idk about that cas 11
your supported memory is 1866 and on a 22nm core that honestly really doesnt need a oc for whatever is thrown at it as shown by its price tag
in my opinion if u ran at that speed with as low of cas u can get u would be much happier with performance atleast 9

ewok93 · Mar 17, 2014

That RAM is fine, you're not going to notice any difference at all between cas 11 and 8. You're not going to get the maximum speed of the RAM, but that doesn't matter. 2400 will give you the same performance as 1333 in any situation aside from using an APU. I would not suggest a Corsair CX PSU, get one of their different series. Also, you should look into an aftermarket cooler, something like a Hyper 212 Evo will work nicely.

matt798 · Mar 17, 2014

maybe on the ewok planet cas vs frequency doesnt matter

if u dont care at all about single threaded benchmarks that currently are most aps to date u will allready a bit lower single threaded bench over a 22 nm 4core in the same level.
but hell if u want high clock rates and badass performance amd fx9590 on asus cross-hair. disable turbo set vcore to turbo voltage and render away at 5ghz with 8 cores no stability test needed
amd toshiba and the hsa foundation is paving the way for multicore support so its 8 cores will be very useful for many years to come

ewok93 · Mar 17, 2014

Ooookay, cas and frequency do almost nothing, as most people on this site will be happy to explain to you. Also, the 4930k destroys the 9590, which is a very poorly designed chip. It runs way too hot and isn't much more than an overclocked 83x0.

vmN · Mar 17, 2014

Well frequency and CAS are rather useless for the general consumer.

Higher frequency can benefit APUs and applications like rendering. Where you generally wanna pull large size memory out so the CPU can process more.
Lower latency can benefit gaming, gaming generally run better on lower latency than higher frequency. But as shown memory have little to no impact on the general gaming. The recommended would still be 1600/1866MHz with a CAS latency on 9.

The 9590 should be out of the question. The entire 9xxx was a bad marketing scheme by AMD. It should have been fx 8370 and fx 8390 because that is what you do with higher binned products, you dont make an entire serie(shame on you AMD).

The fx 4930k will outperform any consumer AMD products currently on the market, but AMD aren't competing at that level, so that IS an unfair comparison.

AMD isn't going the same way as the used to, they aren't making any "high-end" CPUs, they are running with APUs. AMD is trying to aim at a lower market, because why keep fighting a fight you will end up losing?

AMD is amazing at making low-end product with reasonable specs.

ewok93 · Mar 17, 2014

Frequency has just as small of an effect on rendering as it does gaming. A higher frequency is best for a server build or APU. The difference between 1333mhz CAS 11 and 1866 CAS 9 is less than 1 FPS. Definitely go for the 4930k, it's great for rendering, and really just get whatever RAM is best for your money. You will not notice a difference.

matt798 · Mar 17, 2014

i tried running my ram 1333mhz cas 11 since its its 9-1866 and it doesnt matter 0.0 my favorite games took a min to load compared to 10 seconds and my web pages loaded like 1989 on dial up
if u whereto ask a amd tech or intel alike to pair u ram for that core it would be 1866 with a low cas for optimal performance

the future is now and 8 cpu threads vs 8 gpu threads is directx11 and mantle optimal performance for games and 3D redering. making its 6 cores much less appealing in a years time.

if u like intel a hyper threaded quad core can give u 8 threads ensuring future viability

ewok93 · Mar 17, 2014

Well, do you have an APU? Also, games loading 6 times longer is a bit extreme, sounds like you screwed something up. Of course 1866 CAS 9 is ideal, but it really doesn't matter much.

matt798 · Mar 17, 2014

i didnt really man i just dont want anyone in the wrong direction about it. ty for out and saying it.
anything over 1866 is just worthless without oc the cpu's mem bandwidth as it is optimized for that speed

logainofhades · Mar 17, 2014

Change the ram to 1600 or 1866 and get an Evga super nova 750w power supply. What really is your budget here, and does it all have to come from Amazon?

brady1337 · Mar 19, 2014

I live in Dominican Republic i can get from amazon, ebay etc but cant get from newegg because they dont allow courries.

My budget is around 1300 to 1600

What do u thinks about this one instead of the Kingston HyperX

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800)
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B006EWUO22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395205721&sr=8-1&keywords=16gb+ram

And this power supply instead of the Corsair CX750 Builder Series

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B 80PLUS
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-NEX750B-Certified-120-PB-0750-KR/dp/B009YC3DBS/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395205764&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Evga+super+nova+750w+power+supply

Is Intel Xeon a better option than i7 or just more expensive?

If u can tell me of some webpage that delivers to my country and sells to a lower price ill really appreciate it.

I don't think you can fit a 4930k and a 780 in a 1300-1600 build

I recommend looking it the Xeon e3-1230v3 and a Z87 motherboard *IF* you ever want to consider SLI, or a H87 motherboard if you don't. The H87 supports crossfire though.

The FX 8320 (what i have) actually does really well in the 3d modeling and rendering department. Heres a recent passmark 8.0 benchmark i ran against the popular i5 4670k and i7 4770k (all at stock, including my rig). Its integer math is far beyond the i7 and its better in physics based math as well. The i7 would be better for a lot of video edits though, because of SSE. Yes the i7 has MUCH better single threaded performance, but a lot of the 3d modeling applications out there utilize the GPU alongside the CPU + as many cores as you have, to give you a great experience anyways.

OVERALL SCORE
Xeon x3660-------3830
i5 4440K---------------------- 6590
i5 4670K-------------------------------- 7528
i7 4770K------------------------------------------------------10,241
Phenom II X6 1090T------------- 5422
FX 4100------------- 5401

My FX 8320 ---------------------------------------------9415

http://imageshack.com/a/img855/5489/z3es.jpg

suprising results, i know. This was done with Passmark 8.0 full version and all baselines were chosen to match my computer as closely as possible (mind the CPU of course).

FX-8320 running at stock, with Cool n Quiet and C states enabled. Max load temp 40C Prime95 .

and imagine how much extra money you will have to sink into other parts

Or if you were one of those people who just MUST overclock then

Of course for $1600 you could squeeze in a GTX780ti

Beezy · Mar 19, 2014

but then again, if you can afford a xeon you should, it benchmarks 10-15% better overall, and is rated to run a long time for big renders and at less power draw too.
