My friend has a saying that goes something like this:
An axe will last forever as long as you keep replacing its head and handle.
David triggers broom
@ When you brick your axe by forgetting to factory reset the handle prior to installation
question is if that ship of theseus is still the same ship when you have replaced every single thing.
@ calm down faldegast; Ive broken the warranty seal way back in 2010 already, you can not be held responsible for any damages done, rest assured
@ haha "there's an axe for that"
Came to watch about PC upgrade. Ended up learning programming, biology and chemistry.

Did not expect a simple CPU upgrade video to turn into a biology lesson. Nicely made video
It's more in a lesson in Computer Science with an analogy towards biology, but still cool.

Anyone can do the CPU upgrade and run benchmarks.. The ability to and reason why we can upgrade are much more important than the upgrade itself. This is my outsider's perspective, and I'm grateful I am able to share my thoughts with you here. Have a great week!
PS, for the developers out there, don't forget to implement Reproduce() in LivingObject... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Chubbyemu Nice 👍👌
I'm a recent watcher and subscriber but you're video's are uniquely different and I applaud you for that I hope it works out in your favour. Keep the good videos coming!
Adam Landsberg The ending was emotional.
I have that chip,but recently upgraded to a ryzen 1700. It really shines when you overclock it. I pushed it to 4 ghz with a 980 ti. The only thing is it uses tons of power. Its sits at 11k in firestrike physics score and 14k with a 4ghz overclock.
+Chubbyemu If you overclock that X5650 to 4Ghz (can certainly do 3,8Ghz at least on that cooler at ~1.3v), it will most likely make your computer last those 3 years you were talking about. Damn, had you OC'ed that 930 to 4Ghz and you would be rocking current Core i5 CPUs stock level of performance already! I know this because, I have a 920 C0 from 2008 still kicking, as well, and I've seen the benchmark scores it produces @4Ghz. That's why Overclocking exists in the first place: to squeeze the most performance possible out of an outdated chip; I don't overclock a chip that is a brand new product. Why should I? Is the fastest already. But I do start overclocking when that chip gets replaced on the market by a new, better and faster chip
Did he just go from talking about upgrading his processor to giving a biology lesson?
he even included a lesson about programming, that was a 3in1 video
Nice, i was looking for this comment
I suddenly feel the need to hug my PC.
mee 2 dude!
Damn, me too. lol
PCs are cool
Just did
Same.
I've had this broom for 30 years!
Only changed the handle 6 times and the broom head 5 times.
i left this running in the background, then all of a sudden you started talking about biology lol
I just heard of him explaining object oriented design with biology, technically biology, but mostly because he's trying to explain a programming paradigm with a real life example.
I had to pause and see the title of the video to check if i was still watching the same video.. Then checked the comment section to see if other's thought the same LOL!!
IKR, omg loool, i cant believe how this realistic it was i thought youtube glitched
Yet the video subject is a CPU upgrade..
5:25 A man heard the POST beep of life. This is what happened to his cerebral cortex.

A CPU upgrade video with an Object-Oriented Biology twist. This was a first for me. Nice to see someone with a focus on the meaning of the world, not just feeds and speeds of hardware being installed. Entertaining, thought provoking, insightful, and a little quirky. Great job!
A man put a £20 CPU into his computer, this is what happened to his body...
it got a little bit emotional at the end.
well i also have emotional connection with my pc too!

My PC never nags at me, never asks me for money, never asks me for favors, remains loyal, and doesn't complain when I ask it to do something. Can't say so much for people. Not to say that I don't have a few friends. My PC is just lower maintenance.
@SmoothRide mine is aluminium so i dont think i have to go out right?
Programming these days is such a mess....Just because the hardware gets better they maake their software worse but it can still perform better because the hardware is so much better. No respect these days in programming for constraints and optimizations.
It's the reason I stick to QBASIC-like programming languages.
how the hell did this turns into a biology lesson???

there's something intimate about building your own pc, and the fact that you actively try to make that relationship last longer with upgrades is almost romantic
my computers i build are like my children to me. each one with different parts handed down from different builds with different personalities.
since i don't have any real children
Zac Deculing exactly what i wanted to say. I almost cried 😓😢
Absolutely. I hate waste, so I often try to milk my existing motherboards for everything they're capable of; the most amount of RAM, the fastest CPU with the most cores, but eventually it's comparable to decorating the Titanic.

