These are the options for Ivy Bridge CPUs that I found: Intel Core i5-3570 (VT-d, but locked multiplier, no Hyper-Threading) Intel Core i5-3570K (unlocked multiplier, but no VT-d, no Hyper-Threading) Intel Core i7-3770 (VT-d, but locked multiplier, Hyper-Threading) Intel Core i7-3770K (unlocked multiplier, but no VT-d, Hyper-Threading) Intel Core i7-4820K (unlocked multiplier, VT-d, Hyper-Threading, misleading name) Intel Core i7 Extreme-4960X (Extreme Edition, unlocked multiplier, VT-d, 6 cores, Hyper-Threading, misleading name) I want to have both VT-d and an unlocked multiplier, but Intel makes you have to get on to the more expensive LGA 2011 platform to do that. Should I sacrafice VT-d or the unlocked multiplier, or should I just not compromise anything for my next build? As for if I will have Hyper-Threading, that'll depend on the first factor before I decide.

So I am building a cheap test bench to upload benchmark videos to my youtube channel is the RX 580 8GB ok for the tests? -
Hey all. Now this is a random one. I know I’m not going to get the best performance. This was purely to see if I could do a build for under £250 based around an RX580 I picked up for £100 of my £250 budget. my question is can my ASUS P67A-G45 motherboard have its bios flashed to take Intel gen4 Ivy Bridge or I’m in stuck on Gen3 any advice and best way to flash please help rob

My coworkers are using 3rd gen i3's for their workstation and some are interested in running a triple monitor. According to Intel's support pages, it should be possible. Is there a CPU/resolution limitation? For one of my coworkers, here's how I configured it: 2x DVI to DisplayPort on a 1280x1024 Dell monitor 1x VGA on 1920x1080 Lenovo monitor It doesn't seem to work, however. I extend to one display, and one of the montors stops working. I tried with Intel's Graphics Control Panel, and the 3rd monitor doesn't show. Pre-COVID, he was able to use triple monitor, but I can't recall if it was before using a Lenovo monitor with webcam or before I swapped his desktop (same 3rd gen i3+8GB RAM). Drivers are also up-to-date (which I made sure of last year when most are working from home). I now have another coworker who's interested in doing it with (not sure about the cable configuration): 2x 1920x1080 ASUS monitor 1x 1366x768 Dell monitor P.S. their interest came from me, I think. However, I got a Coffee Lake i7 + 32GB RAM with 3x 1080p.

Recently got my hands on a 3770K + Maximus V Formula (Z77, LGA1155) + a Celeron G1610. Lots of other stuff as well, but that's not relevant. The 3770K is delidded. Was run OCed long-term (3+ years) to 4,8 GHz according to the seller. No clue which voltages were used though. He told me to look through the BIOS for any saved profiles where I could find voltages - there were no saved profiles. According to the seller one day his 16GB DDR3 4x4GB 2133 MHz RAM kit was only detected as 8GB by the 3770K. He then bought the G1610 (cheapest compatible CPU) to see what failed, and it seems it was the CPU - all 16GB RAM were detected with that CPU. He then put the system aside for a longer time period, until I acquired it. I fired up the 3770K + 16GB DDR3 kit (CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R) + M5F board, and got a code 55 error - no RAM installed. Hit the clear CMOS/reset button a couple of times -still nothing. Used my 1080 Ti for video out, if that matters at all. I then fired up the G1610, first time I got a code 55, then I pressed the reset button, and it fired right up. All 16GB RAM were detected. I looked through the BIOS, and turned it off (no OS-containing disks were connected) I then put the 3770K back in, with another code 55 error. I then put the G1610 back in, and got a code 55 error again. My suspicions are that the 3770Ks memory controller has died from too much voltage - but the G1610 detecting, then not detecting RAM does bug me. So, any tips as to what I can try/do? Edit - the seller ram memtest86 with the RAM sticks the same day I acquired it (though he ran the RAM in 2x4 configurations, so he took the test 2 times). Quite sure he used the Celeron for this. https://imgur.com/a/iN1vYLk -
Just how much is your old computer holding you back? Do you really need a CPU upgrade? Or can you get away with spending less?

