itt we post our cpu history amd cpu's: >fx 8350 had

why did you go through so many cpus

>>52336210
i like screwing around with hardware?

k6-2 300 mhz - hated it every day and wished i could afford a real pentium 2 450 mhz or something nice.

2.4B northwood pentium 4 - raped and pillaged all of the villages

amd 3620 llano apu - cheap quad core i never should have bought but it was a cheap HP machine and i still use it occasionally to game away from home. not with the apu obviously.

amd bobcat core apu in a laptop - absolute dog shit but would play ut99 and ut2k4 on the go which is all i cared for

amd 4500m - would actually play skyrim on medium and pretty much any game up to 2007 on med-high

i5 4440 - yet another too cheap to pass up purchase. i keep trying to justify a 4790k but i can't. i'll just spend more money on my next gpu instead.

Amd CPUs

>Amd athlon x2m
Mobile athlon dual core with radeon 4250 in a gateway Best Buy special. Played WoW at 50+ fps at 1366x768
>Fx-4100
My first ever cpu. Bought it when bulldozer first came out and at the time I was completely new to building. Saw the term "quad core" and bought it for $120 cheaper than Intel's 3570k. Had it clocked to 4.7ghz under a 212+
>Fx-6300
Replaced the 4100 because I knew all about processors at this point, but was too poor to afford a new motherboard and cpu. Clocked to 5ghz under custom water.
>Fx-9370
Full on AMD fanboy at this point. Clocked to 5.2ghz. Was only $20 more than a comparable fx8350 at the time.

Intel CPUs

>Pentium 4 housefire edition.
Ran hot, ran loud. Was in a Gateway prebuikt machine with integrated graphics. Got me 13 fps on lowest settings in a non pooulated area in WoW.
>Intel single core celeron
Was in my first ever laptop I ever bought myself Gateway laptop with the money for my first job. 1280x720, 3gb ddr2, single core celeron, 500gb hdd. $750 at best buy (shoot me)
>I5-4690k (current)
Bought to replace my 9370 after popping the VRM section on my 3rd motherboard

Why are all your cpus beasts anon

>>52336628
why are yours not?

Loads of old 386, 486, PII's, PIII's and various other old stuff that i couldn't dream of remembering. After that it was.

Early socket 478 2.4ghz Celeron processor. Was slow as hell, had 128k cache iirc? Maybe it was 256. Had it OC'd to 3ghz, paired with a TI4200 and Radeon 5200 eventually.

Had that thing forever, until i got a laptop with a T7200 which was just a beast. Paired with a 7950GTX Go and a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. Monster of a laptop

Then a couple years later bought a smaller 13.3" XPS with a T5300 in it, not a bad cpu.

After that bought a desktop with a Phenom II x3 740 oc'd to 3.8ghz IIRC, paired with a GTX560 TI

Currently using a laptop with an i7 2670QM and a GT555M. The processor is still a beast, certainly for a laptop. The graphics card is useless.

Also for my desktop, an ancient Athlon II x4 641 (FM1) oc'd from 2.8ghz to 4ghz with a Radeon 5770.

Posting this from an Athlon 64 x2 5000+ and a 6600GT.

>>52336186
pls give me money you rich fuck

Pentium I (first computer I got from my uncle's company)
Athlon Thunderbird (second computer I got from my cousin)
Pentium D 935 (first self-built computer)
Atom N450 (first laptop/netbook)
Core i7 2600K (second self-build computer)
Core i7 620LM (second laptop/thinkpad)

why is it so hard to find pentium 3's and early athlons in the used market?

any time i see used pc's for sale it's pentium 4 machines. i've already got an athlon 64 5000B but i never seem to find anything from the glory days of the 1 ghz barrier.

I'm going to list my CPU history from the point where I got to choose

>AMD Duron 999mhz

Never overclocked. I still have the computer, just recently got it back. I did some cable management today and now it won't boot to bios, beeper is giving a long-short-short noise which indicates something is royally fucked. I'll take it to bits and reassemble it.

>AMD Sempron 2600+

My first *own* computer. Never overclocked, served me faithfully for a couple of years.

>Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

My first serious CPU, first one I overclocked. Went up to 3ghz with the stock cooler (which I later realised was a decent cooler compared to the new shit cooler) and was fine. Served me faithfully until just recently.

>Intel Core i5 760

My first big mistake. I got this when my dad offered to buy me a new computer. The 1155 boards were taken off the market because of something wrong with the SATA ports (I think) so being impatient I went with the 1156 based CPU. Could've had a 2500K but nah, I just picked the one I thought fit my budget. It overclocked somewhat but I mostly ran it at 3ghz because of stability issues. I guess I hurried my decision before my dad decided to not buy me a computer, he did that sometimes.

