Why don't you buy a decade old QuadCore?

Still using one in my multimedia computer

>>57600961
>15 dollars


Isn't that a tad bit expensvi? I bought a whole dell pc for 30 dollars. 2 gb ram . 80 gb hdd

>>57600961
I'm still waiting for 1155 i5 and i7 to drop prices, but they are still ridiculously expensive.

Maybe I should sell this shit and get a decent 775 mobo with a C2Q

I just threw my Q6600 in the trash a few weeks ago

>>57601007
It was a Pentium 4 I bet, faggot.

>>57600961

Kids in africa could've eaten that Q6600.

>>57601032
I hardly see any 2nd gen on Amazon or ebay for less than 80, add to that 30 dollars to import it, I'm paying over 100 for a 4 year old CPU.

Compared to the 15 dollars of the Q6600, its too expensive. I don't need it that much I guess is not that I can't afford it, but I don't feel like throwing +100 bucks to upgrade my Sandy-Bridge Celeron when I'm only watching TV Shows or playing old games must of the time.

Already ebayed my mobo and ram, why would I want a spare cpu in my drawer

>>57601091

Sometimes it's okay to take a step back in design for better performance. Swapping that for a Quad is one of those times.

Yup, tossed the motherboard, 8GB of DDR2 RAM, a GTX 9800 512MB, and a Q6600 with a 500w PSU from the same era, all still working, in the trash.

>>57601115

>>57601124
>>57601130
upgraded to a 5820k and 32GB DDR4.

Already have a low end 22nm pentium for my home server

>>57601140
You could get $40 for just the RAM. Better a little money than no money at all, right?

>>57601146
Why not make the Quad your home server? It'd be far better than any Pentium-class chip will ever hope to be.

>>57601105
Yeah, perhaps mobo+cpu would cost the same than buying a 3470 though, assuming I get a cheap DDR3 mobo of course to use my current memories

And obviously the 3470 (or even a 2400) wipes the floor with any C2Q

>>57600961
My E8400 is doing just fine thanks.

>>57601175
Fair enough.

>>57601168
actually it wouldnt, the single core performance is worse, and the power use, especially idle power draw, is significantly higher on the LGA 775 platform.

Sure, it would give me 2 more threads, but my average workload on my home server is very minimal, my desktop does all my encoding.

>>57601115
You need a smack in the head

>>57601115
And I almost felt bad for throwing away a Pentium 150 and a Pentium III 500 (though the P3 was a custom Compaq with the PSU fucked up), around 2011

It was just impossible to sell at a decent price and had to make space

But a C2Q.. what an asshole, hopefully someone found in the trash though, I know SO many stories of people happy finding perfectly working computers better than mine, I was so jelly

>>57601303
I still have my first PC, a 486 from over 20 years ago. But I did give away my next PCs and throw away some older PCs from neighbors to make some space.

>>57601369
That was really only practical when Quads were still expensive. Nowadays just get a Quad instead of risking ruining the motherboard to save $5 on the CPU.

>>57600961
I have one of these laying around.

Currently using a i7 920 machine and it's also doing great too, will probably last another 5 years.

>>57602477
It doesn't the FX8350 is better unless you clock the q9xxx up to ~4Ghz+ and even then you can just as easily OC the FX8350.
And having 8 threads vs 4 threads the AMD wins hands down in anything that's well threaded for 8 cores.

>>57602534
FX8350 still has worse single threaded perf.

>>57600961
Why not buy a Xeon thats like 7 bucks and some 775 to 771 mod stickers?

>>57602490
my i7 920 still running like a champ. the other day i bought one of these in case it ever does go http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-W3520-2-66-GHZ-SLBEW-USED-EB254-/222274088126?hash=item33c0916cbe:g:QgUAAOSwZJBX97Fx

unfortunately the consumer 1366 motherboards are still expensive. otherwise, < $5.00 for a chip like that would be impossibly good

>>57602563
No, it doesn't. Not unless you leave the AMD at stock and clock the Q9XXX up way past 4GHz. (Good luck having a 775 motherboard manage that long term today)

>>57602626
Can confirm. I know it had value but I just didn't care to put in the time and effort required to flip it. I'm either trying to find someone looking for a 7 year old desktop for cheap, or I'm breaking it up and selling the parts individually on ebay over the next month or two. Neither of which I cared to do.