Went from a tech video to a video essay. I wasn't expecting that but it worked damn good.
It is insane how amazing these Xeon's are if you are still rocking the lga 1366 motherboard. I just did a similar build for my secondary pc and it does well for rendering, gaming, and streaming. With a 4ghz overclock you can do amazing things with this cpu!
TechWithRy could you overclock a Xeon?
These xeons work in enthusiast motherboards that support overclocking. So yes you can overclock them. I have my x5650 currently clocked at 4ghz stable.
wow, That is surely amazing, I have a ThinkPad workstation but I cannot overclock it.
It is most likely because of the motherboard. An x5650 requires an x58 chipset mobo to overclock it.
i hope your right, i just bought one, can't wait to install it. been on my i7 950 for so long now, willing to give this small upgrade a chance
When you officially retire and stop using this PC it deserves a ceremony or a funereal of some sort.
I expect him to put this pc in a closet somewhere and use it as a seed box.
Or he could just sell it on craigslist.
WorthlessDeadEnd when this pc is retired it's probably gonna be 9-10 years old already, i doubt anyone would go that far back for used parts, he'd be better off just keeping it as a memento
It's crazy how a currently $20 server CPU from 2010 is faster than an originally $300 high end consumer CPU from 2010. Although I saw it for $65. Server CPUs become much cheaper than consumer CPUs over time because big companies are selling them in bulk because they upgraded to newer CPUs. Other components don't really become that much cheaper to be really useful. Often a lower end modern component is faster and uses less electricity while costing the same.
its a workhorse cpu... xeon's are great at work but suck at gaming :-\
Nothing crazy. The "currently $20" originally costed $600-$1000.
The LGA771 platform was flawed with FBDIMM power usage (15W each FBDIMM), LGA1366 platform has 40W chipset overhead compared to the next generation chipsets. My PC can't consume less than 100W@wall while similar ivy bridge i5 idles at under 60W.
The fastest Core 2 Extreme (X9775) was $1500 at release and is a bit slower than an Athlon 200GE which is available for 50 bucks new right now.
@@harleyme3163 actually, if the cores are the same generation at the same clockspeed will perform the same
they're originally even more expensive... the reason they're so cheap are because they're sold used from servers.
Did you just use animal biology to explain object-oriented programming?
As a conservation bio person dating a software engineer, this gave me mad feels.
This video turned out way deeper than I expected. lol. Great work! :) Just subbed.
if you dont overclock youre actually losing performance and usefull timelength the x5650 overclocks like a champ
I have mine running at 4.0Ghz with no problems!
blaster17363 pls recommended cheap, overclockable motherboards for x5650
any x58 mobo really. i got a asus maximus III extreme for 110 pounds or around 130 dollars which is one of the best mobos for this cpu
Jamzy thanks m8, really appreciate it
no problem. Just make sure the board is compatible with the xeon

