Ordering some stuff for my first sleeving attempt from Highflow (they actually have better prices and selection than the local modding-oriented store I planned ordering from before + free shipping due to their store redesign celebration).

Planning to sleeve 4x 60cm fan extensions and 5x 50cm SATA data. I guess I can't mess up much there. I got 3,4:1 & 4:1 heatshrinks and 5m SATA data sleeve as well as 11m normal sleeve so that should be plenty for this project and some other stuff down the line.

Also the Lamptron modding kit for removing the fan connectors (my Lamptron LED stripe started to fail on me after 3 weeks but it seems the kit is the go-to tool with all the adapters and stuff). I still need a heat gun but I'll probably pick up the Proxxon Micro here in Germany. I love their tools, have served me well plus the heat gun is not that expensive.

Anything I'm missing? My personal checklist is complete but I thought I'd check back with PC GAF before I place the order.

Hey all,

I've recently pulled the trigger on a fairly decent build.

I7 6600k oc 4.5ghz
256gb Samsung m2/1tb mechanical
Gtx 970
16gb ddr4

I've been seeing a lot about the 1070 and 1080 cards, but as I only plan on gaming at 1080p for the foreseeable future, is it really worth ditching the 970 now and going in for a 1070?

Or do you think I can maybe squeeze high settings for a couple of years with the above?

Upgrade when you feel like you can't sustain the IQ/framerate you want in the games you play. No need to jump on the 10 Series right at launch if you're still satisfied, especially at 1080p(60 I presume).

First problem!

Woohoo!

The three leads coming from the front-panel on my NZXTcase (ON/OFF, HDD LED, Power LED) have two black wires each. On each of these leads, one of the wires is marked with a little arrow on the connector. What is the convention? Does the arrow indicate ground wire or positive?

If you're sticking to 1080p/60, just stick with the 970 until you're not seeing that. The launch of the 10 series is a bit messy with the FE price markup, etc.

Any pixel buffs here?

I have a really strong PC that can get 4k on some games but I only have a 1080 monitor. Does this mean the 4k will just be downscaled to 1080? Is there any visual difference between a 4k game on a 1080 monitor vs a 1080 game on a 1080 monitor?

So if idle is 1.14v and load is 1.17v, you have too much LLC. Try Level 4. Adjust until the load vcore is just below idle.
You can also see that you have a big Vdrop of 0.08v! And a Vrise of 0.03v. You don't need to test this for an hour, just a minute to get the vcore reading.

Your going to need around 1.32v to get the load vcore near 1.24v since we know the Vdrop is 0.08v.
Click to expand...

Terribly sorry for being super duber daft about all of this.

I changed the LLC to "Level 4" within the BIOS. In CPU-Z on idle the field "Core Voltage" says 1,14, and when I run Prime95 with a test it stays the same but will sporadically change to 1,28 for a split second and then go back to 1,14.

I only changed LLC within the BIOS not the other voltage options.

Also I don't think I understand why I want the voltage when the test is running, to be lower then when it is in idle. Wouldn't I want to push as much power to the CPU as possible in order to make all the numbers go up?

Yup. W10 has a generic M.2 NVMe driver, so you'll be fine. You can install the proper Samsung driver after you're all setup to get max speeds.

EDIT: I did this on the z170 chipset.

You're downsampling. In short, yes there is a visual difference. The PC is rendering the game at a much higher resolution, then the GPU is rescaling it down, resulting in a sharper image.

That's very odd if the vcore is jumping from 1.14v to 1.28v.
When you run prime95 are the worker threads erroring out? Have you checked the temperatures?

The reason you want the load vcore to be slightly lower than idle is a bit complex, let me try to explain, it applies to systems from ivy bridge and older and using offset vcore.

First the difference between offset and manual vcore.

When the system is stock, the vcore scales with CPU speed. At idle you might see 1.2ghz 0.9v. At load 3.5ghz 1.25v.

When using manual vcore the vcore is pretty much the same at idle and load (depending on overall LLC, at worst you drop by Vdrop and Vdroop). This means your pushing unnecessary vcore at low speeds.

When using offset, each multiplier looks up the required vcore in a hidden look up table. It then adds the offset vcore to this value. For example, the CPU requests 0.8v at idle and the offset is 0.1v. The CPU will therefore be fed 0.9v at idle.
The CPU requests 1.25v at 3.5ghz so will receive 1.35v.
The CPU requests 1.35v at 4.5ghz so will receive 1.45v. This you test for prime95 stability.

First thing to note, if the LLC is set such that load and idle vcore is similar, the offset won't need to be as large as the offset will also need to counteract the Vdrop and Vdroop.

Second thing to note and answer your question.

If LLC is set to high, you run the risk of using too little vcore in the range 3.5ghz (stock max speed) to 4.4ghz. Prime95 doesn't test the vcore here, it only tests load vcore at max CPU speed set.
Now if your LLC is too high, you might run a +0.02v offset.
CPU requests 1.28v at 4.2ghz, therefore is fed 1.3v. But what if the CPU needed 1.32v? You have no way to really test accurately.

Setting the LLC appropriately helps mitigate this scenario.

Even for fixed vcore, your board determines the vcore and LLC response based on load, you can be flicking through web pages and find the CPU switches to 4.5ghz but actually using idle vcore. Now if that vcore is lower than the load vcore you risk a crash.