You can get faster Xeon chips for cheap. Downside is only some motherboards support them, you also need to modify the socket and add a sticker to swap two pads around

>>57602490
My OCed i7 920 is still chugging along. But some of the newer CPUs are more than 100% faster.

Keeping the same MB you could get up to a i7 990X, but they still sell for over $400 today.

That's not much of a deal when this Jan you can get a i7-7700K for about $360 that would blow the 990X out of the water. Although then it's new MB, RAM time.

Or are they trolling or I don't know

Because power consumption. The Q6600 has a TDP of 110W even though it's shit performance. No use that it's $15 when it costs over $70 to run for per year at 12 hours on per day. And it's gonna be loud as shit too. If you want a cheap but usable PC for a media station or whatever just get a NUC or something

>>57601189

Why are you surprised? Core 2 generation are common and most people will just throw them away rather than haggle with cheapskates on Craigslist. Sure, you could probably make a little cash breaking it all down and selling it piece by piece but nobody got time for that. I'd rather just give it away than fuck around trying to sell it. It's only a shame that we don't have better electronics recycling rather than it all going to landfill.

Instead of modifying the socket you can modify the chip, so cutting two notches in the side of the cpu to match with the orientation tabs on the socket instead of cutting them off.

I have been running pic related for years now, it's been surprisingly reliable considering it was built from the electronics scrap pile.

>>57602850
You could always put a xeon x5660 or similar and oc it, its what I did with my 1366 board.

Go I got my new i7 6700k with a 1070 GTX.

My old Core 2 Duo E6700 with a dead 460 GTX is just lying around. Now one of the problem is it only has 1x4 GB of DDR2 800 Mhz ram.

I thought I could upgrade it so when friends come over we could play multiplayer games together in sort of a mini lan config. I'd say we'd play shit like EU4, Stellaris, HoI 4 etc...

Anyone know how these games run on x5450/e5450 >>57606017

Also I obviously need a new GPU for this system but I have no idea what to get.

AMDs RX 460 and 1050 Ti seem very tempting. But they also seem incredibly overkill. Theres going to be an obvious bottleneck.

My question is how much. Is it worth maybe getting a used 750 Ti or something over these two. Does the RX 460 suffer from typical AMD CPU overhead so it's actually going to preform worse because it's bottlenecked?

I guess overwatch, Dota 2 and CS:GO all that free shit is going to be fine with a 750 Ti but I'm not so sure for shit like BF4 and maybe even BF1 or unoptimized shit like H1Z1 King of Hill.

>>57606404
A 1050 ti will be fine, hell even a 1060 will be better. You can check out yt videos of people using c2qs with the newer cards and be fine with it.

>>57601185
Mine wasn't. Upgraded to a Xeon W3530.

>>57606626

I checked out a few and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9Wu-4tIvK4

People in the comments can't agree if it's worth to go beyond a 750 ti... And it does cost 119$ for the 750Ti in my country vs 180$ so it's 60$ more...

>>57601086

semi related I guess:

I currently use a I5 3570 and start to notice its limits in some games and tasks. Should I get another top end ivy bridge cpu or spend a little more and actually get a new motherbard and skylake i7? not doing a lot of stuff other than play games most of the time.

Shoulda donated it

>>57609524
This. Some people just aren't grateful that they have a quad-core CPU to spare. Think of all the people still struggling to use Prescott P4's.

>>57609524
It went in the trash, not an incinerator. My county does a very good job of recycling e-waste. So it either got recycled, or was picked up by someone before the trash trucks came to grab it, or one of the trash guys grabbed it.

In any case, it wasn't worth the $40-80 I could have gotten by trying to sell it, and I can't be fucked to drive it somewhere to donate it.

>>57609604
And that 5820k, aside from gaming, would offer how much of a noticeable performance increase over your Quad?

>>57609615
Well for encoding, the main reason I got the upgrade, it's a huge increase, reduced my encoding time by over 200%.

>aside from gaming
I had a GTX 9800 before and I upgraded to a GTX 960 because I just wanted something modern with low power draw to play CSGO and have decent hardware encode/decode abilities.

