If you're going to stick with Sandy Bridge, 2600K should be your bare minimum these days.

what are you doing for cooling?

>>60871565
Is there even any point in upgrading if you have a stable OC? I cant justify buying a new cpu/motherboard for a tiny performance boost

>>60871583
"Upgrade" to a 2600K.

>>60871623
or 3770K

>>60871623
but I already have a 2700k anon

i5 3570k @ 4.2 with 1.2v
48-68ºC ivy bridge has high diminishing returns so I don't see myself going any higher

>>60871570
Nothing too fancy, SilentiumPC Grandis XE 1236 and a liquid metal thermal paste.
I also added a 3rd fan. It doesn't cool better than just 2 fans, but I can keep them at lower RPM, so it's quieter.
It's a decent cooler, especially since it was like $30, but it's pretty much unavailable outside of Europe.

Sandy bridge was soldered to IHS instead of the dog shit intel uses as TIM now, so it's not even that hard to keep cool. Barely hits 85C in IBT, pretty decent for a 5.1GHz cpu.

Rocking a 2600k here but VERY tempted to switch to Ryzen 1800X. Only holding back because of DDR4 prices.

>tfw got a 2400 because I was too cheap for the 2500k

2500k is one of those legendary processors that come every few years.

I have a i7-2600 (no k) because I got one 2nd hand very cheap at that time. Probably Ryzen in the future but first I need to get a job lel.

>>60871809
>1800X
Either overclock that 2600K to fuck or grab a 1700 and overclock. There's no point in getting the 1800X unless you're too scared to overclock and get a decent cooler.

>>60871482

3570K at 4.5ghz reporting.

Anyone know if there's anything I can do about the silly temps and voltages? I need like 1.325v to get 4.5, and in prime95 it gets to like 100C even with an NHD14 at 100% fans.

Is it worth deliding? Is there anything I can mess with to try and get it to run at lower voltages? Like PLL volts and shit.

Don't really care about it's health or temps, just maybe if I can get it to run at lower volts I can get it to 4.6 or something. If it dies I'll just buy another CPU.

the cooler is a phanteks ph14cth or whatever its called, same performance as an noctua D15

>>60872906

if it's still hot then you need to look into thermalpaste or cooler mounting
if it's cooler then you need faster or more case fans

lmao@ur life.

>>60873010
it should handle 2500K easily unless you're running it at some mad vcore. My guess is not enough airflow through the case

>>60872977
You might be overheating the vrms, put a spot fan over them and set it to extreme instead of t.probe to check if you can get a stable 1.4v, also might have to increase LLC.

>>60873033
1.3v, yeah airflow is shit in my case

I lost the silicon lottery with my 3770k
does 4.3GHz at 1.32V, fucks up when going lower. And for some reason voltage will jump up to 1.356V even though I set 1.32V as maximum.

>Is it worth deliding?

Delidded mine last month, using the vice method. The temperature drop was massive and I went from 4.5 to 4.8. It's worth it in your case but only because of temperature, you aren't going to see significant performance gain. Because judging by your voltage you will likely need 1.4+ for 4.6 which I doubt you will be willing to sit at daily.

I mean a $20 liquid metal TIM is the only cost which is really good if say you want to upgrade to liquid cooler.

As for PLL voltage and bunch of others, leave them auto, only tinker the vcore.

AMD 8120 @ 4Ghz, still perfectly fine

2550K, still going strong.
You didn't use the iGPU anyway.

I'm using an 8350 and haven't lost any performance since 2012 so it's been a good ride. The ride ends now and I can't upgrade to anything since I started a family I have bigger priorities now than to run the latest hardware. Besides, I feel old because what I really needed the hardware for was for streaming movies on my website and playing games. But newer games have really been lack luster.

>>60871482
Changed when i started getting drooped frames on 8k videos on youtube and when i'm streaming in 1080p.

>>60875075
I have the overclocked 3550, only needed 1.18v for 4.0, 1.25v for 4.1 but mainly because it goes +2 on 2 cores. I never tried limiting all cores to x39 but 400mhz usually doesn't require much
https://valid.x86.fr/964x80
>>60875167
400mhz on cougar point (I think GB sniper z68 might have MCE)
400mhz single core/600mhz(ivy), 700mhz (sandy) on panther point with Multi Core Enhancement/ Enhanced Turbo enabled. They are binned for a reason though and you might not reach 4.3GHz on a 3770 non k before it starts getting too hot. A 2600 non k should be able to hit it's max 4.2 since it is soldered. You cannot +4 clock or use MCE on the Xeon CPUs iirc, only bclk. Problem is the oc boards can be expensive used and have questionable lifespans if they were ran hard.

how long can I expect to do with 2600 (no-k)

>>60875839
The upgrade is pretty meh. And that's assuming you sell your CPU and you get only a used 3770K. Regular 3770 is more a sidegrade.
It's an open question if paying out some $100 to hold onto an aging 1155 platform even longer is worth it.

The smaller the fabrication process, the larger the capacitance becomes. Any dielectric is rated for its dielectric strength in terms of Volts per meter (V/m). Once you exceed the V/m rating of a dielectric, it will conduct electricity and no longer be an insulator. As the process gets smaller, the capacitor dielectric gets thinner, and fails at a lower voltage. So Haswell will likely suffer negative effects faster than Sandy Bridge thanks to being 22nm versus 32nm, but those chips are also years newer.

But I wouldn't worry about it - they'll probably be obsolete long before they die. Even at the current speed of "progress" in the CPU market.

