That Pentium 20th Anniversary edition sounds pretty cool too. Finally an unlocked lower end chip. Depending on pricing, this could be terrible news for AMD.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

It could even compete with the lower end Kaveri chips due to their integrated graphics. My pentium has them at any rate.

 

[stickg1]

I don't want it for the graphics. A Haswell Pentium would still win handily in IPC.

After reading through Haswells refresh news, I might just sell the intact boxed i7-4770K I have with me now if and when I see that the i7-4790K performs better since I haven't bought a mobo and ram set to go with it.

On a side note has anyone looked through the Bitspower True brass fittings range?

 

[jeremyp79]

Lut, if you decide to sell your 4770, let me know. I'm thinking about buying another cpu so I'd have pretty much all I need to build a second system, then I'll start working on doing a full water cooled system.

 

[Lutfij]

Sure will! Lets see what Haswell refresh brings and how far off my cases arrive

I read some more and as usual, it will be a totally different socket. The new Thermal Design allows drops of 10-15 degrees Celsius.

That's why I've decided to hold off the mobo purchase(and subsequently the ram) since the new mobo range may take advantage of DDR4 ram...but its just rumor upto this end.

Ok guys here is mine. Like all of our rigs, it isn't finished. At least until i decide to upgrade again in chasing FPS. Have some flashy parts coming ie back plates for my 780s and sleeved cables, along with a custom loop when i can get my old system sold.

Actually, Intel said that DDR4 will be supported.

I needed to state, I'm going for a mitx build and Z97 would seem like a good prospect. X99 due to manufacturing and chipset limitations is tough to implement on a mitx. Shuttle have been successful at it though their boards are proprietary. Compact Splash can accommodate a mitx and no larger.

DDR4+Z97 or DDR4+i7-4790K

though I think i7-4790K is sharing the same socket, thus dubbed a refresh.

Looks good.

 

[Lutfij]

Oh , i missed that post

Looking good indeed, Rache. I also had a question for you though - hows the audio o that mobo?

Effing SWEET!! I love it the native sound blows the sound of my old sound blaster card out of the water.

Can anyone offer any help with a custom water cooling loop for my system? This is the second build that i have done with a aio and i think i am prepared to go to full SITH.

 

[Lutfij]

Tell you what open a thread, overclocking>watercooling section and post a link here. I'll pop by when I have the time

 

[Mirakledba]

Guys, Something very weird is happening...In my room. OFF TOPIC BUT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW...When I plug a laptop or phone charger in this specific outlet, my PC makes the sound of a USB plugging when i plug it in, and unpluging when i plug said charger out.......o.o any ideas?

 

[jeremyp79]

So I got the new evga z87 mobo installed, and because I'm an idiot, and didnt read the specs very well, it'll either be going back or getting sold. It only has one onboard usb header, I need at least 2 for my system(front panel usb 2, corsair link for my h100i). I went ahead and splurged and got this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132038. I almost got it instead of the evga in the first place, now I'm kicking myself. I don't even want to think about how much I have invested in this system :-/. Either way, got my second gtx 780 coming tomorrow(I hope), and then the motherboard replacement in a coupla days, then hopefully I'll be done, spending money wise anyway, for a while 🙂 On a side note, if you're looking for a z87 mobo, I'll have at least one, and maybe 2 for sale in the deals section here in the next day or 2 🙂

 

[jeremyp79]

Mira, when it makes the sound, what device is connecting or disconnecting? That will help narrow down the answer to your problem 🙂

 

[Mirakledba]

jeremy, You got me wrong, It makes the disconnecting sound but Im not plugging anything into my main gaming PC..just when i plug in a charger for a laptop ALONE WITHOUT even plugging the laptop in, my PC, on my desk, makes that sound.. Think of it this way...u plug ur laptop charger into a wall outlet and ur pc on The desk makes the disconnect sound...its creepy. Very bizarre

 

[jeremyp79]

I understand what you're saying, sounds like maybe you're overloading the breaker and its causing a device powered by usb to not have enough power to run, therefore causing it to"disconnect" Finding out which particular USB device is disconnecting can help us determine if thats it 🙂

 

[tiny voices]

Yes, that sound like exactly whats going on.

 

[stickg1]

What electrical standard do you guys use over there? Is it 120v 15/20a breakers or is it European style with 240v and fuses in the plugs themselves?

 

[Onus]

As little power as a charger uses, I'd hope that's not it. Are your outlets all properly grounded? I don't just mean is there a ground pin, but are the outlets properly connected to an Earth ground?

To an Earth Ground?????

Sorry, Anyway. Something similar happened to me. I just cleared the temp folder and for some reason it worked. My problem was different as it would make those sounds even if nothing was unplugged.

This is something off topic with computers(kind of) but I just learned that the NEW HTC ONE. (The all new HTC One, that is) is being launched on may 25 for verizon only.