This isn't a gaming computer.

For a poverty box or second hand box to be given away, I can see the sense of buying old hardware.

But for someone looking to make their own primary PC, why the fuck you even consider tech as old as C2Q, C2D, etc? Why not just save and get something worth while?

>inB4 just overclock the stuff to 4.0+ghz! Then it matches a stock clocked 2nd gen i5!!

All while putting insane stress on the garbage tier motherboards. Unless you're willing to spend stupid money on new old stock LGA775 board.

>>57609710
a 2nd/3rd gen i5/i7 or shit. Even an i3 is a completely different story. Those can still compete. For encoding/compiling purposes even a 1st gen will do. The old C2Q's just seem like a waste.

My buddy's i7-990X is still doing him just fine.

>>57609741
Microcode has to be signed by intel, unsigned would cause it to not boot.

Yeah and there is a reason the government still considers AES-256 secure for top secret communications?

AES-128 and 196 are no longer considered secure, but 256 still is.

>the government still considers AES-256 secure for top secret communications?
That's what we're told and supposed to believe, yes. Have we ever seen proof of them using it though? I don't think so.

The only proof of government crypto use we've ever seen are military crypto boxes (which for over 50 years haven't had ever a public specification release, despite them changing almost every decade)

If the government had a choice between a mil-spec encryption unknown to the public, and an open-source algo voted in by a public institution, I think I could guess what they'd choose.

And seeing how military tech is usually 10-20 years ahead of civilian tech, I wouldn't be surprised if they already had working post-quantum protocols, now why would they ever use AES if they had that?

You have to check the exact model number to know what you geg. Generally it's cheap i3, medium i5 and overprised i7 for each generation but it doesn't tell you what generation. To add to the confusion a notebook i7 isn't the same as a desktop i7. There's no way of knowing what you get without looking it up.

All Core CPUs after Nehalem have the generation number in their model name, it's the first number. For example, Core i3-2100 is second gen, Core i7-4790k is 4th gen and so on.

>>57613467
Q6600 is ridiculously underpowered for games, you won't get 30fps in recent ones even with an overpowered gpu

>>57614189
He's talking about an i5 750. Owning that CPU myself I can assure you it's more than competent enough even today. Sandy Bridge was better for it's time and overtook those as soon as it appeared, but they're nevertheless good CPU's.

Got a Dell Vostro 410 with Q6600 that's about 9 years old. Can I still use it to stream movies and tv and browse YouTube? If not do I need to get a new gpu or motherboard Or should I junk it?

>>57614478
why not try it and find out yourself?
worthless spoonfed shitposting faggot.
i use a shitty dual core which is worse than core2duo and it does what you ask fine just fine.

I got about 30€ for my E8400 + unused stock cooler + some MSI board + 2 GiB of RAM

>>57614502
Well, its running windows xp and slow as hell, also it seems that all the data is encrypted and i need to go to this weird tor website to pay for a key so I don't know how to save that data, if it can be saved. Yeah I guess I'm spoonfed, but im trying to learn so fuck me right.

>>57601009
Get the right mobo and slap an x5460 in it with a 771 to 775 mod and you have some sick performance for a 20 dollar cpu.

>>57609485
Who knows, I just want to be safe, and hey, it's only 5 bucks

Some people don't like wasting time on old mostly worthless hardware. I know it had SOME value, but nowhere near enough to warrant investing any of my time into it.

I make more money doing my job, I can just buy another computer instead of wasting my time spending hours trying to sell a shitty 7+ year old desktop, or even more hours trying to break it apart and sell the components individually.

>>57602390
I live in Europe and I always throw recycleable shit in the trash to annoy you green environmentalist faggot niggers

go drive around your bicylcle it might clear your head

Is it worth to spend 60$ on xeon5460+mobo? For a main pc.

>>57615334
Idk about main PC, but as a VM host it would be pretty fine for those bucks

>>57615354
Well, considering I cant spend much more than that do you know other alternatives around that price?

>>57615394
Yeah save up more money. Unless you NEED a computer this second, it's just not worth spending that kind of money on that garbage in 2016.

>tfw inherited a laptop with an i7-980X
>GPU is a 480m though..

