I need feedback on some new PC parts I've ordered, it's a limited budget build, I need it just for gaming. my old one is just... well, old. I'd love to hear your thoughts, and suggestions for a case and fans (nothing too crazy).
very very solid build, have you bought the 16gb of ram? because it's fine to have 8gb unless you're doing video editing or streaming or rendering stuff.
Other than that its a very good build that has great overclocking and high performance gaming.
I have a Sabertooth 990fx R2 and it works incredibly well for me. Never had any issues, auto overclocked my CPU to 4.3GHz which was plenty for me. Not saying Cathsy is invalid, I'm simply stating my experience.
I chose that MB because of the "TUF components" thing, and a lot of people have said the same thing as Boom. but the M5A99XF is a great choise too, it's almost the same as the Sabertooth, and a little cheaper.
I just have had better experience with it. I never used the auto overclock so im not sure about that. I know the M5 has a tougher VRM, my temps were much lower on the VRM on the M5 than the Saber tooth.
Sure. Not saying the Saber tooth is crap or anything, but I was able to get a higher overclock at a lower temperature than on the ST. FX overclock is usually limited by the VRM temps long before the CPU temps. =O
