>>320420060
I had to look it up what you were referring to, and no, it's not that. I left the ending out as a way of expressing disappointment in your lack of knowledge.
i5 here. Currently rolling a 4440 not even overclocked
Here's my current speccy.
With the exception of Win10 fucking up with my HD60 capture device (which appears to have been patched now) I have to say, the i5, even in its intensive usages are very much worth it.
>>320420326

It's all over. This site is dead. The kids took over.

How far can I get with this CPU? The load temps are about 45 or so degrees celsius. Is 5 ghz easily attainable without huge voltage boosts?
>>320421768
>>320421963
It's not about being new. He could be here since 2010 for all we know but he is literally 15 and doesn't remember the show it's from.
I hate kids. I don't want them on my site for old losers in life.I hated that show too back in the day
What IS the best price/performance value CPU right now?
I need to replace mine.
>>320419889
Skylake non K processors can be overclocked by increasing the baseclock and core voltage. Still not as good an over clocker as the unlocked ones, but most people seem to have been able to push their i5 6400 from 2.7 to at least 4.0 Ghz. Which makes it a really good bang for your buck cpu.
>>320419597
i bought a 2500k like 4 years ago and it worked out really well. IDK how expensive they are now but i definitely feel like it was worth the money.
>>320422560
The older processors are definitely still usable and I would still probably be using my i5-3570k if my mobo didn't melt. The only real reason to transition to skylake for example is the newer connectors like pci-e and m.2 and higher numbers of sata 3.0 and ddr4 is cool but pointless since it literally doesn't make a difference in games.
>>320422379
pls
>>320421119
Hows the 750 TI? is it better bang for your buck than the 960?
What can you play with the 750?
worth replacing my 2500k with this? cant believe its been over 4 years since I got this cpu
>>320420326

