[mycpuburnsme]

Hello I'm new to LTT forums but I have a conundrum I have a amd 8320 with arctic freezer 13 and I'm having cpu problems nor getting into details but every 30 mins cpu cold dies not ram or gpu or mobile tried with all different parts so I'm running a old x4 athlon which is getting obliterated by overwatch I ordered 970 prior to this failure so I have no savings until Christmas I have 115 pounds i'd like to get a oldish i7 and moBo please give me suggestions and websites I can look on needs to be available to order in europe or cheap shipping

Getting a good cpu with 115 pounds is nearly impossible, and if you are getting a different socket type of cpu, then you have to buy motherboard too. You definitely have to buy used cpu, and mobo.

Your best bet might be to RMA that 8320.

 

But for 115 pounds you might be able to get a new FX 8300 or 8320E

If you have something like Craigslist, I'd search for a Sandy Bridge combo if the seller is willing to test and show that it works.

RMA means contact AMD to see if you can get the CPU replaced for free.

[ARikozuM]

Mind if I ask what your budget would be for a build?

I'm on my phone or I would.

[mycpuburnsme]

If I were to build a new machine I'd have to wait till new year minimum because birthday is October and Christmas I'd save up and ask parents to put towards until then I'm stuck with this I'm confident I can get a i7 960 with a aftermarket cooler

Did you test to see if you have issues while not OC? It might just be an unstable OC

I tested even under clocking to 3ghz flat still re occurring think it's completely shot. Too much heat and 3 years of abuse at oc?

I just noticed OP's name and picture...

The horrified face of anyone still using AMD...

Very true but it's lasted 3 going on 4 years running at high over clocks competing with my friends 3770k and from release it's had its time and I'm not going amd anymore unless the second cpu I buy dies or zen is amazing

If you have the boards for 1150, try to find a cheap Pentium 325x or i3-41xx. That should last you for a while.

[mycpuburnsme]

Will they bottle neck tho that's why I was looking at first gen i7s because of my Asus 970

If you already have a LGA 1150 motherboard, you should be able to pick up a used Haswell i5 for about your price.

[mycpuburnsme]

It's 1151 and a lga 1336 too oldish mobo by gigabyte

Oh, used i5 6400 or 6500

 

Or an i3-6100. But you said you had a bigger budget for a big upgrade?

[mycpuburnsme]

The 6th gen would be too much yeah I'll have a bigger budget by October or Christmas time

But then I'd have to go without gaming massive bottle neck with the 970 and the athlon I have such a bad expierance

Not by a significant margin. If you're looking for a more permanent solution I'd take the 6300 or 6500 like Energycore suggested. No bottlenecks.

 

Edit: Will a 6700 non-K be in your budget?
