Intel Build [Part 3] AMD FX vs. Intel Skylake

2016-03-23
last week I put together the AMD FX system which would have seen an entire lap spilled now it's time to assemble the Intel Core i5 rig the key changes other than the processor will obviously be made to the motherboard and this time the asrock said 170 ax has been used I initially picked this board because it was one of the cheapest to support non-chaotic overclocking at ninety dollars but since that feature has been scrubbed you could save a little extra and get an h1 70 motherboard moving on the Sapphire r9 390 has been swapped for the HIAS r9 390 as it suits build better and pair of black Crucial Ballistix elite memory modules has been used unfortunately I couldn't get a blue or white set in time for the build I've used the same model close-loop liquid cooler storage drives and power supply that we use from the AMD build in this Intel build too so that any further ado let's build this beast inside our custom painted silver soon k low-five last week I put together the AMD FX system which you would have seen in a time-lapse build now it's time to assemble the Intel Core i5 rig the key changes other than the processor will obviously be made to the motherboard and this time the asrock z170a X has been used I initially picked this board because it was one of the cheapest to support non-chaotic overclocking at $90 but since that feature has been scrubbed you could save a little extra and get an h1 70 motherboard moving on the sapphire r9 390 has been swapped for the HIAS r9 390 as it suits to build better and pair of black Crucial Ballistix elite memory modules has been used unfortunately I couldn't get a blue or white set in time for the build I've used the same model close-loop liquid cooler storage drives and power supply that we use in the AMD build in this Intel build too so that any further ado let's build this beast inside I custom painted silver so in caelo 5 you you last week I put together the AMD FX system which you would have seen in time lapse build now it's time to assemble the Intel Core i5 rig the key changes other than the processor will obviously be made to the motherboard and this time the asrock z170a X has been used I initially picked this board because it was one of the cheapest to support non-chaotic overclocking at $90 but since that feature has been scrubbed you could save a little extra and get an h1 70 motherboard moving on the Sapphire r9 390 has been swapped for the HIAS r9 390 as it suits to build better and pair of black Crucial Ballistix elite memory modules has been used unfortunately I couldn't get a blue or white set in time for the build I've used the same model close-loop liquid cooler storage drives and power supply that we use from the AMD build in this intel build to so that any further ado let's build this beast inside I custom painted silver so in caelo 5 you you you last week I put together the AMD FX system which you would have seen in a time-lapse build now it's time to assemble the Intel Core i5 rig the key changes other than the processor will obviously be made to the motherboard and this time the as rocker said 170 ax has been used I initially picked this ball I really liked how the AMD build came out last week the customer paint job and the cheap $2.00 LED lights troops came up to treat create what was a truly unique gaming system without breaking the bank having said that I think the Intel build might look even better the white interior glows nicely with the LED lights the blue exterior is very unique which build did you guys prefer the look of next week I'll be providing the final part of this series where these two systems go head-to-head in a gaming benchmark battle all the parts featured in this build we listed in the description that along with our affiliate Amazon links if you'd like to support the channel and pick something up I'll also list alternative hardware options such as an air cooler and smaller capacity power supply there too for those of you they'd like to spend a little less on the entire system if you have any questions at all then please let me know in the comments or on our forum at Hardware unbox calm I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time
