CPUG? Don't mind me here, boys, just rolling on an outdated AMD FX-4300. Surprisingly enough, combined with my 390, Witcher 3 and other stuff does perfectly fine at 1080, and 1440. I used to to encoding for video files but that isn't an issue anymore. Overall a nice buy for only $80.

>>54626259
I can smoke your score on my 3770k. Do you run passmark at stock speed?
>>54626687
That's low voltage for that speed on that CPU. Thats like Intel level voltage for that frequency. Whoever's CPUZ that is won the silicon lottery.
>>54626885
Looks like a slight OC, it's scoring 20% over the 5820k in single core. It should be ~5-15% faster at stock, not 20%. Though he could just have particularly good cooling allowing for a higher turbo clock or something I suppose.
4.3ghz on 1.02v is pretty neat imho.
Ivy-E best bridge.
>>54626913
Thanks for the good information. I never went past Z77 and 3770k and ::Pulls out e-peen:: I was on the top 20 passmark list for most of 2012 and 2013 but couldn't compete with 4960X or anything like that. I need to study up on the new over clocking techniques because the next Extreme series is looking nice. Anyways, thanks again and I wish you a good evening
>>54627014
Yeah man you also undoubtedly won the silicon lottery. Top 5% of Ivy-E easy
>>54626911
I don't recall my voltage because I have been away from all that kind of thing for some time. Whoever this is is a good bit more lucky than I am, but mine isn't very bad at all. I have actually come to appreciate this little monster. It does what I need it to and well. No complaints really, but I did a lot of research to get it to work.
Will see if I have my CPUZ log on my external or something. I'm curious now how I compare.
>>54627078
If you can hit 5GHz+ under 1.45 on AMD that's fucking outstanding. Either way, I am sure you also have an excellent chip

No.
Buy an i3 6100 or a10 7870k. They're both fine for games, i3 is better performing, but apu is better value (cheaper and better igpu).

this FX6100 has done well though.

but i kinda had to go to 1151 because the AM3+ socket is almost was non existent and not even being sold in my country with any varitty besides i need a light green build so its not really for the brands more for Colours -'n-sheit all thanks to intel shills
Honestly both companies have done great service to me over the years so I don't feel like
needing to tell everyone every five minutes.
in regradrs to to 8XXX series 125 watts was too much of a burden because i have 4 pC and 8 phones a console and TV to pay power too
But i'll get a APU in a new Laptop next year
I tested a caizo ACER in the shop today and blown away all the i5 U based machines out of the water well worth the 800NZD
I'm not a big fan of intel moblie chips in all honesty
needing a GPU and CPU in a laptop seems pointless now that we have eGPU's out.

>>54630283
An i3 6100 should offer plenty performance and isn't too expensive.
It's as fast as an i5 6400, so if you want 4 cores you should grab an i5 6500 at the minimum.

For vidya, an i3 is better. For video editing, the 8350 is better, but you're not going to get exactly stellar performance in games with 270x anyway. But there's no reason to get the low-powered version of the i3 for your use-case, consider https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33771/intel-core-i3-6100 instead. 30 AUD cheaper and comes with higher clocks.

