August 21, 20169 yr Hi guys (and girls), please take a moment and tell me which CPU should I get for my FSX:SE..something in upper price segment, tho not the highest..and lets make it an Intel. Thank you!
August 21, 20169 yr Administrators In addition to a new, fast CPU, you may need to upgrade your motherboard, power supply and cooling system. Just something else to think about.

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
August 21, 20169 yr Charlie is right. If you don't provide a supporting cast the show won't be much improvement. Pay particular attention to motherboard and power supply.
August 21, 20169 yr Hi, Get yourself a 6700, water cool and over clock it.

August 22, 20169 yr Is an i7 6700k to much cpu for my ASUS P8Z77-V LX Z77 CROSSFIRE SATA 3.0 USB 3.0 ?
August 22, 20169 yr Your motherboard has the wrong socket for the 6700k. Wont work Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

August 22, 20169 yr Bummer...I'll have to vcheck and see what the best cpu I can get then thanks For a 6700 you will need a Z170 board. I would personally look for a relatively cheap one from one of the major manufacturers such as ASUS, EVGA, MSI, and Gigabyte and make sure it allows overclocking. The price of DDR4 has come down significantly so get yourself a 16gb kit on some dual channel stuff (2 sticks or 4 are both fine). Those are the 3 components you will need. Let me guess.... you want 64bit. Josh Daniels-Johannson
August 22, 20169 yr 6700k with an Asus z170 Pro Gaming or ROG maximus viii hero will allow for some fun and easy over clocking. 4.6 is easy with that combo, possibly higher with a bit more voltage. Don't skimp on the PSU, EVGA Supernova is a great and reliable box. <p>Dassault Falcon, Lear, Embraer and Challenger and Cessna Mechanic.Broadcasting live from former Soviet Missile Silo.Rhys Legge
August 22, 20169 yr I have the 6700 with the z170 Gaming pro and overclocking (professionally) and its FSX heaven. It is so much more fun now.
August 31, 20169 yr Hi... Has anyone considered a LGA 2011v3 platform? I'm trying to decide between: 1. ASUS X99-Deluxe II m'board + an i7 6850K + 32GB DDR4 memory 2. Asus Maximus VIII Formula LGGA 1151 + i7 6700K (4.0GHz) + 32GB DDR4 memory These would match up with a custom water cooling kit (240mm radiator) and a Galax HOF GTX970 graphics card. Disks are NVMe PCIe drive + SSD This is going to be my last system upgrade as I'm retiring and going onto as pension... Thoughts would be appreciated...

September 1, 20169 yr 1. ASUS X99-Deluxe II m'board + an i7 6850K + 32GB DDR4 memory 2. Asus Maximus VIII Formula LGGA 1151 + i7 6700K (4.0GHz) + 32GB DDR4 memory The 6850 with 32Gb RAM is great choice if you also intend to do a lot of video editing, rendering or such like. If not, then the 6700k with 16Gb RAM is more than enough and would save you quite a bit of money. The 6700k has a higher base clock speed and seems to overclock slightly better but, at a similar clock speed, you're unlikely to notice much difference between the two. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
