Can you dorks recommend a very quiet CPU cooling fan for a I3 processor? My son's stock fan is just way too loud.

Looking at reviews, it looks like Ryzen is pretty underwhelming.

In multi threaded tasks it is at times 2x as much power per dollar. In gaming its off by 5%-10% from big clock intel stuff, and it hasnt even had time for support to form. For OPs purpose, a Ryzen 1700x will get him almost twice as much Photoshop performance per dollar. In fact, I would recommend it for this build for most bang for the buck. |

I havent kept up on kaby lake prices but outside of a Microcenter in store pickup only discount I havent noticed these price drops people have been talking about. The i5 in my pcpartpicker build I made months ago is still sitting at the same price and the i7 upgrade is still the same price at $100 more.
Are we referring to the forbes article announcing a price drop on intel cpu's linking you to microcenter when its not uncommon to see deals like that for in store pickup? And for the majority of people building their PC those in store pickup deals aren't even worth it. I live 90 mins away from St. Louis and it would take about 3/4 of a tank of gas round trip + tax added onto the price of the cpu which would be around break even with the online retail stores, so unless I REALLY need the CPU that day it's no benefit. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VKx...bx80677i77700k https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dQM...bx80677i57600k https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xwh...-bx80662i56500 Those are the 3 processors I ever really paid attention to the price and there is literally no dip in the price graphs. It's still going to take at least take one good AMD cycle for me to even think about building an AMD computer regardless of what the benchmarks are showing. Let me see in 6+ months if anything has changed with optimization. Last edited by jd1020; 03-09-2017 at 02:22 AM.. |
