Core i7 2600k 3.4ghz supports dfi x58 t3eh6?

[yuri221]

This^

 

[DannibusX]

No

^That

 

[yuri221]

Does it or doesn't it? Im sorry I just red that it's an ivy bridge processor, and all I have is the x58 t3eh6.

 

[SlayerJC]

Doesn't, its a diferente socket.

 

[yuri221]

Fuck me...can you recommend me a CPU that performce similari but supports my motherboard? Intel if possible...

 

[SlayerJC]

Any core i7 9xx. For exemple Core i7 920.

 

[yuri221]

Okay so if I plan on buying the i7 2600k or i7 3820 which motherboard should I get?

 

[radrok]

The i7 2600k is socket 1155 and the i7 3820 is socket 2011, the motherboard you mentioned is socket 1366.

 

[yuri221]

Which mid-high end processor would you guys recommend been reading a bit and alot of people are saying that its better to go with the i5 2500k I'm really conflicted...what do you guys think is the best choice?

 

[yuri221]

Bahhh...sorry what motherboard would you guys recommend for the i7 2600k?

Do you want a /real/ mid high-end chip? IVB/SB are all mainstream chips, Intel's enthusiast line-up (SB-E,) starts at the 3820, which is basically a juiced up 2700k with all the bells and whistles X79 has to offer. It starts at 300 USD last I checked NewEgg. Do you really need a 3820 or faster? That depends, you haven't told us what you're going to be using this computer for.

I'm always an advocate for SB-E, the 3820 really is a great CPU for the price, you're just paying a little more for the X79 platform (skt2011) which I'm sure will be twice as worth it when IVB-E comes out next year.

 

[yuri221]

I'll use the pc for gaming sorry

 

[Aquinus]

I'll use the pc for gaming sorry

Then get a 2500k, there is no reason for you to get an enthusiast chip. Remember, 2500k is skt1155, not 2011, and not 1366.

 

[techtard]

2600k or 2500k look for a decent z68 or z77 motherboard. The z86/z77 motherboards can also use the new ivy bridge cpus too.
I just got a 2500k + an msi z77a-gd55 and everything runs great and was affordable.

There are two currently active sockets from Intel. These sockets are 1155 and 2011. The breakdown is as follows:


1155:
Chipsets: Z68, H61, P67, Z77, etc...
CPUs supported (gaming preference): i5 2500k, i5 2600k, i5 2700k, i5 3570k, i5 3770k
Benefits:
Lowest cost Intel platform.
Excellent gaming performance.
PCI-e 3.0 using 77 series chipset and Ivy Bridge processor.

Downside:
Limited number of PCI-e lanes.
Limited to dual channel RAM.
Vast array of chipsets, with various features and corresponding pricing. Harder for new users to wrap their heads around.


2011:
Chipset: x79
CPUs supported (gaming preference): i7 3820, i7 3930k
Benefits:
Boat load of PCI-e lanes.
Quad channel RAM.
Excellent multi-threaded program support, with very acceptable gaming performance.

Downside:
Generally higher pricing of motherboards due to expanded chipsets.
PCI-e 3.0 support is not guaranteed.
Entry level CPU is "locked." You can still get some decent OCs using the multiplier though...



So the question is budget. The 3820 will cost you a bit more, but only compared to entry level 1155 boards. The features of x79 are good for power users, but the average user (read: gamer) is unlikely to see the benefits. 1155 is excellent for gaming, but the lack of extra PCI-e lanes makes it a difficult sell for crossfire/SLI upgrades in the future (somewhat mitigated by 3.0 in Ivy Bridge).

For the money, an ideal gaming build on the cheap would be a Z77 board paired with an i5 2500k. The 2500k can be had on the cheap, now that Ivy Bridge is out. The Z77 will support it now, and offer upgrade to an Ivy Bridge (with all of the extra features) in the future. Right now, Ivy Bridge doesn't really justify itself (in my opinion) at its pricing, though the next incarnation of the chips may (hopefully) prove this assertion incorrect.

I run 4.75ghz on air, 5ghz+ is not unrealistic with this CPU. Locked is kind of a misnomer because all you have to do is bump the BCLK to 125mhz strap and you're at 4.625ghz no problem without even touching the limited multiplier. Honestly, I've barely touched the multiplier when overclocking my 3820. Just because it is "locked" doesn't mean it doesn't overclock like a champ, I wouldn't call that a con. So unless you're running LN2, it will overclock plenty well for the typical user.

The 3820 will cost you a bit more

X79 costs more than most of the 1155 boards, the 3820 actually costs less than the 2600k, 2700k, and 3770k.

2011 will be getting IVB-E next year where Haswell will be overtaking 1155 by using the 1150 socket by then, so 2011 could last a user longer in terms of long term upgrades. Plus IVB-E might sport improvements to IVB that aren't on their first 22nm CPU.

You also failed to mention that X79 has PCI-E 3.0 as well but sports over twice as many PCI-E lanes, so it still has twice the PCI-E bandwidth as IVB-E and 4 times as much as SB assuming you have hardware that uses PCI-E 3.0, which modern performance GPUs typically will. (Radeon HD 7000 Series and GTX 600 series.)

On sandy bridge (1155) You would be lucky to get a 105Mhz Bclk out of a NON-K or K chip. They are just not made to OC using the Bclk

I'm talking about the 3820 and X79, not 1155.

Ahh I see Yea I wished 1155 could atleast up the Bclk for some of the non K chips.

Perhaps you misunderstand. I have a 3930k, and I'm aware of the 3820's potential.

1) I said:

Entry level CPU is "locked."

I used the quotations for a good reason.

2) You don't just buy a motherboard or a processor. You need to buy both. A 3820 may be on par with high end socket 1155 parts, but the 2011 boards start at a higher price. As stated, this is not a consideration if high end 1155 and low end 2011 are compared (similar features and similar pricing).

3) Not quite. No manufacturer has certified their motherboards to run PCI-e 3.0. They have labelled them as "PCI-e 3.0 ready." This means that they have the chips to run 3.0, but they are not sure if SB-e can actually run it. So we have a fundamentally different situation than IB. IB has been certified to run 3.0.


Obviously, you want to recommend SB-e. I can respect that, but the truth is that pricing on a 1155 build can be lower than the lowest 2011 build. If gaming and price are the only concerns then 1155 is the way to go. If you want something more than a gaming box then 2011 is the way to go. I have laid out the facts, and want to let the OP choose what is right for them. My personal choice would be SB-e, but that isn't right for everyone, especially those on a tight budget.

Thank you very much guys for all the help, I bought the 3820 today after my 920 toasted...freakin unbelievable...

Did you get a motherboard and memory as well?

 

[yuri221]

Yeah got the gigabyte x79 ud3 and my old ram will work with This motherboard.

 

[theeldest]

Yeah got the gigabyte x79 ud3 and my old ram will work with This motherboard.

Point of interest:
Your old x58 system used Tri Channel memory (3 or 6 memory sticks). Your new system support up to Quad-Channel memory (4 or 8 memory sticks).

Seeing as memory is at an all time low price, you may want to consider buying new memory. maybe something like this: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD...

If you only had 2 memory sticks you can ignore this.

 

[yuri221]

Thank you but I don't think I'll be upgrading my memory any time soon.
But can someone explain to me this freakin anamoly?
I connected the noctua c14 to my old 920 earlier today and after turning on the computer the processor fried! The cooler was connected properly and the fans were working as soon as I pressed the power button, but the CPU just fried instantly.
