You’re lucky Luigi. Home finance minister doesn’t get me allowance to buy a machine.

I know how you feel... I felt that way during the last 6 years... :sad:

First step: buy pants. Second step: wear them. Third step: buy any computer you want. :missingteeth:

Yes, macho man...revolution....later on I’m gonna tell her who wears the pants...confidence increasing....

(Better be quite otherwise I’ll be kicked out of bed).

Cool system Luigi!
But you might need 2 more DIMMs to reach full potential :)

No might about it. With 8 cores you will be severely RAM restricted with 2 channel memory. Kudos on the HyperX memory. I have one of the other models, rated at 2666 mhz, running at 3200, with relaxed timings. I am still wistful about not getting a 4 channel board and the then-currently affordable 6 core, i7 5820K.

If there is any way you can manage it, get two more DIMMs.

To be honest, I HAVE 2 more DIMMs. In fact, I asked the tech-man to install 2 packs of 2x8 DIMMs, and he did: the invoice shows 2 x (2x8) but in my happiness I didn't transcribe the 2x factor. :redface:

I explicitly asked for quad-channel RAM.

Cool! I'm happy it was just a transcription error!
Enjoy your tasty quad-channel goodness!

Back in La Palma again.

[QUOTE=kladner;498764]Got my GTX 1060 boxed and on a brown truck back to Gigabyte. :smile:[/QUOTE]
I got it back, unexpectedly, yesterday evening.
It seems they fixed the fan issue. They also declared the warranty void due to physical damage. They claim that the damage is from operation in a corrosive atmosphere. It has only been operated in a tobacco-free environment, in a domestic setting. The only thing I can see is that the copper heat pipe on top is tarnished from handling. I got Customer Service on the line today, But "(They) only know what the engineer wrote." They were supposed to get me a call-back from the technical department, but it did not happen today. In any case, it is running fine.

Not only that, but when I installed the GTX460 in the secondary slot, it went back to turning in 213 GHz-D/D on LLDC, while running at 851 MHz. The chip was originally rated at something like 675 MHz. The Gigabyte factory OC is 715 MHz. For some reason, Afterburner does not give a voltage adjustment option. Consequently, it is doing this at whatever "stock voltage" is: less than a volt, in any case. This card was always a little OC monster, but I have given up trying to explain the situation. It does crank out the results. It is 35% as fast as a GTX 1060 running two workers at 1911 MHz. The 1060 can go faster, but I haven't got all the two-card airflow restored, so it is throttled close to stock
