>>55519617
Reporting it. Had this since 2011, only thing i've replaced is the GPU (6970 > 980). Windows 10 has much better CPU utilisation than Windows 7 for anyone still using the 2500k.
Most likely gonna replace the entire build in 2018 with cannonlake/HBM2 gpu/1440p freesync/gsync monitor. Hopefully that will last as long as the 2500k build did.

What do you guys of thinking upgrading to a 4790k from 2320
it'll be a whole new build. Feels like its getting sluggish but i think its the harddrive.

My Q6600 cant compete anymore in 2016
Gonna replace it with i5 6600
I realize that i5/i7-ANYTHING is fast enough and I'm so happy that computers work as well as they do today versus how life was when I was computing back in 1999 on an absolute PIECE OF SHIT Pentium 2 desktop that was slow as fuck, but I really feel like there is room for improvement. I can feel it.
I still feel delays in every action. When you load any website, even the smallest websites and ones with the most direct pipes through your ISP (like Google.com), there is still a momentary delay before the page loads on your screen. I don't think that is a CPU problem, more of a statement on technology as a whole, but even when I do something as simple as opening a folder on my computer, there is a microscopic bit of delay that I cannot say is "instantaneous."
I feel like the computers of 2025 are going to nail down that speed issue I see and if you ever go back to using a computer of 2016 you will feel the difference.
>>55522176
Yeah, I had to replace mine earlier this year, was just getting too slow.
>>55522004
The 5820k was only $290 at microcenter, otherwise i'd have probably gotten the 6600k or 6700k.
>>55522222

>>55521662
You know "3D Xpoint" is just a meme buzzword (buzzphrase?) right?
It's literally just PCM storage, which is where 99.99% of its performance claims come from, the crossbar to change bits in the middle is just a gimmick that has next to no real world performance benefits, outside of select applications that are damn-near impractical considering the cost of the crossbar implementation during manufacturing.
But mercy forbid you people here at /g/ even do the slightest bit of research instead of just retching up whatever shit intel, AMD or nVidida shit down your collective throats, because that'd be goddamned PRACTICAL, and who has the time for that shit?

Yeaaah buddy, I haven't even overclocked mine and I honestly see no point in upgrading yet.
Might replace the 760 with a 480 but eh, not sold on it yet. Definitely replacing my three conventional HDD's with one 1TB SSD. I've only got like 400 GB used in storage, don't need this much space anymore.
>>55522437
>e2160
That's probably okay if you don't like video games or really anything too intensive at all.
I build a PC back in 2008 and used a e2180 and Geforce 7300gt and very distinctly remember being at like 70% cpu load whenever watching high quality x264 1080p video and could only play Oblivion at 20fps (40fps if I toggled off grass).
that e21** line of dual-core chips were pretty good for their price though. Think I only spent like $70 on mine back then.
>>55521682
Yeah singlethread kind of sucks, but it's still good enough for my purposes.
90% chance that my next build will be Intel.
>>55522490

If you want a significant upgrade on the cheap, go on amazon and buy a used Core2Duo E8400 for $10.
It'll blow your meager E2160/E2180's out of the water. It's compatible with your guys' motherboards. I made that very upgrade years ago and it was huge.
However, since last year I bought a new (used) machine entirely. Today, my i5 2500 machine is significantly greater (leaps and bounds) than my C2D E8400 machine.
>>55522593
well, I thought about buying a QX6700 off ebay
>>55522593
well I upgraded to memelake already because the e2160 died after 9 years of running it at 80%OC with a stock cooler
Upgrading from an i7 2860QM to a 6700k next month, should be good.
>>55519854
Step up, sempai.
>Have i7 3770K
>Will probably use hella long time
Don't delude yourself. Unless all you do is gayme, there's a good reason to upgrade in terms of performance, storage options, memory, etc. It took them way too long, but Skylake is 20% faster.
I'm not upgrading from a 3570k anytime soon. The 5820k looks nice, but I'd rather wait for Zen for more cores.
How much better at multitasking is the newest i5/i7 offerings versus an old i5 2500k?
Like, you don't get many more frames per second when video games or video editing, but if I wanted to video game AND video edit at the same time, I'm sure the newer chip is better at handling that.
>>55522674
Sheeeit
Unlocked?
>>55522760
for that you want more cores if possible. Because the way a CPU core handles requests it'd be better to run your game on cores 0-4 and then your encoding or whatever on cores 5-7 or however many other cores you have.

>>55525588

then you've not looked at very many benchmarks or you're looking at very specific benchmarks and ignoring all others.
>>55525588
>All the benchmarks I've seen show it to be worse than DDR3, if just by a little!
Depends on the speed. DDR3 officially maxes out at 2133MT and 2400MT is possible through XMP, which is out of spec. DDR4, on the other hand, maxes out at 3200MT IIRC. That's a considerable bump, 33% more bandwidth.