>Intel Core i5 4690

My second mistake. I got this cheap but not that cheap. Initially it was for a temporary build until kaby lake/pascal but it later dawned upon me that I'm not going to dump money again on a computer rig. Should've just fucking coughed up $50 more for a K model, all that overclocking potential lost... Though really it's just the poor street cred, I know most people who run a 4690K don't even overclock it.

>Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300

Got this to replace the E6750 in my old computer. Just for fun, mostly. It was super cheap and takes the performance to a new level.

>>52336703

yeah i remember guys buying the p4 based celerons and cooking the shit out of them. the good p4's weren't cheap and that's back when they still sold shit in 100 or 133 mhz bumps, that's why i got the 2.4B instead of the 2.53 which was significantly more expensive.

anybody here still got a p4 running rambus??? i had ddr333 which was still a compromise.

>>52336773
I've got the same problem, even more so when you're trying to find PII or old 386, 486 stuff. There seems to be two extremes with these.

On the one hand, people think they're useless and just throw them out. On the other, people charge insane prices for it.

>>52336818
No idea what's in it, but i have a 2.5ghz P4 running in my kitchen PC, along with 1.5gb of ram and a 40gb HDD.

The board on it is an absolute piece of garbage, no dream of OCing it. Although, i did notice a jumper box, and i recall OCing with jumper boxes back in the day. Wonder if it's related. Last time i remember doing it though i think was PIII or PII days.

Pentium III
Pentium 4
Phenom II X3 720
i7-4790K

Had various others (and still do), but those have been my main systems over the years. That I can remember anyway. I had a PC (maybe even two) before the Pentium III one, but I don't remember the specs.

PIII 800MHz

Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67 GHz)

P4 3GHz (socket 478)

i7 920 (just upgraded my psu and pushed the clock, at 3.465GHz it passes memtest and looks stable, gonna run prime95 as well)

in chronological order:
Pentium 120MHz
Duron 800MHz
Duron 1.2GHz
Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz
Athlon 64 3000+
Athlon XP 2400+
Athlon XP 2500+

>Intel single core celeron

op here
i feel your pain. my first computer in the 90's had a 300mhz celeron in the thing. even after upgrading the ram to the max the motherboard could take, 256mb (99), the thing was still incredibly slow.

yeah, they were great bang for buck at their time. I did a pencil mod to the Thunderbird, the one which removes the multiplier lock, and I ran it at 1100MHz for a while.

1MB, 1280x720px

Pentium 4

Core 2 Duo E7500 upgraded to Xeon E3110

i5 3570k
Waiting to see what Zen will offer

I only recently built my first rig so:

AMD
FX8320 (first, never overclocked it, it ran really hot and really didn't perform all that well, decent for everyday stuff but I really wasn't impressed)

Intel
i5 4590 (runs a lot cooler, runs everything just fine with speed being no real concern)

And I'll probably stay with the 4590 for a while. It runs everything pretty fast. If, one day I get more disposable income and there's a hot new CPU on the market that destroys everything maybe I'll upgrade, but for now my 4590 is just fine. Really, my hardware overall is overkill for what I typically do: 16GB of ram and all that, no graphics card but I don't play games so it doesn't matter.

>Pentium 75 (1C/1T)
Just temporary a PC I used when I was 5-6 years old and wanted my own computer. Overclocked it to 120MHz via jumpers later.
>AMD Turion 64 ML-30 1.6GHz (1C/1T)
My first computer, got pretty much ripped off by a PC shop. Overclocked it to 2.4GHz and had been used by one of my dad's employees until recently.
>AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400+ 3.2GHz (2C/2T)
The first computer I picked parts for myself. It was pretty okay for 2008, didn't overclock for shit though, 3.4GHz was the maximum it achieved I think.
>AMD Athlon II x3 450 3.2GHz (3C/3T)
I was kind of disappointed that the fourth core was unstable... I overclocked it to 3.53GHz or something.
>Intel Core i7-920 2.67GHz (4C/8T)
My first big boy processor. Overclocked to 3.8GHz, it ran pretty much everything I wanted.
>Intel Core i7-4820K 3.6GHz (4C/8T)
Broke the previous CPU's motherboard, got this baby pretty much on release. Set it to 4.5GHz and pretty much forgot about it.
>Intel Core i7-4720HQ 3.6GHz (4C/8T)
It's alright, I guess. Gets pretty toasty since it's inside a laptop.
>Intel Xeon L5639 2.13GHz (6C/12T)
Realized I didn't need an i7 for CS:GO but moar cores were good for encoding, so I got this thing. Overclocked to 4GHz 24/7, works perfectly as of today. Also earned like $200 by selling my old CPU and mbo and getting these ones.

