when do you typically upgrade your cpu lads?

>>59245203

bought an i5-3570k in 2012 .. dont see any reason for me to upgrade in the next 2 or 3 years tbqh

When it doesn't do the things I want it to anymore and I have the money to buy a cpu that does.

>>59245203
never (｡>﹏<｡)

3-5 years unless CPU improvments have been really slow

I have never upgraded my CPU and will never upgrade.

>>59245203
Source? Reverse Image search gives me nothing.

>>59245203
I went from an i7-920 to an i5-6600k

Unless something changes dramatically in the CPU market, which it might now that AMD competes, I see no reason to upgrade until at least 2022

IT'S A TRAP

>>59245417
Pentium 1 to 4 to Dual Core E8400 to i7-920 to now a i7 6700K.

Feels good. Never touched that filthy AMD.

>>59247285
That makes it more appealing to me!

Phenom II to this Ivy, Ivy to ??? It'll die by the time they have something I want to purchase. AMDing for 4/8 i5 or maybe used lake i7.

>>59247449
Used? You like playing dangerously like a certain British.

>>59245203
When it doesn't perform well enough anymore.

Currently on an i7 870, still not seeing any motivation to upgrade yet.

>>59245203
I don't know, been running a Q9550 since I got it in 2008. Overclocked to 4GHz now and it's still sort of enough for single player games. Might finally upgrade when Zen 2 hits the shelves (second generation should have the kinks ironed out, I hope).

>>59245241
Sauce?

Rewrite (It's a visual novel by Key. Although, there is an anime for it right now as well, but I suggest against watching that because the first season is pretty shit).

I've never had a single CPU die on me. I've had CPUs starting from the first wave of Pentiums. Most of them just became obsolete. My Q8400 is still running strong in a relative's PC.

When I can no longer use the computer it is in so that I have to build an entirely new computer.
So far it seems to be roughly every 8 years

>>59249733
I've had a Pentium MMX 233MHz die after a few years of running fanless
also had a Athlon X3 bite the dust

this stuff might not have the HP of mechanical harddrives, but they're not invincible..

Everytime I buy a new mobo (kinda goes without saying).

For just-CPU upgrades: when I feel that my CPU is bottlenecking me. In a desktop PC I started with a dual core celeron and used it for years, I upgraded to Core2 E8500 when I started to use virtual machines (celeron doesn't have Intel-V) and use processor intensive programs (like gentoo compiling)

Whenever I hit something my whole system can't handle and I absolute must do that thing, I do a complete upgrade
Went from a core2duo e6700 to an i5 4460s
Thinking of moving to either a nicer mid tier Xeon system or one of the new ryzen processors soon, because my cad work is getting it bit too intensive sometimes for the i5 and 280x

>>59250798
>gentoo compiling

Lmao get a life you fucking loser

>>59245203
Every 4 years like clockwork. 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014. I thought I would skip 2018's upgrade because Jewtel, but now that Ryzen is out, there's no excuse.

I'm still on a Q6600 I got almost 10 years ago.

>>59245369
Go for the 6/12 Ryzen, dude. I have a 6300 and will be pulling the trigger in May.

Bought a 3820 some years ago.
Contemplating upgrading to a 6700K/7700K because it seems we've reached the end of CPU improvements anyway.

>>59245203
I have a i5 4670k since 5 years ago.
I will probably never upgrade it unless it breaks. I will just get a new pc in 5-15 years or so.
