I am in a midlife crisis. I just cant deside to keep my old I7 920 @ 4.2 GHz or go skylake/Haswell-E. I think im suffering from upgrade sickness.
I feel so sad by letting my old I7 920 go away and i would properly never get such a oc friendly cpu Again according to base clock and how high they will go even on aircooling, but it is also an old CPU i mean i have had it for like over 6 years now and she refuses to die so i can upgrade so im thinking and upgrade is maybe on its right place cause i would maybe get a desent FPS boost in CPU intensive games like GTA V.
The CPU has been oc almost 3 years now some where from 3.8 GHz in the beginning to 4.2 GHz the last year and i feel whit Water coling it would even go higher. I have seen ohter i7 920 whit Water cooling run up 4.5 GHz. And i dont have any of those problems that can come from overclock over time like CPU degradation. Well no now at least. It just keep on going... These old i7 920 have been such long life CPU´s compared to all the others i have had before mostly AMD cpu before my I7 920.
So what would you do.
Keep the old sucker till she dies (properly a year or two more, i would be very impressed if she last that long at 4.2 GHz) or upgrade?
The most intesive i do is gaming and not that much online/MP.
Not so long ago i upgrade from GTX 660 TI SLI to GTX 970 SLI and that alone gave me a desent boost i games alone.
3D Mark firestrike score of the old sucker. The gfx is clokket lower for every day gaming than in this test.
