really it comes down to do you wanna eventually make use of skylake stuff?

idk maybe keep the lga1151 mobo and get a better cpu or wait for zen

what ever happened to skylake crashing at high loads?

I seriously never even heard of that issue..

me neither

I first heard of it as soon as my father got a skylake

sorry for wall of text

I tested it and it crashed

I dunno

that was roughly half a year ago

You should have listed the components and not send them like that.

rip this is how I had them in a text file

silverstone modular 700w 80 bronze PSU
sapphire turbo+ rx480 8gb
corsair h55 AIO

i5 6600k
ASUS Z170-AR mobo
2x8gb kit of Corsair Dominator DDR4 LED ram (it's like $2 extra for a strip of diffused white LEDs, I'm happy to pay it)

WD Blue 1TB (+my two 500GB WD black/green)
120GB SanDisk SSD (+my current 120GB SanDisk SSD)

I'm getting NBN in a couple weeks, thank fuck

tfw still on 1366

ah ok

LGA1366 is good tho

I have 2 intel i5s from some socket that I havent tested

I wanted to get an EVGA SR2 at that time

I dont have a mobo to test it on

but ohboi

I find nothing wrong with my current pc, and I'm still happy with it

what do you get ?

I just need a gold/plat psu

psu fan noise is abhorrent

coil whine?

nope, just heat

the fan just gets loud

I've already switched the fan with another one

gonna get a 80+ gold 650W evga psu
