Who decade old processor here?

>i want to use more power for less performence!

Hell yeah!

My PC has a Q6700 in it.

new cpus are not free. an old pc will run years with the money that a new pc costs.

i5-2500 here, still rolling fine.

Those were great but the FB-DIMMs really killed them for power and thermal.

I think Westmere era shit is the sweet spot for super-low price with most of the features that made processors after the Core 2 era better - on-die memory controller, CPU-integrated graphics, more instructions, return of Hyper-Threading in a way that actually worked, more emphasis on PCIe and connection to it, etc.

Main laptop is still a T500 running a T9600 though.

I used a Pentium D for my home server

Intel Core i5 750 ca. 2009 here. It's fine.

amd phenom ii x4 965
Still going strong as fuck boy

my e5450 is clocked @ 4.01GHz and my room is fucking toasty during the winter that I don't have to turn the heat on

>decade
pentium g840 here. i'm getting there. shit sux.

hows the space heater doing?

my fucking nigger, god i loved that cpu

the only reason i switched away a few years ago was because so many of the motherboards from that era were shit and would explode into flames if you overclocked--i later found out my mobo was one of them. otherwise i'd probably still be rocking it, at a smooth 4ghz (or better). it lives on in me mum's PC, though

I5 2500k and laughing about it. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

AMD is a meme
These intel workhorses serve us well.

Intel e6550 from 2007

>X5675 @ 4.4 GHz
Hasn't let me down yet.

Q9550 @3.4 Ghz here. waiting for Zen 2.

My first 1366 cpu in 2010 was a i7 920 d0, did 4.5ghz on water. Needed 1.45vcore, 1.45 vtt and 1.9v pll, ran hotter than hell but damn what a cpu.

Been running this x5660 the last few years only on 4.2ghz, it'll do 4.5-4.6ghz without too much hassle, but I don't need more cpu power and perfer lower heat output.

I really don't see myself needing a upgrade anytime soon.

Feels good boomers.

same here man
I see no reason to upgrade and able to run new games just fine

I have a load of mid-range laptop and desktop CPUs from 2002-2014. Are they worth anything? What's a fair price? What's the best way to sell them? Any other way to utilize them?

Wow, way to be specific.

It is entirely model dependent.
Stuff from 2002-2008 is pretty much worthless, from 2008-2014 you could have some value depending on models.

I used a e2700 or some thing overclocked to 4.5ghz till 2017 pubg was the only game made so badly that I had to upgrade and now after pubg is optimized it would prob get 50fps (was getting 24fps at launch)

got a 7600k now that im about to delid and direct die cool with a iceman die guard frame to protect it from ebay for 20$.

sorta interested in getting a higher core count but not really kinda regret not getting the 7350k desu because it was the last 2core cpu that can overclock I think..

might actually get a 7350k second hand just to meme actually. there is some thing funny about overclocking it massively and getting more fps than a i9 ^_^

My gigabyte Z68X-UD3-B3 died and finding a "new" 1155 board is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

2500k is last good cpu intel made

>Core 2 Duo 6700

Attached: toaster.jpg (2528x1896, 1.62M)

does that gen of cpu only support PCIe2.0 thou which is same as running a PCIe 3.0 slot at 8x rather than 16?

that will start to get you fairly large fps drops soon on your gpu.. I would trash it unless your planning to stay on 980/1060 teir graphics for another 5 years.

Core 2 duo represent

im on 1600x for a year now

im using the 2500k for freenas

>P55C
i430TX board by any chance?

ok. honestly getting a cheap 8350k and finding a cheap second hand z170/z270 motherboard with a vrm that can hit 5.5ghz and has the bios already modded to support 8 series would a pretty massive upgrade even to a 1600x all you have to do is cut out 2 pins on it and draw a pencil mark on the back of the cpu.

prob get you like 50 more fps lol. AMD sucks.

get xeons for 20$ or an extreme x5690 for 70~80$

you better not be trying to shill me intel products.

im not planning to upgrade until zen 2 comes out. and why the fuck would i jump platforms again.