>>52336773
>mfw I have Pentium 3, Duron, and Thunderbird CPUs in storage

Current and probably will always be. Xeon x5690 x2, has served me well and will always work because server hardware is gud senpai

guy at work did electronic recycling programs.
he received dell testing parts that needed to be destroyed. i found a complete working system (windows7, 4gb ddr3 ram, i5, 320gb hdd) in the pile. i asked if i could have it. system was 2 years old at the time.
every time he did a recycling event, i was always surprised how nobody ever wiped their hard drives. even big companies. loved those events. i probably saved a few hundred dollars by taking a ton of computer hardware.

>>52337222
Same here man, best decision I ever made. I don't think there is any reasonable workload that these things won't handle with ease. Gaming and video encoding at once? No problem.

>intel 486, 300 mhz or so
This was my first computer. It got it for free when I posted on an online forum from the school library that I wanted a home computer I didn't have to share with my parents. It might be rusting in a shed somewhere. I got my hands on a copy of Windows NT 4.0 to run on it. Somehow I found a better 486 processor to upgrade with, even though it was several models out of date.

>AMD Athlon XPM, 1.1 or 1.2 ghz or so
This machine sounded like a vacuum cleaner and was built from parts collected for free or second hand over Kijiji. It was a hodgepodge of parts, even the two RAM sticks had different makers. This was an XP machine.

>AMD something on an HP pavilion laptop
The laptop was sort of shit. It was on sale for $300 or $400. It eventually died.

>PowerPC 700 mhz, ball-and-stick mac
I picked this up for fun because some guy was selling it for $50 and I needed a computer. I tracked down some old RAM and maxed it to a gigabyte. I still have it because it has an interesting design, but I'll probably get rid of it eventually. It runs Mac OSX 10.3. It's a fun computer, but it's not much good for doing work anymore. I've been thinking of putting a BSD or a mac hardware friendly linux on it.

>intel i5 2.5 ghz x2
New-ish laptop. I don't have the budget for both a desktop and a laptop, so a laptop I have with external storage. The whole laptop was $650 or something, and is Samsung. It's nice and snappy in comparison to the other machines I've used.

>>52337564
Oh, first processor was a celeron, I remember now.

>>52337951
You sure the 486 wasn't 30mhz? Don't think they went that high.

dear god man

>>52338539
Considering my whole PC is worth about $200 of ebay parts and free stuff, buying a watercooling setup doesn't seem smart.

In another couple of months i'll be building something new though. Plan on doing all ebay purchases though, not going to buy anything new. Pretty much just going to be an experiment to see how cheap i can make an adequate gaming pc.

Only AMD chip worth mentioning was an Athlon XP 2000+ I used for maybe about a month or so.

-Family PC had a Pentium 3.
-My first PC had a 1.6ghz atom back in 2009 (for a netbook - can't remember specific models)
-My second PC had a a4-3305m in 2011
-My third PC had a g3258 in late 2014
-My fourth and current PC has a 4690k which I bought in 2015


tl;dr:
Pentium 3 -> 1.6ghz atom -> a4-3305m -> g3258 -> 4690k

Walmart special, that computer lasted a good 10 years though both the PSU and hard drive died at some point. Ran Windows XP, ME, and Ubuntu.

2004 or 2005
Celeron Prescott 2.93 GHz
Also wal-mart special from HP, PSU died and CPU overheating damaged the motherboard. I always wondered why that PC had overheating problems until I looked it up and learned it was a Prescott.

AMD Athlon II x3 Rana - 3.2 GHz
My first homebuilt PC - 8 gigs of RAM and 500GB seagate. Had a Biostar motherboard and later got a Biostar to overclock it and unlock the 4th core.

Kept everything else but overclocked it a bit.

2015 - Intel Core i5 - 5200u
got this because I wanted a cheap computer with a dedicated GPU, it's fine

Retro machines:
AMD Athlon (Slot A) - 550 MHz
Solid, runs UT/Quake 3 pretty well, can play THPS3 and stuff

Intel Pentium II (Mobile) - 366 MHz
Pretty good, runs Windows XP fine and can play games that have software rendering. The ATI graphics are shit.