I've been borderline pissed looking at CPU performance every year, and realizing for tge low price of 500 shekels I could get a new cpu that's a whole 5% better than my 2600k.

It's been what, six years? And my best option is a 1700/1800, but even that wouldn't make much sense considering I almost never bottleneck on cpu. Sandy bridge was special.

Intel have been very careful not to make the same mistake twice. They always build in some flaws to keep the upgrade itch there. Sandy Bridge was essentially perfect in every way, save for not having VT-d on the unlocked parts.

Yeah, but I don't really give a shit. Like I said if it dies I'll just replace it.

In gaming (which is it's primary use) it mostly sits below 95C so it's fine.

>>60871482
I had one but i recently upgraded to a R7 1700.

>>60883417

Fair point.

Sold mine for a 2600k a few years ago.

Even though oc'd still very strong chips the 2600k at 4.4 ghz was bottlenecking my 1080.

I recently switched over to a 6700k and many cpu heavy titles which had lag in certain areas now are mostly smooth in those areas.

Still, seeing how cheap you can pick up a used 2600k it's still a great deal

>tfw still running stock after 5 years

Me and I don't see any reasons to switch so far. I'm using it to compile big ass c# projects and I don't gaym or edit videos.

>>60884849
I have a 2600K paired with a 1080 and have had zero "lag" in any game, including some of the most CPU-intensive stuff out there like Watch Dogs 2. Name some games where you did.

But the 2500K is a bottleneck in modern games.

The only Sandy Bridge CPU that comes close to stock Skylake- and Kaby Lake-tier performance is the i7 2700K overclocked to at least 5.2 GHz.

That's bullshit though. A 2600K at 4.7GHz is identical in performance to a stock 6700K according to CPU-Z's benchmark. Any further gains are down to faster RAM in a few select games that like it, such as Fallout 4, since Sandy Bridge is hard limited to 2133MHz by its memory controller (Ivy will happily run 2400MHz on the same boards).

All i5s are struggling in more recent CPU-heavy titles, including the 7600K (especially with frametimes).

>nd save it for avoiding the botnet or sell it for new hardware?
Sandy Bridge is part of the botnet. All Intel chips since Nehalem have NSA Inside-approved backdoors.
Also, support for enterprise LGA1155 has officially ended, so your CPU is now competing with $300+ Xeon CPUs.

>>60889266
Ah shit, I thought it was one of the very last ones before the (((botnet))). I'm gonna wait and see before I upgrade as DDR4 is still pretty expensive.

>>60883573
opinions on performance improvement? been eyeing this upgrade myself.

>>60892533
Not him, but if you need more cores then go for it. Its a little better performance per thread than sandy bridge, nothing mind blowing. And they top out around 4ghz now. That will increase as newer batches, revisions and models comes along.

The multithread performance is very good, definitely will hold you for years.

For the price its pretty much your best choice if you want 8c/16t.

However, Intels Coffee Lake is just a few months away.. They will add a 6 core overclockable model to the mainstream platform.

Its pretty much guaranteed to have better performance per thread than current ryzen, and probably overclocks better.

I don't think there's any word on price yet, and with ryzen so competitive now, you whould think the prices whould be more affordable like AMD..

But probably not.. Its the jews after all.

>>60893131
>They will add a 6 core overclockable model to the mainstream platform.
That overheats to hell and back because of how it's designed. Intel needs to come up with something better. Every time you increase the core count on an Intel they have to keep dropping the speed.

>>60880497
I love Ivy, my laptop would only throttle at 103°C. After cleaning it and applying Conductonaut, it dropped to ~80°C at full load, up to 90°C if the iGPU was maxed as well. (ran multiple instances of a game on the dGPU and iGPU, good times)

I have a 1700 with an X370 board now and the performance is pretty good, sure, but p-state oc only works when it wants to, you can't control the frequency properly (like with ThrottleStop), no iGPU, it has shit RAM support, latency spikes while utilizing SSDs (60%+ load), shit clocks, high idle power consumption (~18W, Haswell i7 sits at ~8W) and some other smaller issues. Will try to sell it probably.

The 2500k was a beast, still is for the majority of users.

>Its pretty much guaranteed to have better performance per thread than current ryzen, and probably overclocks better.
Nah, it's going to be a slight improvement over the 6800K, a CPU that the 1600/1600X already easily equals. So it won't be nearly as competitive as you're hoping for.

2550k counts, right?

You guys are fucking pathetic. It was more than 2 times as expensive as the 2500k. How can you call that a masterrace? 2500k IS the masterrace because of it's performance and price range.

Could you possibly sound any more butthurt and jealous? And the 2600K was $100 more expensive than the 2500K at launch. Not even 50% more expensive, let alone twice as much, and it's held up much better in gaming, to the point where an overclocked 2500K can't touch a stock 2600K.

Sure, you made a bad call, but it was six years ago, anon. Get over it.

No difference in software that only use single - or at max two - thread(s). And the most taxing gayming software of the past decade exclusively use two threads at max. In these (ARMA2 for example), Zen (even with latest AGESA *.6) is no better than SB and actually slightly slower clock-to-clock.

Mine did 4ghz aircooled (phanteks ph-tc14pe), ran ganes decent for quite a while but glad I got a x3470 for cheap before BF4 came out, because the i5 struggled a bit there when I tested it. 750 probably struggles alot now I imagine.

The x3470 @ 3.8ghz still runs everything fine to this day acrually. It'll do 4.2ghz on water but ran air most of the time for more quiet. Just recently upgraded to this >>60877642

Overclocks like crazy and you can throw pretty much everything you want in the mobo's without sacrificing 16x for the gpu.