DELID THIS

Just Replaced my I7 920 with an I5 8400
That Cpu was a beast
Will live on in a second pc

prob only cost you 200$ all up if you already have decent cpu cooler..

deliding a amd soldered cpu and direct die cooling gives you 5deg better temps. soilders IHS cpus suck paste IHS suck... IHS in general suck at least with intel its easier to remove. if your worried about damaging the die from direct die cooling you can get a support frame for 20$ from ebay iceman die guard frame that lets you put heatsink directly on die and rest is supported via the iceman frame.

seriously if your main computers for gaming which I assume it is if you have 1600x you should jump ship you will get way more fps on a 8350k at 5.5ghz than that 1600x.

For $200 you can get a pentium, a mobo, and some RAM, and outperform your crappy core2duo

Why are you so desperately trying to shill me intel stuff?

It's a the cheapest MSI Z270 but still. I have an i7 4790, there is no hope I could just slap a 8700K right? Maybe with a BIOS mod or whatever.

Athlon 64x2 4000+ here

This has been my only desktop computer since december 2007. I've used it nearly every day since then. It has the same hardware (RAM sticks, CPU, motherboard) as when I first built it, the only differences are that I added 4GB extra RAM in 2011 and got a new video card in 2014 because the old one broke.

I dunno how long I'll keep using this, but it could well be another 3 years or so. It does everything I really need to do.

Still using a Pentium 4 machine from 2005. It can play high bitrate 720p videos and emulate PS1 games. What else do you need?

I'd like to replace my machine with a low wattage x86 SBC but they aren't quite powerful enough yet.

Dual core turion master race standing by

I7-920, not sure what year it is

about 8 x compaq ML/DL 370 G2 servers with dual
Intel Pentium III 1.13 GHz in each. all fully working with ram and hdd's etc. haha. not currently in use tho. can't be bothered with pics. but am here!

yes you can with a bios mod search it on google some one has prob already hacked the bios of MSI people said they easiest to hack. you have to do some other shit but its possible to get it running with 100% of things working but takes some fiddle. it should even run 9900k

because for 200$ you can get 50 more FPS in games

compared to finding a old mobo for your 2500k for 50-100$ that will be shit.

take the cooler off the 2500k and put it on your new 8350k system dumb ass. you don't need more than 4core to game for the next 10years.

keep your amd system as your server and for rendering videos and upgrade it to some thing with more cores in afue years if you become a youtuber or some thing.

don't buy a 2500k mobo its retarded use of money.

50$ z170/z270 + 150$ 8350k and take a stick of ram out of your 1600x system you only need 8.

>not currently in use tho.
doesn't count then

or even get a 7350k instead of 8350k if you can find one super cheap. its the same core.

you could literally spend the same you would on a 2500k mobo that will give you 0fps improvement on a z170/z270 and cheap cpu to give you 50+fps at 5.5ghz.

So let me get this straight i should spend money on a new board and cpu (we are talking euros here btw). Then over clock this non hyperthreaded cpu to 5,5ghz where it becomes a literal oven, just so i could get more FPS in games where im already getting 144hz?

Fuck off shill

I will never buy a non soldered CPU from intel.

E8400 in desktop. C-50 APU in laptop(about 8 years old)

Shit sux :(

soldered CPUs are shit. if you take the lid off a soldered cpu you get 5deg better direct die cooling.

thermal paste cpu you get like 8deg better.

intel know if you care about temps you will just take IHS off and leave it off that's why they don't solder it because it makes it harder for enthusiasts to remove.

soldered IHS is crap because IHS in general is crap. the easier it is to remove and throw in the bin with your motherboard warreny return pinout protective frame the better.

Core2 meme is as dead as are those 12 years old motherboards with blown caps.

on a 955BE right now.
I skipped Thubans, and actually purchased a 990FX board locally but a deal on the 8350 fell through so I got rid of the board.
I got into Intel a bit during the Ivy bridge days and would like to go team red again if the deals are good.
Maybe I'll snatch up some Ryzen 1st gen people are throwing the 1600/1700 away on craigslist.

>i5-2500k
>decade old
lolno.
I am using a passively cooled intel haswell for a number of years now. More than fast enough as long as you don't bloat it up with windows of course.
Since that model is 5 years old, you should be able to pick up something significantly faster, even though I doubt you need that extra speed.

Werks for me.