Intel 80286, 10 or 12MHz, don't remember. It was an IBM model 30 computer.
Cyrix 486, 100Mhz. At least was faster than a 386.
Intel Pentium III, 450 MHz.
Intel Celeron 1200, 1.2 GHz. Loved this one.
Intel Celeron D 320, 2.4 GHz. A housefire, replaced it with a...
Intel Celeron 420, 1.6 GHz. Much better.
Intel Atom N720, 1.6 GHz. On a MSI netbook that died due to broken hinges.
AMD E-350, 1.6GHz. Mini ITX board, still working as a Chinese cartoons player.
Intel Core i3-4339, 3.5 GHz. Current system.

That's just desktops. I have had a shitload of laptops over the same time, but since I couldn't really piece them together, I didn't pay much attention to which CPUs they had.

Intel's highest-clocked 486 was the DX4/100. All the licensees said that their CPUs were faster clock-for-clock than the 486, so they claimed the same performance as a 133 MHz 486, but of course those claims were dubious at best.

Mine are:

2006: Intel q6300 at 3.2ghz

2016: Intel i7 6700k at 4.2ghz(gonna try and ger baseclock up high enough to get me to 4.5)

>>52339521
Kind of, Intel's fastest clocked at 100 MHz, but AMD pushed it to 133 and beyond with the clock-quadrupled 5x86/X5 that was fifth-generation in name only.

The only company that PR rated was Cyrix, whose 5x86 actually was more efficient clock for clock than a conventional 486 since it was a cut down fifth-generation part.

Never forget things like the FX-60. That thing was a beast at the time, but was also a beast of a price.

Still remember the days when clock for clock the AMD won every time. So weird seeing Intel be the dominant these days.

At that point in time, when pushed, AMD will always come out on top.

Not long after though, Intel dominated ever since. It still feels weird to me, when looking to built my next PC seeing AMD at such a pathetic position.

lots of companies made "486" chips based on 386SX/DX designs though, Intel was never one of them

Xeon is for servers and workstations, Core for consumers. Xeons support ECC memory (and a fuckton of it), a lot of them support more than one CPU in a system. Some Core processors have an unlocked multiplier and can be overclocked, Xeons generally can't. Core processors generally go up to 4 cores with 8 being available in the new extreme edition chip, Xeons go up to 18 cores per processor (and remember, you can put up to 4 in one server). Generally, Xeons with a lot of cores run at lower clock speeds than most Core processors.

Companies are throwing out their old Xeon 5600 servers, so you can make a double quad-core build for next to nothing.

all intel except for an early athlon one time, but i got a refund for it because it was useless for gaming.

>>52346657

Some AMD K6-2 chip, don't recall clocks on a win 95 machine.
Pentium 4 single core at 2.4GHz for XP. Had that machine for YEARS.
First laptop with a Core2 Duo, I think it was a T6200? it was clocked at 2.2GHz. Fun chip.
AMD Phenom II x6 1055T at 2.8GHz. If the stock cooler wasn't so shit it'd have been a good machine.
Second laptop with an A8-4500M. Overclocked the iGPU from 540MHz to 1.15GHz which made it run GTA 4 semi-well and all source games. Before the cooler shat itself it was a good laptop.
AMD FX-6350 self-built machine. Serves me well enough but wish I got an ivy bridge i5 or something.

Sorry for super late response! First board was an asrock 990fx ext9. The power in my house went out during a storm. Power surge guard did its job but the usb ports on the board were dead or would intermittently turn off.

2nd board was the only board Microcenter had I felt could handle the 9370 even at stock. Was a gigabyte 990fx ud5. Turned off one day and never turned back on.

3rd was a 990fx sabertooth that handled the 9370 very well. It was the board thatd allowed me to dial up the 9370 to 5.2ghz at 1.57v. I got greddy one day and wanted to push for 5.5ghz. After repeated BSODs trying to get stable, I forgot to turn on LLC in my last run. Voltage spiked to 1.9v. Heard the VRMs whine and then pop. Out came the magic smoke.

Bought a 4690k and z97 shortly after.

>>52336186
Very long list, starting with Commodore 128.

Of note:

Dual P3 1000 (HP Visualize X-Class) + Ti4600 + dual voodoo2's (Unreal still ran better on Glide)

Dual P3 1400

Something AMD socket 754

A64 3500+ (I think, it was my first dual core)

Pentium D 820

Dual Nocona Xeon 2.8

First, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen i7's

Now? Well, anything from a first gen i7m ULV to a couple Xeon E7 rigs.

