QOTW: Which CPU are you using?

[deadstoned]

Ryzen 1600, but considering a new Zen 2 CPU depending on how many cores and the IPC difference. I do a lot of file compression these days.

5820k @ 4.5 because nothing out there is a huge upgrade

[Korrorra]

Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.5 GHz. The new uefi/bios updates have lowered my overall overclock to 3.7. Any higher and the CPU overheats with the wraith spire and becomes unstable depending on how low the vcore goes.
I am also waiting for Ryzen 3000 series. See the overclocks/temps on that. I am also thinking about if it would be better to wait till 2020 for a new AMD motherboard socket and CPU updates.

The wife's pc is running an i9-7940X.
My pc is running an i7-6900K.
Both are fully custom watercooled.

No interest in upgrading either at the moment.

2950X. Zen2 Threadrpr Plz...

[andrewuk]

5960X @ 4.2Ghz so mild overclock for this CPU. Used for video editing and gaming which it handles with ease. May at some point go to threadripper but waiting to see what the gen3 chips are like if/when they are revealed!

edit: just noticed my sig is way out of date, I'll have to update it at some point

I'm still using the i7-4790K which will probably be my last, I reckon it'll be a Laptop next I upgrade.

[DemonHighwayman]

i7 4790k, I'm waiting to see how zen 2 turns out before I upgrade.

[blokeinkent]

9700K.

Purely based on benchmarks in games, the difference to the 9900K in games I play wasn't worth the extra money, plus the consideration of the extra heat I'd need to contend with also played a factor in my decision (limited space in my case, didn't want to change the case).

I've just gone from a Core i7 6700K to a Core i7 9700KF. Looked at the 9900 but for the same reasons as above couldn't see enough difference to warrant the 9900. Also went for an F as have don't use onbaord graphics. The jury is still out on lack of Hyper-threading though.

It's been long journey from my 1st Pentium 60, and gone through plenty of AMD chips and even the odd Cyrix at one point, but always seem to end up back with Intel.

Ryzen 1600 back at stock settings as overclocking wasnt making much differnece in the games I play. Lookig forward to see what the Ryzen 3 series brings to the table and will most likely buy one of them with more cores to replace by 1600.

[Stuen4y]

i7 3770k@4.5GHz but thinking about Ryzen 2 due to all the security flaws of old Intels and no the total lack of will from them or motherboard manufacturers to patch them.

[SHSPVR]

Intel i5 3570k

[ik9000]

i7 3770k@4.5GHz but thinking about Ryzen 2 due to all the security flaws of old Intels and no the total lack of will from them or motherboard manufacturers to patch them.

i7-870 so yes, I know all about not getting the patches despite intel having released the code fixes!

[Euphonium]

Main PC - i7-3770k@4.2GHz (stock voltage) It does pretty much everything I want it to gaming-wise but I'm feeling about ready to upgrade to more cores for video encoding. I'll almost certainly go AMD this time, Ryzen looks much better value for money as well as having fewer security flaws.

HTPC - i7-4770S. I know it's overkill but I also farm some video encoding over to it.

Office PC - i3-4330. This is my Win10 testbed. It holds up pretty well for general use. An SSD would benefit it more than a better CPU

[EvilCycle]

I7 7700k OC to 4.8Ghz used for mostly gaming - I don't plan on changing it any time soon, however the sudden jump in mainstream core count since this gen of CPU does have me feeling a little itchy, I will wait and see how game development moves once the new consoles come out and then maybe in a year or two I will pull the trigger again, but for now it's fine.