cramming is equivalent to overclocking, increase in performance but u may die early because of stress
I dont know how about u, but ill rather kill 20-50usd CPU yearly if its supposed to be even 40% faster.
My Frein i will teach how over clock www.techradar.com/how-to/computing/how-to-overclock-your-cpu-1306573 www.pcgamer.com/how-to-overclock-your-graphics-card/ There i help fellow frein
Ok heres an some help. Go into your bois change the clock speed of the you cpu/ram in increments untill it crashes. Then what you do is reset the bios (Take out the battery on the motherboard for 30 secconds and put it back in) And go to the settings right before you crashed. For your Graphics card use programns like MSI Afterburner, and its again trail and error.
Did you see how dirty the heat sink was
A+ thats all i can say.. its so refreshing to get a review of an entirely different caliber then the standard testing/benchmarking.. and needles to say it gives people a very good idea where they stand with their current systems by being able to compare their hardware to current generation demands and workload performances.
I'm still rocking Q9650 from 2008, it benchmarks the same as an AMD FX6300.
It's still a very solid cpu ! amazing how those Q series chips have lasted through the years.
LGA 775 is the best.
I have ordered a I7 7780 to replace my q9550 system...about 6 years rock solid. ..just no more upgrading
Chris Ayres that comment doesnt make sense because Most Users got dedicated GPUs
I'm running a Q6600
I'm fine with 1080p, and I would probably still be running 1680x1050, if that monitor had not broken down. Especially when it comes to resolution, I don't quite see how the benefit outweighs the requirements anymore. The jump from 320x200 CGA to 640x480 VGA was nice, but 4k doesn't make all that much of a difference to me compared to full HD, neither does 144Hz, neither does HDR. And don't get me wrong, those things are all nice, but I can get on just fine without them.
And except for screen resolution, computer development has slowed down significantly. A PC bought in '96 was outdated two or three years later, but this is not the case anymore today. This computer you have there could probably last me another 3 years. Of course, I do not stream or make youtube videos for an audience that may have the bestest screens on the market at all time and expects the content to look the part. :)
I still rock 1680x1050 and I love it. 16:10 is awesome and the lower resolution gives a nice fps boost
I've got a MacBook and it's already 4 years old and showing no signs of age. I fully expect this laptop to last me 10 more years with minor repairs.
Mark M Macbooks really differ in quality. In my experience they are really durable when you handle them carefully AND they don't have discrete GPUs. Because discrete GPUs really suffer from apples bad thermal management:
-Radeon X1600 had more fails then usual
-Nvidia Bug
-Radeon 6xxx had more fails then usual
It's a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina 15" A1398 11,2. Specs i7 4770HQ, 16gb ddr3, 256gb pci ssd, Intel Iris Pro GPU. I'm not afraid to tear it apart and replace anything that breaks on it. I have the motherboard schematic so I can fix any logic issues if it starts to fail. I will keep this laptop for as long as possible. At this point I'm getting frustrated with Sierra and dread upgrading to the next version that I know will just include more bugs and glitches. I'm going to upgrade to lubuntu as soon as I can get access to a fast enough internet connection.

I have had the same broom for 20 years and it's just as good as the day I bought it. admittedly I have fitted 5 new heads and replaced the handle 3 times but it's the same great broom that I first brought home in 1997. sounds a bit daft doesn't it, but it sounds the same as your 7 year old PC that you say is the same one that you built in 2010 BUT you have swapped out the graphics card and added more RAM and SSDs. and now you have swapped the CPU and bundled it all into a new case, there's not much of the original PC left. just like my 30 YO broom eh?
sydmichel which can be said of life. Your cells divide and die all the time, even brain cells. With all the changes that happen in your body, when do you stop being you? Were you ever really you to begin with?
In this, the only thing to not change is the motherboard. Maybe it's an entirely different computer if that changes. Also he changed those parts gradually over time, just like the cells in your body. So if you are you, then this is still the same computer.

I've been keeping my pc going for 5 years. In fact, it's still doing fine with an upgrade of RAM that I bought on eBay. I'd say another year or two at most but, it's incredible value for money.
4k is pointless but so is life so who cares. No doubts we will all need to keep jumping through hoops until people eventually realise it's only an improvement on huge screens. Sorry, I just had to throw my two cents in.
I appreciated this video on so many levels.

