  1. That's the cheapest way. Q6600 @ 3.0GHz is a pretty good pair with the 750 ti. No. You only need electrical tape for the BSEL mod.
  2. I never said that it would be better than the Ryzen 5 2600. I just said it's close to it in gaming. Maybe @Intelfreak could tell how his i7 980X works with the 1080 Ti? Or @asand1 who has a Xeon X5680 and a GTX 1080?
  3. 920? OP has a i7-960. But GPU upgrade definitely would make a bigger difference than the CPU. And he could always get a 6-core Xeon for as cheap as 25 USD. And he also said he would be playing at 1440p and at least IMO the GTX 1060 isn't the best card for 1440p.
  4. I found this from my bookmarks: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/9205829/fs/12924335# One on the right is my X5670 @ 4.2GHz and one on the left is my friend's PC. And here is some old comparison of my GTX 960 and my older GTX 660 on a Xeon W3550 (i7-950) @ stock: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/9306169/fs/7918174# I don't seem to have any newer results with a higher clock speed.
  5. Here is the only game benchmarks that I've run. But I have a really bad graphics card...
  6. He would still get a lot more fps with the i7-960 and GTX 1080 Ti than i7-8700K and GTX 1060.
  7. Why are you comparing it to the X5650? You should at least compare it to this one, but even that X5690 is running at a lot slower clock speed than the i7-8700K. And userbenchmark isn't the best benchmark for comparing CPUs. If you guys don't believe that the X58 are still pretty good for gaming, then go and ask here:
  8. X58 Xeons aren't too bad even when compared to a i7-8700K.
  9. About 130-140 in single core. But it's still pretty good for gaming. Here is a video from Tech YES City
  10. Yeah, but the price difference... He already have a LGA 1366 mobo and 6-core Xeon would cost something like 25-75 USD.
  11. Okay, you just proved you don't know anything about first gen i7's. CPU-Z benchmark on my X5670 @ 4.32GHz 6c/12t, of course multi thread would be slower on a i7 with 4c/8t but it still wouldn't be bad. And here is a video of my old i7-950 @ stock on a HP Z400. In cinebench that i7 is about on pair with a i5-6500 @ 3.2GHz in multicore
  12. Maybe you could try to reinstall Windows? It really shouldn't be maxing out 1 core in Heaven Benchmark or games. Edit: I just tried Heaven Benchmark with extreme preset on my Xeon X5670 + GTX 960 And CPU usage looks like that even though I have a lot of crap open on background.
  13. Probably something to do with Windows. I wouldn't recommend upgrading to a Xeon X5560 because it only has 4c/8t. Some 6c/12t Xeon like X5660, X5670, X5675 etc. would be a lot better upgrade.
  14. Maybe he could get the GTX 1080 Ti and upgrade the CPU to a Xeon X5675 or similar 6-core Xeon and overclock to 4.2GHz or higher
  15. I'd recommend upgrading to a Xeon X5675 (or some other similar 6-core Xeon) and overclocking it to 4.2+GHz Cinebench R15 on my Xeon X5670 @ 4.44GHz: CPU-Z benchmark @ 4.32GHz vs Ryzen 5 1600
  16. Of course the g41 chipset supports the Q6600 but some OEM boards doesn't work with high TDP CPUs. I've put a Q6600 on a Q45 chipset (hp dc7900 sff) which doesn't officially support any Q6000 series CPUs but it works just fine. But I've heard that some people have had problems with similar OEM PCs crashing under load or not booting at all.
  17. It doesn't seem to support the Q6600 (105W ). Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades: Core 2 Quad Q8xx0/Q9xx0 (Yorkfield core) (95W) Core 2 Duo E8xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W) Core 2 Duo E7xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W) Pentium Dual Core E5xx0 (Wolfdale core) (65W) Celeron Dual Core E1xx0 (Conroe core) (65W) Celeron 4xx series (Conroe core) (35W) https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01903990 Edit: I'm slow
  18. There was only Note 7 between Note 5 and 8. And if you don't remember, Note 7 was this one: What's your budget for the phone? And you probably want 5.5" 16:9 screen? those new 18.5:9 etc. screens have a lot smaller screen area than "same size" 16:9 screens.
  19. Have you tried it with all original parts and with only single ram stick at the time and are you sure all the other parts work? Really weird that it doesn't even beep, I have two HP 400's and both always beep the error codes if GPU, ram or something else doesn't work or isn't connected. And by the "Delta 450 oem psu" you mean the original 475W Delta PSU? If its some other Delta PSU it could have killed the mobo or something. Edit: Does the mobos have 6 or 4 dimm slots? The older 1 Gen. Z400 (4 dimm slots) doesn't support 6 core CPUs
