    I just wanted to say thanks for the info in this video I have learned a lot. I was installing this board and ran into the issue of not knowing if It was necessary to plug into the PCI-E port on the board and not being able to find the answers out until you pointed it out in the video as not being necessary. The info about the 4k, HDMI limitation, and the video port workaround was a nice fun fact.

    If you're like me and still need Optical/SPDIF audio for whatever reason, MSI probably still doesn't pay for the Dolby/DTS licenses. But you might be able to use unlocked Realtek drivers found in a techpowerup thread, though you have to re-apply it every time Windows does a feature update.

      It's all in the name of clawing back market share and it worked! It's intel who should have shook up their naming scheme. It was a commentary on Intel from AMD and everyone knew it.

    Grabbing any B360 and setting that 8700 on all-core turbo is not a given with just any VRM setup, because it's no longer a 65W part, or a 95W for that matter. Neither does the stock cooler allow it.

    Any tips on best approach to tightening timings? I tried on my old FX-8350 and when I went from 1600 CL9 to 1600 CL8, my PC would not boot up. I had to take the little battery out of the motherboard. Does this happen with the B360 chipset as well? If the timing are "too tight" the PC won't boot?

    I am a novice builder and still doing things the 2013 way. Could you please make a video for people like me to explain things that are new or upcoming. For example, I did not know that few people use the SATA ports, and that they now prefer a NAS-based solution. I didn't even fully understand what NAS was until just now. I have U2 port on my motherboard, but have no idea what to do with it. I can not yet afford a new motherboard nor an NVMe card, and have no idea what all the Optane hoopla is about. I don't fully understand the PCI lanes going to the CPU. I doubt I will ever do a build with more than one graphics card. I only use Linux and was not aware there are problems with USB 3.1. My board has a 3.1, but I have never used it. I do not understand the new USB front header port for USB 3.1. I think I saw a case with a front USB 3.1 C port. Is that what it is for ? I have never tweaked a BIOS. Is there a novice way to do it ? I have only used ASUS BIOS. I do not know what the others offer. I don't understand the SecureBoot or UEFI hoopla ? I have no idea what is Coreboot. I feel like the more I learn, the more I am lost.

    "But hey, if audio is that important to you, then get a USB-DAC, you will be happier anyway". Well put, Wendell, words to my heart (Sennheiser HD 700 here). However, better use a S/PDIF. If the motherboard doesn't have S/PDIF then I twon't buy it. I demand proper VRM's and S/PDIF, preferably also 4 fan controllers (including 1 for the CPU, 3 for casefans, 2 intake on the front). I don't care much about USB 3.1 and USB C. It is nice if it is on it but it is not a big deal. 2 NVMe-slots or more (preferably 3) is big bonus to me given how prices tend to drop for SSDs (buy a smaller capacity at first and a larger capacity and faster one later, it is a shame to not be able to keep using it). Selling hardware is nice in theory but difficult in reality (costs of sending it with a signature...).

  • @TechWizMaster

    i tought wendell would know what Thermal Design Power mean...95W it's not a figure of power consumption, it's a figure of heat dissipation. a 95W TDP processor will indeed consume a lot more than 95W.

    • @Level1Techs
      @Level1Techs  6 лет назад +12

      You have misunderstood the point. Intel spec have long and short duration power draw limits which exceed (sometimes far exceed) TDP. However, on a long timeline, the 95W figure is "this cpu will generate 95W of heat" it is a signal to the system designer that they must deal with the heat and dissipate it. If they do not dissipate it, the heat will accumulate. What happens when the heat accumulates? The CPU throttles back, which reduces power consumption. I promise you that CPU power consumption will fall right in line to the TDP value once the thermal (or power delivery! in the case of OEM systems) constraints have been hit. This is precisely why I said that in OEM systems like dell/hp they only design for greater-than-tdp power draw in the long- and short-duration specs to what intel recommends, which is not very long. So even if the thermal situation on your CPU is fine, the board into which it is plugged may not be able to handle more or much more than 95w sustained (where sustained here is defined as far exceeding the long duration power draw time) and so throttling will still occur. Around 120 seconds or so these days for the intel recommended long duration power limit through the socket. Of course when overclocking, and with tech like multicore enhancement, the CPU will exceed intel recommended specs, which is a decision the system designers and you, the end user, can make together.
      And usually works fine. BUT on those OEM systems you can bet that dell and hp for sure designed theirs systems with conservative values to save $ and that is why I said that an OEM 8700 is unlikely to perform as good as an 8700 in a DIY PC like this. Because it'll be constrained in power draw to match the TDP, excepting those long/short duration bursts.
      Will that 8700 draw 160 watts+ ever? No, and certainly not at 4.3ghz all core. And so the VRM solution on boards like this one are designed with a tighter power delivery envelope -- typically on the order of up to 150 watts. +/- --

    • @TechWizMaster
      @TechWizMaster 6 лет назад +1

      well maybe i did misunderstood, i would need to watch again...but it seemed the way you presented it you refered to intel's TDP figure as an actual power consumption figure...i was probably wrong though, thanks for clearing this up man!

    The Intel CPUs do not do HDMI 2.0 on a hardware level that's why you don't get 4k 60hz through HDMI. The board HDMI spec has nothing to do with it. Case in point the raven ridge motherboards officially support only HDMI 1.4 but they happily output 4k 60hz because the the APUs support HDMI 2.0 it at hardware level. So Intel is at fault with out dated specs. With Intel you get less for more.

    Intel is losing market share rapidly. Investors are jumping ship faster than ever before. They're a year behind on the 7mn manufacturing processing while AMD plans to release theirs next year. Intel Fanboys will have to wait until 2020 or later. Anyone looking to make some extra money should stock up on AMD stock. If you love Intel, I highly recommend strapping yourself in tight and taking a ton of painkillers because you're going to be in a world of hurt during the next 3 years ride.

      Dimi S Those who can do and those who can't teach on RUclips and yet here you are commenting on the same platform that no one gives a shit about lol. Perhaps people should only call their stock broker for advice or only get tech advice if you're standing in Micro Center or Best Buy. What kind of nonsense tide pod shit are you eating? You automatically assume anyone commenting on RUclips is an idiot and doesn't know about stocks 😂😂😂. You must be another overweight fat ass gamer with the brain power of a pea, no job or future 😂😂😂. Only idiots visit RUclips and none of them know anything about Finance right. 😂😂😂. You should go find one of those special Forest at all these RUclipsrs talk about and create some "hanging" art 😂😂😂. People like you are the same type of idiots that think anyone who talks online about fighting doesn't know how to fight 😂😂😂. These fools crack me up lol. Stick with playing your little kiddie shoot-'em-up games little boy. You remind me of that 30 year old man child who won't leave his parents house on the news lol.

      I think its 2666 without overclock but with overclock it can run 3200mhz and correct me if I'm not mistaken
