(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)Hello,you can get 6 or more Intel cores today if you build a system based on LGA2011v3 / LGA2066 motherboard and one of Intel HEDT processors: Intel® Core™ X-series Processors Product Specifications That's more expensive, but definitely future-proof (a new generation of CPUs has just been released*, and another one won't be coming anytime soon); aditionally you get bigger L3 cache, twice the RAM bandwidth (when using 4 DIMMs), and CPUs with soldered cover that are able t…

Titan XP is even more powerful than X: NVIDIA TITAN Xp | techPowerUp GPU DatabaseThere also seem to be two different versions of Titan X: old one with GM200 and new one with GP102. I was thinking about the old X, but those tests were made with GP102 which is faster than 1080 - sorry, that's my mistake.Also, the tested CPU was a 10-core i9-7900X, but for Skylake-X with fewer cores gaming results are worse: example (in Russian again).Core i7-7700K is indeed the best gaming CPU today. With Kaby La…

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)Response times / latencies do not increase with clock speed! There is a common misunderstanding about it, caused by usually higher RAM timings for higher-clocked DIMMs.Timings are given in clock cycles which is a relative quantity; to calculate absolute latency (in seconds), one should multiply a timing value by 2/(clock speed in Hz).More details: Memory timings - Wikipedia For example, absolute CAS latency in the above two cases would be 19*2/4266MHz = 8.9 ns and 16*2/3…

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)First reviews published today confirm that Coffee Lake CPUs still have the old ring bus. So they can be a good choice for gaming.

On my ASUS motherboard, the BIOS asked me whether to enable MCE or not - that was either on the first boot or when saving overclocking settings (I can't remember now). It is an old motherboard though (for 1150 Haswell CPUs). In my experience, there are no negative effects: under heavy multi-core load the CPU frequency is still reduced by Turbo Boost, and when idling or working single-core it doesn't generate much heat. But I could run some tests for you with MCE on/off, if that helps. Anyway, a…

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)When MCE is enabled, one should also be able to control max multiplier for different number of working cores (just checked - I can do that with my motherboard).If you don't want to overclock anything, just set multipliers to Intel's default, and problem solved \o/
