POLL: Your Gaming CPU - Brand - Cores - Overclock

[Nhirlathothep]

Intel G4400 @ 4.455Ghz, 8GB DDR4-2400 @ 2520.

Pentium g3258 @ 4.7ghz

Pentium dual core--------> [Celeron / i3] (2core as well)

great oc!

I7 3770K @ 4.3

It used to do 5.0 until I delidded it.............

Ive got a couple Phenom 2 X6's running that are both at 3.8. Plus an I3, I5, and a pair of L5639's.

something went wrong?

I scratched some of the PCB off the proc and now theres some exposed copper. It never really ran right after that. But it holds 4.3 at stock volts perfectly.

3570K @ 4.2ghz

Nothing special, but still does what I need.

 

[scannall]

4.2 Ghz Westmere 5660.

I'm surprised how many people fall into the "Intel (higher socket) [i7] - 4 core" category. Why get only 4 cores on the higher socket?

P.S. If you want to see my rig, see my sig. No discrete video card for it yet.

 

[Deders]

6700K@4.6GHz

 

[Raduque]

i7-4720HQ at stock.

- not many 3820 and 4820k were sold (the only "recent" 4 core cpu on socket 2011 chipset x79).
- most of the 4core on higher socket are old nehalem on socket 1366 chipset x58


it s possible that some of the voting users don t know the existence of higher sockets (enthusiast) with X chipsets (1366 and 2011 with x58 x79 x99 chipsets) or they don t know that in older times there were quad core cpus on these. (on the recent x99 they re at least 6core)

SuperMicro H8QGi-F running 4 x Opteron 61xx ES (48 K10 cores, of which 8 are overclocked to 3.5 Ghz, and another 8 are overclocked to 3.6 GHz at 1.275v, the rest idle at 2.1 GHz, and 1.4 GHz). i think these chips could go higher with more voltage... but the 92mm Noctua HSF won't cool them properly (the larger ones won't fit in my SuperMicro case). Basically this is a Phenom X16....

 

[biostud]

5820k @ 4.4Ghz

 

[TeknoBug]

For now my i3 6100 is sufficient for my gaming needs, used to have an i7 3770K (OC'd to 4.5GHz with stock voltage, silicon lottery chip) but had to sell it for money to pay for moving but will get a i7 6700K soon. My i5 3550 (OC'd to 3.9GHz) is a general purpose office/virtual machine system and my FX 4350 is a dust collector (seriously).

 

[Nhirlathothep]

Arachnotronic seems the only 6950x

 

[poofyhairguy]

2600k@4.6

 

[CHADBOGA]

What does "lower socket" mean?

 

[Nhirlathothep]

What does "lower socket" mean?

higher sockets : sockets for [-E] Intel CPU (x58 x79 x99 chipsets) (4-6-8-10 core)


1366
2011


lower socket: sockets for [non -E] Intel CPU : (only 2 - 4 core)


1156
1155
1150
1151

 

[Nhirlathothep]

still only 1 6950x

probably many went for dual xeon instead


2 8core

 

[frozentundra123456]

Ehh, BW-K has to be one of the most disappointing releases of recent times. Very little if any ipc gain, probably lower max performance because all the ipc gain and more is eaten up by poorer overclocking. And the pricing for the 10 core is outrageous.

Edit: no offense meant to anyone who purchased 6950x, if you can afford it and want it, more power to you. But the price would have been a bit more palatable if it was a super overclocker.

 

[moonbogg]

I use only the special i7 3930K Moonbogg Edition 4.6ghz.

 

[guskline]

5960x @ 4.4Ghz and 4790k @4.7 Ghz

 

[moonbogg]

^ Hey man, no double dipping

 

[ddogg]

6700k@4.8

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

4770K @ 4.6GHz - Main
2500K / 3570K @ 4.6GHz - Crap-ton of spare gaming rigs (x5)

 

[guskline]

^ Hey man, no double dipping

Sorry moonbogg but I really use both for gaming:thumbsup:

BTW, the GTX 1080 IS fast!

 

[AtenRa]

Core i7 3770K @ 4.44GHz

 

[Shmee]

I have a 5930k which I currently run at 4.25 GHz, due to the 125MHz strap for 2800 MHz RAM. I also have a 4930k rig and a 980X rig. 6 is a good number for cores