Admittedly the single-thread performance in on par with an AMD FX-4330, it's still the most powerful CPU I've ever used. Multi-thread its around an AMD FX-8350 or a mobile i7-4770HQ.

I just wish LGA1366 desktop boards weren't so expensive. With a proper GPU it could still be a good CPU. That 480m is hampering it.

>>57615404
The problem is that it will take me way too long to save money and even if I do, I might still need them for something more important. I'm with a amd 3800+ cpu right now and just want to have a better experience as I'm mostly going to be using it for browsing and music production.

>>57615418
its your money kid, that's not really a great upgrade at all though for 2016.

You could literally find a better computer by dumpster diving for a week or two.

>>57615411
isn't the 480m onpar with 460?
check if it has a pci e x16 slot, might be able to use an external gpu with it for gaymen.

>>57615433
>You could literally find a better computer by dumpster diving for a week or two.
I live in a eastern europe shithole though.

>>57615444
kek, then you're just fucked by simple virtue of geographic location.

Enjoy the shithole.

>>57615453
So, should I buy it then?

>>57615465
I personally wouldnt because i've thrown away worse computers than that already, but if you have shit, might as well upgrade to slightly better shit.

You're still gonna be dealing with shit though.

>>57615473
Will I see noticable difference, otherwise I won't but I have seen a lot of videos how people prise this cpu

>>57615439
Not quite. The laptop mobo is a clevo. I doubt it has a x16 slot in there but I'll check for pics online

>>57615394
I mean you COULD do it, but it's not gonna be amazing or anything, probably better to got for the dual socket option at 100 trump money instead, just lurk ebay until you find a good deal.
I got a 771 skulltrail mobo with 2 quad core xeons, can't remember the exact ones since it's been just sitting in my closet for a while but I think they where in the 53xx series, at 75 trumps.

>>57615500
Sure, it will be an upgrade. Just nothing significant.

>>57612057
>$100 is an hour's work
Kek, where? That amounts to about 200k yearly.

>>57615623
I'm not him, but I am the original poster who tossed the Q6600 rig. $100 is about 2 hours and 15 minutes of work after taxes for me.

>>57615642
you are not paid hourly tho ...

>>57615667
So what? I'm salary and I generally work 30-40 hours a week and I get paid the same regardless. I just gave you a rough estimate of how long it takes me on average to earn $100.

>>57609696
>closets full of deprecated hardware collecting dust.

Same, I don't have the heart to throw away perfectly good stuff and I'm too nervous to sell stuff.

>not building a powerful Windows xp gaming machine with it

>>57602390
I'll put recyclable stuff in the correct bins, but if it requires extra effort on my part such as taking stuff to the recycling center then I won't bother.

The other day I smashed up a 5ft florescent tube and put it straight in the blue general waste bin simply because I don't want the hassle.

Still unsure what to do with my old

AMD 4850e 2x 2.5 GHz (energy efficient Athlon X2)
4 GiB of RAM
BeQuiet PSU
Noise dampened case

It would make a quite nice home server or quiet office PC running GNU+Linux but I already have a GNU+Linux desktop which doubles as a home server, and laptop.

Unsure what to do with it but it tears me apart to throw out perfectly functional hardware as well, like
>>57615920

Anyone got any pointers for first time sellers? I have so many old PC parts and working laptops that I want to do sometime with but everyone in my family is afraid of selling stuff online and considers it "a hassle".

Give it a few more years and we'll end up on one of those hoarding TV shows.

>>57600961
I sold a lot of them some months ago, I have made some bucks.

>>57601115
i threw away my q9450, 8gb gskill ddr2 800, dfi x38 lanparty, ati 4850, two 640gb western digital blacks, sound blaster x-fi, and 650 watt modular powersupply into the trash a few years ago.

wasn't worth trying to resell locally.

>>57601115
You could have given it to some kid who wants to play Minecraft. Seriously serviceable you faggot.

>>57616465
Why should I spare extra resources and cost driving that shit to the recycling center? If it doesn't go into one of the colored bins then its too much effort.

The florescent tube made a hell of a pop when I smashed it and the air got sucked in.

>>57616511
yeah probably, but I also live in one of the richest counties in the US, so I doubt anyone around here would have cared.

>not buying a L5640

>>57602420

I honestly almost threw up.
