haven't upped it more since I want it to keep at low voltage 1.2V on load 0.95 idle, deliding is beyond my expertise.
Tbh I would love to see benchmarks without fucking 1080 on it to see how does the 3570k compare to new cpus where the bottleneck wouldn't be as severe as with the 1080.
Unless this shit explodes, I ain't changing cpu soon, if any I would change my 660gtx but I don't play any games that require much more and I'm a poorfag with a 60hz monitor anyway.

It's really easy. If you're scared to do it just get an old Pentium off eBay for like $4 and delid that first so you get an idea of what the process is like.

I delidded my 3570K using the vice only method, whole process took less than an hour and I got temperature drops of about 30C on all cores. It allowed me to push the volts a bit higher and go from 4.5 to 4.7. I'd have done it the day I bought it if I knew it were so easy.

>>61668888
Happened to me too, computer freezed for 5min every 30 second then i had to turn it of and on again with a screen saying me that the cpu overheated. I liberated like 500 gb to format but it stopped than.
Now i have the windows pop up every hour asking me to activate my cracked version of windows

Bought 2500k, 6950(flashed to 6970) and a $200 64gb ssd back in jan 2011 then when the 6970 died in 2014 I got a hand me down 560ti from my room mate which was finally all replaced in 2016 with a 6600k/980ti.
Really anyone who bought the 2500k for 60hz should still be thrilled as you do not need to upgrade for 60 fps and the 26/2700k is even passable for high refresh in some titles which is fucking awesome.
GPU tech advances too fast though a 1080ti is literally 700% faster than a 560ti.

My 560 Ti died in a fiery horrible death in the summer of 2014.

My 2500k was succeeded by a 4790k in the winter of 2015.

I do not have regrets.

Looking to upgrade my old i5-2300 with something stronger.

I thought about a i7-6700k with a z-board for overclocking.
However some people told me the OCing of that i7 barrel yields any results and I could save money if I go for non OC stuff.

I have no clue though what combination of MB+CPU I would be using instead? How much could I save?

Pretty amazing how cool it runs on a slightly dodgy looking and very cheap heatsink, No chance of that with later Intel CPU's.

But it's such a retarded combination. I've got a 1080Ti and a 144Hz 1440p monitor and still don't feel like it's worth it at all. Something as old as a 780 would probably be 3x more than good enough for 1080p 60.

In about 15 years now, I've had three pieces of equipment die:
>One PSU, which died for mysterious reasons after a power-out. It was just breaker that popped, though, so there shouldn't have been any weird spiked or anything to make it die.
>Another PSU, which died because I had "inherited" it from a friend who smoked rather heavily at the time, and the smoker-dust seems to have clogged the fan bearing. Most likely still recoverable if I just replace the fan in it.
>Finally, an old like Pentium MMX Dell that I had salvaged from a scrap-yard. I used to use it as HTTP server and one time when I rebooted it after it had reached 1000 days uptime it wouldn't boot again. One of the power FETs on the motherboard got really hot so that was probably the direct cause, but I have no idea what the root cause might have been, or how long prior to the reboot it had "actually" failed.

Had it at 4.7 for years, but it began getting more and more unstable. Gradually I've been lowing voltage and frequency until it becomes stable again. I re pasted it when this first began, but it didn't help so here we are. If anything, this may be the core reason I upgrade eventually.

2500k is probably good for lower end GPU systems but thank god I don't have it. It's a 4c/4t CPU with slower ram that gets pinned to the wall with 100% usage and can't max Crysis 3 at 60fps

Redpill me on cores for gayming

When I bought my 4670k, the general consensus was that i7 was a waste of money for games

Today the general consensus seems to be that i7 is a better option, and people recommend Ryzen 5 and the upcoming Coffee Lake hexacores. But then why not Ryzen 7? Do hexacores represent an especially good balance between single and multi thread performance? Or is it simply about price?

Why aren't Intel bringing in octacores to compete with Ryzen 7?
