It seem lot people talking bout Xeon processor... Can replace with the i5? And MSI motherboard durable?

Thanks
*
xeon is i7 in disguise with slower 0.01ghz speed and no integratedGPU, so that is why it is cheap,
xeon blows away all i5, even the OC

for now, it would not seems like significant for gaming,
but we've seen that next-gen gaming starting to make use of hyperthrading,
so xeon woud come in benifit

as for MSI, yup, it is a reputable brand

thanks bos smile.gif

any ideas how do I make my rig quieter?
*
there is always DIY solution,
one of it using rubber fan mounts on ur fans,
like this:

another one is find urself a sponge/foam sheet as sound dampener,
layered it inside ur casing

or else, easiet solution which is costly,
u have to buy fan controller n silent fan icon_idea.gif

Hi all,

I would like a recommendation for 120 fans, would like to attach it as intake fans. Was looking at Noctua and Corsair fans yesterday, not sure which one I should buy. Also considering Cooler Master Jetflo fans too.
*
not sure on noctua n corsair, but review state that jetflo is noisy

Well my astrix mobo decided to die on me, so just a thought of replacing it only. :/ Budget around RM400, all peripherals are going to reuse.

Cant recall which i5 I was using, but definitely not a powerful one. tongue.gif
*
because if u cant give us the series of the i5, it is hard for us,
as cpu having different socket, so mobo choosen must b compatible with that particular socket,

the easiest way to identify is, gve us ur current (died) mobo model number

Was planning to get 16GB RAM.

How is the MSI motherboard? compare to Z97X

another option is if u lucky still can find msi z87 G43 around rm369,

N the casing can swap with thermaltake vesa h25 rm150

If u wanna go for OC build, u might have to ditch the ssd first, because ur OC build nid cpu cooler,

Might be getting rid of watercooling soon and upgrading my mobo, GPU and casing.

Any thoughts on the new MSI Z97 USB 3.1 based motherboards? Or should I stick to the current selection?

Budget: RM1700 for casing and mobo. Wanna leave at least 2.3K for the 390X.

What is ur current setup?

I'm getting BSODs on a fortnightly basis now also. All when playing BF4. Sigh. The latest patch really screwed my PC up. Before this no BSODs for almost 5 months straight after the build.

That is a gud mobo, i dun see any significant of changing it,
when u say patch, u mean by update the mobo bios?
Have u tried hardware troubleshoot? Reseating all component?

Even if it does, I don't have the receipt of the purchase. I bought it from someone in this forum. sad.gif

ask em where he bought it, usually shops have record based on the serial number,

like mine, bought from viewnet, lost the receipt, just emailed them the serial number,
they provide me the digital copy of the receipt

Hey guys.
Basically, I'm planning on upgrading my pc case and I'm not sure whether to get a full tower enthoo pro or just a mid tower case. I am planning on a mild overclock with air cooling using the hyper 212.

enthoo pro is mid tower,
but it shud do fine n ventilation looks nice,

u also might wanna look on nzxt s340 too

Urm Bro,
If the xeon supports only upto 1600mhz and the mobo up to 3000mhz. then  if i want to upgrade my rams in the future , I have to pick 1600 mhz rams?
ty
*
if i were u, i would not be worriying RAM speed too much,
i can say they bring no significant boost on both rendering nor gaming,

and another thing, if u pair 1600mhz ram with 3000mhz ram, they both will tune down to the lowest clock,

so that build will do just fine for u
