Worried about my CPU

[Francesco Vignera]

Hi everyone,

 

I’m Francesco, 20 years old and I’m from Italy.

Basically I built my self a PC in late 2015/16.

For that period I didn’t have a lot of money cause I was keep on study for school.

My dad’s bought me one from one of his IT store friend and he asked me for the average usage of the PC, such as Gaming and studying obviously.

The PC was:

ASUS H110-M 
i5 6600 3.3GHz (stock cooler)

16 GB Kingstone DDR4 2133 MHz

ASUS GTX 960 TURBO 4 GB

250 GB SSD

1 TB HDD

TP-LINK Wi-Fi Card
730 THERMALTAKE SE PLUS

 

The PC now is a little different, by this I mean same processor, same ram, same SSD and HDD and same PSU.

I recently bought a new GPU (2070 Super form Gygabite) and I have a question obviously.

Is it worth buying a new hardware for Gaming? IDK I mean before I was using a GTX 1660 6 GB, on COD’s multiplayer I was doing great, but I want more, cause Warzone doesn’t run as great as the multiplayer does.

Do you guys have any suggestion, should I stay with my hardware?

You should upgrade your CPU, get something with 6 cores. Your current CPU would bottleneck a 2070 Super.

With that CPU there's absulutely no difference between a GTX 1660 and an RTX 2070. In fact, even the 1660 didn't outperform the 960 by a lot in some games.

The i5 6600 with its 4 cores is a huge bottleneck, especially for 1080p or lower, but it also bottlenecks on 1440p.

 

You need a platform upgrade. Some modern CPU and motherboard. That would probably double your framerate and eliminate the stutters you have (especially those that happen when someone starts shooting at you).

While that would be ideal, unless he is wanting to swap out the mother board, Intel doesn't have anything that I can find in that CPU generation that has 6 cores. I was running the Gigabyte GA-Z170mx-Gaming 5 motherboard and the Intel Core-i5 6600k. I got a really good deal from micro center, and upgraded to an Asrock B450m Pro, Like the one Anthony features here:

 

I used the AMD Ryzen 3700x with my B450m PRO build though. I WILL SAY THIS: download bios 3.90 first, and then flash it. If not, even though my board game with bios 3.40 to support Ryzen 3000 series, I had multiple boot issues. New bios took care of it.

I would suggest if you aren't a diehard Intel fan, grab yourself a ryzen 3600, and a b450 motherboard, and just double check your ram compatibility, and get to gaming.

i5 6600 is not lacking there a lot also

i5 6600 is 4c/4t while 6700k is 4c/8t. 6700k is still decent and will not really bottleneck rtx 2070 super. but i5 6600 has twice less threads (4t) whixh is really bad in 2020. simple cpu upgrade to r5 3600 will get a good performance boost and will be good for gpu upgrades.

I know whats i5 6600 am just saying it will newer Botleneck 2070 still is usable CPU. And no need to be another AMD fan boy overnight.

you here seem like Intel fanboy. yes i5 6600 is usable but is is not good fro 1080p with 2070 super. you could get much more performance with r5 3600 and  rtx 2070 super

Using AMD from 1997 until 2006 newer again only if intle stop making CPUs or if new CPU company shows up.

why? so you want overpriced room heaters?

Yes I want atleast it work for the years and money

ryzen 7 3700x will last much loner that that i7 9700k with only 8t

ill stop here you are comparing older CPU with new ones, as I sad AMD newer again I will buy even china CPU adn not AMD ever again. But am glad AMD finally made compeditive CPU, so so I can get Intel CPU cheaper

Just because you had a bad experience with AMD doesn't mean everything they make is bad or will be bad. If you want bad, try the Cyrix MMX II cpu. Those things melt down.

Anyway, 3700x vs a 9700k doesn't matter. 6600k vs anything newer than that, and the newer cpu will beat it. The point is whether the New CPU will last a long time or not. My 6600k was still going when it was pulled from service. I needed something with more cores and threads for what I do. So for the OP's situation, I would say it really depends on what he's doing, if anything, besides games. If he does AMD, I personally, would recommend either a kick a$$ air cooler or a liquid cooling solution.

There is no point in any of us having a P*ssing mach over the cpus. if' he's just playing games and price isn't an object, I'd say get the Intel 9900ks. If he's wanting to play games, but wants to save some money, and still be able to multi-task, get the AMD Ryzen 3600. If he wants to stream and game, get the AMD 3700X or 3900X. or one of the more expensive CPU's from Intel. AMD is jumping back in the game and there are a lot of doubters that are not going to cut AMD any slack for a while. I understand that, but I also understand that value is something that has to be considered as well.

Hi Guys,

 

that’s me again of course.

I’ve some news about my pc going on this weeks, suck like my new GPU a 2070 SUPER form Gygabyte and an upcoming i5 9600k, that should be good for gaming at least at 120 FPS on Warzone.

Anyway I’m done for this month cause I have no money left, and I’ll stand with the same mobo as before with that 16 GB of DDR4 2133MHz.

I’m once again worried about this solution, would please guys help me.

 

thanks a lot one more time

 

Francesco
