Anyone can give me more reviews? I saw it at amazon here and also need an advise thanks #1 8 Replies Related Threads

At this moment that's fastest Intel in single thread... Only CPU cost almost as i7-5820K and Extreme is 30% more expensive but better option. Optimization for more than 4 cores in games start and in future will be more and more such situations and DDR4 compatibility. I mean Intel Xtreme could work and with DDR3 and DDR4 but they decide to work only with DDR4 http://ark.intel.com/prod...M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz http://www.overclockers.com/intel-i7-4790k-devils-canyon-cpu-review/ http://www.legitreviews.com/intel-core-i7-4790k-devils-canyon-processor-review_143880/9 http://www.hardwarecanuck...ormance-review-14.html http://www.tomshardware.c...3845.html#xtor=RSS-182 i7-5820K 4.5GHz/RVE10-EK Monoblock/Dominator Platinum 2666/ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon/SBZxR /Samsung 970 EVO PLus 1TB/850 EVO 1TB /EVGA 1200P2/Lian Li PC-O11WXC/EK XRES D5 Revo 100 Glass/Coolstream PE360-Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM x3 http://www.evga.com http://www.intel.com http://www.nvidia.com https://watercool.de http://www.lian-li.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMun5xiRe0 https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#intro https://www.evga.com/articles/01386/evga-sr-3-dark/ #2

A Thermaltake PS will not start my new build unless I turn on the PS switch while holding down the power button. Will be replacing it with a Corsair HX.

But HX850 cost 140$, same price is EVGA 850 G2 on Newegg but little better score, longer warranty, Eco Mode Switch can disable fan completely, full modular, sleeve set, and EVGA G2/P2 are compatibile and ready for 4th Generation Intel Haswell Processors. I'm not sure ...Is it HX series full modular? I think no... and connectors on PSU I don't like at all. TPU put EVGA 750 G2 on the top of the list best performance for price of all, and you know what Johnny Guru say about them. The Bad: Nothing. Even price is not high as most others units with same quality. post edited by Vlada011 - 2014/12/25 23:42:05 i7-5820K 4.5GHz/RVE10-EK Monoblock/Dominator Platinum 2666/ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon/SBZxR /Samsung 970 EVO PLus 1TB/850 EVO 1TB /EVGA 1200P2/Lian Li PC-O11WXC/EK XRES D5 Revo 100 Glass/Coolstream PE360-Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM x3 http://www.evga.com http://www.intel.com http://www.nvidia.com https://watercool.de http://www.lian-li.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMun5xiRe0 https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#intro https://www.evga.com/articles/01386/evga-sr-3-dark/ #4

I don't know how much power Haswell need than but something very little. He is very good for laptops, HTPC. OK 4790K is excellent and for desktop special when you enable Turbo but enthusiast more look performance improvements than efficient hardware. EVGA PSU almost all models are compatible, maybe even all. This is important, than PSU is compatible.

It is the idle power. Older PSU are not capable of delivery lower voltage to the CPU, and end up overcharging it and causing damage during idle. #7

Sometimes depend of motherboard BIOS help if Processor constantly work in high performance. Biggest problems is because some people had problems and with power supplies compatible with Haswell. i7-5820K 4.5GHz/RVE10-EK Monoblock/Dominator Platinum 2666/ASUS GTX1080Ti Poseidon/SBZxR /Samsung 970 EVO PLus 1TB/850 EVO 1TB /EVGA 1200P2/Lian Li PC-O11WXC/EK XRES D5 Revo 100 Glass/Coolstream PE360-Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM x3 http://www.evga.com http://www.intel.com http://www.nvidia.com https://watercool.de http://www.lian-li.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHMun5xiRe0 https://xdevs.com/guide/2080ti_kpe/#intro https://www.evga.com/articles/01386/evga-sr-3-dark/ #8
