I literally just bought a board + 4690k Wednesday and put a ton of time into making the decision. I came from a an PII-X4 955 @ 3.7 and it deserves to be retired now. I figure intel prices don't change enough to wait, the difference in what i am coming from is still huge, and.. it's my Bday and...

I have ssh setup and use bitvise. I've not really checked a number on it, but i have transferred stuff from work and it was absolutely fine. So far as it was no wear near slow enough to wonder if something was wrong. Our numbers are according to speedtest. mine is a ubuntu server 939 opteron...

I don't quite know how to phrase a title... but I have thrown together an old comp to use for a MC server for my kids. It has been working well over lan, but my brother joined and he gets a lot of lag. Especially with mobs. Messing around, he made his own on his comp and when I connect I get...

If you are in a 1 story running new stuff is easy to do yourself. I'm in a new house with 5e used for the phone. I swapped the face plates, put a 16port in the attic and called it a day. On the other hand, I had someone come in and put in a power plug in the ceiling for a projector. They...

I assume he meant 20-40% less. Still a lot. And a 4790k can be had for 280, or a 4690 for 200. Not that that helps AMD's position.

Core Temp in windors and sensors command in linux. Don't remember if they show the same numbers, but they are showing the same split.

Have this old beast thrown together for a minecraft and media server. Have it bumped from 2.6 to 3ghz on stock voltage and has been burning Prime for a while now... but.. one core is running 15* hotter O.O. I don't know what to make of that at all. 50/51 and 65/66. All I've read says you don't...

I guess, but assuming Microcenter still has any in stock I can get a 4670k for 150 and board for 110ish after rebate. I have yet to find any concrete answer on the 90 being any real improvement in temps over the 70. Hmmm... Although I see the point in the 4790 with such a great base clock. Only...

This is likely a dumb question, but I don't get to upgrade very often. Considering the irritating way intel does their sockets, quad core has been around forever, DDR3 is otw out, and the possibilities given DX12 in the future... would you go for the top end gaming system now, or await and see...

Ya, I actually have a 905e in an htpc/steam box but those and the 910 are rare as hell. And this combo was sold from under me anyway, so back to the searching..

$30 for board and chip. Plus my current ancient 955BE needs more ram so I can hand the 4gig down to this new board. Also I assume the A2 will overclock reasonably well. I can't oc the opty at all with 4 sticks of ram.

That isnt exactly guaranteed. Like low level vid cards are new process previous generation. Not to mention Athlon has no cache.

I have the opty in a minecraft/media server and can grab an AM3/2.9 x2 combo, but I'm not really sure how much worth it may have. Besides the obvious more upgradeable chip and ram, talking straight chip power, is the Athlon 2 worth it? Been googling around but there is so little compare and of...

I am looking at building a mini-itx board for my track car for a custom gauge cluster and datalogging. Now I am curious about also using it for recording laps with it rather than a big mounted camera. And I mean the possibility of using 3-4 cameras I can put about anywhere. My first issue is...
