I'm just curious why winXp.


Per default and with minor tweaks, XP has the best file explorer and search in my opinion, you can get close with Classic Shell in Vista and later, but not fully. The overall experience with XP anno 2015 is quite good regarding speed, security, etc. User Interfaces, ease of use and familiarity means a lot to me, I generally hate to be forced to use new stuff when the old is just as good or better. I like running/testing old games/apps and comparing win versions. Been using XP for almost 15 years, don’t want to give it up just because Microsoft tries to kill it off, and lie about almost everything imaginable, such as all new windows are always better than the previous, etc.

3770k is only about 8% faster than 2600k

6700k is about 32% faster than 3770k, so no major disaster for me

yes, most people get provoked when somebody says, that sometimes, old is better than new

My final fully compatible XP rig. Bought the first parts two years ago when there was a chance they’d disappear from the market soon. Have made big sacrifices in order to have near-full XP drivers (would’ve bought Haswell or Skylake otherwise). Ivy Bridge is the last platform with official XP support. I even bought two extra i7-3770k’s and the top z77 boards from Asus, Asrock too (yes, very sick and disturbing :-/ ) just to be sure I’ll be able to have an XP platform forever. Five SSds, one for each OS from XP to 10.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP7
i7-3770K
G.Skill TridentX Series 4 x 8 GB 2400 mhz
Corsair AX860
Asus Xonar Phoebus Solo
5 x Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB
4 + 8 TB HDD

No graphics card yet, will await Nvidia Pascal to see if XP drivers will be available, if not, Geforce 970/980.

This is what happens when silly nerds spend too much time at home.

fu popcorn time


i hate stuff that gets popular due to ease-of-use, but lacks options for advanced control ... popcorn time is an example of that

its a sickening trend these days ... stuff has to be so easy so that apes will be able to use it, but as soon as you want to do a little customization/control, you hit a brick wall, just like in smartphone apps

i think it's a sign of iqs dropping last 20 years, and women and underdeveloped countries entering the comp scene

popcorn time is an example, easy but limited .... what if you want to:

- run frame by frame
- loop section
- change aspects ratio

and trillions of other things ... you can't

dowloading mov torrents, then using vlc, is incredibly easy, and allows more control. overall a much better option imo

the number of movs available via torrents are also much higher

Here we go with the misleading advices again.

Some people have no self-criticism and never question whether what they're saying is factually right or wrong.

Anybody can say: Buy the best/fastest/biggest/most expensive product, but that makes no sense in most cases since the vast majority have a limited budget.

The quality of the psu is relevant as well. Some cheap high wattage ones are of poor quality.

I'd rather buy a quality 600w psu for syndrums build, than a cheap crap 900w one.

i7 ~ 90 w
geforce 970 ~ 170 w

Intel cpus below 100 w run cool and quiet with stock a cooler at 25 degrees room temp and below

same with that asus 970 card mentioned

same with a decent psu

no need for extra air flow

some people are obsessed with cooling for no valid reasons, often the same who buy amd, like bling and stuff that looks neat but has no purpose

#1161 Re: Technical Help » Advice needed to build computer » 2015-09-30 11:10:16

don't buy extra cooling, don't listen to people who have no idea what they're talking about

stock ventilation on cpu, gpu, psu is fine

for almost the same price you can get a motherboard with the top chipset z170 instead of the b150 you mention above

some z170 boards sorted by (danish) price, should be comparable to euro price ranges:

http://www.edbpriser.dk/hardware/bundko … ?chipsaet=[Intel+Z170+Express]&count=10&sort=TotalPrice&rlm=List

ASUS Z170-P D3 can be bought for 100 € in germany

note that some mobos use ddr3l, others ddr4

futhermore, socket am3+ is an old partly outdated platform, it was introduced in 2011, while z97 boards are from 2014. skylake is only a few months old.

asus strix 970 is a better card for the same price in my opinion.

amd cpus are crap ... buy intel ...

that cpu is the best example of how much amd suck ... it's just an overclocked piece of silicon, due to amd being stuck at 32 nm, due to the intelligence in that company being too low. they've been at the brink of bankrupsy for a long time. those overclocked cpus have shorter lifetimes, the cooling is noisier, and they use much more electricity, so they are more expensive to run. yes buy a 4790k/6700k if you want a true beast, but an i5 at half the cost is a good deal too.

that psu is sufficient for intel, and borderline for amd

Visited Max hamburger today, their servings taste ok, but they’re slow and expensive, 9 euros for a medium sized burger.

My favorite all-time foods is the classic grill stuff; pizza, burgers, fries, misc. dips, milkshake, soda etc. If if weren’t so darn unhealthy, it’d be what I’d mainly live off for the rest of my life.
