Tell me the best way to test overall temps, and I'll post them (if that's what you mean by thermals)

All I have right now is this after the stress test:

That is pretty good.

Best way to test temps? HWMonitor, just the reports from the MOBA in BIOS too.

Try OC'ing to 4.5 on all cores. That seems achievable. What cooler are you using? Do you have air flow over VRMs?

Case came with two 140mm fans. The CPU also has a CM 212 on it. I took out all of the extra 3.5" slots so air could move easier.


Okay, so I did another test with this CPU-Z program that came with my computer. All 8 cores were maxxed out at 100% for around 20 minutes, and temps didn't get above 69°C. This was the highest things got (except for temps)

So the 8700K absolutely smashes the 7800X in gaming, idk how Intel is ever going to sell those things now and I hope anyone who got one can still return that is some feelsbadman shite 2 months later if you can't.

Not only is it significantly better average FPS, but also large difference in minimums too.


LINK

8700K vs 7800X 1080p:

Far Cry Primal: 124/98 vs 111/70
GTA5: 146/48 vs 118/29
Titanfall 2: 141/126 vs 131/125
Sleeping Dogs: 275/112 vs 225/87
DOOM: 188/137 vs 162/86

The 8600K 6c/6t has almost the same exact results of course. The 8600K is where it's at for price/performance here. $250 for 6 cores with 7700K level gaming performance.

I can turn it up more in the BIOS. That is the middle level of three. All I have to do is click a couple of buttons, and it adjusts everything. Not sure I want to try and max it out though. 4.3Ghz works well for everything I'm doing, plus it still has that Intel turbo boost thing that goes up to 4.5

It's fun to watch Intel squirm.

Small, but accurate report of market.

Sold half my shares last year. Kept the other half.

If only the gpu division could step up...

The CPU division should be fine with LP(leading performance) vs LPP(low power plus).

Refresh could be interesting.

Lower latency memory has also done well for AMD chips vs Intel.

So I just stooped down to the heathens and bought an Xbox for CoD next month. What's the best capture card so I can still stream from my PC?

Edit: And I completely forgot I'll have to buy a brand new monitor for it too since my Crossovers don't have HDMI

To his defense.

Console was where it is this year. I played much more on my Switch and Pro over the PC in 2017. 2xTitan X Pascals really going to waste.

You can buy an active converter for it but they are like 150-250.

I don't really play shooters. Unless you count Destiny which is like a Borderlands to me. More RPG in it than traditional shooter.

Agree.

The only time you should truly question which platform are multiplayers. PC online communities seem to die out quickly while consoles stay healthier for a lot longer.

Microsoft finally fixed the 'HDR and advanced color' issue with Windows 10 so that it actually works full time now. Since they released that option in April it has been broken causing your desktop to be incredibly dim and damn near gray scale.
