Krakin Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Nice rig, I've got the same Motherboard, GPU, the i5-4690k and 2 EVO 840 SSD's and absolutely love it. You'll love that GPU, I frequently have the fans turned off as they aren't needed to cool it. Idles in the 40's or 50's, in my hot house, I believe.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Karkov Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I went from a AMD phenom 2 black edition something or other to the I5 and wasn't impressed as it seemed about the same, then more recently went to the I7 and it's about the same. I am limited by my Internet speed. Games perform the same I5 or I7 for me anyway but I don't play anything new or fancy. It's all relative. I had the I5 and my RAM OC'd then I burnt out a RAM slot on my MOBO in a Z87 MOBO so I moved them around to still get dual channel and then in time was getting blue screened again. I set everything to default speeds, reformatted, and gave it to my sister. My new PC is not OC as I just want it to be stable. Really not any faster though. Basically I don't run anything to stress my hardware though so take it for what it's worth. I really could have spent a lot less for what I need but I want it to last 4 years (maybe more) 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.
