This shit is $100 dollarydoos. I'm about to pull the trigger for my brother's rig but I'm having second thoughts.
It seems like a good deal but I have a feeling that there's going to be a price drop on the devil's canyon run soon.
That's my cpu and I like it but its aging . that's cheap as fuck though

Its pretty good.
OC the fuck out of it. Even with stock cooler you can get a bit.
2500k from ebay would cost the same and have better single thread performance
>>51627031
But muh multicore performance faggot.
>>51627031
That's what I'm currently using now and it's been a trooper. Not sure why but buying a used CPU just does not sit well with me.
Thinking about just adding another 100 and getting the i5-4690K
>>51627121
but then again that's another 100 that could go towards a mobo
Id rather just make a new build for myself and he gets my 2500k/670 rig but this is more of an xmas thing so getting something second hand would be shitty
>>51626884
Just get it, nothing devil's canyon at 100 can touch it for mutli-threaded workloads
>>51627121
consumer-grade cpus last 15+ years
they're not like gpus where people can rape the lifespan of one by mining dogecoin
Wait for zen. It's confirmed for 2016. If it's good it'll be great, if it's bad then you'll at least have the novelty of owning the last x86 big core from amd.

It's a bad move, Piledriver cpus are absolute dog shit. Even i5s nearly match or beat them in multithreading.
>>51626884
It's a steal for $100.
At stock it rivals an i5.
Overclock it and you'll get amazing performance for the price.
