gtfo grandpa bet u cant even play fortnite at 144 fps with that
Xavier Ortiz
My Pentium 1 system is still working without any issues, too.
Zachary Morris
still waiting for a worthy successor, too
it will be the 3700x, I think
Blake Bennett
When I stopped playing vidya it became true.
Noah Ross
Now apply the patches intcel.
Nicholas Rivera
depending on your use case, an athlon cpu is never obsolete as well
Ian Hill
Based. fAilMD can't and will never release something like this.
Benjamin Lopez
intel peaked right here. also a never obsolete.
Connor Nguyen
Is this the official poorfag cope thread? Need a couple of Haswell quad-core owners in here too if so.
Anthony Davis
What do you do with your old 2500k once you update? I think of keeping mine, it served me well in my 20s
Aaron Jenkins
>Haswell quad-core
The only reason Sandy is decent is because they used actual solder instead of the GARBAGE mayo paste. So you can lean on an i5-2500k and keep it at 4.7GHz its entire life where as you're lucky to keep a 4570k/4690k at stock clocks without having to delid.
Nicholas Perez
Q6600 all day
Eli Edwards
It was called Haslel with good reason. Why did they revert back to that shit with the 7th gen though

honestly the Q6600 is a fantastic chip if you have had it since launch. I put a cheap SSD and GTX 750Ti in a Q6600 build and the thing works great for 720p gaming.
Gavin Ross
Give it to a younger family member to get them interested in computers and hope they don't end up becoming a namefag
Elijah Lewis
I can run GTA 5 in 1200p with the 750ti, 8bgb ram and an ssd. OCed the chip with the tape mod to 3GHz and it works well.
Andrew Kelly
My 4690k is running quite fine at 4.6GHz without being delidded.
Nicholas Fisher
they never left. Ivy, Haswell, Devil's Canyon, Skylake, Kaby Lake, and Coffee lake are all garbage paste. They bragged about Devil's Canyon having "fixed" the problems but it was just a band-aid really. Even 9th gen has "solder" but it's nowhere near as good as proper solder like on Ryzen.
Camden Perez
I'm still running a 4690 at 4.6 under water though
Justin Morris
Lacks AVX2 and VT-D
Haswell has more staying power due to this then Sandy Bridge. There really hasn't been any important instructions added since Haswell (AVX512 is really only datacenter orientated and no single chip has the full opcode set, its kind of a mess)

depends on the cooling solution. Difference is you could get 4.6GHz to 4.7GHz on a moderate air cooler. I owned an i7-4790k and it was a furnace under load with barely any OC.
Ryan Morales
2600k reporting in, although waiting for 3900x to arrive later this week.
Jonathan Martinez
i3-3220 reporting in, still going strong because I use my PC for work and not gayming
Ryan Anderson
I have a ThinkPad with a 486DX that still works
Jackson Sanders
word but 4790k
Camden Collins
Bet I can
Sebastian Hill
i7-6700k here. still an amazing cpu that never quits.
Isaiah Sanders
still going
Angel Reed
The chad Pentiun D dabs all over this meme core chips
Jack Lewis
Haswell has ~15% better IPC than Sandy Bridge, so it doesn't matter if it's clocked slightly lower. It can also handle faster memory, whereas Sandy Bridge tops out at 2133MHz. You're delusional when it comes to the hurr durr stock clocks nonsense as well. I had a 4790K from 2014-2015 and ran it at 4.6GHz just fine without a delid on a Noctua NH-U14S. Needless to say it stomped your Sandy Bridge trash into the dust even then.
Enjoy your COPE, my friends.
Juan Phillips
Honestly I upgraded from that to the Ryzen 2600 a little while ago and it was a huge upgrade. Imagine if you get a 3rd gen.
Aaron Gutierrez
lmao I don't even have sandy, I'm not poor. I'm on 9th gen. I was just saying why people kept Sandy for so long compared to Haswell.
David Bell
Always stagnant.
Jordan King
you're wrong and Sandy Bridge is the goat