Hope that helps understand why we set LLC like this. In the end you just have to set a slightly higher vcore or offset to get the load vcore desired which is not an issue. It's how the frequency changes and guesstimate vcore for each frequency is being handled that LLC has an impact on.

Technically the arrow indicates positive, but it entirely depends upon case and motherboard as to whether it really cares which way round you plug them in. To be sure, just make sure the arrow socket into a positive pin.

The ud3p that he has is not my favorite board, I have it as well and have a 2500k at 4.5ghz on it. The board is wildly inaccurate with voltages and tends to fluctuate like a son of a bitch. I could never get llc to work correctly with it the vdroop would always kill my machine.

For instance I have.my core set at 1.34 it the actual voltages are closer to 1.43, its just a shitty board.

Oh this I was unaware of. Seems like it has a big Vdrop and droop that's for sure!

In this scenario it might be best to run a manual vcore without LLC then switch to Offset and match the offset to get the same load vcore as tested stable with manual in CPUz.

You can start at 1.35v safely in this scenario.

Fair concerns. I think if you keep an eye on the 970s you'll get a good deal when the 1070 arrives, but you'll have to be fast as they do drop in price but not much stock. I'm not sure on where the AMD cards sit in value.

Switches don't have polarity.
Black wire means negative.
Black wire marked positive.

Only LEDs will need correct polarity and you won't break it by installing them backwards. So trial and error is fine.

Sorry. Missed this. Yeah I think you're right.

Getting caught up in the hype train for Pascal when in reality I've been more than happy so far with the 970. Coming from an a8 5500 and 750 ti has already been a revelation tbh.

I am really wanting to do a Mini-ITX or small Micro ATX build for my next PC, but I am having a hard time deciding on a case. Most of the best looking ones seem to lack features or room for full components or just cost A LOT of money. (Looking at you Lian Li tempered glass cases!). I want something like the Lian-Li PC-O6S that shows off your build well and looks super clean. I suppose I have time to decide because I am still hoping to wait for HBM2.

So I can get an X99 5820k build with 16gb ddr4 for around the same price as a z170 6700k 8gb ddr4 build. Which is the better choice?

Is there going to be a new 6core coming up or is that the only choice for now?

It's gonna be used for gaming primarily with streaming, 3d modelling, and some light video editing.

I'm edging toward the 6 core just because, ya know, 6 cores.

I love my Phanteks Pro M; can't believe a reasonably budget case is so good.

One question, though - I only have one fan at the back (140mm I believe).

Should I get a 200m fan to put on the front? Or a couple of smaller fans to put on the top of the case? It's not getting super hot at the moment, but it's pretty cold in Australia at the moment but once we hit peak summer it'll be burning up.

Guys, I have a question. It's more laptop related. Right now I have a laptop with an Intel i5 5500u without a video card. It's garbage when it comes to graphics.

I'm wondering if it's smarter to buy a laptop with a good APU, or a CPU + GPU combo. I'm aware the latter is more powerful, but I've always been an HD7850 level customer when it comes to cards. I'm happy if I can run high on 1366 x 768 at 60fps. I'm looking for a more cost effective solution. I'm trying to research AMD's APUs, but I can't figure out which ones are for laptop. I keep running into Desktop APUs.

Seems fine but planing for SLI in 3 years isn't a good idea.

1.) SLI support is mostly bad and I doubt this will change in the future.
2.) Selling your old card and getting the corresponding successor is the better solution in most cases. E.g the 980 was released ~ 20 months ago. And the successor card already performs around 2x980 (sli) levels.

3.) Your plan is like buying a 780 (back in the days) and now buying a second 780. From todays perspective that's not reasonable. The new 1070 will (probably) perform around 980Ti levels and the 980Ti is alread faster than 2x780s. I'm willing to bet that this won't change and that 1x"1270" will outperform 2x1080s in the future.

And you could go for a PSU with less wattage if you decide to not go for sli in the future.

I was hoping someone could provide a bit of advice. I'm currently using two BenQ 24" 1080p TN monitors. Would you say that I'm robbing myself of a significantly better gaming experience by not upgrading? Is the difference between TN and IPS enough to justify the expense? With a GTX 970, could I really even make good use out of something with a higher resolution? If I went with a 1440p monitor, I'd probably be incredibly bothered by a dual monitor setup where both screens aren't the same. I'm really just thinking out loud a bit, but if anyone wants to weigh in with their person experiences, that'd be fantastic.

Hmm. I think I'll end up doing that instead.

Thank you!

Guys, I need some quick help, I don't think it'll take a long time. I just received a new 4TB WD Green HDD and have connected it internally in my computer but it doesn't show up in Windows finder, or in the Disk Management window were I am currently at. What do I need to do, and how, for it to be recognized by Windows 10?

[edit]
Never mind, I figured it out.

That's very odd if the vcore is jumping from 1.14v to 1.28v.
When you run prime95 are the worker threads erroring out? Have you checked the temperatures?

In Prime95 I run the Small FFT test with no errors and 0 warnings.

Temperature is between 45c and 55c degrees according to HWMonitor.

HWMonitor also says that CPU Ccore Minimum is 1.128V and Max is 1.152V. The field "Value" says 1.140V
