January 4, 20179 yr Hi, Seems like 2017 is the time to upgrade my older 4770K@4,7 to i7-7700K. Out of the box it looks like a 30% boost with a "5 GHZ" relative easy to clock given another 6%. So if we expect todays FPS at 30FPS it should provide about 40-41fps Not bad at all Maybe also 2-5fps extra with DDR4@3200MHZ RAM vs DDR3@2400MHZ So 30FPS is almost 50fps (hopefully :wink: ) http://hwbench.com/cpus/intel-core-i7-7700k-vs-intel-core-i7-4770k Michael Moe Michael Moe
January 4, 20179 yr I read on several sites that the 7700K indeed can be oc to 5GHz on air cooling If your 4770K is running at 4.7, that will be an increase of 7%, not 30% :( The faster ram should indeed give a few fps on top AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof

My mistake Seems like it is more about 21% (15% at 4700MHZ+6 at 5000MHZ) + DDR4 % (more like a 25-30% increase overall) Michael Moe Michael Moe
January 4, 20179 yr I'll have to see if there will be 7th gen for 2011 v3, I personally think it is the best work horse for FSX or P3D Konstantin Kharlamov Supporter of: PMDG, FlyTampa, FsDreamTeam, FlightBeam, FSFX.
January 4, 20179 yr Im not sure about change my i5-4670k. We´ll see AMD Ryzen and the number of cores used by the new 2017 sims.
January 4, 20179 yr Commercial Member I read on several sites that the 7700K indeed can be oc to 5GHz on air cooling If your 4770K is running at 4.7, that will be an increase of 7%, not 30% :( The faster ram should indeed give a few fps on top 5.0 GHz on air? On all threads and stable? Call me skeptical but I'd have to see that (from multiple different consumers) to believe it.

January 4, 20179 yr 5.0 GHz on air? On all threads and stable? Call me skeptical but I'd have to see that (from multiple different consumers) to believe it. Could be running at 85C on air. That's hot thought. My clock ran 85C on air on my 3820 but I got liquid cooling and with FSX running I generally get about 45-55C Konstantin Kharlamov Supporter of: PMDG, FlyTampa, FsDreamTeam, FlightBeam, FSFX.
January 5, 20179 yr I also hope this, actualy i´m using a 6850K at 4,4 Ghz and 3200 Mhz DDR4 with a GTX1080 and a 500 GB M2 ssd. never hat so good Performance. The first time in my flightsim live that i dont think about upgrading something to have more Performance. And i´m flight siming since 15 years. C.

January 5, 20179 yr From what I've read, if you delid the 7700k, add a dab of liquid metal, temps can be lowered by 30C, and OC's on water can get over 5.2 stable, and that's out of the gate, just getting started. Since the current P3D is thread manager limited on Core 1, The only thing that's gonna help Scotty's "moar power!" orders is GigahUrtz, and this CPU is very promising in that way. I am considering it.

January 6, 20179 yr Look at the Videos I posted in the other thread. Also, Asus have confirmed that 5 GHz is indeed achievable with "reasonable" cooling for a chip that's "reasonably" placed in the silicone lottery. The OC3D Videos I posted by Tom Logan are worth a watch. He achieved 5.1 GHz stable with an AIO with his chips. Not sure about his fish, or kebabs. Still, Asus' reputation for rock-solid reliability and overclocking performance continues with the Code. It is a high-end motherboard with a high-end price to match, but it (along with several other Asus boards) has a neat party trick: it can push the i7-7700K to 5GHz with a reasonable (read: no extravagant water cooling required) setup. There are a few caveats to that performance—the biggest being that Asus also supplied the i7-7700K for this review, which was likely binned from a large batch—but the company claims that most decent unlocked Core i7 and Core i5 Kaby Lake chips will hit 5GHz between a reasonable 1.29-1.35 volts.
January 6, 20179 yr The CPU market is depressingly stagnant these days I can think of only one reason to buy a new desktop PC at the moment, and that is a total failure of my existing one.
