That statement is wrong on so many levels. Haha.

Overclock? Idk about that,summoning rav3n82.  

The Turbo Boost feature is a function of the Intel CPU, and both the B85 & Z87 chipsets support Intel's Turbo Boost feature.

The advantage that Z87 has is to overclock Intel K CPUs by changing the multiplier, and also to support multi-GPU configurations.

The Asus Z87-K has a TurboV EVO function to automatically overclock CPUs, but I think it is better to manually overclock, and it is also valid with Intel K CPUs, and the Xeon E3 is not good for overclocking, auto or manual, since it cannot change multiplier.

Asrock H87 Fatal1ty Performance would be a better choice in CFXing..

i3-4130      RM 349
Asrock H81M-DGS    RM 179
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz  RM 229
FSP Hexa 500W      RM 149
Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5 RM 420  (GBros)
Hey guys, I got another question again.
Since this mobo suggested to me only has USB3.0 for back panel, is there any other mobo I can use that will let me install a front panel USB?

Other than that, what is the significant difference between HyperX Fury and valueram?

I thought B mobos are for business?  Will we feel any significant improvement if we use HyperX Fury?

So, I was right that B mobos are for business! But B mobos lack what in terms of performance compared to H mobos? Take B85 and H81 for example.

Can you suggest a rig not over RM4000 including R9 290? I'm comparing between minecrafter's, zgames and your recommendation.

So, we can say that B85 is actually better than H81, features wise but without any lack of performance even though the article above said B mobos " lack many of the performance features"? I wonder what performance features B85 lack compared to H81.

What if I am interested in doing slight overclocking of both CPU and GPU, using multiple OS in it and such. I won't miss out right?

No the cpu turbo boost rely on the motherboard not on the cpu itself
As for the GPU i'm not well versed with it so i dont know which is the best and which is best value...so some help maybe?

The Asus Z87-K has a TurboV EVO function to automatically overclock CPUs, but I think it is better to manually overclock, and it is also valid with Intel K CPUs, and the Xeon E3 is not good for overclocking, auto or manual, since it cannot change multiplier.

[Budget] RM3000

[Purpose]
Mainly gaming and for movie. Looking for another desktop system that can keep up in the coming few years.

Please advice. Thanks.

Guys, need help here, i couldnt find Asrock B85M-Pro4 at digital mall pj, which alternative mobo should i go for? Asus B85m-G or MSI? Need help a.s.a.p. Thank you!

Thanks for the recommendation. What do you guys think about this?

CPU: i5-4440

Mobo: Asrock B85M Pro4

GPU: MSI 770GTX (Anyone care to tell me what's the diff with the 2gb and 4gb version?)

Ram: 8GB Value ram

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB and 128GB SSD

PSU: Please recommend me one accordingly. Thanks.

Casing: Corsair Carbide Spec-03 Casing

Liteon 24x DVDRW

Please advice, thanks.

Tom's Hardware has a report indicating that the Phantom's cooling solution is not as efficient as MSI's Twin Frozr or Gigabyte's WindForce, based on measurements, there is up to 10degC delta in performance. Does anyone have any issues with the temps of Phantoms that you are using now?

Yes, I was just wondering if someone had the experience with the Phantoms in Malaysia, and whether there was a problem encountered for the cooling performance.  The Phantoms are recommended quite often in this forum, so it is quite popular.  I was wondering if the lower cost is worth the lower cooling performance.

If I'm willing to pay a little more for a better long term solution, will the other 770s prove to be better in any other ways? Or is the phantom sturdy enough with it's lower price? I have close to zero experience with these.

R9 290 proven dem wrong.

And at that price might as well get R9 290.

I referring to this lah...
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon...90x,3728-6.html

The normal superior DCUII proven not suitable to handle the beasty R9 290 (conditionally).

Also I had a friend's 290 DCUII gone overheat for mining, LEL...

Our tests had the Tri-X produce very good gaming noise levels that are slightly quieter than the GTX Titan and GTX 780 Ti. While the card is far from inaudible, it has still taken a big step in the right direction. Noise levels in idle haven't improved at all, which is a shame. Sapphire could have engineered an extremely quiet card for work in idle, which would have benefited people who do not game all the time and want their PCs to be as quiet as possible. Don't get me wrong, the card is quiet in idle, but it could be virtually inaudible. Sapphire decided not to use the dual BIOS feature for a performance/quiet BIOS combo, which means that user can't opt to run the card very quietly but with higher temperatures or with lower temperatures but a bit more noise. The ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC does have the option, and I consider it an extremely useful feature because it eliminates the need for manual fan control via software. But with only a single BIOS, the Tri-X's acoustics (37 dBA) and temperatures (73°C) are well tuned. I would have opted for slightly higher temperatures with less noise as there is a ton of temperature headroom to do so. Remember, AMD's reference design runs 95°C, which is perfectly safe. I think Sapphire tried to focus on lower temperatures to impress people who get scared by such high temperatures, though. The ASUS DC II OC with its quiet BIOS enabled is a better choice if you want the absolutely quietest R9 290X out there, and it even comes with that backplate Sapphire's Tri-X doesn't have.

Is there a big diff between i5-4440 and i5-4570?

Btw, this is the rig i'm looking at atm

CPU: i5-4570 -619
Mobo: Asrock Z87 xtreme 3 -449
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz -229
GPU: Gainward 770 phantom - 1299
PSU: Seasonic S12 620W -299
HDD: WD 1 TB caviar blue -189
ODD: Lite-On 24x DVDRW – RM59
Chassis: NZXT H230- 215
Cooling: +- rm100
Monitor: Samsung S23C350H -524

rm3882, can anyone give me any suggestions to tweak this build for best money to performance ratio?
