I went AMD the last time so fancy a change, I know the FX6300 isn't the best processor out of what was out at the time but I thought it would have been abit more powerful. Tbh my previous system I scrimped on to keep the price down and in the end it hurt me so I don't want to make the same...

Q2 2017 by what my quick Google has said, so should be out now. Apparently 200 series mobos won't work with this new architecture so that will add to the expense. Do you think it will pay for me to wait a few weeks for coffee lake? I am on Newegg now specing up a system. Might take a little...

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I am going to drop the 1080 for the ti, I can get one for just over £100 more and as you say if I want 4k easily it has to be done. I've already got a crucial 240gb SSD from my old rig I will drop in and about 2tb of spinner storage. The 212 is free with the mobo...

Hi all, The last system I built was yearssss ago, so I thought I would run it by you guys what I was wanting to buy for this build. The system is mainly for gaming, hopefully in 4k or getting close enough to that resolution. I will be playing a lot of p3d with it and would like it to be...

And tbh if it isn't under stress it isn't going to be drawing much current, mine is all disabled and my volts vary between 1.33 and 1.39 so im sure yours will be similar but obviously abit higher :)

Call me in please :)

Hmmm I don't know then. Maybe just turn them all off and plant a tree or two in your garden and get a piggy bank and put your loose change in it to cover the extra moeny needed for the leccy bill lol

Have you still got C&Q and C1E active? Congrats on the high score :toast:

Try C6 mate, that has an effect on power saving, etc.

Yeah its a lower wattage chip aswel. So in theory it should run abit cooler.

Yeah I know where the NB is lol, I just wasn't sure if the vrm heat would influence the temp of the NB, I have got a fan blowing on it also, possibly it isnt cooling it well enough though.

Yeah it's 1.25v stock so not too bad. Will cooling the mosfets help cool the NB? 70 is a rarity it usually hovers aroundmid 50's to 60ish.

It is set to 1.35 in the bios but monitoring software see's it sometimes go up to 1.38. The 6300 is 3.5 mate, max turbo is 4.1. If I had a better mobo Im sure I could push it more but I'm paranoid of frying my vrms haha I've seen the nb temps hit 70 aswel and don't really know what the...

Yeah I get that mate. It isn't crashing anymore and I don't want to push too much voltage through the vrm i case I blow it haha

Surely by the time you pay your fee's etc, it will be better you sell it for $250 or maybe ask for $260 off him then everyone's happy?
