i have a i5 2500k in a non-oc mobo, should i bother buying a

Buy a 3930k, theyre dirt cheap now.

Greatest choice ive ever made PC-wise

>>59981620
To how much can you OC a 3930k?

You can either buy a new one or try your hand at overcloacking it, picture related.
I wish I could but the Motherboard I have won't let me.

>>59981620
Those need a different socket.

>>59981429
Xeon 12xx v2, don't get below a 30 as the 20 and 25 don't have SMT enabled. Ones that end in 5 have the GPU enabled.

>>59981673
wow, nice results, any guide on how to overclock ram?
only OC'd cpu and gpu

>>59981620

redpill me on it

>>59981723
>Xeon 12xx v2,
Don't these require expensive as fuck motherboards, also single threaded speeds tend to be shit on xeons, am I wrong?

>non-oc mobo
If its mid tier consumer board you can do light-medium oc.
I still run phenom II 1050t clocked from 2.8 to 3.9ghz on m4a87td no problems.
Do it.
Or sell your 2500k to some autist for gorillion dollars and then with that money upgrade to whatever cpu

No, moving to anything from a 2500K is a downgrade

>>59982045
no normal lga boards they are just i7s with the gpu removed and no overclocking

You have two options as I see it. Clock the sandy or get an ivy 8 thread.
get a p67 off ebay. sell your board for whatever you can get.
flash board to newest bios then put a xeon 1240-70v2 and sell your 2500k.

or be truly ascendant and get a 3770 non k and a cheap oc board then clock it to 4.2/4core 4.4/2core with a 102.4 bclk

>>Xeon 12xx v2,
>Don't these require expensive as fuck motherboards, also single threaded speeds tend to be shit on xeons, am I wrong?
Same 1155 socket, 1270v2 is identical clocks to 3770 non k but has more cache and a locked multi.

>3770 on the way

Yes, doing good considering it was only the 2nd best locked ivy 5. Hopefully the i7 is a good'n too. We'll see what another 200mhz (hopefully) and 4 more threads can do.

it'd be damn sweet, how much did you pay for the i7?
What cooler do you have?

>>59982342

I have a DH77DF itx mobo and a 3770. Do you know if I can do what you said on it?

old 212 plus
$147 after shipping but 3550 sells for around $60-$70 on ebay so after fees and whatever maybe $100

You need a P67,Z68,Z75 or Z77 motherboard. Looks like you have h77.

>>59982761
after some research looks like 4.1ghz is the max on all cores :(

>>59983269
yes 41x with the same 103.7 bclk will give me 4250mhz 4 cores vs the 4044 I have now. Z7x chipsets with multi core enhancement can lock all cores to single core turbo if you had one of those though.

>>59981620
>6 core that isnt a 1600
lmao

I have a d15 on a 2500k and I never even overclocked it. I'm afraid for my motherboard.

>>59985882
still faster than poozen

>>59985933
you wasted your money lmao

>>59987626
>130W TDP
Faster at burning your house down, sure.

>>59987626
>you wasted your money lmao

Not really. I needed a significantly more silent cooler and when I examined the options, investing a bit more into an actually really good one wasn't a dent on my wallet. The D15 is as silent as you can hope for and it's not going anywhere. I can just slap it on a CPU that will eventually replace the 2500k.

Also consider that if I really had to, I would have overclocked the 2500k by now, motherboard be damned. I'm just satisfied with how it works as it is.

>>59987692
Friendly reminder ryzen needs to be over clocked to perform, which makes them literal housefires. 140w at least once you up the voltage to 1.4v to reach 4ghz on aio cooling. Lmao

>>59988250
If you're not overclocking a K cpu, you already wasted your money

>>59988488

Why would I potentially shorten the lifespan of my CPU as well as motherboard if I'm satisfied with how it works? The price difference between the 2500 and 2500k was miniscule (and do remember how cheap these CPUs were in the first place). It was simply a no-brainer move to buy the K version in case you come into a situation where you have to overclock, regardless of whether there will be such a situation.

So what, you're supposed to overclock these for no other reason than to be able to say to yourself "I didn't waste money"? No dude, where I fucked up was in buying a cheap motherboard. Not that I'm having problems with it today, but it's simply a fact that since it's long in the tooth, a little push could throw it overboard. And then I'd have to buy one these new CPUs and motherboards which are stupid expensive and gain little of real value for my purposes.

>>59988634
A $60 G4560 paired with a $50 motherboard offers the same performance as a stock 2500K. Totes expensive, breh.

>>59988740

Didn't know that, thanks. Makes me feel less afraid of losing my motherboard, but still doesn't inspire me to hasten its death.

>>59988634
You're not LN2 clocking it to the moon. I'm still on a P67 board that has been running at 4.5Ghz 1.3v since 2012. Keep it cool and under 1.4v and it will last forever. No additional voltage needed 5 years later
