Shock.
Fucking.
Horror.

but does the faster memory make a difference?

>basically my cpu can last me for almost 8 years now
More like any CPU bought during the last 5~ years will last until they come up with an entirely new material or way for manufacturing CPUs.
Especially if you happen to be sporting a 6 core version.
There's simply no reason for the average user to upgrade these things.

>tfw i5 2500k

>>60208322
Feels good knowing the next upgrade I do won't involve a new motherboard & CPU combo, just a GPU.

>>60208522
These, huge performance gains are a thing of the past.

my old i5 3550 is almost good as 7500.... WHAT HAPPENED? so basically my cpu can last me for almost 8 years and it's already 5 years old.

>>60208322
A lot of people don't know this but the i7s starting from Haswell are fucking beasts.

An i5 4690K needs to be clocked to 4.6Ghz to match a stock clocks 4790K in single core, and the 4790K still can overclock better than the 4690K.

You should update to the latest version of CPU-Z though.

>tfw i7-3820
I'm sad because I think my motherboard is becoming faulty and I will need to upgrade

>>60208363
>devil's canyon IPC increase
kek

>tfw E5-2696v3
18c/[email protected], and up to 3.8GHz when running single/dual threaded stuff.

>>60208322
Which is why getting current high end CPU is a meme, unless you do mainly video encoding. Which there is only three reasons you do it, either you are a /v/irgin streamer, animu weeb encoder, or a professional media producer.

>>60208811
too bad 4790k's cost 500 dollarydoos.

I'm still running on an old Core 2 system. Is it viable to say get a Haswell or Broadwell CPU? I just want to take advantage of DDR3 and SATA3. I mostly do a bit of coding and console emulation.

>>60208322
Gee, no supprise.
Competitor stopped innovating since athlon64x2/c2d era, shit can be bad at least until recently.

Did i win the silicon lottery? i got 1.210 core voltage on 4.4Ghz. got it first try. stress test the hell out of it. GTA V , aida64extreme, asusrealbench stress, heaven 4.0 all runs good 1 hour each

>>60209155
Yes, the chip can literally go to 5.2ghz with vcore 1.3.6

>>60209179
>200w

>>60209155
You should run them overnight at least for stability. If it can go for 12 hours with no errors, you can trust it to not make errors when it's crunching files.

>>60209254
nah, 5 minutes of prime95 should do it.

>>60208322
> tfw paid 250$ for a 4770k 3 years ago

Feels good

>>60209280
>tfw paid the same for a 4790k thanks to microcenter deal back then

>>60209271
45minutes prime95 is the best choice just to be 99% safe

I made a budget build in 2014 with a 4430 and a 270.
I had just gotten into pc building so I was basically forced by my parents to get a build made, while I could have spent the same money and gotten an infinitely better PC.
Now I spend my days wondering if I should just fuck this rig off and get used parts for the same price and more performance, or be stuck upgrading this piece of shit

>>60208363
>"5%" "increase" in IPC to Devil's Canyon
Devils Canyon was just a refresh, so was kabby lake, neither had an IPC increase. Stop making Intel look slightly less shit than they are.

Would you care to explain what you think the benefits of those things are for the average desktop user/gaymer?

>>60210242

Possible through a Clover UEFI boot.

32 GB RAM is enough for now.

maybe

Wait for Zen 2. Single core perf. will even up with Intel and there will be no reason not to switch over.

>>60209016

Broadwell is shit, wait for skylake x if you want HEDT, it releases in June so its right around the corner

>>60213132
My i7-3850k is doing just fine at 3.7GHz (it's never been hotter than 66*C on core 1). I'll need a better CPU cooler to think about overclocking comfortably.

I'm going to wait until R7-3800X arrives before changeover.. that or if the CPU/MoBo fails before then.

kek

>>60213432
Yup. The constant socket changes on the same damn chip for 6+ years killed my support for Intel (on top of the other dirty pool they play).

In fact, I'll join you anon. R7-2800X ho!

>>60213307

>>60213485
You might as well just buy into AM4 now. Not like AMD's going to switch the socket on you.

Did you delid?

>>60214107
Nope, just a Swiftech H220X on there.
Got it stable at 4.7 Ghz but the power draw and heat aren't worth it for a daily driver.

>>60214187
Damn that's the most expensive cooler I've ever seen. My shitty 212 evo doesn't even handle 4.5GHz on 3770K @ 1.25v

>>60214237
I planned on adding a GPU to the loop when replacing my 2 HD7970 but that never happend. I gave one to a friend and the other one is still there with the stock cooler on it to serve me after all these years.
And I'm not going to buy a $120 waterblock for a $100 video card.

AMD supporting fag here running a 4770K for a few years now. The OP image shows his CPU at 4.7Ghz vs stock 7700K at 4.2 Ghz. Not entirely fair point IMHO. Put your 4770K at 4.2Ghz for a proper comparison.

>>60213506
Why buy a $220 cpu (anything under R5 1600 is not worth it) Just to replace it next year?

>>60208322
I think I get around 10k on a 6-core X5650 at 4.1 ghz, but that thing was made 7 years ago. It's still great even for recent games like Overwatch (above 150 fps even in the most intensive fights at 1080p, 100% render, 1060 3gb, low settings).
