There is no reason to not go Skylake. Hey, thanks for the reply. Just one question: why not the h170 chipset? They seem pretty even apart from the OC support, right? http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-100-series-chipsets,29993.html In: Hardware and Tech

Just get a version without the K, that has the most desirable speed for your needs. Wouldn't focus to much on the i5 vs i7 debate, Intel recently releases the i5 6600, a beast on its own that can match any i7 apart from perhaps the top model. Thanks for the reply. Not OCing, that's why I didn't think of Skylake when there only were the unlocked i5 6600k and i7 6700K. As you say, the i5 6600 looks great, that's why I'm thinking of Skylake instead of Haswell refresh now. Yup, I was not going for an i7 anyway, it's an overkill for what I need/want the CPU. Jump back to quoted post7 Oct 2015, 08:43 AMWaspaloy Yes, the expensive DDR4 memory. Thanks for the answer! Well, where I live, 8 gigs (2x4) of ddr3 1600 are around 50 euros, while 8 gigs (2x4) ddr4 2133 are around 60. It's not that much. So if that is the only reason, I'm definitely going with Skylake instead of Haswell refresh. Plus, ddr3/4 compatibility comes with the chipset. I could go Skylake and ddr3 if I were to buy a B150 chipset mobo. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Haswell refresh or Skylake?7 Oct 2015, 08:37 AM I'm thinking of building a new rig and I'm on the fence here. First I thought of building it with a Haswell refresh CPU (probably i5 4590 or 4690), because the only two Skylake CPUs that Intel had released where the i5 6600k and the i7 6700k, and I'm not gonna OC. But I just checked and they've released plenty of new Skylake CPUs. Question: Is there any reason why I shouldn't go with Skylake? Thanks in advance for the feedback In: Hardware and Tech

Thread: Company of Heroes 2: The Board Game24 Sep 2015, 13:15 PM Looks great! On a side note: Does anyone know if there's any kind of FoW in the game? I've been thinking for some time now how it could be implemented in board games, but it feels tricky. In: Lobby
