What CPU(s) Are You Running in Your Build(s)?

Honestly I'm not 100% sure, there's that much bullshit flying around this forum and the rest of the net about it and I haven't bothered to do my own research. I suppose if you go off the cinebench scores, intel beats amd quite easily at that.

Problem is, most of the forum members are young and have never experienced the days when amd was king and absolutely smashed intel at everything, hopefully those days will return or at least, amd equals intel, we need them to push each other, at the moment, that's not happening. We need a billionaire to invest into amd's r&d department :P

Well obviously at that they definitely do. Idk, I've just been hearing/seeing benchmarks from people that show it does. When it came to the 3570k the 8350 definitely won. 

 

Well I wasn't around for that, but I definitely remember that lol. I've heard AMD is coming out with new FX CPU's in 2015 or 2016 unfortunately meaning Intel really isn't going to push themselves for awhile.

More than likely as I am new to it,  but it wasn't only the OC cpu that resulted in the error. 

 

Using the preset OC was a bad idea, which is why I will attempt to do it myself one day.

I'm a big fan of the 4670K, 4770K, and 4790K. I like the freedom of overclocking, even if I don;t set any records.
