How much longer will this cpu last?

WOW,That is a really nice system.The only things newer hardware offers right now is a few more instructions on the CPU ,maybe 15 percent or so increase in single thread performance at the same clock speed,and Some newer bus interfaces. That is still a very powerful system .I would hang on until...

old game-new question (or maybe old)

AMD 2014 Desktop roadmap

Kind of sad that AMD is not updating their performance lineup with 22nm parts next year.I hope they will update the performance segment when ddr4 comes to the desktop.Lack of competition is not good. I hope reviewers get some Kaveri samples soon so we can see what those chips can do.They look...

APU13- AMD Kaveri details- 856Gflops, 3.7Ghz CPU,720Mhz GPU

Kaveri looks promising.If the price is similar to their previous apu's this should make a nice budget PC.I can't wait for review sites to get these and see how they perform in benchmarks and how they overclock. It Will be interesting to see the future of this architecture.Like what happens when...

Super Secret NVIDIA Live Stream

I find myself wondering if any of the developer discussion is relevant considering most(not all of course) of the games made today are developed for consoles first then ported to the PC. Could these recent and upcoming announcement and discussions change that?

[PCPER] NVidia G-sync

Looks like it could be a nice leap forward in monitor technology.Did I hear right that this is not going to be available until next year? Seems a bit of an early launch. Will be interesting to see what monitor requirements and caveats are present with this approach and how much extra it will...

CPU degradation or FSB troubles?

Hi, In the past I have had some good luck reviving older pc's or getting overclocks back by checking power supply's,dirty contacts and cmos batteries.Also running at a supported buss speed seems to increase stability of older stuff. I would suggest: Check the cmos battery and make sure it is...

Ever felt buyer's remorse on your CPU?

Not since the pentium 4 prescott space heater I bought lol.I had a few video cards i felt that way about too.I just realize I am not stuck.Sure took a loss selling it or giving it to family or friend in need,but in the end the experience made me wiser for the next purchases. With new hardware...

Hi I am in the market for a new psu.I am not totally set on the build yet,but would like a psu that can comfortably handle an sli or crossfire setup with a few hard drives,and is modular or semi modular. 750w seems to be a nice range with some headroom.Looking at reviews and reccomendations,it...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Absolutely no doubt this is a multicore multithread beast of a chip.But if you check out Balla's overclocked I-5 haswell in the Cinebench thread it isn't very far behind this chip with only 4 cores.

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Thanks for the advice and the links Burpo.The Asus Sabertooth is sold out,the Rampage and P6X58-E WS are great looking boards,but for $200.00-218.00 shipped plus 80-90 for a cpu is putting me in core i5-4670K haswell chip and motherboard combo territory and kind of ruins the low budget build...

Will Intel release 125MHz and 167Mhz strap overclocking for non-K Haswell refresh?

I just started looking around at new PC parts after being out of the loop for several years.Sad to see Intel has killed off the budget overclocking scene and AMD is not quite up to speed on performance compared to intel.Gone are the days of sub 100 dollar overclocking CPU's that performed close...
