Ok it's not about 6700K but a devils canyon:

"Seems to me the Vietnam chips are slightly better overall than the Malaysian or Costa Rica chips,
maybe because it's Intel's newest manufacturing plant....
I had a Malay chip previous to this and it would do 5Ghz@1.42V but nowhere near stable. "

Picked up a couple parts to get another computer up and running. A Seasonic M12II EVO 520w (Bronze, modular) and this SSD:

Nothing too remarkable about either, just cheap. The Seasonic is $35, assuming I fill out this rebate form...

So, let's see what she does! I'm going to be OCing my 4790k for the second time after a BIOS update, got 4.7 before no sweat but I completely forget all the settings on the MSI z97 I have :wtf:

I'm happy with 4 cores - 8 threads @ 4.0GHz at the moment!

My i5 was 4 cores @ 3.3GHz , i5 ran cooler though than the i7 but that's no surprise.
No Oc'ing for me at the moment, if I do I will buy a better cooler first (AIR cooler, maybe noctua).

Finally upgraded my 780 Ti to one of these- https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pny-nv...0-graphics-card-black/5838240.p?skuId=5838240

I'm pretty impressed by it. Only paid $425 for it (on sale), runs cool, OC's decently (I've gotten it a little pass 2.1 GHz without a voltage boost), and it's quieter than my EVGA 780 Ti ACX card with the fans at 100%. This was playing the new Wolfenstien game-

A new SSDs is always good. I wanna get another 500GB of SSD space (got 256+256+512 ATM,all 850 Pro's) and finally get rid of any HDDs. It's absolutely doable, you just decide not store all the crap you download on your PC forever.

I just ordered an Asrock Z370 Taichi and some Gskill TridentZ DDR4 3200 CL14 . I will be buying a I5- 8600K at microcenter later this week. :toast:
