One of my favorite cases from that time, I know @Duality92 is doing a big mod right now in a Corsair 900D, those were my two favorite cases from that time.

We reviewed their RAM HERE in a higher rated kit. Let's see what their 3200 MHz 14-14-14 kit can do! Here's the kit in all it's glory. Performance wise, I pushed quite hard on this set, doing up to 1.8v with full 16GB in windows, I'll let the graph speak for itself, you'll easily conclude 20% performance gains overall. This chip/motherboard combo just doesn't seem to want to do over 3866 MHz, regardless of voltages, so with that into consideration, here are the results! First I put DRAM to 1.5V then SA to 1.3V and I/O to 1.3V, applied XMP with everything left on auto and started to raise the frequency. As soon as I increased to 3333 MHZ it automatically applied 16-16-16-39 timings and kept these up to 3866 MHz while tRFC was being adjusted with RAM frequency. I then started to reduce primary timings one by one and recording the results. Fastest read was 57167 MB/s with 3866 MHz 12-12-12-33-540 with really tight sub timings Fastest write was 56714 MB/s with 3866 MHz 12-12-12-33-540 with really tight sub timings as well. Fastest copy was 51199 MB/s with 3866 MHz 12-12-12-33-540 with slightly tight sub timings Best latency was an even 38 ns at 3866 MHz 12-12-12-33-540 with really tight sub timings Here's the SS for the fastest run, I use the ASRock software to be able to see the timings. I would like to thank Team Group for such a great product, I was able to push this kit so far and it didn't even bat an eye and the performance gains easily show off the quality of the product.

What's up everyone! Well today we're starting the EHW test bench sponsored log, it'll be a progressive log in which we'll keep everyone updated on how it's doing and what we're doing with it, if we're facing any issues, or if records are being broken. With that said, the first post will contain a sort of table of content and timeline of progress and will be continuously updated and improved upon.

yeah it's a 8 core, 16 thread part and quite equivalent to a 9900K.

hey bud!

stock 10700K for reference.

some higher demanding titles that esports play for 144 fps @ 1440p would be good also, like PUBG and R6:Seige. Then I think of a bit lesser known games like Hunt:Showdown. Also Minecraft RTX is a must.

Oh and I settled on an i5 9600KF for now. edit : would tomorrow 8pm EST work for you?

Get an E5 1680 V2 for it! That's what I got for my sabertooth x79!

indeed I am! and yes, there's a seller on ebay that sells pre-cut stickers (thick kapton) and adhesive copper foil with conductive adhesive. (no need for conductive pens anymore!)

I'll be doing my third motherboard soon, when I get everything in order, I'll be doing it live from start to finish.

if you want any help just lmk, it's quite straight forward when you know what to do!

You should mod that Gigabyte board for coffee lake!

nice batch of motherboards there! I'm currently modding an ASUS VIII Maximus Formula for a 8700K for the EHW test bench, the high end ASUS motherboards are really no joke! After owning so many motherboards in the past 10 years from basically all brands, these high end ASUS boards are my favorites.

that will def help, I'll be using a 16 core 32 core rig with like 16gb of RAM, 256GB NVME for the OS/VM and 1TB NVME for the cache drive!