No, you'll be fine for another 4 years unless you need to do video, photo or 3D rendering
>>320419597
>all the way up to 4.75ghz
Wow. That sounds a lot like a gimp to me since my i5 2500k currently overclocks to 4.9 ghz and I got a shit crystal.
>>320419597
The 3/4570(k) still is better when it comes to price-performance ratio.
The 6XXX series (Skylake, right?) is kinda overpriced.
Get the 4430 if you are more on a budget.
>>320419889
>>320420060
If this is some kind of collusion then well done.
COME AT ME
fite me 1v1, my OC > yours
Can't you just go look up CPU benchmarks and prices to work out the performance per unit money?
>>320426781
isn't 4.5ghz pretty standard
>>320424275
Not him, but 750ti has been THE budget card for the past couple years.
For starters, it's small. Second, it does not require external power connections, as it takes all its power from the PCI-E port. This means it runs well even on very weak PSUs.
Performance is quite impressive as well, with one of the earliest triumphs of the 750ti being the demonstration video this one guy posted on Youtube, where he ran GTA5 at 1080p, Very High -presets, and clocked steady 35fps on average. And the card was teamed up with mere Intel i3 + 4GB RAM.
And the best part? It costs 100$, sharp, at lowest!
Just notice that 750ti and 750 are two different card, with the Ti model being superior.
>>320426824
for your mom
ive yet to see anyone on /v/ have a decent overclock at all
only maybe 1-2, and then 1-2 with 4.6/4.7
and I could've gone high if I wanted, look at my vCore and how low it is, man
>>320426929
4.7 approaches "good" and then excellent would be 5.0 or so
i don't make the rules dude
my cooler is too shit for 4.5 but i can run at 4.4
kinda weird.
i had my vcore at 1.31 and was still bluescreening at 4.5.
So if I was making a pc over a significant period of time, say over 1 year, the last 2 components I should buy is the cpu and the graphic's card right? everything else stays basically the same.
>>320427110
for how low my vcore is, I wanted to keep it there for heat, since I didn't use a large heatsink or run water
I think you've failed to notice that I'm even under normal stock voltage
>>320420326
jesus, literally fuck off this site
>>320426835
Sadly i live in a shithole, the price of 750ti is almost the price of 950/60.
The "budget" card is a r7 260x
tl;dr It seems I lost the silicon lottery, badly.
i7 5930k @ 3.5GHz
H110i GTX
32gb DDR4-2133 @ 1.2v
2xSLI 980TI
Win 7
Overclocking;
4.3GHz @ 1.25v
2133MHz @ 1.2v
Seems to be my only true stable result.
4.5 and 4.4 both seemed stable even at 1.3v each respectively.
I could pass aida65 for 4+ hours each. OCCT VGX Linwell tests would pass for 1hour as well.
Temps would hit 80c but that's normal for stress testing. HyperPi would pass 32m just fine.
It was only when I played CS:GO would my computer either lock up completely or when changing maps on CS:GO the game would close and go to desktop with no errors or hard freeze.
Lowering it to 4.3GHz @ 1.2v is stable. Temps are only getting to 60.
Am I really unfortunate with the lottery or am I missing something?
>>320427328
i'm not sure how your overclock would scale if you were at 1.3v or so???
>>320427295
Mobo and CPU need to be compatible.
You should start with those and then add to that.
>>320422379
what your budget?
From the shitiest from best
Fx6300(If you is a very poorfag/lives in shit country), I3 haswell and for the last a I5 non K
For the next game to come in next years, a I5 will be good. If wants a K model, remember to buy a decent mobo + cpu fan
>>320427498
950 is shaping up to become the 750ti's successor, with some of the models similarly utilizing only the port's energy, yet providing a good 30% performance improvements.
>The "budget" card is a r7 260x
wouldn't personally touch anything THAT low even with a ten foot long stick. Especially if it's made by AMD to boot.
You'd be better off buying a couple years old, used GPU instead.
So yeah, let's re-phrase that: 750ti is the perfect budget-card for someone seriously considering playing modern games on his system.
>>320422379
i5 2500k.
>>320427612
yes but mobo's dont improve at the same rate cpu's do right? and newer cpu's are comparable with older MOBO's
>>320427565
I honestly haven't tried. I'd expect maybe 4.8.
>Overclock
>>320427874
I wanted buy a good used gpu but i dont trust. The reseller overclocked like a retard and are overpriced
>>320428062
>and newer cpu's are comparable with older MOBO's
AMD only. Intel changes their socket type practically every week so gl with that
>>320427804
I got a 6100 I bought because my old intel CPU fried itself and I didnt have cash for another one at the time.
This time around I am willing to pay like ~300€ for a CPU/mobo combo.
I got a 290x and I want something that suits it.
>>320422379
4690k
>>320428403
so the last components should be mobo, cpu and graphics card, the rest I can buy first over the months
>>320428202
>1.275
Enjoy that house fire
>>320428563
ram is dependent on the mobo and with the slow shift into ddr4 that is going to be an issue too
so basically add ram to that list
>>320427553
>4+ hours
nigger what are you doing?
You only need to test for 15 min max for gaming. Are you doing 3d art or tons of encoding?
>>320428653
thats not very high, RAM can operate at 1.25v
Who /underclock/ here?
>>320428848
>>320428958
Your voltage is still high
>>320428653
>not doing 1.3v
Get the fuck out of here nerd.
>>320428848
>>320428958
Why the fuck would you possibly underclock your personal computer?
i5 4460 is good right?
>>320427874
I will buy the 260x and saving money to gtx1xxx or the new amd vga.
>>320429097
So you don't waste energy and preserve your CPU. You don't need it running at 100% all the time, it'll get the power it needs when it needs it.
>tfw
>>320429087
I know. It was a shitpost.
>>320429097
1.3 is really pushing it with Haswell, it could really damage it
>>320429106
I have one without vga and can run wii/ps2 emulator at good speed on original resolution. If you have money gets a K one
>>320429265
Time to upgrade
>>320429159
Your loss. It's an embarrassingly shitty card with a total jew-tier price:performance ratio.
You really should not buy anything weaker than GTX 750 or 270X. Otherwise, you just waste money.
>>320429341
4690k it is then, only 15% more expensive here anyways
>>320429443
No shit. I'll probably get a 4690K while those are still available, I can get a CPU + mobo for a sensible price and reuse my current memory. Skylake is just unholy expensive for very little benefit over Haswell
>>320426781
Post CPUz faggot, also I wanna see it under load.
I'm doing 4.4GHz at 1.210v
goinf ast
>>320428729
No. I just want a 24/7 decent OC.
4 hours for stability testing during a stress test isnt a lot. I just did an overnight stress test to test for stability.

