    Re: QOTW: Which CPU is inside your PC(s)?

    i7 875K. Been serving me well for the past 6 years.
    The CPU is more than enough, but the motherboard is the problem. especially the lack of compatibility with today's SSDs.

    Re: QOTW: Which CPU is inside your PC(s)?

    The PC I use mainly as a server I upgraded this year to an FX8320e - somewhat overkill, but I'm able to significantly undervolt it and still have loads of headroom to keep this going for another ~8 years as I did with the previous CPU.

    The PC I use mainly for games still has a Phenom II X3 710 (with a 30% OC to 3.4GHz). Has been fine for the all the games I have so far (the RX480 helps), so not in a hurry to upgrade.

    The laptop has a Core2Duo T5270 which only manages 1.4GHz - ok for simpler stuff, but struggles when let down by the barely functional integrated graphics (Intel 965GM). Would love to upgrade, but can't afford to yet, as it's difficult to find a modestly priced laptop which doesn't have a crappy 1366x768 screen.

    AMD FX-8320 on stock. Good price/performance ratio. High TDP but my Melstorm 120K liquid cooler keeps it cool silently.
    One trick is that it needs a 650W 1 12V rail PSU to have no "lags".

    Re: QOTW: Which CPU is inside your PC(s)?

    primary rig:
    i7 3930K @4.2GHZ
    back-up rig:
    i7 980 @4ghz

    Plan on upgrading after Zen/Skylake X Launch. Yet to hit a game I am bottlenecked by my CPU running 2 gtx 1080s on my primary rig and it is still very quick for all my other needs like video conversion/editing. Only reason I am upgrading is the age of my systems. It will become my back rig replacing an i7 980 that is several years old though still very capable.

    Re: QOTW: Which CPU is inside your PC(s)?

    5820K in my main rig. Ive had it for about a year and a half now, and it's been more than powerful enough for my uses, and should be so for another few years - it's overclocked to 4.4GHz right now, so it's the best of both worlds. I also have a Pentium G3258 OC'd to 4.2 in a LAN box which also does exactly what I need it to do. I've only had that one for about 6 months, and I have some big (small) plans for it.
