What INTEL CPU do you currently use? Post here!

Any hyperthreading going on?

this made me lol.

 

[Bateluer]

Running an E8500 right now, stock speeds. Holds its own in the performance department for now. May rebuild at the end of the year though.

I've got an i7 860, i3 530, E6750, E3200 Celeron, Celeron 430, P4 2.54GHz Northwood (for shiggles), Atom N270 netbook, and a P8600 in my laptop.

[NasdaqTrader889]

Q9550 here at stock speeds.

 

[potato28]

Q8400 in my sig, i7-920 at stock, an E5200 that can run to 4+Ghz no problem and an E6300.

The amount of quad users on this forums is amazing, that's what I call cpu enthusiasts! Shocked at the Corei7 users!! That's a pretty expensive chip!

I still cannot afford a full motherboard + memory + CPU upgrade, so I'm sticking with my E8400, I've recently got a stable 3.6 over-clock on it, it helped remove the bottleneck in some games, overall I'm happy with it, I know I'd be "happier" with a better system, obviously, but I can still run anything I own smoothly. I'll wait for Sandy Bridge for a full system upgrade, in the meantime I'll keep my E8400 running.

Just replaced a q9400 with a q9550. I blew up the q9400 after accidentally setting the voltage to high. It was late, too much wine and I think I thought I was adjusting the Memory Voltage. Boy did I really struggled to get 4 modules running. Reboot after reboot, and a fried CPU later I'm now running. I'm also under-volting(relative to the default board setting) my Q9550 and it seems happy at 3.4Ghz. I've had it up to 3.52 with little effort.

Rockin' a Dell P4 540 at work. PITA.

C2D E6300 Conroe @2.8ghz at home (w/ an x25-m 80gb SSD). 3ish yrs old & still rocking.

[Apocalypse23]

I'd like to add an i7 920 to the list

 

[Kaido]

i7-920 @ stock. Just got my megatron in, gonna fire that puppy up tonight. Even at 2.66, it feels significantly faster than my Q9550 @ 3.2ghz, surprisingly. I didn't think I would feel a difference at all, but it's VERY noticeable. I am extremely pleased with the upgrade

 

[PrimeSLP]

Intel 6320 at 3.0

looking to upgrade to a quad core.

Perhaps however those IBT shots are incomplete. IMO you should be testing using a much larger problem size so all of your system ram is tested. This makes the test run much longer and stress things much more. Most systems that are fairly stable can do five passes with 1GB. Bump that to 4GB and 20 passes and they fail.

I find that an extremely small 16MB test size setting LinX to 300 minutes is a good VRM/PSU tester since the system bounces from high VRM load to unloaded. It's the equivalent of having a psycho person's hands on the light switch flipping on and off as fast as they can for five hours.

Wouldn't this be hell on a CPU pushing the voltages with LLC enabled? Maybe we finally found a way to test if overshoot is that big of a deal or not. I vote someone tests it out for the good of the forum (nose goes)

P4 right now. I got 920 I have not fired up yet.
