Posted May 9, 2020 It's my first time posting in Linus Tech Tips forum. I had this account for a while, but this is my first time posting something so I'm sorry for any mistakes I make. Anyways my old ASRock B75M-GL R2.0 motherboard still refuses to die and I like pushing stuff to it's limits. After fast googling I found out that I7-3770 is a bit more powerful than my current xeon. Is there any sense in upgrading to the i7? I have a RTX 2060 and 16GB of DDR3 1600 RAM in this box of junk. The idea is to squeeze every little bit of performance my current motherboard allows. i7-3770k run through my mind at one point, but even if I manage to overclock it, the motherboard will just die I think, because it's half dead and some of the USB ports aren't working etc. "Should a machine not function upon striking the panel marked "on" this is an omen of great ill.

Posted May 9, 2020 No, it'll be a 2-3% performance gain. Save up for a Ryzen 5 3600 or 4600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save up for a Ryzen 5 3600 or 4600 See the problem with that is that I will need to get a new motherboard, a new set of RAM sticks. But I guess you are right, I should just wait for this motherboard to die and then upgrade. "Should a machine not function upon striking the panel marked "on" this is an omen of great ill.

Spending another million dollars on it wont get you much further Switching to a more modern platform will cost more yes, but you will see more improvement for every dollar spent Yeah, that's what I have been slowly realizing now "Should a machine not function upon striking the panel marked "on" this is an omen of great ill.
