I have one of those 3570k laying around, what board are you using, because I would like to do something with it. Thanks Bill
p8z77-V LX Asus only, but you need to raise core voltage in bios to help it run without freeze at desktop when you run daily apps, the rest of mobos i don't rely on at all, got cooler master 212 evo cooler at quiet levels, and after 100% cpu stress applications it seems rock solid at 4.5 GHZ for all 2021 i've been running ever since (i had it at 4.2 ghz years ago, but got worried because i didn't know core voltage tricks, so i returned back to default 3.4-3.8ghz), i can reach i5-9400 cpubenchmark,net score of 85%~ at around 8000-8800 points, i5-9400 unoverclocked scores around 9515, which is still twice as lower as ryzen5 3600 - 17000~. At this point 3570k doesn't bottleneck gtx 1060 3gb and giving me nice 100+ fps @ 1080p with lowered medium to high settings. Got this 3570k used 5 years ago for 100 pounds, probably ran it overclocked for 12 months with pauses at max, and it still is a shockingly stable cpu. Haven't tried run cyberpunk 2077, don't want to upgrade just for this game, but I have hopes that after patches it will run decently at least