Not really much on AMD these days (though I'm still hopefull they'll improve) but I have a couple trays of Opteron 6028's. Not sure what I'll end up doing with those.

>>52351322
hahaha you fucked up your cpu, people who overclock are always greedy newfags

>>52352609
I didn't fuck up the CPU at all. I still have it and tested it on an RMA sabertooth I got before getting z97. It was simply the voltage required to keep the CPU stable at anything above 5.2ghz was insane. Heat was taken care of via a custom water loop.

>Greedy "newfag" because I made a mistake
Yea nah. You're a cunt. Been overclocking for years. I was greedy though. Wanted to see if 5.5ghz was possible. It is, but only on LN2. Heat wise I was stressing the limits of a 480mm and 360mm radiator working together.

I was originally going to go back to 5.2ghz on the new sabertooth, but I saw how much better at gaming even the stock i5 was with much less heat/power usage and motherboard stress, I said fuck it. Haven't looked back.

Currently at 4.4ghz @ 1.2v on air.

Built myself, arguably the 920 would have done me fine if I got a motherboard to OC it. This will probably do me for another couple of years, depends on how the 14nm GPU's turn out.

Found used at school and since it had the same socket of the pentium D, it got in there.
>Core 2 Quad Q9550
Had to buy a new MOBO since I forgot to check the FSB, and It went right in the old mobo of the pentium D. The mobo was running at 1033MHz at max and the cpu was too fast.
It's my actual CPU and I love it.
It has 12 fucking MB of cache L2 it was love at first sight.
Bought 5 years ago for 157€, used.
Never had a fucking flaw.

It seems like the p4 was a huge failure because of the heat.

>>52354068
And the fact it was SLOWER then the Pentium 3's at launch, despite having a higher clockspeed

>INB4 Rambus lel's

>>52354068
p4 was a huge failure because amd performance was so much higher.

p4 was a huge success because despite amd chips being better intel still scored huge contracts and cut amd out of the picture for a lot of vendors (looking at you dell) which later proved to be antitrust i think

>>52354275
> intel still scored huge contracts and cut amd out of the picture for a lot of vendors (looking at you dell) which later proved to be antitrust i think
Intel had to pay AMD a huge settlement, even though the cost to AMD ended up being more than the settlement.
In addition Intel also doctored benchmarks so that P4 chips would use unfairly advantaged RAM to give an advantage, write the compiled code to cover up certain shortcomings, and downclock their Pentium 3's to make the P4 comparatively faster. Intel lost a class action lawsuit as a result.

>>52354356
>>52354275
fucking intel

>>52354356
Is the P4's shittiness where Intel's compiler's cripple AMD function came from?

>>52354356
>Intel had to pay AMD a pittance

FTFY. The settlement was fucking NOTHING compared to how much intel gained from the deals.

I don't remember what I used to have as a kid, but from cpus that I bought

e3300 - Worked fine I guess, no complaints. Hell, I fucking played wow on it for 2 years with some motherboard intergrated gpu.

e8400 - My biggest regret is selling it, would love to still have it, absolute beast.

i5 2500k - I don't think I'll upgrade it anytime soon, there's nothing I use that even fazes this thing, 5 years and still rocking solid.

>>52354356
And even then AMD overtook Intel to have have the majority of CPU market share back in the P4-C2D days.

If Intel hadn't done the shady shit they did, they'd probably would have turned out how AMD is now, or worse.

Until 2012 which I got the biggest piece of shit ever.
A-10 6800k.doomed to have got it.Still have it.It's not completely useless but it struggles a lot.
Oc'd at around 4.5ghz.

cutting edge enthusiasts,
selling their current systems for about the same price as new and getting new hardware for a slight performance boost.
possibly they work on their computers and legitimately can use the increased power.

>>52352545
>>52340648

you are basically guaranteed a 4.4ghz oc with their current 8 core, luck of the draw will get you anywhere from 4.5 to 4.8 in normal off the shelf cooling solutions.

pentium 2 333mhz
this got used just until doom 3 came out

pentium 4 3.0 or 3.2 prescott
this was an alienware, and because of how a flat 500$ off coupon and 20% off stacked together, we got the computer for cheaper than you could build it from parts.

phenom II 955 black (no oc)
after the p4 systems motherboard gave up the ghost, and not having the ability at the time to diagnose what part failed, we took it to a shop, they offered me a core 2 duo or a phenom 955, to me the choice was obvious as i was looking into computer builds for a while at this point.

currently waiting on zen to do a full computer build, if zen is good and has a price to match, im getting it, if its not, i can't wait anymore so its intel i7.
