is lga 1150 outdated?

[DominicNikon]

is my i5 4670k out dated now because of skylake cpus? or is it still good for now

[Interfectorem]

No, it's still a good CPU

[Weak1ings]

Nope.  Unless you are using Integrated graphics.

[LIGISTX]

LOL, you are fine..

[Ostwind]

new hardware coming out doesn't magically make the last generation outdated age makes it outdated, example: Sandy Bridge

[Guest]

u gud homie

 

(don't judge me, sometimes i like to chilax on the grammar)

[o0Martin]

Why would it become outdated?

 

All it means if next time you upgrade your CPU chances are you'll want to get a new mobo, and a new set of DDR4 Ram, but you shouldn't need an update for a while anyway (depending on your uses)

[Anthony10]

What do you mean "outdate"? updatable? Skylake compatible? not good?

 

1150 is still a very good performer, but is not skylake compatible.

 

If you're buying new yeah get a skylake, but if you have a good cpu on 1150, then stay 1150.

@OP

 

in my opinion, you should take your mobo/cpu to a recycling center.

Although those volts seem a little high to me for a 4670, no? 1.348 for 4.4? That is definitely high, and not even "24/7 safe" imo.

 

Don't the more informed people say to keep haswell under 1.35 for daily use? Pretty sure my 4770k is like 1.3 ,maybe 1.32 for 4.4 GHz, and that isn't even a good chip, its average at best.

[TheSLSAMG]

Outdated in the respect that it is not the newest thing anymore? Yes, though your chip was outdated in that respect when the 4690K hit the market.

 

Is it outdated in the respect that it is no good? Of course not, the performance gains to Skylake are generally less than 10% in gaming applications and practical applications alike when comparing equivalent chips.

[mata-pombos]

No, skylake is not worth the upgrade from previous 2-3 generations (it was a small improvement). Your i5 is still very good. Skylake is for people who are building a new pc and want some future compatibility

should i try lowing the voltage?

[i_build_nanosuits]

1- Check benchmarks

2- Realize skylake is only marginally better

3- Walk away.

ok

[ictdude1]

not at all

i got 4.5 ghzs on 1.298V is that better?

[LIGISTX]

Yea, but... not to be rude, but how much research have you done into overclocking? If you where able to change the voltage that easily and call it stable...? And if you where at that high voltage to begin with....

 

You always want to be at the lowest possible voltage per GHz. I feel like you should do more testing...

[TravisTea]

Have you checked it for mold yet?

[Stigs]

Dude, I'm still running an Ivy Bridge 3570k and that still runs like a champ. You're fine.

[Nena Trinity]

Nah even FX and 2nd gen Intel is still valid.

"The more informed" people are mindless sheep that repeat what other people say on the forums.

 

1.35v is PERFECTLY fine with proper cooling.

I mean, those mindless sheep are pretty well informed people lol. Cooling does matter a lot, but cooling isn't as important as volts. Too many volts will degrade your chip, cooling isn't as big a deal because if you are pushing that many volts you are definitely under water, and game load is probably less than 65 MAYBE 70c, which is hot, definitely, but its not that much hotter than a stock chip on stock cooling would be.

 

But even at 60c load temps, volts will kill your chip.... Will 1.35 kill it, I don't know, do I use an abundance of caution and listen to the "sheep" (Didn't Asus come out straight up and say 1.35 is the safe limit for the CPU's...? Thought so, maybe I am wrong, but they aint sheep). Why risk your chip for a few extra MHz that mean nothing in the scheme of things.

 

Doesn't really matter, he said he got the volts down, which is also concerning. You can't know if your chip it at all stable within a few hours, so I hope the OP is testing and validating his chip correctly... Remember, set a voltage @ some GHz, test for at least 12 hours, if stable, either back volts off if that is a desired speed, or bump speed up, retest for 12 hours until unstable or too hot. Once stable, and temps are within reason, test for 24 hours, if stable, I like to bump my volts up 2 clicks of the BIOS (which I suppose depends on what mobo you have) just to ensure its never undervolted, and you good to go.

You and I both know that manufacturers "safe recommendation" is usually somewhat of a low-ball to prevent stupid people from killing their products with stock cooling & 1.35v+ and having to RMA.

 

Nvidia's "safe limit" for 90% of their GPU's are 1.212v, how many people on better cooling are running higher 24/7 with no problems at all? Lots of people.

There's also loads of people running 1.4v for 24/7 use on Haswell/DC on the OCN thread for haswell overclocking/owners club.

 

I ran 1.45v @ 4.9 ghz on a 3930k on a custom loop for about a year, before I sold it it needed 1.465v for the same clock, and that's with quite a bit more than "recommended" volts. (It also went up to 1.63v for a cinebench run in the winter at 5.15 ghz)

I also ran my 4790k that I owned before this 4770k I have now at 1.39v for 4.8 ghz 24/7 on an AIO, when I sold that after about 8 months of use, it needed 1.4v for same clock.  (It also went up to 1.6v multiple times on 2 cores @ 5.1ghz for some single threaded benchmarks)

 

Many other people can attest to running more than "recommended" voltages 24/7 or even periodically, and I doubt they have seen much, if any at all degradation.

 

CPU's are extremely "tanky" so to speak, more-so than most people give them credit for, because usually they're to scared to go over 1.3v.
