Who is still running Sand Bridge?
Retarded people.

Me, and it runs just fine.

a lot
>>54743965
Even older, Nehalem master race
>>54744041
Do you live in Germany? Even then you would need to be running a server farm using Pentium 4 shit boxes 24/7 to have to complain about electricity costs
>>54744041
If I was worried about power consumption, I wouldn't be using a desktop let alone an unlocked CPU.
>>54744041
It really isn't
>>54744041
>B-but mom, if you buy me a Skylake processor, I'll pay you back in electricity bill savings over the next 50 years
>>54744036
This overclock likely sets it above a stock i5-6600. Nice job.
>sandy bridge
more like sandy vag
>>54744104
Nehelam here. I think the ram speed is lacking these days though, lack of sata3 hurts a bit as well.
>>54743987
The troll in him, made him say it.
>>54743965
Not there yet, but maybe someday
>>54744207
If you really need SATA3 just get a PCIe to SATA card. They're not very big or expensive.
>>54744296
Last PCIe slot is occupied by a usb3 card (mobo is mostly PCI . I still get the latency boosts from SSD so it's not like I really need it badly.
Upgraded to skylake last year and regret it. Haven't really done anything with my computer that my 2500k would have bottlenecked me.
>>54743965
I have a T520, I would have upgraded if Lenovo wouldnt have fucked their keyboards.
Its still a perfectly capable in todays world.
>>54744214
This is the only logical answer.
Riding my 3930k till the day it dies
Sandy bridge doesnt support usb 3.0 and PCIE 3.0
Any idea on the performance loss ? Does backward compatibiloty really help ? Genuinely curious here ?
>>54744327
Damn, that really sucks. But

must be nice.

>>54744526
USB 3.0 flash drives and pocket hard drives I have are immensely faster than older 2.0 ones I have.
IIRC, PCIE 3.0 is backwards compatible but dont even max out the bandwidth of older slots.
2500k reporting.
Regretted buying it at the time, but that thing will likely last me 10 years. I mean it's already 1/2 of that.
>>54744526
You are quite literally a fucking moron.
>>54744064
$10 a month is closer
>>54744654
Yea foreal, I dont know what that idiot is talking about?
nehalem desu
3930k
Still best CPU
>>54744654
Please tell me why ?
>>54744526
1155 sockets support USB 3. They also support PCIe 3.0 if you have an Ivy Bridge CPU installed.
>>54744207
>not LGA1366
>>54744934
Please kill yourself.
>>54744982
Then you definitly are a dumb fuck.
I wrote Sandy Bridge! Not 1155! I know ivy bridge support it. But sandy bridge 2500k/2600k doesnt natively do.

my T420 is sandy bridge
Desktop is Haswell-E
>>54743965
My media PC is running a Sandy Bridge i5-2500K.
My desktop is running an Ivy Bridge i7-3770K.
I'll probably upgrade both once Cannonlake is available.

Skylake is a meme. Not upgrading till those 8 core Zen cpus get released.
i5 2500k oc'd to 4.20 and 560 ti since 2011 and still going strong
i7-3960X reporting. Never even OC'd it.
I'm still using my 2500k and loving it. I've been planning to OC it soon but I'm rather tech illiterate so I might fuck it up.
>>54745770
there's a fuckload of guides out there to read up on it before you go fucking with stuff
load some up on your phone or laptop (or whatever you've got) before you start
>>54743965
How do they fit that giant chip into that tiny processor?

One day I will finish that phase change cooler, and will make it to 5.2Ghz even if I kill it.

noice, i'm all about big clocks senpai
Still rocking my i5-2500k @ 4.4
no urge to upgrade
still rocking a 670 gtx (oc'd)
slight urge to upgrade but still runs like a champ

My 2500k is still running strong.
