Yeah, IPC is the same but at least it can go with 5+Ghz.

Can it? Source?

I'm all for single core performance

Gamer? But I do understand your point.

Hopefully the AMD Action this year will force some decent stuff out of Intel instead of the lazy approach. I mean, come one, even mobo manufacturers told us that they could use the same CPUs on previous gen but no, Intel wanted people to buy a whole no rig...

I hope so too.

It's possible that the most profitable (fiat/day/cost/roi) mining piece of hardware at the end of this year is Ryzen. Yes I know it sounds crazy but it's possible.

my 1800x has earned back about 100 bucks with very little extra watts.

Phil what’s the current profitability on that and you think it’s a good investment to make as of today?

I got a good price on the mobo and on the cpu

not so sure if it is worth buying I was getting $ 1.25 a day I now get 45-50 cents

the amd vega cards are being used a lot on xmr

But you could have made it cheaper, they all do 4-4.1GHz.

If only looking at roi, nothing beats socket 2011+xeon if you find them cheap. Add 3-4 gpu's without risers...

I watched a bunch of videos and a particular video was about a 7700k vs 8700k with only 1 core enabled on both to check the difference in IPC. I'm sorry Antantti but I can't find it.

To be on topic, clock by clock, thread by thread those new intel cpu's are so boring. Again. Just like they have been for the last five years or so.

Yeah, IPC is the same but at least it can go with 5+Ghz. I'm all for single core performance but still, that's pretty underwhelming.

How do you guys kill your cpu's???

well I built gaming pcs since 2008 never killed a psu. more then 150 builds.

psu's are easy to kill :--)

Quote from: philipma1957 on October 08, 2017, 07:09:47 PM

the i7 6700k when it came out had high rmas about 3-5% which for intel is really really really high.

Every intel cpu after sandy bridge should have been delidded, temp gains are massive.

Quote from: philipma1957 on October 08, 2017, 07:09:47 PM

My cpu was killed off by my friends wife a mad gamer.

She also killed the mobo. But after I got the rmas back I examined everything and the seasonic psu had a piece of a broken ferrite bar.

Those mad (gaming) wives kill everything, tell your friend he was lucky only to loose some pc hardware...

My gigabyte aorus z270 was very good

The z270 s were are really good.

I have done

A 7700 build
And a 6700 build.

The i7 6700k is the only CPU I ever killed.

I want to upgrade my main Gaming rig with a Intel Core i7-8700K, but currently NewEgg is out of stock. Has anyone done research yet on a good motherboard to pair it up with. Since this is a gaming rig it would only need to support 2 GPUs at the most and of course need a M.2 slot. I am thinking going with Asus but haven't had a lot of time to do in-depth research.

I went with an ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming i7 mostly because of the 3x M.2 slots. I'll be using 2x 2TB 960 Pros maybe even in raid0 if I go mad enough plus the 1TB 960 Pro I have for OS.
BUT, I'm heavily biased towards ASRock. I mean I've been using an x99 Extreme4/3.1 and a Z77 Extreme 4 before that and all my mining rigs are using ASRock Pro Btc boards and all of them are flawless.
Not that other brands are crap, but I just love ASRock from the smallest details to the biggest.

My second choice would have been the ASRock Z370 Taichi but that wasn't in stock.

Though, I would have liked to have a mobo with 2x8 CPU power connectors and maybe more power phases.

Anyway, the main source of my research was this article: http://wccftech.com/intel-z370-motherboard-roundup-asus-msi-asrock-aorus-gigabyte/2/

My 1.5-year-old i7-6800k just started dying a few days ago even though it was only fed 1.3V (4.2Ghz) and was cooled properly (<70°C) so these couldn't come at a better time.

I ordered a pre-binned version with replaced TIM/IHS (silver heatspreader and liquid metal TIM) from https://www.caseking.de/pc-komponenten/cpus-prozessoren/pretested-cpu?p=1&l=table4&sSort=1 because it seems the stock IHS/TIM sucks. Can't wait.

Though I'm not going to use it for mining at all.

this is the i7 8700 with a gigabyte z370 hd3

I built an i7 7700 with a gigabyte z270 hd3

I wondered if anyone is going to test the newest one.
