Good Morning All,
I have a dilemma, I have recently done away with my sr-2 board due to epic power usage which is pricey in Australia.
I currently run a 6700k on a gigabyte z170x gaming g1 board, I wish to run 2 games servers (7 days to die and ark survival evolved). I have the option of running a 7700k delidded as my new main rig still in the z170 board and purchase a cheapish z270 to run my 6700k in for the game servers.
Or I have the option to get a ryzen 1700 for a little under $400AUD (7700k is $475AUD). I am not sure if I will run more servers down the track but my main issue is that the single thread performance on the 1700 doesn't really stand up well compared to skylake.
I was wondering what opinions you guys may have on this situation of mine.
I can delid with LCU and using kryonaut on top of the IHS for both skylake chips if that matters.
Thanks.
