Posted June 23, 2017 Hi everyone! So i gather up some LGA 775 Computers and i think these computers can be inspirational for budget builders. Yeah i know there is some bottlenecks going on with them but what are your thoughts on these computers? The actual reason i searched this is i need inspiration to upgrade my old LGA 775 PC and is this the best way to maximize it? here it goes! Compilations of LGA 775 PC that rocks the stage: 1. Q6600 + GTX 980Ti by bh97 2. Q6600 + GTX 970 by Crowmanic 3. Q9550 + GTX 970 by RedCorsair 4. Q6700 + GTX 1060 6GB by BubbleHugger 5. Q9650 + GTX 980 by MSined "Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas -Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks). Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later Spoiler My head on 2019 : Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 23, 2017 Hell yeah, Q6600 FTW! But it'll bottleneck a 980 Ti heavily, so don't get one of those. A Q6600 is best paired with something a little older, like a GTX 460 or Radeon 6950.

Posted June 23, 2017 LGA 775 is popular/common os most people first PC used that socket. I like it as the motherboard range is vast, from ddr all the way to ddr3. I still have two 775 computers,mine(Q6700) and my family rig (Pentuim D 930) The CPUS are cheap and so are the motherboards, my Q6700 was £23 and the motherboard was £50 (ish) Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Posted June 23, 2017 Not quite a 775, but I have a skulltrail with a pair of QX9775's which is the S771 varient with the S775 mounting points for adding decent coolers etc. Really special dual socket overclocker before the SR2 days, you can actually blank of some pins and use the S771 chip in a S775 board. Couple of pics back in the GTX460 days Please quote or tag me if you need a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 23, 2017 it will all depend on how much you pay for them. With older core i series and pre-Ryzen AMD CPUs coming down in prices, it's not as easy to get a good value from 775 unless it's a literal scrapyard build. 46 minutes ago, fixitnow said: LGA 775 is popular/common os most people first PC used that socket. You mean "most people" in a very specific age range, I suppose 26 minutes ago, AshleyAshes said: There's a reason that Q6600's won the day on the first Scrapyard Wars. There are a few: partially, because it doesn't suck, partially because it was substantially cheaper than Q8xx and the like, and partially because Linus & co. were so used at current Intel's dominance that they didn't even check for Phenoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 23, 2017 They're still very relevant. You can easily grab a LGA-771 Xeon processor like an E5450 from ebay for $15-20, sticker mod it for LGA-775, and most/all P35 boards will take it (some may need a microcode BIOS update). Overclock it and you can achieve performance comparable to Haswell i3 and i5 processors (non-K of course).

A Q6600 is best paired with something a little older, like a GTX 460 or Radeon 6950. Well it is obviously bottlenecked, so i guess GTX 970 can be my mate for Q8400 "Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas -Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).
