vibranium Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It's not that improvements can't be made here and there. I just see no room for SIGNIFICANT improvement. You are already pushing the boundaries, and the law of diminishing returns is starting to make itself felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 The substitute 950 pro m.2 replacing XP941 m.2 is granted. Man that's a heck of a drive. 2.5/1.5 gbps read/write. Eyes wide open (legs too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibranium Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Beware, the 950 Pro features heat throttling. If your case is warm, it will throttle badly. PRO TIP: mount the 950 Pro sticks with this thermal pad on the back, cut to size: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331584385885 One pad is plenty for a few sticks if you cut wisely. The exact THICKNESS is something that you have to measure for your specific rig. Note that you can compress the pad slightly. 1mm or 1.5mm works for me.

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 23, 2015 Administrator Share Posted December 23, 2015 Depending on the graphics card, as mentioned already, G-Sync or FreeSync monitor will be good for gaming. Also, buy him an VR headset, if found in the market that is. If you do that, the other things will probably not matter I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Update: He bought the cabinet. It's from HP and is a enterprise grade. It is radiator packed with a coolant. Size is pretty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to build a computer system around 10 lacs INR (around 15000 USD). I guess he will get best specs out there. I wasn't believing him but he called me after his crazy message. He is serious. Now I have got a headache. So friends, help me out and start suggesting the best components out there. I think the HP DreamColor Z24x or Z27x Monitor will be the best choice for you.

Google it. Make sure the display is IPS with fastest ms time possible, meaning 2ms is better than 8ms monitor. I doubt there are any high Hz monitors available at 4K, also do not know that Hz matters or not in G-Sync monitors or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudrax Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 I am wondering whether there is a Dual LGA1151 socket Z170 board available. I am thinking that two i7-6700K in parallel will beat the single i7-5960X. 6th gen intel CPUs can handle DDR4 memory better accompanied by Z170 chipset than 5th gen. What do you guys think? Tell me if such a motherboard exists out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me if such a motherboard exists out there. AFAIK, no. You would be looking at a dual Xeon setup. Is gaming the emphasis? If so, having massively parallel CPU power is not going to help. Most off-the-shelf games are not programmed to make use of it. If there is a difference, it is barely noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my effort to stick with the latest tech. Sounds like it won't be paid off. He will also build a server which he will remotely control with his monster PC. And yes, your are right - Xeons are the best suited for parallel multiprocessing. Now, I want your help with the RAM. I found this to be the fastest available to buy. But it's 16GB kit. I am looking for 32GB kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for 32GB kit. Looking at this, your fastest 32GB kit is 3400. It may not be available at many places right now. At these speeds 3200, 3800, it won't matter. The real world difference is going to be unnoticeable. IIRC Anandtech did some tests a while back comparing 1600 all the way to 2400 and found that real world results began to plateau. Law of diminishing returns! I can see that you make a good friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 @vibranium If you are reffering to the desktop building friend, we're friends since college days. Actually, tests apart, his intensions are also to show off. It's quite acceptable as it's a build of a lifetime. So he wants parts that are eye-popper.

No matter how great a monitor be for gaming. For me, I will never use anything other than IPS even for gaming. Reason I am saying this is that many great and recommended gaming monitors are TN panel and not IPS. There are also reasons behind recommending TN over IPS like slow response time which even I'm facing with my Dell, which causes shadow when moving objects at certain speed. But, still, TN, will never, never be as beautiful as IPS and gaming in IPS is way beyond beautiful than TN panels. The expensive monitors might have fast response times to counter that though.

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 27, 2015 Administrator Share Posted December 27, 2015 It's not IPS. Someone recommended this somewhere. IPS, G-Sync, 1440p, but no 3D. If IPS is not important than it's fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
