Sandybridge 2600k

[Col]

It has to be the best chip ever made ?

 

You can turn your cpu fan off in bios if you have a decent heatsink for 20c ish idle

 

50c max at 4.4  running any task or game  pretty amazing chip

 

Why did intel screw up with Ivy and Haswell  to make them run hot ?

Sandy as a whole was great. my 2500k is still beasting it out

Because after sandy intel cheaped out on connecting the IHS to the CPU with cheap paste instead of soldering it on. I love my sandy and wouldn't easily trade it out.

Basically story of Sandy -> Ivy -> Haswell illustrates how horrible a lack of competition can be.

 

AMD needs to step up, but they don't care about it anymore... So... Intel basically can do whatever they want and we have no choice but to suck it up...

Not really you could just stick with Sandy or see the benefit in an FX 8350 which is made to compete with a 4670k

No the 3930k is 2700k, 2600k, 2550k and then 2500k. They run really cool and overclock like a beast. They are not much fun to oc, but they are fast.

While I can't speak for everyone else, I had much fun squeezing out the tiny last bit out of this good chip..with this cooler.

 

Original Hyper212 (not the plus)  in Push/Pull - Not the most efficient cooler at the top end... yet 5.1ghz /w HT off & 4.93ghz with HT. CPU cooler needs mwoar balls as I know there is still a ways to go.

Have had this 2600k under the Hyper212 for years now, an AIO cooler in push pull should do it some more justice also, which is on the cards now as I've got my R9-290 finally here and sorted.

 

Gotta love dem sandy's!

They were run stupidly cool, my 2550k@5.25ghz cant get over 72c under full load and ive only got a matterhorn cooling it.