>>54630949
Get the fuck out of here, my friends 8350 beats the shit out of my 2500k in every game released this year
>>54631032
>Is it just the lack of utilization of all the cores?
Most games, even ones that DO use all the cores, put the heaviest load on a single-core because DX11 is bad at multithreading. This'll probably change when more games start using DX12 and Vulcan, but since DX12 requires Windows 10, don't expect many games to fully take advantage of it for a long while.
>Is an i3 really going to beat an older, say, Sandy i5?
I can't be bothered to look up proper benchmarks, but http://anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=1645 should give you some indication(the i3 isn't the same one I linked, but it's clocked almost the same, so it should also perform the same). People may deride the 5-10% IPC improvement per generation intel makes these days, but across multiple generations they do add up. If you get a sandy bridge or ivy bridge i5 and overclock it enough, I'm sure you'll match or beat the i3-6100 even in single-threaded benchmarks. But you'll be stuck with an aging MOBO that doesn't have all the features of new chipsets like USB 3.0 support and is only going to get harder to find decent replacements for. I'm not entirely sure the performance justifies all the downsides if you go as far back as sandy bridge or ivy bridge.
>>54631156
Yeah no, DOOM and tomb raider use the 8350 cores just fine (can use every gpu with no bottleneck) and it's more future proof than a shitty i3 , whatever you do don't fall for the i3 is better than a FX bullshit
>>54631032
>What makes the i3 better in games?
>Is it just the lack of utilization of all the cores?
Part that and part AMD having horrible single-thread performance. Most games are designed to spread some of the workload across 2-4 cores now but rendering is mostly limited to single thread still, unless the game uses dx12 or vulkan.
If you've got a second-hand hookup you can trust then an i5 or i7 from the sandy bridge era or later would serve well for a long time to come. Or if you don't want to OC, maybe keep an eye out for some xeon kit from an older workstation or server.
>>54631147
post clocks, i've got one lying around and need ideas on what to do with it
>>54631177
Stop spreading misinformation. All the games from the past 2 years use the cores just fine and in older games you still get 60fps. My fx 8350 utilisation in modern games is 50% meanwhile the i3 and older i5s struggle.

I'm planning to buy a new pc and Im stuck between an i3 6100 and an i5 6500. I really want to spend the least amount of money but I also want to be able to play the latest titles in at least a playable framerate. Most suggestions I get says that I should get the i5 but I feel as though I'm wasting my money on the i5 when I would only use the pc for vidya and for other light tasks.
Most of the activity that I would perform on the computer is play games while watching a movie or playing Hearthstone.
Any thoughts?
>>54631331
i5 6500 has at most 25% performance increase over i3 6100. don't listen to idiots with buyers remorse
>>54631331
Define "playable framerates". And then look at >>54631222
If you try to play games while doing other things with the computer, your performance may suffer, but otherwise the i3 should work just fine, as long as you don't demand that the framerates never drop below 60.
>>54631331
Get the i5 if you don't want to be bottlenecked in a year

Fact:The snapdragon 800/801 is the 2500k of smartphones. Smartphones that run any of these processors probably won't have to be upgraded for a few more years before they feel sluggish.
Anyone disagree?
>>54631414
Disagree. Until smartphones match modern desktop performance there will continue to be software that has requirements exceeding the phone's capabilities.
>>54631499
But for the average person, even probably most of /g/, they don't do very intensive things on their smartphones. The snapdragon 800 series will still work fine for internet browsing, social shit, streaming videos and music, etc. Maybe if someone plays a lot of games having the most powerful snapdragon would be very important.

>Is it worth overclocking a 4790k. The thing is pretty fast as is, do you gain a lot jumping .5ghz?
Performance increases nearly linearly with clockspeed(it's actually a bit less thanks to factors such as RAM latency which aren't effected by the CPU clockspeed), so you can figure out yourself how much extra performance you get out of the card. Power consumption does NOT scale linearly once you have to adjust the voltage, however, so you'll have to invest in a better cooler. Whether it's WORTH it depends entirely on what you need the extra power for.

Oh sweet I didn't check the thread, you're a retail guy like me, hell yeah. The deal on the 6700 was too good to pass up.

System is going to my gf, trying to get her into PC gaming. It has a 670 and a case I don't really like so I'm just gonna do a new build. The hardest part is figuring out how much to spend on a CPU, I don't really have a limit but around $2k total would be good.
I'm budgeting out a new build since I'm at 2500k master race but can't upgrade this computer anymore. Should I go with a skylake or wait for many Lake? Also waiting for the 1070 to release.

Man, I'm pretty jelly. I want a cute toy version of my processor.
Guys I upgraded from Pentium D 925 to Core 2 Duo E4500.
It cost $10.
Now Windows 7 runs very smoothly . I'm so glad I did this .
Now I just need a decent GPU (bad particle effects currently) and I'll be set for playing pre 2005 games in their full glory.

