Would the i7-6850k Benefit from 3333mhz RAM?I was planning for a future build to include the i7-6850k CPU. It's recommended RAM speeds are DDR4 2400/2133. My motherboard will be an Asus ROG STRIX X99 GAMING ATX LGA2011-3. It can support memory speeds from DDR4-2133 / 2400 / 2666 / 2800 / 3000 / 3300 / 3333. Since this is going to be an all-out build (And far in the future), I was debating whether or not to buy RAM at 3333mhz speed, since my motherboard can support it. Is there any benefit in doing so since my CPU recommends 2400mhz as it's max, or would I just be wasting money? Another small question, is there a CPU out there that is recommended to run RAM at a speed of 3333mhz?Thank you in advance,The Final Slice

When first installed - all DRAM goes to the mobos default. From there can simplay try enabling XMP which pulls the data off the SPD and trys to set the DRAM to those specs - if too high for the individual CPU (mainly it's MC (memory controller) ) then from there you can try adjusting data rate by manual manipulation of the timings/voltages and/or OC of the CPU to help the MC

i7 6850k 4.4ghz 1.34v. is my cpu too hot?Hello guys.I'm really a newbie for what concern watercooling, i have a pc with these specs:it's watercooled with a custom loop that has:i have tested my pc with some games (bf1, the witcher 3 and rainbow six siege) and stress test (Asus RealBench, CPU-Z Stress test) but i'm still worried about temperature.on idle the temps are near to ambient temperature (25c/26c), whereas in game the temperatures reach 65c sometimes 70cdespite the noise of these fans, i thought that the temperature were better. Are they normal? is there a way to improve these results? i was thinking to change at least one radiator but i don't have enough space in my case...Thanks sooner for the answers, have a nice day!

OK i did not had any custom water loop but my 6900K (which should be much hotter then yours) with a h100i v2 in prime 95 (v26.6, not the new ones) or aida64 my cpu does not go over 60 degrees C, in gaming it does not go above 45 degrees. My videocards are cooled with 2 kraken g10 bracket and a kraken x41 and a kraken x31 and they never go above 55 degrees in an ambient temp of 29 degrees. For me it seems to high for a custom waterloop which should be better then the AIO.

How does the i7 6850k perform for just Gaming?I wanna know how performs for just gaming compared to the other ones and what do you guys think on buying this one. Also whats the maximum OC for this CPU with water cooling system?

If you are only looking for a CPU for gaming the i7 6850k is overkill. Most games are single threaded and even games that are multi-threaded usually cannot take advantage of the 6850k's 6 cores. The only reason I can think of that you'd want the 6850k is if you needed the 40 pci-e lanes it provides. the 6800k performs nearly identical to the 6850k with the exception that it only has 28 pci-e lanes which is more than enough for nearly anyone. None of the Broadwell-E processors including the 6850k can overclock that well. Shrinking the process since Haswell-E has made it more difficult to transfer heat away from the CPU. My advice would be to buy a consumer level processor such as the i7-6700k if you still want to overclock.

I7 6850k, Evga x99 FTW k, HeatsinkI just built a new pc with an I7 6850k, EVGA X99 FTW K motherboard, 64gigs of ram, and various other parts. The problem I am having is that the cpu socked on the EVGA X99 Motherboard seems to not be in the standard position as other motherboards. It seems to be moved down toward the pci slots slightly. I had an NH-D15 Heatsink but it blocks the first PCI X16 slot. However, Noctua made a fix and made the NH-D15S heatsink which address that problem but EVGA moving the socket down offsets NOCTUAS fix with the D15S heatsink. At this point all that seems to work will probably be a 120mm wide heatsink. However, smaller heatsink like that wih 120mm fans do not cool nearly as good as their bigger 130-150mm wide counterparts. The question I have is does anyone know of a heatsink that is 120mm wide, provides great cooling for an oc'd I7 6850k, and wont block the first pci x16 slot on the EVGA X99 FTW K Motherboard. I have been looking into watercooling as an option but I do not have any experience with it and would not want a leak. Any suggestions would be welcomed

Best High-End Motherboard For i7-6850kI've been doing a lot of shopping around and I've decided that the price performance of the i7-6850k is great. My use cases are VR gaming and running machine learning algorithms such as neural nets. To that end I'll be either purchasing a gtx1080 with the desired ability to add multiple 1080s in the future via SLI or the new Titan X Pascal. The worth of the Titan X Pascal is a discussion for another thread.My question is, what is the absolute best x99 compatible motherboard out there? I do intend to make use of m2 and/or u2 for the main drive and would like to start out with at least 32 gigs of RAM (Fastest RAM possible and ability to go up to 128 would be nice). I'm also going to be doing a lot of virtualization of operating systems using hypervisors. Of course the first thing I think is Asus but whening I look at reviews on Newegg, they're riddled with so many people having problems with the boards dying and slots going bad. I thought I'd settled on the GIGABYTE GA-X99-Designare EX but I'm just not sure. One good review I read for that board said..."I selected the Designare EX because it was the only board that can support two GPUs in SLI with full x16 bandwidth while driving an M.2 SSD and a PCIe sound card. The latter is generally the sticking point, as the vast majority of boards now hide the PCIe 2.0 x1 slot under a primary GPU slot, which makes it impossible to properly use the sound card. Surprisingly, the ASUS Deluxe II has the M.2 port sharing resources with the second GPU slot, which in theory means SLI performance will be degraded. This board can manage that while supporting M.2 and U.2 drives without any loss of capability! In this way, I can keep my Samsung 950 Pro and upgrade to a U.2 drive in the future without compromise."Some other reviews have complained that there are no post codes, that the BIOS menus are sluggish (Not really a big deal), long POST times, and some driver issues related to networking.What are the absolute best x99 boards and how do they compare to this Designare board? I've even considered buying a multi-CPU socket workstation board but it isn't quite obvious whether or not they support i7 Broadwell-E chips; however, if I could be convinced that one of those boards would reign supreme in the x99 world, I would consider it further as of course the idea of being able to pop in a second i7-6850k later down the road is appealing.What do we think about the best high-end boards for this CPU?Thanks everyone.

Link - https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?81623-Which-ASUS-boards-have-the-PLX-chip-for-16x16-GPU-sthis is from 12-30-15" PLX" is a bit of a misnomer, PLX Technologies is (was) a manufacturer of circuit components like PCIe switches and PCIe bridges and PCIe multiplexers. What "PLX" or "PLX chip" means to most people is a chip which splices a single physical PCIe slot (or lane, or group of lanes) into more logical PCIe slots or lanes.Short version is that it doesn't matter how many physical slots are mounted on the motherboard or how many lanes can be allocated in the BIOS because the processor can simultaneously address a maximum of 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes worth of bandwidth under best conditions. There are zero performance gains once PCIe 3.0 devices saturate all these lanes (in fact, there are minor performance losses since the PLX processing part adds signal latency and complicates timings, the increased signal traffic adds packet envelope overheads, and the increased signal collisions/errors require more packets get resent). So you might be able to install four GPU cards in a PLX x16/x16/x16/x16 configuration but actual performance will be comparable to (actually worse than) a non-PLX x16/x8/x8/x8 configuration. (And, besides, even mighty 980Ti and TitanX GPU cards at full load can hardly saturate >8 PCIe 3.0 lanes in practice, especially if they're directly interlinked off the PCIe bus with a CF/SLI bridge.) Just gotta wait for future Intel processors with more integrated PCIe 3.0 lane controllers."
