@GTR12: Only because the aftermarket cooler mount is broken and I've been too cheap to replace it, lol, so it's running on stock cooling just now hence the reason for no overclock. I've had that chip well past 4ghz.

@appariti0n: That was my first thought but I have other plans for the i5, it's going into another case to be used for watching YouTube and doing google hangouts.

Thanks for the help.

Having a look around at some benchmarks i think i`ll go with the Ryzen 1600....

Its cheaper than the intel -£35

Comes with cooler, again saving ~£25

and going with the Asus prime b350 motherboard i can save £55

and its easily overclockable to ~4ghz

Hi guys, so the time has come to upgrade my gaming pc.. i have already ordered a EVGA GTX 1070 SC.

I`m currently rocking the i5-2500k at stock speed... still going strong :)

I have ~£500 for the upgrade.

Is it worth waiting for the new coffee lake cpu? or just upgrade now?

I`m looking at...
i5-7600k £224

msi z270 gaming pro £140

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series DDR4-2666 16GB £135

Any reason for waiting for the new intel... and more important would the new cpu/mobo/ram fit within budget.

I`ll wait for the forums to give reviews but i can see myself getting it (unless its ~£5)

Has gta done a successful port to pc? (do they even give a **** about pc?)

Why wait so long to port?

After gta4 i lost faith... constant re-installs, windows live, wiped saved games, not compatible with cross-fire.

[QUOTE="tcf457073"]

my cpu is at 61c cpu ta max load 100% is this good i use can air to get dust out of my laptop vents before i did that was my idle temp and before i use can air it just shutdown my laptop if i was to use 100% but now my idle is 30c and max load 100% is 61C

LordRork

Looks good, but there might be a problem with your keyboard - It seems to lack the shift key or full stop key.

:lol:

Yeah 61 is fine, as a rule of thumb anything under 70 at load is good.