I'd rather undervolt and keep this clock though.
If I could get it stable at 1.1v or less I'd be really happy.
I have a 4690k, how long do you guys reckon I can go without cpu upgrading while still playing all the latest games well? 4 years?
>had to trade me i5-2500k to i3-5005u
0/10 wont do it again

skylake and beyond
I should probably replace the fan on my CPU cooler eventually, it's broken right now.
I'm still using Westmere-EP, and probably will for many years. No reason to move beyond LGA1366 yet.
>>54639296
>eventually
do it right now retard
a decent cooler costs like 20 bucks
>>54639330
>yfw it's been dead for over a year
Or longer, that's just when I noticed.
>>54630262
That's p bad man.
Skylake gets hot p quick given the opportunity but for most things runs pretty cool. Like 20s on a hot day.
>>54638912
Go on eBay and search "16 core Xeon" should pop right up.

What?
The i3 can handle just about any modern game.
Fuck, even my i3 2120 still handles everything just fine. Only game that's an issue is planetary annihilation.
Will I ever need to upgrade if my 2500k is OCd to 5.0GHz?
>>54625642
Vanilla 2500k here, haven't even OC'ed it yet, waiting for some game to ask me for it.
Feels good having the best processor since the Q6600.
Should I fall for the I7 meme?
>>54641571
I'll be falling for the broadwell refresh meme soon
>>54626159
my cousin had a dell with a bloomfield i7 930 where the HD died. replaced it for them and it's still a great machine after almost six years. no way would I ditch that thing.
>>54626643
Yeah certain games don't seem to suffer too much with AMD's CPU architecture. Witcher 3 and Battlefield 4 being that main two.
My favorite part about intel these days is you don't even have to find a stable voltage for your overclock if you don't want to, just pick your multiplier and set voltages to auto and boom your good to go. So convenient.
>>54641571
hyper threading isn't really worth the extra $100 IMO
>>54641998
Idk man, it's one of the reasons my friend upgraded from his i5 750 and my i7 870 is still chugging along.
>>54641998
Depends what you're doing
If you regularly do tasks that utilize hyperthreading then that $100 will be well spent. If however you rarely use more than 2-4 cores at a time, hyper threading will do fuck all for you and that's $100 wasted.
Gaming is the big problem, many games still only use 2-4 cores and so that i5 quad core is cheaper by $100 and performs identically to that quad core with hyperthreading i7. HOWEVER, some games are starting to use more cores, and with DX12 and Vulcan APIs hitting this year, we should see more and more games making use of more cores. Meaning that $100 may not matter for the games you play now, but in 3-5 years? Could be the difference between unplayable fps or nice and smooth.
3930k here
i dont know why i would upgrade
>>54641998
Hyperthreading is absolute dogshit.
Once you have Hyperthread, you have no idea anymore what the real world CPU load is. It's only guessing and confusing.
It's another "stepping stone just like closed source software" when you start learning how to administrate and control computer by actually programming them to do stuff literally automagically.
Look it up, nobody has a definitive answer about how to calculate the real load, literally not even Intel engineers.
I think you should care about knowing real world CPU load, but maybe that's just me.
I'm on my beautiful penryn, living it up
>>54642256
what the fuck are you talking about
do you even know what hyperthreading does?
Say I wanted to have a dual socket system just for laughs and to try some shit. I basically want to do stupid stuff on it while seeing if itd be worth it as a mini workstation.
Whats the cheapesr way to get one? As long as it can run 2008 games with a cheapo gpu (was thinking used 7850 or 7970) itd be fine. Mainly f2p mmos like lorto and rift and general timewasting.
Im getting into video editing and am hoping for a dual socket am4 if its as good as people hope as a "workstation" is this all just a stupid idea?
>>54642256
This very similar to the kind of reactions you get from old people when they don't understand it.
1. "Once you do/get xyz, your life will be ruined"
2. Hating something they don't understand for no practical reason
3. Justifying the hate with something completely irrelevant
4. "The old way is obviously better"
So how better IS kernel 4.6 for skylake CPUs?

