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.

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

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

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

Okay, I have myself a bit of a dilemma regarding upgrading the storage on my system. I bought a second-hand system from a friend with a brand new Be Quiet! 600w PSU, which made it a real bargain. The specs were/are: Core i7 3770, 16Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 980, 60Gb SSD and 2x 2Tb HDD. It's a pretty decent system, I'm happy with it. The weak link in the chain so to speak, is the motherboard. It's an Asus P8H61-MX R2.0. Don't get me wrong, it's actually very reliable, but it only had USB 2 and 4x SATA 300Mbps with no RAID. On the expansion slot side of things, it has one PCIe x16 3.0 and 2 PCIe x1 2.0. It only had 2 DIMM slots too, so 16Gb max I want more speed from the SSD side of things and as I see it I have two ways of doing it (Three ways if you count a new motherboard, but that seems overkill when these boards are really pricey right now!). 1: I get a PCIe SATA 600Mbps adapter and get a bigger SSD 2: I get the same adapter, but instead move some of the other drives to the adapter and get another 60Gb SSD and stripe them in Windows (I have checked, you can stripe a Windows 10 installation partition), but leave them connected to the onboard SATA ports. 3: I screw the whole thing and get another motherboard, which I'd rather not do as I have a Win 10 attached to the board. I'm tending to think that even at SATA 300Mbps, striping two SSDs with the on board controller would be the way to go, or there's a fourth option actually I could get TWO PCIe adapters and put an SSD on each one and stripe them. In my experience Windows software striping is actually pretty decent. Anyway, I'd be really grateful what you guys think.

Hi, I just recently built a budget gaming and workstation system using a z77 motherboard with an i5 2500 non k and 16GB ddr3 ram. However, later on I want to upgrade the CPU to something beefier to handle my workstation tasks more effiecently plus the games I play like having more than 4 threads and are somewhat CPU intensive. I really don't want to move to a new platform so I am looking at LGA 1155 CPUs, specifically the i7s and Xeons since my motherboard can use either. Should I get a i7 2600 non K, i7 2600k, Xeon E3 1240, i7 3770 non K, i7 3770k, or Xeon E3 1240v2? I'm trying to find the cheapest upgrade that will last me a long time.

cpu Sandy Bridge vs Ivy Bridge compatibility
hub_batch posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I found an i7 on craigslist for a decent price, and I'm thinking of picking it up. Right now I have some Intel desktop board that has a Sandy Bridge i3 in it, but it has the same socket as this i7(which is an Ivy Bridge). Can I use it in this board? (Speccy screenshot below for the board) -
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, but I've been watching the channel for a few years now. I recently picked up a bargain from a friend, a Core i7 3770, 16Gb RAM, 100Gb SSD, 2x2TB HDD, GTX 980. It runs games fantastically and coming from a dual Xeon E5450 system I'm very happy with it. The motherboard is an Asus P8H61-MX R2.0, whilst it has PCI-E 3.0 on the x16 slot, it only has SATA 3gbps and USB 2. It has two free PCI-E x1 slots. So my problem that I'm considering is this: Would it be cheaper to change out the motherboard for another second hand one with more features, or just add both a USB 3 card and a SATA 6gbps card in the PCI-E slots? Something that might be worth considering is the motherboard has Windows 10 Pro x64 licensed to it via digital entitlement. Any thoughts? Many thanks!

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?

So.... My girlfriend's computer has one of the aforementioned motherboards, an i5 3570k, and xfx 850w gold power supply. I bought it off of ebay a year ago, had no issues at all with it until recently. I even showed it lots of love, put it in a phantom full tower kitted out with noctua fans, recently delidded the CPU (a couple weeks before this incident), and I keep her computer super clean thanks to this "compu-clean" device I have that's like canned air on all sorts of steroids. I come home from work a few days ago and she says "I have really bad news, my computer crashed today and keeps restarting when I try to turn on". By the way, it crashed while she was browsing the internet.... not gaming or anything like its used for almost 24/7. It was getting error code 55, which points to ram, so I tested every possible configuration, even with different brands of ram I had lying around, and no matter what I did, slots a1 and a2 will not work, so no more dual channel mode My question is basically, how the hell can this happen? I mean I get pretty much anything is possible when it comes to electronics breaking, but I've built at least 20 different pcs for friends/family and a few strangers, and I have only seen 1 part fail, POWER SUPPLY, and that was ONE time. (While I'm thinking about it I even tried putting an 850w EVGA platinum power supply and it still had the same RAM problem) I'm a big believer in low temps and airflow for longevity, and this particular CPU never got above 55c after delid under load (and that was the hottest core, really never went above 50c). And its also the same ram that's been in the PC since day 1 (g.skill). Forgive my fragmented thoughts, and I get that this is more of me venting then a question, but if anyone could share any knowledge related to ram slots crapping out I would appreciate it, and if anyone has any suggestions to try and fix that would be really awesome, although I've tried everything from removing cmos battery, updating bios, booting with/without sata drives, with/wo vga card, etc. This will definitely be my first and last time with ASROCK, I already didn't like the bios, HATED the fan control (was like something from 2000....), and now this.... Link to mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157295 Update: I'm sure at least someone will ask for this: Voltage (under load) 1.35v clock speed (under load) 4.6ghz Bus speed: 100mhz (stock) Yes, I tried with nothing plugged into USB.

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.
