My upgrade no Longer AMD FX8350

Now running I7 -3770K

Pics are kind of crappy took them with my phone

Tommy,

The TUF armor mobo looks awesome in the Element V Blk. Edition ! You are going to enjoy the 3770k as well. I can't get over how clean the case looks, great job with the wire management ! Beer time soon........

Beer time right now Guinness in hand brother

Welcome to the Dark Side.
I have just ordered a SaberTooth Z87. A bit more than $126 though.

The Darkside hell ,With the numbers you guys put up I thought you all were Jedi Masters

Intel systems do perform some tasks better, and put up really good numbers, but I just don't know if you are going to see an earth shattering amount of difference in day to day duties. You weren't rocking a slouch before.

No doubt

The encoding is what i am looking for atm for that is what i been trying to perfect

Just seems like it takes to long on a AMD system i read reviews about encoding power and for the price is was just to good to miss

I would call my change to Intel as big a jump as when I then went to a SSD.

From what to Intel?

If I am not mistaken, he was going from an AMD 8350 to a 3770K. Day to day tasks won't be the difference between night and day. When you get into specific programs that may take advantage of multiple cores, the Intel will perform better simply because the AMD doesn't have 8 true cores, and Hyperthreading is more substantial than splitting 4 cores into 8 like AMD does. Also, the Intel cores are more powerful and THAT will be noticeable when taxing all of them. If he was going from a dual or quad core AMD to this, yeah, it would be a hell of a difference. He had a solid system before the switch.

Looks great Tommy...Cheers!

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I suspect Tommy will notice some nice benchmarks but as you mention the actual speed of some routine tasks will be similar and others will blast past them. I still notice that with my change but all in all it is really......I repeat really hard to knock the 8 core AMD monster and how it over clocks for the money it's still a great option !

Great pics Tommy, even without the cooler. Very clean look. As for the encoding. Last night I just finished encoding 300 DVD movies with Handbrake. You'll find out if you are stable or not with Handbrake. I passed 18 Hours of prime, 12 hours of AIDA and 20 passes of IBT, but the first DVD I put in I BSOD. just keep bumping the Vcore.

That's a great looking rig. You'll like it, I think.

 

[ganjiry]

looking good Tommy Got yourself a proper good bargain there mate.
My new case comes today so i'll have some pics up later I'm gonna have to use my phone though as my mom has jacked the camera.

Well, let's see, the other CPU is AMD. I had/have two, a PhenomII X4 965 Black and a PhenomII X6 1055T, I still have both of them, wife uses the X4 965 system, the X6 is a backup machine.
The entire Intel experience compared to AMD is different. The Intel systems reboot faster, programs open faster, graphics render faster. This was with a spinner drive and a i5-2550K. To me after being on AMD systems for years it was a big kick in the ass by simply changing to Intel CPU and board.

It may be an exaggeration to say it was as big a difference as going to a SSD, but there definitely was a big noticeable faster change. My Intel and the wife's AMD system both have SSDs now and hers is still noticeably slower in general.

Ok Gary, I gotcha. Intel chipsets do have several advantages, including SATA performance which is the biggest gripe of AMD users.....the lackluster motherboard support and performance, that and the underpowered CPU cores of course.

 

[essenbe]

Don't forget Ram performance also.

 

[Britton30]

Yeah Steve, Intel can run RAM about 4 times more efficiently.

 

[ganjiry]

Here's a size comparrison
I got a shock n half when i opened it lol as the protective bag was proper charged.

 

[paulpicks21]

It's a mammoth mate! Will it actually fit on your desk lol.

 

[ganjiry]

haha yeah i pre measured it I just need to move my monitors to the left a few inches
Time to crack on then i think before i fall asleep.

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Exactly what case is it ?

 

[paulpicks21]

Good luck Ryan.

It's a Corsair Air 540 Bob.

 

[COMPUTIAC]

Thank's Paul, can't wait to see your new one also.
