Parts are available for sale. Those interested, please let me know

Agreed, however, Intel can clock higher and has better IPC, isn't it a better choice for gaming ?.

Already have a 650W PSU. Why the 2700X over 8700K/8600K. Mind you, I am just gaming and there is zero productivity work.

Dear TDF Members, Hope you all are doing well. As the title suggests, I want to go for a Mobo+CPU upgrade. I am running a 1060 AMP edition right now and I am planning to upgrade to a 1070/1070Ti/Vega 56 equivalent by 2020 end. I need a CPU that can get the best out of my current 1060 and the...

Hello TDFer's, Can someone please help me with the list of websites/forums where I can sell used PC parts( processors, motherboards etc). Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Abhijit

Hello TDFer's, Both parts are 3 months old and are under their respective warranties. I am selling because I am upgrading to Ryzen. I am located in Delhi, can hand over locally or ship to your respective address. Thanks, Abhijit

Which 1060 do you have, I have heard Asus and EVGA 1060's have more overclocking potential than the Zotac card

Voltage was not touched, whatever stock voltage is supplied to the card. Fans running at 100 %, temperature never goes above 70 Degrees.

Put very simply, if a game is utilizing 100% of the GPU, OC'ing would help get you a few more FPS. Overclocking helps you squeeze a bit more performance from the GPU which you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

I am surprised, has no one ever tried to overclock this particular model ?

So I overclocked the 1060 AMP using Zotac's own Firestorm application and here is what I could achieve. Core Clock : 2106 Mhz ( + 180 Mhz from the stock clocks of the card) Memory Clock : 4350 Mhz ( +350 Mhz from the stock memory clock) Voltage was not touched. Anything above this and the...

Highly overrated, pretty useless for people who dont overclock, which is the majority of people. The quad core I3 8100 produces more FPS in all games than the Quad Core- Hyper Threaded R5 1400 because the Ryzen needs to be over clocked in order to produce respectable performance. The I3 does so...

Coffee Lake exists only to compete with the overrated extra core configs of RYZEN. If Ryzen hadn't been launched Coffee Lake processors would definitely have been compatible with Kabylake and Skylake motherboards. Intel had to supply extra power to the extra cores and that is why they needed...

When it comes to non overclocked parts, 2-3 years is the best you can get out of them, even the most powerful ones. It is generally advisable to upgrade in batches. Since you are not overclocking, I wouldn't advise going for Ryzen. Intel outmatches Ryzen by a huge margin if Ryzen is running at...
