I listed before.

 

[Webbers246]

No point In OCing If the Turbo sends It to 4.2 out the box. I'll get the H7 then just 'cause It's cheaper. I was looking Into the H60 but I keep reading about leaks.

 

[bmockeg]

There's no need for watercooling without overclocking and a single radiator AIO is a waste, air is better.

 

[Webbers246]

Any Idea the temps I'll run Into streaming & gaming with the H7? Non OC

 

[bmockeg]

Probably in the 60s

 

[Webbers246]

Been reading about bottlenecks, apparently I'd be getting a "26%" bottleneck. How bad Is that?

 

[bmockeg]

The "bottleneck" is your CPU is very good while your GPU is mid tier. This isn't an issue in the slightest. Your CPU will by far outlast your GPU. When you are ready for a new GPU the CPU will still be fine.

 

[Webbers246]

So I shouldn't be worried having the 8700k with the 1060 nah? I don't plan to upgrade my gpu anytime soon considering I've spent alot already.

 

[bmockeg]

There is no issue at all.

(Had to sign In through Google) So I've Installed the 8700k with the Cyorig H7. I'm having a few Issues. One being my PC keeps locking up / freezing for a couple seconds. Second Is my utilization and temps are spiking. 13% - 40% then back down. 35c up to 50c and back down.

Am I right this is also a new motherboard? If a new motherboard did you do a fresh install of Windows, if no start with this.

 

[Finstar]

Ok... Why has the Ryzen 7 2700 or 2700X not been mentioned yet? Beats the i7 8700k at streaming and multitasking easily and costs less.

 

[bmockeg]

@Finstar, he was recommended Ryzen and chose 8700k. 8700k is fine for streaming.

@Webbers, as sizzling asked, did you do a fresh install of Windows?

 

[scottwebb61]

Aye I did a clean Install

 

[Finstar]

@Finstar, he was recommended Ryzen and chose 8700k. 8700k is fine for streaming.

You recommended a 1800x which is overpriced, outdated and lacks a cooler.

And sticking to something because you've always used it instead of buying something different thats cheaper and better for the application is what causes stagnation in technology. Do you want another 5 years of quadcore refreshes?

 

[sizzling]

In the benchmarks I’ve seen the 8700k beats any Ryzen for gaming & streaming. Ryzen wins against other Intels but not the 8700k.

So any Idea why my PC may be freezing? Everytime I open an app my PC locks up for a few seconds. Sometimes when I type It takes a few seconds for the text to actually register. Also I love how Chrome doesn't load my webpages anymore but Firefox/Edge do.

Full Specs btw:

i7-8700k 3.7ghz Turbo Disabled w/Cyorig H7
Palit GTX 1060 6GB
HyperX Fury Black 2400mhz 16gb
CiT 850w PSU

 

[scottwebb61]

So I get 100fps In CS:GO all low settings. 45fps In PUBG. Something Is obviously wrong Inside my PC. I just don't know what. I guess I'll have to take It Into a shop.

What is your hard drive?

 

[scottwebb61]

128GB SSD & 1TB HDD 7200rpm

 

[bmockeg]

Ok,you are going to need to be as specific as possible. What brand for your hard drives? Are they new, if not, how old? What is on the SSD? How much space is left? What is on the HHD?

 

[scottwebb61]

WDC. HDD Is a few years old but It was fine before I changed the parts for these. SSD Is probably the same. SSD Is my OS/Internet and one game. HDD Is all my backup Pictures/Films etc.

 

[bmockeg]

How much space is left on the SSD?
