Posted August 12, 2017 Hey guys, i have a old rig that i built back in 2006.(if i remember correctly...) long story short: it was my main rig from high-school, trough college and university, a few years ago i build a LGA2011 workstation to replace it. the problem is that: My work contract required me to provide all my tools needed from my vehicle, tools, ... including my laptop and my workstation. So for the past 3 years, my good computer has been at the office. and i had to revert back to my old rig for home use. everyday at work i get to spend most of the day on a system that makes it enjoyable to work but when i get back home i have to stay content with my old computer. intriestingly enough, i still get to enjoy gaming on my old rig (if i have some time left, i'm busy trying to finish my engineering degree, managing my wife's company and working full-time as a project manager, i might just add starting another business...). Even tough, gaming will not be the same having tasted the i7-3970X in addition to using it regularly at work. So, i decided that i want to push my old E6750 on the ASUS P5K with it's maxed out 4GB of DDR2 Ram to it's limit. Historically i upgraded some components. Some by choice others by necessity. my old faithful BFG GTX 8800 died 3 days before warranty run out and the store where i got it give me a GTX460 in exchange even tough BFG went bankrupt. i added a ssd and changed my PSU (the old PSU had voltage fluctuations) i'm posting on this forum because i lack of troubleshooting expertise. i'm running in to some issues i can't seem to solve. The first one is: Intermittently: games freeze. i have to control-alt-delete open task manager and close it and it's all good again. other games just crash at that moment. (the GPU hangs in both cases) Rarely i get a BSOD but it still happens. i was suspecting my ram but oddly it might be my CPU. when i set a game on affinity core 0. it does not crash. if i change to core 1 it gets very glitchy/choppy I guess what i'm trying to say: i need to run a full diagnostic and i need a bit of guidance and some YouTube links with instructions. I never had to do any major troubleshooting before.The issues with this system started getting gradually worse and worse. After i get the diag done i would like to OC it to the max. i give my self a 200$ budget to spend on whatever i need to make this rig last another... 3 years? (i think it's reasonable?) i do have some spear parts laying around if need be to do swaps to test them... Anybody interested in helping me out? -Art DxDiag.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 12, 2017 Drop a Q6600 in there, $15US. That E6750 has one faulty core, it seems idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 12, 2017 Author i was contemplating the Q9650... they seem quite inexpensive used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 12, 2017 Yeah, what really brings the old 775 platform down is the lack of L3 cache. Q9650 is a good chip as well idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 12, 2017 Author i never took the time to look into the L3 cache importance. i'm wondering if i'm wasting my time trying to Frankenstein this thing back to life...

Posted August 12, 2017 If you can find one, QX chips should be even better (but quite rare). Also, you can upgrade RAM to 8GB (I have seen 4GB DDR2 with many many RAM modules on the stick), but they are just as rare CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1 Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync Desktop benching: Cinebench R15 Single thread:168 Multi-thread: 833 SuperPi (v1.5 from Techpowerup, PI value output) 16K: 0.100s 1M: 8.255s 32M: 7m 45.93s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 12, 2017 at best a socket 775 system will perform about the same as an entry level portable device today so you'll only get about that level of usage from it. web browsing / light modern games a bit / video watching. a maxed out 775 system can only do so much vs even a low end 1366 or 2011 system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 12, 2017 Yeah, you might as well go for a cheap used Haswell i5+mobo or bump up your budget and go for AMD Ryzen idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i will do is: run full diagnostics. i'm thinking start with testing CPU, then RAM, then ... i need some guidance. i imagine running prime95+ for testing the CPU and memtest for the RAM?
