>tfw still using i7 920

do i have the oldest daily driver rig on /g/?

doubt it
you have queers on here using core duos

Slightly older than the Phenom II I'm currently using, yet also better.

chuck an x5650 or other decent 1366 xeon i nthere

Lol no not even close. That said I'm still using an i7 930 and see no reason to upgrade.
Stuck a Titan in there 2 months ago after I moved my 7970GE to my HTPC and it runs great

Probably the longest lasting pieces of tech I've ever owned. Never imagined back then I'd have the same hardware in ten years but why the fuck am I going to upgrade? I stopped gaming after college and my day job is web development so I don't need horsepower.

Only thing that makes me consider upgrading is the noise and power consumption but i'll probably wait until the fall.

>>59040788
unless you pay a metric fuckton for electricity upgrading a computer to make it more power efficient usually takes a decade or more to pay for itself, if it ever does.

You could have saved and got a 1070, you won't see a difference between the 2.

This makes me feel good about my 8350.

It performs pretty much identically to my old 955 in games, although much better in non-game situations.
>>
>>59039939
My shitbox at work is still running an Athlon X2 5400B. The iGPU died a few weeks back so I swapped in a GT 240 we had lying around in our spare parts.

You're missing out. I had the exact same build you did, slapped in an old SATA 2 speed SSD and it was amazing. And that was a total shit SSD in comparison to today's.

Can't swap anything newer into it. Stuck with two 3.2 ghz quad cores from 2008, but too lazy to build an actual PC.

Been waiting for Zen all these years.
It's still pretty decent for what I'm doing except for video encoding.
>>
I just put my 930 in my home server when I broke down and got a Skylake system. More than enough for a few VMs, a game server, and my storage. Maybe I'll get one of those $50 six-core Xeons for it anyway.

I have a 920 from a bricked mobo and cant find a cheap 1366 mobo for it
Any advice or just buy whatever I can find on ebay? Seems like a waste of a perfectly good cpu, goddamn intel and their socket changes

Did you try Craigslist or warehouse clearances? NCIX had a warehouse sale and I bought a 1366 board for $20

Fancy specs don't make you a better developer

Color accurate display DOES make you a more competent WEB developer

Ive been saying JUST WAIT for years.
I dont game as much anymore so
I dont regret holding onto it, seeing how bad Intel has gotten with the market.

A new case might be nice, but I really like the P183.

AMD PLEASE.
