Looks awesome... I just built almost the same systems minus the graphics card and a msi gaming 7 motherboard. You will be very happy with the results. There really isnt a need to overclock these processors they are fast at 4.4. Congrats, Very nice system

Hmmm thats sounds not right. I havent tried it both ways, but i have the ivao mtl loader in and mine loads in about 10 seconds.

I am really loving the motherboard it has some great options. I bought everything from newegg. Ram really doesnt matter that much in fsx, I bought the ram that is in my post and i will leave you a link for, But it played great with everything. I tried to get some thing that i could expand later and had a good cl rating. (the lower the better) (EDIT) I see that i didnt list it... Sorry :huh: Link to ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231689 Any other question i will be more then glad to help.

I dont know it you turned Hyper threading off, but i just changed mine to 84 and it made a huge difference. I do have hyperthreading enabled (video encoding). Just a FYI

Yea that is what i am trying to figure out with the msi overclocking software.. It did a small overclock to 4.4, but that is the turbo speed. All i did was set the multiplier to 46 then 47 and left it and ran intel burn and prime and all seems good. I have not messed with any voltages seeing i am new to overclocking. I have been doing some live streaming and i noticed that there is no frame rate hit with obs. (great news) ;-) I am glad to hear your success with the 4790k, I am seeing about the same results as you. I think the only thing that is holding me back is the graphics card at this point, I am only running a msi gtx 660ti overclocked. As soon as i can convince the wife for the gtx 780 i will be done for now :ph34r: . That's is going to take a little while to do. By the way what affinity mask are you using if you don't mind me asking.

Hey, I just built a new system 2 weeks ago with the I7 4790k... the performance coming from amd is out of this world. I built mine minus the graphics card for a little under a $1000.00 from newegg. I have overclocked mine to 4.7 and the temps are great. Here are the specs that i got as a FYI. Corsair 500r case (white) $119.99 Corsair H100I - $99.00 MSI Gaming 7 Z97 LGA1150 $174.99 I7 4790k 4.4 $339.00 got as a bundle and saved 40.00 Cosair HX750W power supply $129.00 Kingston Hyper X 3 250gs ssd $149.00 With all the rebates I saved about $130.00 so it helped alot. I did reuse the Graphics card and some other parts. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Never the less it was a great stream and awesome time... thank you froogle for sharing the live stream. It was a pleasure to watch.

I am no expert on a 777, but there was a bounce at the end and i dont know if that maybe triggered a go around or if it was a accidental button hit somewhere. I did in fact watch the whole live stream and let me tell you that bird is amazing! This is my first post on avsim so please be easy on me. cheers