I have my 4790k at 4.7 running 1.29 volts.
Hey guys, I dont go on /g/, but I want to overclock my i5 3570K. What should be a decent clock to use that is stable? currently my temps are 30C btw.
pic unrelated
>>54627349
4790k here running at 4.6ghz @ 1.22v. no screenshot since on my phone. But I wrote it on the internet, it must be true.
>>54644433
>currently my temps are 30C btw
Idle temps dont mean dicks.
Load temp is all that matters, keep it under 70c if possible.
Can probably hit 4.2Ghz on 1.1 to 1.2v
>>54644461
my load temps never go beyond 50C then. Thanks for the info!
>>54633925
Can comfortably get to 4.6ghz at 1.238v here
Had 4.7 at 1.28v but after upgrading my ram and GPU it stopped being stable. Ran a bit hot too, 4.6 is my sweet spot.
>>54644116
Pick up a dual socket 1336 server/workstation. Very cheap now, power consumption is not as good as sandy but massively better than the previous generation, still hold up pretty well in terms of performance.
If you can find a supermicro they generally use mostly standard E-ATX so there is a decent chance you can fit it in a big tower case. Server 1336 usually uses different mounting holes to standard 1336 so you might have trouble finding CPU coolers; zip ties are your friend.
An HP Ml350 G6 is also a decent choice. If you don't fancy zip ties you are probably best going with one with dual processors as buying an extra HP heatsink can get expensive. Buy one with the shittiest 56xx Xeon you can; older ones are only compatible with 55xx Xeons which means you could never achieve 12 core 24 thread goodness. If it is sold with a 56xx then it'll definitely work.
Also ram/hdd is almost always cheaper to buy separately; ml360's take hilarious amounts with dual processors as they have 18 slots. Even with bargain bin 4GB ECC RDIMM's that's still 72GB. Pretty much everything that is dual Westmere Xeon will get you at least 12 slots though for dual processors.
>>54644482
If your cooling is decent, you should make 4.5 by 1.3v without it getting too hot on a half decent chip.
But as above, 4.2 is pretty damn easy; if you can't be bothered spending ages on an OC give it a bit more than you think it needs as long as its under 1.25v.
>>54644320
Then tell us your load, retard.
>>54643954
Yes. Otherwise I wouldn't have posted about what I have posted about.
>>54644391
man what the fuck kind of grammar was I thinking of there
>>54644745
Low? Why on earth would anyone ever need to be exactly specific?
If it's high, it's either because I intend it to be or something is broken/overworked - neither situation requires an absolutely exact 'real world load' for anything at all.
Is there really even a reason to upgrade?
LGA1366 best socket
Anyone know if there's going to be an sbc with a good processor, like the HelioX10, but also affordable?

Beautiful CPU. Upgraded from a Q6600. totally worth it.

You have one of the worst Core 2 Quads they made, go buy a 771 chip for $20 and you can double your Ghz
Have any of you delided your chip to fix the TIM?
>>54626159
Sitting pretty with my Penryn.
Programmers write shitty bloated code so we go out and buy processors to account for it, then they build even shittier bloated code, so we buy more, when will this end?

Current desktop is running an AMD 955 BE, while I've got a supermicro 1U dual X5650 server collecting dust.
Shall I re-purpose the server hardware as my "new" desktop?

Thinking about getting two x5660s and doing an LGA1366 build.
Should be good right?
>>54645876
I would buy the c6450 if it wasn't fucking 370usd.
That's like 430 aud, could build a gaming pc for that amount. Fuck that.

Ayy 3770k here too.
Only thing I don't like about it is the lack of VT-d support

I had an FX-55 up until a few years ago. God bless that single core
2500k reporting in, stable at 4.5Ghz / 1.264v

Is there any reason at all to upgrade?
My GPU died finally (GTX460) so I'm considering a 980 once the 1080 comes out and prices drop.
>>54646307
I had an Athlon XP 2400 until around 2010. It was a great processor.
>>54646326
Don't get the 980 if you're going kikevidia, get the 1070 since it's the same performance but less power draw.
