What INTEL CPU do you currently use? Post here!

The apparently (from the poll results) underutilized i3-530 O/C'd to ~3.6Ghz on the stock cooler at stock voltage. Running as a primarily living room PC, it sees very little 100% utilization so it stays cool enough (<40C). For the price of Intel's lowest end processor and ten minutes in the bios, the performance is unbelievable.

Q8300

Q8300.

Recently upgraded my main system from a A64 X2 4600+ (socket 939 AGP) system to a Lynnfield-based Core i7 one. Hopefully this one lasts as long as the last one did.

 

[komatta]

E8500 at 4Ghz.

It's holding out fairly well. Might upgrade by next Christmas, depending on how well the new sockets perform.

LOL GULFTOWNNNNNNNNNN~

i want the 20meg cache LGA2011 octocores tho which i saw on a future sheet.

 

[Herr Kutz]

Desktop: i3-530

Laptop: Core Duo T2500

 

[GTSRguy]

i use Q9300

 

[memory]

i7 920@4.2 in my machine, i5 760@2.8 in father's machine.

 

[BoomerD]

:$ Main rig...P4 Northwood...3.06 GHz.

Laptop...Pentium M 740 @ 1.73 Ghz.


Planning the next build. PROBABLY will be i5-750/760.

 

[birthdaymonkey]

C2D SU7300 @ 1400MHz... greased lightning.

Intel i3 530, System not finished yet

Intel Q9450, System not finished yet

Wow blast from the past.

i7 965EE is still hanging around but now i've added a 980x and E7500 as a server. The Xeon DP L5609 was shown the door though.

 

[Rubycon]

Posting from an i7 lappy now.

 

[lyssword]

e2140 @2.8. I voted for e6xxx as that's the closest one.

Annnnnd you will still be running those slooooooooooow raptors on non intelligent hosts! :biggrin:

Like he'd finish that build. Didn't he brag about a dual 1366 and then POOF, never talked about it again? I guess he has piles of hardware that is never used?

This poll is a little old... I no longer have the q6600 rigs. I've got an e8500 running, and an i7 950 sitting on my desk waiting for a board and memory to be teamed up with at the best deal I can find. Still have one dual Xeon (sossaman) rig going. My laptop is now a C2D T7200.

 

[jrocks84]

I have a Pentium 4 3.00 GHz which I think is a Northwood C, an i7 920 and my laptop with a Pentium SU2700. The Pentium 4 is in a 7 year old computer which sounds like a blow dryer and that horrible noise is the main reason I replaced it with my current i7. That SU2700 is also starting to annoy me with its performance. I might look at getting a cheap Ivy Bridge-based laptop when they come out.

I got one of these, except it's not overclocked, because it's in a laptop. Even stock it's not entirely stable. :\

 

[Wreckage]

Just went from a E6600 to a Q9550.

I also have an i3 in the Kitchen.

 

[smakme7757]

Currently running on a q9450 and some DDR2 ram. Next year is upgrade time for me!

 

[lehtv]

i7 920 @ 3.2GHz, bclk@200mhz so that memory runs at rated 1600mhz. I'm loving it

Annnnnd you will still be running those slooooooooooow raptors on non intelligent hosts! :biggrin:

these are raptors?

:hmm:

i could of sworn it was 3 intel ssd's in raid 0.

My raptors in raid 0 arent that bad compared to the SSD's.

 

[McRhea]

E8400 OC to 4Ghz (air) in my machine. It's been stable since December 2008...

i3-530 @ 4Ghz (air) in GF's machine. Stable since March 2010.

Both machines used for gaming. No audio/video encoding/decoding, so no i7's used yet.

IMO once you want more than two drives you NEED a host. Forget about motherboard fake raid. It's not worthy!

Well at least you did not put OCZ in your system.

Get an 1880 and join the club over there at XS. Heck the IOP on that card gets hot enough to be water cooled!