I was wondering if upgrading to Ryzen 3rd gen is still worth it now or whether I should wait for 4. I currently have an ivy bridge HTPC which has been running nonstop since October 2012 and it is in dire need of an upgrade. The computer freezes all the time, and becomes unresponsive (so unresponsive that a hard reset is the only way to get it back in "working conditions"). As a result I was thinking about upgrading my current 1st gen Ryzen system, to 3rd gen and transfer the hardware of my current system to my HTPC. If I were to upgrade, my HTPC hardware would be: Ryzen 7 1700 Asrock X370 Taichi 16GB RAM A new M.2 NVME SSD as boot drive I would most likely pass on my current GTX 1060 6gb as soon as I upgrade my GPU too. As for the system that I'll be upgrading to, those are the parts: Ryzen 3900x Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master 32GB RAM NZXT Kraken X73 (The NVME ssd and the HDD are for the HTPC) Should I hold off for now until the new generation is out or considering the current situation and the likely case that the 4th gen Ryzen family will be delayed, I should just upgrade now? EDIT: HTPC runs Plex and is used by my dad in another country and timezone with bad internet which is why the HTPC is on 24/7 (he usually uses it when I'm sleeping) and since he lowers the quality, the on-the-fly transcoding is more CPU heavy which is why I feel that the upgrade would be somewhat worth it

Hi, For the last couple of months, I've been noticing my CPU creating a bottleneck. I'm also to blame because I've been using the stock cooler and paste for all this time. Overclocking could help me, and my budget, until the right time for an upgrade arrives. My goal is reaching at least 4.4Ghz on an i5-3570K. I've got a motherboard and PSU capable of delivering this result, in theory, based on other experiences I've seen online. My case allows for up to 155mm or even 160mm height coolers, again, in theory(Can't find my PC case's specs online, as it's like a regular "office" micro ATX tower but I did measure it from the mobo to the side case). I've been looking at differrent coolers in the 20-30€ range. I'm gonna be listing some examples of the ones I like with the current best prices in my country: Arctic Freezer 33 27€ 6 year warranty Be Quiet! Pure Rock 31€ 3 year warranty DEEPCOOL Gammaxx 400 25€ 1 year warranty(It should be 2 by law, actually) I also took a look at some other coolers like the Mugen 5(44€), Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One(39€) and the 212x(29€) but I found that the listed above might have a better value for my case. I also have in mind getting the popular Arctic MX-4 thermal compound, as this is my first time getting a cooler; I'll keep advancing and trying out other options but I want to keep it simple and in budget for now. The thing is, I wonder how all of these would perform using the same thermal compound. For example, the Gammaxx 400 shows similar results to the Arctic Freezer 33, but the latter one is using a higher quality thermal compound by deafult(included) so how would a Gammaxx 400 perform with that same compound applied? Taking a look at some of the benchmarks by comparing the results thanks to the handy hardware.info comparison table, I compared similar coolers/models and also some other popular models to have a reference. Here you have more results from the same site. I've also been taking a look at @WoodenMarker 's CPU tier list for the last couple of months, which has helped me finding more options, so I appreciate that. Based on that list, the Gammaxx 400 might be the better option but I'm here to ask for advice! So thank you if you decide to take a couple of minutes to do so

For context, I am on ivy bridge. My setup as follows: i5-3570K (that I have not overclocked yet) 8GB DDR3 ram (that sometimes lags when I do a bit of coding and running emulators) GPU (non-existent right now) 750W seasonic gold power supply Samsung EVO 500GB SSD WD 500GB storage drive What would you guys do? I don't game that often and have been doing well with my integrated graphics recently. What's more, school's starting so there's going to be even lesser time for gaming, to the extent that I'm contemplating if I should even fork out the cash right now to get a new GPU, or if I should just hang tight and do a major upgrade after I graduate (2.5 years time). Thanks! -
I've been eyeing an upgrade from my current Xeon x3440 (nehalem) due to poor FSX performance. However, as I'm a cheapskates, I'm considering what is the best value I can get. I play CS, FSX, ETS2 and Insurgency and I like to stream a bit. Sandy bridge - e3 1230 for $55 + mobo Ivy bridge - e3 1230 v2 for $80 + Mobo Haswell - e3 1220 v3 for $65 I have a 1050 TI and play at 16x9 (Getting an Rx 470 and 1080 monitors) Is the e3 1230 much better than the x3440? And is hyperthreading worth it over the cheaper e3 1220 v3?

Hello, I'm currently using a 3570k @ 4.3ghz on an AsRock Extreme4 Z77 with a Noctua NH-U14S. My friend has a used 2600K that's he's willing to sell to me for £25, however I'm debating whether to swap my current CPU out with the older i7. I mostly play games, but I also use my PC for music production (with Studio One 3), running emulators such as Cemu and Yuzu, and occasionally video editing too. I'm happy to overclock and I'm not so worried about getting the absolute max out of my GTX 970 as I only have a 60hz 2560x1080 monitor. Is it worth swapping out my i5 for the older i7? I've heard the Sandy Bridge chips overclock really well, I can't get my 3570k past 4.3 without serious temp increases. Thanks very much for reading! EDIT: I should've made it clear that I don't have the money to upgrade my motherboard and RAM so am stuck on the Z77 platform for the forseeable future.

Do you guys think it's a good idea to upgrade from an i5 3570k to a ryzen 5 2600? I would be pairing it with a GTX 1080 and I mostly game and do school work. Also, would the Asus Strix B450-F be a good motherboard for it? Thanks!

