What CPU do you use for your primary gaming PC?

[Jacky60]

5960x@ 4.5ghz

 

[Ken g6]

Q9400 right now. Slowly switching over to an i3 6100. Someday I plan to upgrade it to an i7 something.

 

[Nothingness]

4770K (no OC except RAM using its 2400 rating).

 

[dogen1]

Just a G3258 at 4.4Ghz.

 

[Giorgosgr]

3930K @ 4.8Ghz

Still Sandy, Still sexy

 

[maddogmcgee]

2500k at 4.4. I saw a 5960x on sale for 660 AUD (450 US) yesterday and am so angry I didn't buy it then and there. Convinced myself it wasn't worth the power usage.

i5 2310, I got it for cheap a year or two ago to upgrade my i3 2100.
I could use something faster, but all new parts are to expensive (the things that are actually a big upgrade all around), specially now that Skylake OC is dead (and I would not be willing to get it without power saving states and being locked to Z motherboards anyway), I will not be surprised if I keep it for another 3 years or more at this point,

funniest part is my h61 motherboard, when new it was bellow your typical $40 board, but it's still going strong after all those years.

PC1-E3-1230v2
PC2-3570K

 

[ShintaiDK]

Stock 6700K.
Stock 4670 in the second one.

 

[stockwiz]

2600K @ 4.5 GHZ, built before they even had the revision 2 motherboards out to fix that SATA issue that was so bad they recalled motherboards for. I ended up sending 2 motherboards back and having them replaced for that.

wow. At that price, I'm so in... heck if intel priced 8 core broadwell-e at $600 I'd probably jump on one, but not $1000.

 

[XavierMace]

3770k at 4.4Ghz.

 

[sarangchafle]

I use an fx 6300. Its a good performer for about $100.

 

[nerp]

i3-6100 stock @3.7 ghz. I don't like overclocking anymore. I need 100 percent reliability and stability and I hate not knowing if an error is OC related or not.

 

[Oyeve]

i7-4790K at stock. Haven't tried overclocking yet as everything is smooth as far as gaming goes. The r290x and SSD hard drives really help. Actually, I don't know how overclockable the CPU is yet.

 

[Madpacket]

Kaveri 7850K @ 4Ghz / 2400 RAM, 860Mhz GPU.

 

[Bradtech519]

i5 4590

 

[Stuka87]

4690K @4.5GHz

This replaced my 965BE @4.1GHz.

 

[Sweepr]

OCed Core i7 5820K (4.4GHz) @ main rig and right now some Bloomfield/Gulftown systems just for fun.

 

[ElFenix]

3570k, never overclocked.

 

[TeknoBug]

i3-6100 stock @3.7 ghz. I don't like overclocking anymore. I need 100 percent reliability and stability and I hate not knowing if an error is OC related or not.

Yeah I basically quit the overclocking business myself, these days you really don't need to OC these days.

 

[skipsneeky2]

I got a i5 2500 non k,hard to believe its 5 years old.No issues with what i play.

 

[lehtv]

3570k, never overclocked.

Undervolted?

 

[Face2Face]

5820K@4.4ghz

OCed Core i7 5820K (4.4GHz) @ main rig and right now some Bloomfield/Gulftown systems just for fun.

+1


I also game on my Alienware Alpha, which has a 4130T @ 2.9GHz

 

[Lil'John]

Sandy 3930k @ 4.xGhz... still tinkering on the over clocking and putting it under water. Mid level gaming.

Currently waiting to see what Broad-E brings to the table.
