i7 - 3930k here!

I got a X79 mobo and CPU as a part exchange/trade up from another fellow TPU member to wanted to trade down.

I cant remember if he said it was overclocked but i managed to squeeze 4.6Ghz out of it which is kinda average i guess. though 6C|6T at 4.6Ghz is a LOT of horse power for what i really need a PC for but when i eventually retire this setup, it will make a bad ass server or a folding rig

Lets see,

i7 920 (Very famous) Brand new, C0 that could barely do 4ghz...One of the first one's I suppose. Later got myself a D0 second hand that could overclock a little better...SOLD
i7 930 ( Surprising upgrade) Brand new, could do 4.58ghz @ something like 1.4v. Base clock restricted me from further overclocking. It was a very good CPU. Used to run it at 4.2ghz @ 1.268v. SOLD Regrettably
i7 980 (Nice upgrade) Second hand, my first 5ghz CPU. Not stable though. I think I could boot up at like 5.3ghz! Run at 4.2 Ghz @ 1.268v. SOLD Regrettably.
i7 990x (Always wanted one) Brand new, very similar to the 980 but got it for name sake. I could get it stable @ 5ghz but needed HT off. Never tested how high I could get CPU as i didn't want to damage it. UNSOLD.
i7 3770k (Saw it cheap) Second hand, I think the guy was selling cheap because I couldn't get it booted on the combo I bought off him. Took alook see at the mobo and it had bent pins. Straighted them out then
BOOM it booted. I think he was selling it cheap because he couldnt get it going. Didn't play with it much. Ended up selling for profit! SOLD
i7 5960x (Tax deduction) Brand new, the mother of all current CPU's. I don't even overclock it as its plenty powerfull. Maybe if I get bored.

I like my i7 3820. I got it as an upgrade from a Phenom II 940 that could only use DDR2 memory and I enforced a couple requirements on myself.
  1. I wanted memory to not be a bottleneck (capacity or speed,) as I hit both limits with bandwidth and capacity with 8GB of DDR2-800.
  2. I wanted all PCI-E slots. I already was going to have 2 GPUs in it and when it "retires" from being my primary tower, it will probably turn into my gateway because of the I/O. Simply put, I haven't used a PCI card in a very long time.
  3. I wanted VT-d. One of these days when I actually have time, I do want to do PCI-E pass-thru to a VM so see how feasible doing such a thing would be.
  4. I wanted a Xeon upgrade path just in case this machine ends up becoming a server (which would also give me access to ECC memory as well.)
  5. I also tend to run a lot of VMs when I do, so while a quad-core is more than enough, I tend to chew through at least 10-11GB when I'm doing such things. I've used as much as 14-15GB but, those are isolated cases.
My work laptop has an i7-4770M in it with Iris Pro. I also run VMs and a PostgreSQL server on that machine as well.

Devil's canyon! nice i7, this one really makes difference over the past i7's

I was about to upgrade my rig 1 and a half year ago, but I didn't notice any interesting upgrade on 4770 i7 or 4770K over 3770/3770k so I decided to take all the possible advantages on my current chip {3770 non K} and then upgrade my computer in a couple of years, but devils canyon is pretty interesting, nice stock and turbo frequencies, for example, excellent TDP and consumption, waiting to see what skylake can offer for us in this new generations coming,

i7-2600 (non k) in my desktop, still lets me OC it a bit. I can get 4.2GHz easy on the CPU, but due to ram that OC's like crap i sit at 3.9 with a 4.1 turbo.

laptop has an i7 3632qm which would actually make a great desktop processor, its got a LOT of balls for a laptop chip.

my current i7 is a locked 3770, i wish someday i could get a 3770K for cheap and enjoy a couple of years more with current board,

You see, I'm the opposite. I treat my computer like I treat my car. I don't mess with it unless something is broken or if it's not working as it should, only then will I put money into a serious upgrade. I suspect my 3820 will be capable of satisfying my needs for another 3 years to come as my workstation. It would make an excellent server after that though (think Xeon, ECC support and cheap phased out memory and CPUs!)

i7-4770K @ 4.4Ghz 1.35V cooled by NZXT Kraken X60 got this because I want to try Haswell but 4.4Ghz is slower than 3770K @ 5Ghz.
i7-2600K @ 4.6Ghz 1.39V cooled by NZXY Kraken X60 went back to Sandy Bridge reason is 1.don't like high temp on Ivy and Haswell , I like solder more than crappy TIM. 2.gaming performance is almost the same.

My first i7 is delidded i7-3770K @ 5Ghz 1.35V 24/7 (5.2Ghz multithread benchable / 5.4Ghz Super PI 32m @ 1.52V) cooled by CM Seidon 240M I buy this golden chip from extreme overclocker.
i7-4770K @ 4.4Ghz 1.35V cooled by NZXT Kraken X60 got this because I want to try Haswell but 4.4Ghz is slower than 3770K @ 5Ghz.
i7-2600K @ 4.6Ghz 1.39V cooled by NZXY Kraken X60 went back to Sandy Bridge reason is 1.don't like high temp on Ivy and Haswell , I like solder more than crappy TIM. 2.gaming performance is almost the same.
so you got back to sandy ?
but delidded ivys are pretty awesome, mine is a locked chip, delidded and never goes up 58 =D
ho are your temps on that sandy?

58 degrees is about what I see when everything is set to stock with the CPUs fully loaded.

Well my temps are 26-31 on idde, 50-58 on full load on the barren warm days of my country,

at night temps are like: 25-29 iddle, 45-55 on full load, I'm pretty sure that my case may be a problem so I'm getting soon money for upgrade to a bigger one so I will be able to setup better fans for taking all that heat out!

Repasted my old i7 870 @ work,

Temps were kinda decent due the crappy stock cooler, I have tuniq TX4, for a year, here are the results of that paste on my heavy abused i7:
previous temps i7 work.JPG



then decided to give a fresh layer of thermal compound to my old soldier, used Coolermaster Ice Fusion, thin layer on the CPU cooler, beam size on CPU die, then mounted with a little presure on top, here are the results, so far I haven been running for 2 and a half days, I was supposed to make this post yesterday
new temps i7 work.JPG


Coolermaster Ice Fusion TIM is a decent alternative for replacing your old and dried paste, lasts pretty much, also is easy to apply, comes with a pretty useful device for easy applications, easy to spread and in this particular case, comes in a great size for the money paid! this flask has like more than a year with me, is perfect for several applications, also hard to dry, even with the flask open !

I'm looking forward a new cooler for this computer, maybe if a got another decent cooler I will make another breif review /adventure story of Repaste on this little one!

I've got a 3770k, overclocked fulltime to 4.1. Runs pretty low volatage too. In idle all cores vary between 23-31 (since something is always using some cpu cycles in the background).

Under heavy use or hard gaming, my cores all vary between 55 and 61. I've got a great cooler.

So I guess I'm in.

delidded ?
the main problem on my rig is the watercooler, despite water coolers outperform air coolers on most cases, my case suggests that i may need another case that will permit me a better fan setup for taking heat out the case and live more space to fresh air
im saving money for getting a new case, a Chaser a31, i was in love with core v51 but is not available on my country :( so chaser will have the enough space for my current setup with plenty of high performance fans!

An i7-870 was the first. I won it as part of a complete system in a contest. I still have this on the shelf.

Next I bought an i7-2600K and built my gaming rig using that. I'm using it as I type, but it's soon to go away.

i7-4790K Main gaming rig now, slight OC on it and it's good to go for a long time. (I also have it's little sister, the i5-4690K)

i7-5930K will be delivered here soon. I have everything I need to build my first X99 box.
