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.

It really ~is~ beautiful. I sat and stared at the pic for a while. It was good for me.

Haswell E
Boradwell?
Skylake ??
whats new in here? what do the people have?

TheMailMan78 · Sep 28, 2015

Sandy Bridge FTW!

RealNeil · Sep 28, 2015

I just dismantled my Sandy Bridge i7-2600K and replaced it with an i7-4770K that I got used for a low price.
Now the i7-2600K will go into my wife's PC.

I'm using an i7-4790K and the i7-4770K system in my gaming room. Both have Crossfire R9-290X GPUs in them.

Notice much of a difference? I don't suspect much if so.

Here's a few pics. Better score with the newer CPU.
Only by 1000 points.

nice results...
improvement is always welcome!

My 4790K gets a little more than the 4770K does.

Here's triple channel ram at 1600mhz:

RealNeil · Sep 29, 2015

Thanks, that system is still rockin' along.
Here's one of mine.

How about the ex i7 club.

I just got a new laptop for my business, clevo w230ss that had an i7 4710mq but I downgraded to an i5 4300m dual core.

I dont need the power of a quad core and plus I wanted some extra battery life. Plus I made some profit upon selling my last business laptop and selling the old i7 quad. Graphics speed increased some 80% but I lost 2 cores.

Aquinus · Sep 30, 2015

Mmmmm, quad channel goodness.

AIDA doesn't seem to be reading it but, turbo is on and goes up to 42x102.4 (4.3Ghz.)

Mussels · Sep 30, 2015

i'm still shocked at how well my i7 laptop keeps up with modern desktop chips. i've actually found some of my friends with gaming machines have slower chips in synthetic benches :/

RealNeil · Sep 30, 2015

Quad Channel does make a big difference,.......

peche · Sep 30, 2015

well nothing to envy here... this brave old soldier still rocks my days at work!

i7's for the f*cking win !

Quad Channel does make a big difference,.......

It only makes a difference if the cores can utilize it. Cache on Intel's CPUs is pretty good so it's not like physical memory is accessed every time something is done. Quad channel memory only pays off in certain circumstances and a quad-core usually won't have enough resources in order to fully take advantage of it. The benefit of quad-channel really is capacity. Try finding a regular dual-channel SB chip that could drive 4 DIMMs at 2133 or 2400Mhz.

The i7 will last me a long time considering how the CPU market has been progressing, the platform will last me even longer as I have a lot of options for increasing memory capacity and my 3820 seems capable of driving PCI-E 3.0 devices (40 lanes of goodness.) All in all, if no hardware fails on me, I can't see myself upgrading for quite some time. Even I wanted 6 cores, 3930k and 3960x chips have become far more affordable, although the CPU might be less capable of doing PCI-E 3.0 than my 3820 is.

Or I could get a Xeon and have support for ECC memory. Either way, I like skt2011 because it gives me options... as I should considering the cost of the motherboard. 300 USD for the 3820 at the time and I paid even more for the P9X79 Deluxe.

My i7-2600K had four 4GB Mushkin Redline 2133MHz DIMMs in it and it ran fine for years. (Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Mainbooard)

Consider yourself lucky. 1866Mhz seemed to be more normal when fully loading it, at least from what I had seen.
