Despite me still rocking the 2600k I now have available funds for this and if I don't buy soon I'll no doubt waste those funds on life and bills. I'd love to wait and see how good Ryzen 3 is going to be and what Intel do in response but that's 3 months until we see them and another 8(ish)...

I would agree with everything you say MrBrains regarding 1080/720 on Twitch apart from Twitch doesn't have a 6k limit. That is until I checked VOD's and it looks better on 1080, the gameplay is slightly worse but the improvement in static graphics and my camera make the 1080 worth it. It looks...

Yup Twitch streamer and 8k bitrate user on old OBS with fairly ok quality. I'm not keen on NVEnc without the RTX quality improvements as its not as good as x264 medium but its what I'm using now as my 2600k cant handle 720/60 anyway. Its the specific quality improvements on RTX cards I'm...

I have i7 [email protected] and a GTX1080 but was holding out until I could afford a decent 8 core CPU. Had planned on i9 or Ryzen 3x but with the release of the new OBS (tie up with Nvidia and new NvEnc means roughly 1080p/fast) I'm wondering if having an RTX for 1080p streaming is going to be...

I'm in the same boat, [email protected] on custom water and has been rock solid since day 1 with little tempting me but after building my mates Ryzen system just before Xmas it got me thinking of Ryzen 2. Do I wait, do I pull the pin on a 2700x/9900k now. ARGH!

Based on current 2700x pricing, that's a pipe dream for a launch price IMO

Always get 2l if you think you might be close. My old loop took a shade under 1.5l but that was with 55x360 rad and 45x280 with large res and lots of tubing

Nothing useful to add apart from how excited I am to finally have a viable upgrade from my very old but still capable [email protected]. Built a 1700x system for a mate just before Christmas and was very impressed That 3700x is looking tempting

Does anyone know if Asus plan on releasing a top tier mATX board for Ryzen? I like ROG boards and dont want to upgrade my case so I'm stuck with mATX. If i went Intel then i'd have a Maximus Gene board but nooo AMD dont get a Crosshair mATX version.

If I'm not streaming then my 2600k is almost faultless while gaming. As soon as I turn on OBS FPS drops through the floor, I only stream at 720/30, use very high cpu encoding and lanczos filtering. Pet hate is not being able to read text on streams. if I didn't want to stream then I wouldn't...

My D5 vario must be 10 years old, at least. Quite simply one of the best purchases for my PC EVER!! I have a DDC in another machine and while it works ok, it does suffer from the dreaded non starting issue every now and again. That's fun when you only notice it due to CPU temp being astronomical.

Its fair to say the paste was past its best. Just finished a few quick stress tests with the Kryonaut paste applied. Happy to report back its dropped by at least 10 degrees. Was easily reaching peak temp 93 degrees before, now I cant get it over 82 degrees which is great, I also get the...

Already checked fan curve but even with fans at 100% it still reaches 90+

The card is pristine condition, it was used for about a week before my mate upgraded to a Ti and has sat in a box ever since. I'll whip it apart tonight and have a look at the paste, its the first air cooled card I've had in over a decade so getting used to high GPU temps is taking some getting...

Only owned the card for a week so cannot say how its always performed (had it off a mate who had no issues that I know of although he probably never looked at temps) Anyway, its regularly reaching 90+ while gaming. Just wondering if anyone else had one of these cards and what temps they are...

Thank you all for feedback. The itch is definitely getting worse. I game at 1440p and have done for years now, my 780 classy was amazing and has done me proud. I think its going to have to be a 2700x build. Fast enough for gaming and wont have the performance hit when streaming either.

I don't have a budget in mind, but I'm not about to go and buy an i9. I'd love an 8700k but that's the Intel fanboy in me but I worry its a bad choice. I've spent years on Intel (as have many) and even the thought of going to AMD worries me but looking at upgrade paths and cost effectiveness...

I've just upgraded my lovely 780 Dual Classy Hydrocopper to a KFA2 1080 but I think my 2600k @ 4.6ghz is sadly starting to show its age so I need to upgrade but I just cant decide to what. Main issue for upgrading is so I can stream at least 720/60

Get an i7, I went from 2500k and there is considerable difference. The microstutters were what made me upgrade. That was years ago

My 780 W/C Dual Classy is still going strong, 1080p is no bother for most things. 1440p in others and not too bad. This is with a [email protected] and 16gb. The 970 in my mates with a Stock 2400 does really well
