intel core i7 Owners Club

[Mussels]

well they also had a ton more PCI-E lanes than modern boards, so PCI-E USB3.0/sata cards are definitely an option.

 

[Tomgang]

but .. do you really need a new system?
i don feel the need of replacing none of my old i7's..... both are working flawless...
Regards,

Its nearly 7 years old now and as already told i am having a upgrade its. Having the same hardware for 7 years is a very long time for me.
But my whife says no and it just not want to die this cursed chip.

 

[Tomgang]

apart fom power consumption, those chips are still really good to this day.

It is to good. So good that my whife wont let me upgrade not even cause of power consumption.

 

[Tomgang]

Yep, but don't forget it has an old platform which lacks features. No PCI-E 3.0, very few Sata 3 or none at all (I'm not sure), no M2, no USB 3.1 or even 3.0 (?) ... it's a lot, and these are only the most important. You can't stay on the same platform forever, well only, if you don't need those features. And the processor itself get's old too, I don't think it's power for games will be good forever, or is even now. And for applications: you never have enough power.

These are enough arguments to upgrade - convince your wife I'd say.

Edit: Oh I've just seen you use 970 SLI! Wow, a i7 920 is not enough for 970 SLI, I think you get CPU limitied sometimes (not always). Your machine isn't very well balanced, I think you should really upgrade now.

Sure i would love to upgrade, but try tell my whife that. Last i tried this happened:

Maybe not this bad, but i think you now where i would end if i keep complaining about the pc.

I am not missing sata 3 or USB 3.0 since i have a PCI controller whit that. I think i just have to found a way to kill the cpu or motherboard fast but not so it looks suspiciously.

Please don't multipost, there is a edit button.

It's kinda weird / sad / idiotic / crazy that you must kill the CPU to get a new one, you should really figure out how to talk to your wife or to women. Everything is possible. That i7 920 doesn't deserve that, lol.

dont kill it, just sell it. you're doing a far worse thing by killing it and throwing away that money.

+1, sell the motherboard, processor and ram combo for a quick upgrade, just be a ninja for that, dont tell, and upgrade or also you can sell it and tell your wife that was damaged.... a little lie is ok this time...

That's a beautiful setup man. My rig runs great but it looks like a clown threw up a skittles cake inside a box. Only thing I got going is good cable management.

You know there is a reason why electronics usually have metal cages around them!?

Core i7 5820K @ 4.2 Ghz 1.3v

 

[RealNeil]

Quad Core i7-4770K @ 4700MHz.

 

[DarthBaggins]

So far my collection of i7's entails a 4790k (4.7 1.256vcore)with z97x-SOC Force, G.Skill DDR3 2133 8GB Kit. And now I'm running my 5930k (4.4 1.256vcore) with a x99 R5E,G.Skill Ripjaw 4 DDR4 2400
Bought both within a year apart from each other to keep up in TeamCompetition Folding in the i7 category (still hold #1 spot nearly every month - currently searching for a new ISP)

 

[peche]

well core i7 owners club is growing! nice
i have to update that Re-delidded i7 3770 temps are better since the second delid, or well, the mistake i made some days ago,

Regards,

 

[DarthBaggins]

I've still yet to get up the nerve to delid my 4790k, but that's mainly due to the temps and under 1.30vcore it took to get it to 4.9 (for HWBot benching). Other than I would think it would be beneficial since then I'm sure I could run it at 4.9-5.1 24/7 if temps and voltages are in my personal comfort zone (already fried one for the sake of f@h but it got RMA'd out)


this is the 5930k running (Ubuntu 15.10):

 

[peche]

Well I have done a couple of delids… not a pro, but is kinda Easy, you just need a little patience, that’s it, a sharpen razor blade, and the correct TIM's for making it great, also if you want to glue it back … thermal adhesive … but it's not necessary…

the difference on temps in my case has been abysmal, my chip iddles near on 24C and 55C on max load gaming and tasking at night, and iddles on 25-27C and reaches 59-61C on heavy and full load at day, here in my country days are pretty hot, so I'm pretty happy with my results,

i have been thinkin about delidding another 3770 that i have for work...

 

[DarthBaggins]

Yeah it get hot around where I am too and high humidity, which is why I'm glad I jumped on the Watercooling train

dont miss delidded wagon....

 

[DarthBaggins]

Right now I have too much free time which means I'll end up messing around w/ the 4790k

sharpen blade...
coollaboratory liquid pro or ultra...
arctic mx 4 ...
no more than 30 to get all process done... dont think about it so much ... go on

another succesfully processor repaste- this time using Arctic MX4,
Old paste was like 8 months ago, temps were little high, i guess during a move on and transportation of the work rig the bond may be broken and affected temps, so decided to take a new TIM for this brave babe!

TIM: Arctic Cooling MX4:
Cleaning: Isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters
application method: Pea sized application and center a little tinting on CPU cooler,
mounting: Little center pressure and thigh cooler 4 clips,

Resutls:

computer is always working and working imp:
24/7 crunches and works for all day tasks @ office, gets rebooted on mondays and shut down just for 1 day or weekend 1nce at year!

I might be partially leaving this clubhouse! oh noes!


will probably throw an i5 2500k into my gaming system, and move the i7 2600 to the server.

you won't, still own the i7 you said is going to be server or something else at home right?
so still on the crew lad! so stay tuned, stay with us!