>>55525730
yeah, but how about the latency? doesn't it increase as well? i think ddr4 still has a long way to go.
>>55526178
No, actual latency is a function of the frequency and the timings. Just because DDR4 has worse timings doesn't mean latency is higher, the frequency of DDR4 more than makes up for the increased timings.
I currently run quad channel 4x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 2N with a 5820k.
I get memory read speeds around 54Gb/s try getting that with DDR3. And latency is just as low as DDR3 as well pic related, AIDA64 memory latency test.
>>55525860
How noticeable is the difference between stock and OC for it?
I've had mine for years but seen no reason to OC at all, but might try it soon.
>>55519617
Got mine in early 2012, after bad bin issues were resolved. Never overclocked, it's so fast that I never needed to, even in 2016. I'll keep it probably until 2020.

>>55526515
Take the clock speed of the OCed chip, then take away the reference clock speed. Now, divide the result from your previous equation by the reference clock speed and multiply your result by one hundred. You now have the percentage improvement. In the case mentioned by the other anon it's almost 19% faster, or almost one fifth faster.

maybe update your ram and get a monitor while you're at it
Your processor supports 1066/1333/1600, and they're cheap now, so you have no reason not to.
What's your budget for gpu? Keep in mind that if you're playing with lg tv @ 1080p you're not gonna need high end gpu, honestly. You'd probably be mighty fine with a rx480
>>55526860
>Your processor supports 1066/1333/1600, and they're cheap now, so you have no reason not to.
Speccy reports DDR speeds at half their actual speed (DDR means DOUBLE data rate). So 667*2 is 1333MHz. At most he could upgrade to DDR3 1600MHz which would report as 800MHz in speccy.
>>55522176

what >>55526899 said about the ram, as for the tv well it's a 52" for lounge-room gaming, and seeing as 4k is almost totally bullshit and VR is still in it's infancy ill stick with just upgrading the GPU for now.
Should I replace my i7 now, or wait until Ice/Tigerlake?
>>55527050
>Why speccy does this? Sounds like a bad thing to have in a computer hardware specification program.
Because none of those figures mentioned by those anons is correct. The memory clock of that memory is 166.67MHz. The I/O bus clock is 666.67MHz. The data rate is 1333.33 MT/s. Manufacturers like higher numbers so the megatransfers per second is what they show you. Then idiots like >>55526899 come along and slap MHz at the end, thinking they're clever.
>>55526224
Wait is it better to use 4 sticks of 4gb ddr4 ram to get 16gb or just 2 sticks of 8gb ram to get 16gb?
>>55526860
>You'd probably be mighty fine with a rx480
If he wants his motherboard to catch on fire sure.
>>55527483
It would depend if your motherboard and chipset are dual channel or quad channel. If quad channel (x99) then get 4x4GB. If you're on a dual channel chipset then you'd want 2x8GB.
>>55527537
I got an i7 6700k, Asus Z170-A, and 2x8gb 3200 ram, how badly did I fuck up?
>>55527644
Unless you do memory intensive stuff or play the one bandwidth starved game in existence (fallout 4) then you probably won't notice.
>>55527644
Should be fine, you're dual channel, so getting 4x4GB would limit you to only 8GB addressable by any single application, whereas with 2x8GB you can access all 16GB at once (if needed).
>>55527733
>so getting 4x4GB would limit you to only 8GB addressable by any single application
What the fuck where do you get this shit?
>>55527778
not that guy but from what i understand about memory channels/controllers.. it makes sense
>>55519617
4670k
fight me
I have a 3770 which I got for free, but I can't find a motherboard for it. There's just one H61 model available that takes forever to ship. Nothing used locally, everything is priced beyond reason. I'd like to have a motherboard for it and then sell it.
>>55524029
>>55523989
If it acts like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Of course they'll swear up and down that it isn't PCM, because that way they can charge a nice premium, but Micron, they guys who ACTUALLY worked on their "totes not PCM guise" storage solution knows otherwise but have also been told to keep their collective traps shut.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/04/15/intel_xpoint_emperor_has_no_clothes/
spoiler alert: it's a fucking duck.
Don't believe everything the PR department cooks up, they aren't doing anything revolutionary or spectacular, PCM is going to happen and everyone who has invested in it is going to have all the performance and endurance that Intel keeps vaunting about, without the brand tax.
>>55528416
It's one memory controller. It's all addressable. I don't care if you think it makes sense, it's not the case.
>>55519617
I'll be fine with my 4690k for years too, thanks
>>55520424
yeah boi
who /4690k/ here?
Oh, and 3-bits per cell completely negates any technical "advantage" the PCM crossbar stuff Micron/Intel is touting, essentially rendering it useless. (Because you don't have to explicitly write software to take advantage of 3-bits per cell PCM, unlike xpoint, which just runs like a regular PCM device unless you explicitly code to use the crossbar to change bits, to very LIMITED application)

damn op, feels good to be a gangsta
Convince me to upgrade to Kaby Lake / Zen.
3700K + HD7970 here, still going strong. I didn't think it was possible to feel good about hardware purchases for so long, feels gudman.
>>55529129
*3770K of course.

