=VG= Wooz2770 Posted August 7, 2013 at 07:13 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 at 07:13 PM So as the title says, i?m upgrading my rig, i need a new CPU and MOBO, the choice for a CPU stands between an i5( http://www.proshop.dk/CPU/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-Haswell-Box-2404672.html ) or an i7( http://www.proshop.dk/CPU/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Haswell-Box-2404669.html# ) as for a motherboard, could someone point me in the right direction, ill be using this site for all the purchasing: http://www.proshop.dk/Bundkort.htm it?s in Danish, but it links directly to the motherboard section with the filter options visible on the left side. i might also spend some money on water cooling.Thanks in advanceNote: i already upgraded the other parts of my PC, i have a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HDD ready to be installed once i get the CPU and MOBO.Edit: i have recently upgraded the case, graphics card and RAM, so that?s all in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted August 8, 2013 at 10:01 AM Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 at 10:01 AM Is see you can buy an ASUS Rampage Extreme IV on proshop.dk. It is an expensive mobo, but it's powerfull and versatile. I don't know if it's any good with water cooling. I personally don't use fluids in my computer.for review see:http://us.hardware.info/productinfo/134932/asus-rampage-iv-extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted August 8, 2013 at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 at 03:44 PM I like the MSI MoBo's - the IVY Bridge's:MPower has less SATA connections, but the Z77A-GD65 has 8, 4 of them are SATA3. Good for lots of drives... you may not need so many yourself.I intend to get one soon, and an i5 - it will take either, the i5 3570k or the i7 2600k, cost being the difference.I suppose that you bought RAM that will be compatible with your proposed MoBo. What kind did you settle on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssgshilling Posted August 8, 2013 at 09:38 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 at 09:38 PM Sucks that you cannot order from newegg.com they have that processor for $340 USD. :( Why intel and not AMD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted August 9, 2013 at 03:48 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 at 03:48 AM BTW - go for liquid cooling for noise reduction rather than better cooling - all my talks with Poff and others led me to that conclusion. And different CPU's heat differently, in different physical locations on the chip itself.You can overclock or not, but heat can be handled just fine with a good air cooler as well as it can be handled with some kind of liquid cooler as I understand it.

Sledgehammer Posted August 9, 2013 at 08:42 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 at 08:42 AM Pumps of liquid coolers can make a lot of noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instant Posted August 9, 2013 at 09:06 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 at 09:06 AM I'd go for the i7 as it has more cache if I am not mistaken (and more cores I believe).I have a water-cooling kit from Crucial for my cpu, seems to work very well.

suomikeizari Posted August 9, 2013 at 12:46 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 at 12:46 PM Depends.My air cooling system is really loud, but it matters little because I use only headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
