>i5

Sure this 18 core chip is a meme processor but so is your i5

>>378511139
I got my i5 from a buddy who was upgrading to an i7, so it was super cheap.

Enjoy your housefires.

What does it mean when a core is not soldered?

>>378513970
It means you have to rely on the thermal paste used between the die and the heat spreader to dissipate heat, and since the paste Intel has been using recently sucks ass, that doesn't bode well for your CPU's temperatures.

>>378514927
Is that an internal thing and different from the paste I apply when installing the CPU and attaching my heatsink? Otherwise couldnt that just be alleviated by buying better paste yourself? It's not like it's particularly expensive

>>378515113
No, it's the paste used underneath the metal covering on top of the die. You'd need to delid your CPU to replace it, which can void your warranty or damage it if you're not careful.

>>378510948
What for? Games have gone to shit anyway and there isn't anything I'm looking forward to.

>>378515265
Oh so this is affects getting the heat inside the CPU to that plate on top that I attach my heatsink to? Ok yeah that does sound bad

Fuck these assholes and fuck you for supporting them.