I've been using my Extreme4 since Jan2013 and it's still holding up. 3770k @4.2 is p comfy.

Although my cpu is a 3570k

You have your OS and browser on an SSD, right?
They all laughed when I bought the 6600k, well who's laughing now?

THE PERFORMANCE OF A DAMP RAG

How long will a 4670k last me?

Youre the retard for being here for the past 9 years.
>>55522176
>>55522176
>>55519617
>>55519664
And then there are idiots who complain about Intel changing up sockets all the time.
Why the fuck would I care if I kept the same CPU for five years? I'm not going to want to stick to that half decade old mobo when it comes time to upgrade.
>>55529519
THE FACES MELTING WHEN I OVERCLOCK
>>55528798
Only quasi-cardassian totalitarians own those
>that means you
>>55529519
Seriously, how stupid am I for not throwing in an extra $100?
First build so I didn't want to go "all in."
In all likelihood I'll get a 480 and haven't decided on a 1080 or 1440 screen yet. Some part of me wants to wait and see the 490 though.
Feel free to tell me how and why I am retarded.
>>55519664
>enhanced virus protection
>>55519854
What's wrong with it?
>>55519851
I have a meager Phenom II X4 945
What Intel should I upgrade to senpai?
I want to get Devil's Canyon for the name alone and because intel gens are practically all the same
Or is Zen actually gonna be good?
>>55529971
Kaby Lake because native USB 3.1
>>55531025
>latest intel
Fuck that, it's gonna be so god damn expensive
>>55529971
>Or is Zen actually gonna be good?
it's a coin toss at this point. by my maths it's going to be around sandy bridge ipc if the 40% over excavator holds true.
>>55531070
Well if it's a lot cheaper that's not so bad.
It's a crime how expensive even older Intel gens are
>>55531051
Wha? the i5's go for sub-200$
>>55531090
it's not really a crime, they kept most of their value because their performance didn't really depreciate due to how stagnant the market has been.
>>55531097
Fucking where? I'm looking at Haswells that are still above $250
>>55531126
Newegg, skylake
>>55531126
I got my 5820k for $290.
Dem microcenter instore sales.

this.
see also GPUs. 780ti is still the world's favorite card.
moore's law really fucked us for the last few years, hopefully the breakthroughs we're seeing advertised today (vega...) will catch back up.

Just get used/refurbished CPUs senpai
Sub-$100
As long as it hasn't been overclocked to hell then it will probably last just fine
>>55531186
> not skylake
>>55531204
Why would Skylake be cheaper?
That makes no fucking sense
>>55531229
Because they're actually in stock dingus. the lower supply gets the more prices get automatically cranked up, amazon pulls the same bs
>>55531229
What is supply and demand.

>>55531255
>>55531261
It's not looking very sub $200 to me
>>55526760
Cheap as fuck and great performance but god damn if I can't source a X79 board for less than $250.
>>55531294
selective cropping, also again, here is the msrp list http://ark.intel.com/products/family/88393/6th-Generation-Intel-Core-i5-Processors#@Desktop
>>55531310
The only ones sub $200 are also sub 3.0GHz. Fuck that. Why would I downgrade?
>>55531328
TIL 3.2GHz is <3.0GHz
http://ark.intel.com/products/88184/Intel-Core-i5-6500-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz
also double the perf http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/611/AMD_Phenom_II_X4_945_(125W)_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6500.html
and I had said wait for kaby lake. Skylake was an example that latest Intel CPUs were not that costly
>>55531294
I got my 6600k for around $220, kind of wishing I'd went for the 6700k for $315 though. I want to be able to say five years from now that I have not had to upgrade.
>>55531425
I went 6500 to get the initial build done, later I am going to get a E3-1280 unless they release 1151 Kaby Lake Xeons.
>>55531453
I don't know a thing about these Xeons besides them having more cores. I'm just doing gayming though so I won't need more than 4 until next upgrade. I hear the Xeon mobos are pricey too
>>55531485
Most consumer grade mobos can handle them.
>>55531485
>I don't know a thing about these Xeons besides them having more cores.
i3/i5/i7: comes with integrated graphics, does not support ECC RAM
xeon: does not come with integrated graphics, supports ECC RAM
if they're from the same product generation (core name) they are otherwise the same product.
>>55531485
Basically Xeons get you i7 power for i5 price
It does this by eliminating things such as the iGPU that you would not need having a dedicated GPU
>>55531499
Most gamers aren't buying X99 boards they're getting Z97 Mtnd3w edition
>>55531512
This would be useful if we were talking about something other than gaming. Xeons can't OC and except for the most expensive don't come at speeds near i5/i7