Can anyone suggest me a budget board that supports Intel I5 or I7 3rd gen processors which must have 4 ram slots so that I can utilize all 32GB of ram compatibility mentions by Intel. And with 6Gbps port + USB 3.0 will is also preferable. Im in India and I do find some but sellers are not ready to ship here. If you think I'm stupid please ignore ?

I'd actually like to provide some quick context: My specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-3770k @ 4.20 GHz (85°c full load, 41°c idle) GPU: EVGA GTX 780 6GB SC Edition Memory: 16GB 4x4GB 2400MHz DDR3 Mobo: MSI GD-65 z77a Gaming I have been running stock everything for around 5-6 years now. I purchased all these parts new, back when they first released. I have not touched my system, never OCed, never installed aftermarket fans or anything. Basically, I wanted to upgrade my PC via overlocking (even if it is a small difference, I was bored and curious primarily), so I decided to delid my CPU, purchase a water cooler (Corsair h100i v2), and scrape off that old crumbling TIM. And that's just what I did (AND MORE!), I installed a h100i v2, delidded by CPU, resealed it, installed new case fans (3 instake, 2 passthough, 3 exhaust + 240mm rad with double 120mm exhaust), used liquid metal on both my CPU die, and my h100i v2 (I know not to use it on aluminum), and I boot and find.... my temps are not that good... at all. I overclocked to 4.20 GHz, and I idle at 41C and 85C during AIDA64 stress. I have no idea what I could have done wrong. Any ideas? Some more info: I used RTV silicon sealant on my cpu to reseal the IHS. I left the IHS under pressure of a clamp provided by rockitcool for 17 hours to let it cure and dry. Here is the thermal compound I used on my CPU die and IHS to heatsink contact: see here Oh, and something I still plan on doing is getting some thermal paste (non metal) and reapplying on my GPU die... since it's probably all dried up and crumbled away by now... EDIT: I know, I know, you don't even really need more than 3 fans ever, but it looks cool. Also, it appears that my CPU runs at 4.2GHz non-stop? Is this normal?

I have a Core-I5 3550@3.7Ghz (3.92Ghz Turbo), but according to most forums this is impossible as it is a non-K chip and my chipset technically doesn't support overclocking. But my MSI mobo on the H61 chipset has an overclocking tab and allows me to bump up the ratio(but not the voltage) on the cpu. Did people not know about this or was the wrong chipset put on this board? I'm really confused about this as no-one else has posted this scenario before (to my knowledge). P.S. Will post mobo model name, pics of bios, and pics of CPU-Z+AIDA64 once I get home. But for now you'll have to settle with the Intel product page.

just wondering how the older gens will be patched and if so, fully? what kind of losses could be expected, say, with my i7 4930K? -
Experiment: i have a ivy 3470 cpu and a asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1 what would happen if u but an ivy bridge into a lga1155 p67 chipset motherboard before you updated the BIOS to support ivy bridge so far there are no videos about this and a lack of forums who have the evidence too backup there claims. anyone who would be willing to find out would be contributing to the world -
As the title says I am looking for a nice but less expensive upgrade and I've already got an offer from a friend of mine. He has an unlocked i5 3rd gen and I am asking if it is worth upgrading to that from my actual 880k from AMD. I am also planning on going for the eight gen of CPUs but at the moment I do not have enough money and I will not have any until Q2 of 2018 year.

I got an i3-4150 cpu and a h97 mobo? Should i ditch this and buy a used i7 3770 and an itx mobo for $140+ or buy an i5 4690k for the same price?
-
Should i buy a used i7 3370 non k cpu and an itx ecs mobo for $160? Or maybe upgrade to ryzen which cost around $290 (ryzen 3 1200, msi b350 and a 8gb ddr4 stick) Note: I got a 4th gen i3 and the price here are really bad

Hi, so I have an Intel Core i7 3770k at 3.5GHz and I was wondering how long will it stay relevent for 1080p gaming until it goes the way of the core 2 quad CPUs? What do you guys estimate? I have it currently paired with a GTX 960 4GB and 16GB of ram. -
For wide array of reasons, I'm looking to move from my Corsair C70 to a Bitfenix Prodigy. I need something I can strap into my passenger seat and reasonably carry across a parking lot once a week. While I'm saving up to move to Ryzen later this year, I was looking to see if I could just grab a z77 ITX board, but all I see on ebay is a sea of non-overclockable parts. Is there somewhere better to find few-years-old components, or am I SOL for this summer? -
it is possible to oc my old i5-3337u that i have in my laptop? i got 8gb ram and my laptop is a dell inspiron 3421. i heard that intel disabled it but didn't they do that to the newer skylake and kabylake chips? here is some more information:
