thats 1440p

Balanced build there. you saved money on the CPu+platform and invested on the GFX and SSD. Smart move. :)

we are a couple of weeks away, literally, no joke.

howie, the R7 should give you better performance. Heres my testing: Also check this article: https://www.techspot.com/review/1450-core-i7-vs-ryzen-5-hexa-core/page9.html -q9u1rZXO0E So considering everything I exposed here, I believe you may be graphics bottlenecked. That 700 may not be enough anymore.

Enjoy your build, I did the jump 2 months ago myself. :)

Also, if you buy Gskill RGB kits dont use RGB software from either ASUS or Gskill. Its a known source of memory corruption issues and the fix has not yet come about.

Sorry for the late response. :] The AMD motherboards have a lesser degree of automation in overclocking. Its is more of an old school hands on experience guessing trial and error. You have to control the parameters more directly (for example, memory sub-timings). Rules of thumb: 1-Be mindfull what each timing does, if you feel you can't master it all leave those on auto. 2-Do overclocking by the book. Be methodical. otherwise you will be clueless if something goes wrong. 3-Be conservative, know where the hardware is hitting the limits and drop a notch (dont chase after the mythical 4Ghz barrier if voltages and temperatures are spiking) 4-Dont skinp on the PSU and choosing the right memory kits is paramount. I frequented forums and saw people mistyping voltages, trying to flash Zipped files or are using the wrong type of memory for overclocking etc. Most have an Intel overclocking background and are spoiled by automation (example: memory XMP profiles). 90% of the people shouldn't be allowed to mess in there TBH. This is where most of the horror stories come from. If you are uncomfortable with overclocking just go for a B350 board with a X CPU (1600X, 1800X) I've had no problems whatsoever with the crosshair VI and each BIOS iteration has allowed me to up a notch on my overclocking and stability.

Zero improvements in skylake-X from haswell and broadwell for gaming, even for multicore aware games: UIGGSxHpuoE Skylake X does overclock higher but then you have to tackle the monstrous heat output with very expensive cooling solutions. I dont think there are motherboards up to the task yet. those might come later. This is a poor showing for Intel. Im so glad I went R7 from my 2500K and didnt wait for these I9's. I would wait for Coffe lake, those promise more for gaming (6 cores 12 threads and a better suited L1/L2/L3 cache system). If you cant wait just go AMD (best CPU is 1600 right now) and use the savings to get a better graphics card.

wait for the 8700K I7 later this year, it will be faster than the 7820X for gaming and for less money. Currently the 7820X scores the same in games as the AMD R7, but the later costs half. Take your pick.

Gotta hire these guys :D WSqcdQWxgOY

gr8 job! :thumbup:

Honestly I would go Ryzen 1500 (4 cores/8 threads) on a B350 Motherboard and an RX 580 and forget about 4 thread I5 CPU's. In the long run it will be better than the I5, and youll be able to do cheap CPU upgrades. Intels platforms are dead at birth upgrade wise and are horribly overpriced right now.

The F-16 was short listed for future DCS titles in a staff post several years ago. They did say no promises, but work on the cockpit has actually started then and shared pictures with us. Ah man dont make me search for that post. Must have been like 7 years ago.

in latest news...

:thumbup:

blew my mind away. SBenttZUT7A

yes :D

Is there such a system for the door mounted missiles? I would be surprised if they did.

That 1800X came out lower than what other reviewers are getting in the benchmarks, my 1700X scores 159 on cinebench single thread with 3850Mhz clock for example, I have no idea why a 1800x capable of 4.1 Ghz XFR was as low as 155.

had read some pilot comments years ago that the F-35 performance was closer to the F-18 than the 16, now we know why. :)

Another change: replaced the original 2 NZXT fans with 4 corsair ML 140 pro's for push pull arrangement on the radiator. The NZXT ones make a high pitch sound when on high RPM, I found the corsair ones are more bearable (they are dead quiet at 800 RPM when not stressing the system on all cores). Temps went down 5 degrees. :)

You may want to get an I7 later (black friday after coffe lake is released). Theres another lesson to be had. 4 threads are no longer enough in the near future. The difference is noticeable now already. DCS or not regardless.

the original report states that it was a sidewinder, I saw no 9X specified. The 9M can indeed miss against the sun baked terrain in some circumstances, however another reason that might prompt a 120 launch is that the target was not sufficiently damaged by the sidewinder (there were similar accounts in the gulf war 9L's not doing enough damage and a sparrow launch followed to finish it off).

just checking the reviews for the 7900X and: those wanting multicore chips to play games should look elsewhere. It is equal or slower than broadwell-E (6900K) due to increased core communication latency (basically same as Ryzen) and that despite increased clock speeds. This results in same gaming experience as with Ryzen except with the later you can save alot of money and invest on a better graphics card. WOW it seems Intel just cant stop shooting themselves on their collective feet lately. My advice: wait for cofee lake or buy Ryzen right now.
