Buy Z97 LGA 1150 Mobo in 2014

with jews you lose
Hudson Wright
I'm still on a i7 2600k
Kevin Powell
>LGA 1151 now supports 3 generations.
It does?
Robert Cook
>mfw stuck with a 4690k and it just works when overclocked
Justin Reyes
>MFW i overclocked my 4690k to 4.3 ghz And i can still get drops below 50 fps in BF1
Chase Diaz
Nathan Fisher
4.3? That's low
Go for 4.6 at least.
Henry Wright
Sell you 4690k and mobo for 300 and buy AM4 board and Ryzen 3
Justin Gray
Yes, provided you mod your BIOS(Many steps, allow Mobo to detect 8+ threads, mod the VBIOS etc), cut off 2 pins on the motherboard, short 2 other pads on the CPU for SKTOCC, downgrade the Intel ME to a vulnerable version so you also need to run ME_Cleaner and still be vulnerable to a Ryzenfall-tier exploit.
Unless you run Asus Maximus/Sabertooth Mark 1/AsRock Supercarrier tier boards the VRMs cannot handle a 9900K anyway. However, paradoxically, people who can afford a Maximus can also get Maximus Z370/Z390 motherboard so yeah.
Maybe the Sabertooth Mk1/S guys want to preserve the old TUF and mod it, that is only somewhat(actually not really) sensible.
Matthew Ross
Just... buy a new board?
You can get LGA 1151-300 Z boards for like $90. Entry level chipsets can go for like $50.
Why is this such a problem? Intel is a bunch of fucking kikes, don't get me wrong, but what is the problem with replacing your mobo? The price? The process?
Brayden Powell
>You can get LGA 1151-300 Z boards for like $90. Entry level chipsets can go for like $50.
Good luck with your TUF Z390 GAYMEN motherboard which will have toasty hot VRMs running anything above a 8350K
Christopher Diaz
non FIVR chips are a downgrade anyways

Feels good, got a x299 EVGA Dark for 250 brand new and waiting for the the 9800X 8 core 16 threads 44 pcie lanes to add my 1080TIs in sli full 16X bandwidth and both at 12Ghz memory. Cpu will hit 4.8Ghz cozy
Dylan Perry
And?
Voltage regulators can handle temperatures well over boiling.
Leo White
Thats what you get for buying intel
Jonathan Sanders
>Voltage regulators can handle temperatures well over boiling.
Yeah...no.
Justin Ward
That might be true as boiling point depends on the material and atmospheric pressure.
Zachary Foster
same here, overclocked to 5 GHz and it just werks
Andrew Davis
>Go on Ebay and search for 4790K thinking they must be cheap as 'chips' by now.
>Find out there are actually very few for sale and people are bidding up to £200 for one.

Best proc ever
Josiah King
Oh. Also if it wasn't for the fact I am running DDR3 I would just go out and switch it out for a 2600 and motherboard instead for not much more than that. It kinda pisses me off DESU. There is no fucking way no way a used 4790K should be more than £100. Tops.
Gabriel Williams
£345 for a 4 year old(?) dead end socket

my 4690k works without oc
David Wood
One socket a year keeps goyim in fear.
Camden Perez
>buys unlocked processor
>doesn't oc it out of the box
money wasted
Ryan Price
but they're stable to 5GHz...
why would you waste your money like this?
Jeremiah Cooper
I got it cheaper than the non K version was priced at in stores.
Dylan Cruz
Why does it matter if you will buy a new CPU 4 years from now when the motherboard craps out?
Zachary Cooper
No, LGA 1151 only supports Skylake & Kaby Lake, 2 generations and it's not compatible with Coffee Lake 8000 series or Coffee Lake Refresh 9000 series
LGA 1151v2 only supports Coffee Lake & Coffee Lake Refresh, 2 generations, it is not compatible with Skylake or Kaby Lake
Cameron Rodriguez
you can still oc it though, makes a decent difference and it only takes 15 min
Tyler Garcia
I have more of a gpu bottleneck situation - I'm running GTX770. By the time I'll have enough spare money to upgrade I'll probably bin the whole thing and get ryzen and navi.
Andrew Ortiz
if you only game then i understand the sentiment, faster compile times were worth it for me
Ethan Russell
4690 is shit anyway
Juan Rivera
>intel
Should have stayed on Phenom till Ryzen. Best upgrade path.
Joseph Wright
>Buy Z97 LGA 1150 Mobo in 2014...
>becomes outdated in 1 year
It did? All three of my rigs still run Z97 or B85
Adam Robinson
I hate this shit
I wanna buy a new build, I know that AMD takes much, much longer to change sockets so it's more convenient, but I'm afraid of AM4 dying by next year. With Intel, one socket a year keep the goyim in fear though. I just want to have a build that I won't need to upgrade for at least 4 years.
Jaxon Moore
>I just want to have a build that I won't need to upgrade for at least 4 years.
Pretty much any high-end build you do now will be fine in four years. Haswell is four years old now and they're fine too.
Bentley Brooks
Even if AMD upgrades from AM4 ( they wont ), do you really need to upgrade your motherboard and CPU that often?
I am still using LGA 1155 motherboard with Ivy bridge i7, no desire to upgrade for at least next 2-3 years
Carson Wood
I was thinking od an R5 2600, bt then someone tells me to go for the 2600X, and someone else tells me it ain't worth it and back at the 2600.
Kevin Wilson
I bought my Haswell shit new back in '14, I got cheapish i5's which were midrange like the R5 is now. A couple years later I upgraded to almost top of the line i7's from ebay.
Henry King
This is the answer. I just bought a 2600x system, but I'm keeping my other system and maybe just sticking a 3770k because CPU evolution has been absolutely shit. If you're not a enthusiast there's literally no reason to buy a brand new PC.

the vr can safely go up to 110-120C, some are rated for 140C.
