They're still decently powerful believe it or not..

I believe the motherboards only have SATA 2? I guess it depends what the PC is being used for.

Yeah, they are still pretty good, wouldn't bottleneck any system really.

 

Am just curious, i7 980x and 990x is very powerful cpu's 

I used an i7 940 not too long ago and I had no problems with it, I still like these CPU's.

Desktop: i9 11900k, 32GB DDR4, 4060 Ti 8GB 🙂

It would bottleneck my SSDs, and my 980ti and slow down my CAD work, depends what ur doing on the PC.

well, my home server is still running an i3 560 and its doing its job really well.

 

from my experience the single core performance is still better than some AMD solutions still on the market today :/

I had a Core i7 930 overclocked to 3.5 Ghz from 2011 until 2014 .. sold it to my brother in law .. he's still using it with a pair of 7970 .. enough to run him Witcher 3 at 1920x1080 .. he's still happy with it and it's even below i7 980x or 990x

maybe not ? i7 990x at stock get 9.2 points in cinebench meanwhile i7 6700k at stock get 9.2 also, only think, i7 6700k is less power hungry, and single core and thread is stronger, with overclock i7 990x gets over 11points in cinebench, so maybe it wouldn't bottleneck your beastly gpu :)

i7 930 with overclock still can handle anything, ofcource it won't bottleneck hd 7970/r9 280x :) if x58 motherboard wouldn't be so expensive even now, it would be great for cheap build, i can get i7 930 or 920 for 35eur working, but x58 mobo cost like 100$~ ofcource it's isn't a lot at all, but it may cost less