Not while emulating that's for sure.
>>320430195
Yeah, thing's a beast considering it's from 2009. Six years of active service isn't too bad
So a gtx 760 is better than gtx 950?
I can find a 760 at same price of 950

Benchmarking my processor gives a score almost on par with an i7-3770
Under max load my processor hits a whopping 56C
I have solar panels so that isn't an issue
>>320430375
It works fine while emulating.
>>320430145
Performance per module is low, so they have to run loads of them at a high frequency to compensate, generating loads of heat. Also the chipset is fucking ancient
>>320430492
care to tell us what are AMD CPUs' strengths? they seem to lose every benchmark to equivalent Intel CPUs

>>320430921
Multi core processing performance/value.
Of course since games barely use cores it's mostly irrelevant for the average shitter.
>>320431025
So and so. The i7 is still measurably faster in multicore tasks, though Haswell is superior in single core speed. Also for enthusiasts Skylake is the most useless upgrade in years, compared to Haswell the performance increase is fucking miniscule at best and actually manages to be SLOWER at worst
>>320431215
But new games sucks ass?
>>320431078
What a would a non-synthetic benchmark method be?
>>320431335
Okay, I feel better about it I guess. I just wish Intel didn't switch sockets every tick-tock cycle, I really liked my i7-2600k. Tough little bastard could get up to a 4.6GHz overclock with just a Hyper 212+.
>>320431215
I bet do you want him buy a I7 meme
help
As someone new to overclocking, I'm getting a 5930k, and should easily expect at least 4.0ghz push right?
I've got an aftermarket air cooler, so I'm guessing I shouldn't push much further than that or can it be done further based on how well mine is manufactured?
>>320431215
>buying an i7
Good job paying $90 more for 3% real-world performance increase in games.
>>320431289
that was true like 10 years ago, now software developpers are forced to optimize for multicores CPUs since they're everywhere now
hows an i5-4590 guys? compared to the op cpu and the common 4450
>>320432478
why not get an i5-6400?
>>320419597
But can it handle 4.97GHz like the 2500K on air cooling can?
>>320432745
because i didnt know it existed. and now that i do know it exists, because of this picture here

well fucking show me that its better than that. it has lower everything seemingly and costs the same on newegg and the benchmark says its worse and yet you want me to believe its better. show me it is. you showed me its better than a 4460, but my target is the 4590
>>320432291
Games are notoriously hard to parallelize. Sure they manage to get some of the load of some subsystems to other threads, but it's still poorly balanced and uses few cores.

You don't need more than an i3 unless you're doing CAD, video production or some serious work.
>>320421119
I should have rolled a 4590 to be honest. Will also be changing the 280x to an Arctic Island GPU next year. After nVidia keking me with the 560 Ti and the 670, never going green again.
>>320424275
It can play almost anything anywhere from medium to ultra settings at 1080p, depending on the game.
Skylake is bae.
Overclocks like a charm and runs cool too
who /4790k/ here?
>tfw I got a dope deal on amazon for it
>>320436980
a good i5 is good for gaming. But seriously, you don't need a god tier GPU if you're only playing CSGO and the Witcher. I only have a 4790k because I work in 3D a lot for work.
>>320441779

You'll be fine with the 4690k
>>320442491
Not fucked at all, should even be ok with a 6300.
>>320443378
Awesome. I've been making my build really gradually so I'm always thinking about the possibility that my parts that I bought earlier won't hold up. Waiting for Pascal to get a GPU tho, was going to get a 390 but then I found out that AMD GPU's don't get driver support so that'll be my last part
>>320442491
It's a fine CPU.
Overclock that sumbitch.
My 9370 is at 5.2ghz. I could go higher, but I would need to upgrade my watercooler. It does make my room nice and toasty, but living in a cold area I don't mind.
So, how is the I5-4460?
I will upgrade in a year or 2 to a I5-4790K or a I5-4690K when they drop in price.
>>320444723
Buy a budget GPU like a 750 ti and just save up for a 980, you'll be better off in the long run.
>>320446291
That's actually a pretty good idea, I'll be fine playing older games and emulating PSP and Gamecube until Pascal comes out anyway
>>320446291
This but get 750ti and wait for Pascal. Not super impressed with my 970 desu which isn't far off from a 980. Then again, I upgraded from a 4gb 770.
