tbh, u can squeeze much more out of it.

What cooler do you recommend for a slight overclock btw? I heard hyper 212 can withstand pretty good.
slight overcolock? I only do major overclocks. I would go with an h80i or the h100i for liquid cooling. Air cooling is risky and you can only overclock a bit. I never use a fan. I always use a liquid cooling situation. @daze23 might know more about overclocking on air, as I just know overclocking with liquid cooling.

Question: I have a Raidmax Volcano power supply (630W) that I thought had gone bad (my PC kept shutting down when I was playing RE: Biohazard). It turned out to be something else. I bought an EVGA 430W power supply. Is it worth hanging onto since the Raidmax is mad old, or does it really even matter?



Uh, this so-called girl built her own rig, and it's still in a raggedy-ass Origen AE HTPC case.
I was being facetious, but in all seriousness, name a legit reason to pay way more for a Mac, especially since they now use Intel hardware. They're for girls and people who don't know better. It's not really a disrespect thing, but I can't understand using that junk.

Basically im looking for like 4.5ghz. Its all I need for what I do (its a workstation).

I might cop an E5 though, i hear they are better for workloads

Liquid cool with an h80i corsair. You'll get 4.5. The h100i, which I have, is more for 6-cores

Btw, liquid cooling is easy as shyt with the corsair coolers. The thermal past is already applied. It's just a plug in, screw, and that's it

Yeah unless you have a specific task that needs to be done on Mac OS I would not recommend a mac at all.

My personal favorite is the MSI Stealth.

So I just checked out the stealth and razor they are for gaming...I don't play games

No water cooling on my Titan x ps.

I have the h100i on the top of my case, pull. I've never even reached 70c. You can do push pull, but I think it's overkill with the h100i

Its not about gaming. Its about performance for the price. If it's not aesthetically pleasing to you, just get the next surface book that is due out soon.

Nah it's cool. What do you usually do on your laptop?

The dedicated graphics + true quad core processors is what I consider important. You don't want to get stuck with a dual core at this point in the game and integrated graphics.
