Yes, the Xeon E3 1230 V5 is basically a lower clock speed of i7 6700 (same base clock but different boost clock) and no iGPU (not a problem if you have dedicated GPU), but unfortunately Skylake Xeon E3 is not released here yet.

If you can wait then it is worth the wait but of course you need to top up some money in order to upgrade to Xeon CPU from i5.

starting from skylake, the LGA 1151 chipsets dont support Xeon anymore... need to use "server" grade chipsets C236 sad.gif

Previously I was holding back from buying as I was also waiting for Xeon E3-1200 v5... but then after the long wait... cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif

LGA1151 is socket, Z170/H170/B150/H110 is Skylake chipset, Xeon is also using LGA1151 socket but only C236 Skylake chipset is supported.

What a sad news, Intel fixed the "exploit"    sad.gif

Oops, yea, the socket is the same, just the chipset not support, thanks for clearing it up notworthy.gif

Yea... that is why my heart and hope sank after Intel dropped the bomb,
wasted so much time wait till GST + weak RM, and in the end... have to pay more for the same i7 cry.gif

not to mention all other parts also increased in price... unfortunate at its finest doh.gif

If you want faster version then go for 7200 RPM one like Seagate Barracuda.

Hi Sifu,

Is the speed ok for a 5.2k rpm HDD to be used for running games?
Because I think my 3TB WD Blue hdd is a 5.2k rpm one due to shopkeeper dont have the stock for the 7.2k Seagate Barracuda... doh.gif

though they told me it is 7.2k rpm doh.gif doh.gif

I'd suggest those ambidextrous design like steelseries rival. If you play fps competitively check the sensors.

i dont think Rival is considered ambi, it is more to ergonomic

Ambidextrous should be left and right also same, for example Zowie FK-1:

Sorry I wasn't specific, I was referring to the rival 100 which has an ambidextrous shape.
Aha.... got it smile.gif