I suffered with an overclocked piii until 2014. It had the best of what ever I could scrounge over time. It still got the job done until I eventually upgraded to ssd and a cheap 6 core amd bundle. Great video.
At the time of this video, the X5690 may have been a little expensive, but now, the x5690 is way way faster than the x5650.
this video is so powerful.... i'm holding back tears

Another excellent video. I'm really glad you have your computer, so you're able to share your content with the internet. Thanks. : D
good on you, I'm sticking with my 2012 i5 3570K build as long as the motherboard holds out, still perfectly satisfied with the performance
My 2011 $58.00 HP Z400 with a $45.00 X5675 that cost over 1100 bucks new is my main rig now and the stock under 500 watt psu fires my 1070 just fine. With no overclock at all im happily turboing 12 threads to 3.43ghz and suffering no slowdowns. My 2600K and 2500K systems are sitting. 12 thread Xeons just perform better.
You had the CPU cooler off and you didn't clean it?
This is what will happen to your lungs...
In 2012 I made my old socket 771 server into my gaming PC. it's still going strong, although I changed the CPU's in 2016 (dual socket btw) Also I changed my case into the Phantaks you have now (supports EATX)
Seriously you're spending more on electricity to keep that old rust than replacing it with a core2 based system at the very least. The 771 platform is now entirely obsolete and considered a space heater. I'm not hating on your system, it's just not economically viable to keep turned on.
I have still pretty great workloads. a core 2 based system can't really processes it well and a modern Pentium solution is also out of the question. At least I need a modern i5 4xxx or Ryzen 5 cpu to get the calculations afloat.
Mark the 771 and the 775 are more or less equivalent sockets for server and desktop respectively. There are mods for using a 771 based CPU in 775 based boards...A core2 is not an upgrade it's a lateral move or a downgrade depending on where the CPU comes in in the span of the lifespan of the socket.
You changed CPUs but didn't clear your custom BIOS settings? That's upgrade 101, man.
Den Tyngaste um no it doesn't. Lol. Not always.
He probably did after it failed to POST several times.
I made the same mistake when I upgraded my SSD in my upgrade video: ua-cam.com/video/pwNJto6VWE8/v-deo.html
Although, because all I did was swap out the HDD for SSD, I expected the BIOS not to change drive positions.
Agreed. Reading comments to see if someone else mentioned it... That's a facepalm mistake.
first thing before u swap cpu is to upgrade bios to newest ,,,,
Reminds of my first new car: Acura 2006 RSX Type-S. Previously, I had owned a Chevrolet Beretta (abysmal car, to say the least) and a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. The Honda/Acura product was expensive for a hatchback but had a phenomenal engine that was a tiny (2.0 Liter I4) with a 6-speed manual. In the heart of the RSX-S was the might K20 engine. A tiny engine that had one metric that few car makers could boost, the magnificent 100hp+/Liter mark. Most importantly, the reliability of this engine was sky high even thou it had a redline above 8000 r.p.m.'s. For 10 years, I owned the car, I took cared of it; oil changes (every 5000 miles), radiator fluid replacement (every year), power steering fluid (changed yearly), and transmission fluids changed yearly. I drove that car like a mad man. Eight years in, I had an oil analysis done, the results were way above average. Basically the various metal deposits were low and the presence of coolant was non existent (measurements proving the engine was still in pristine condition). My RSX-S was good for another decade of driving. However, exactly ten years of ownership and I lost the car in an accident. Was planning on keeping the car, at least, another 8 years. 8 more years without a car note and driving a car that could still out perform most automobiles coming from the likes of Acura, Honda, and Toyota.
Yes, buying quality counts. I could talk about a pair of shoes that I purchased 12 years ago that have lasted me until the present but the same underlying principle still stands: overall quality, many times, is cheaper than just buying cheap products when you understand what you're buying.
I had my 1990 Volvo 240 DL wagon 17 years for similar reasons. Twice what I'd ever paid for a car before. Lasted 3X longer and made me happy with the purchase the entire time. Yes, the wiring finally got brittle with age and I didn't sink the money into it to replace the entire wiring harness. But I could have, as the rest of the car was pretty much "new"...
every car from 1990 up makes me laugh at how they claim horsepower.. I built a 454 inch chev big block and squeezed it in a custom camaro..
they dont build em to last anymore,, they want you to pay more to replace it.
oh that 454 is still running in a truck a guy bought, 300,000 miles and still going wow, most engines these days die in 150,000 kilometers :-\

Hey there - I'm a big fan of your medical case study videos. As a layperson they are always opportunities to learn without a barrage of overwhelming information. My day job is building & operating the live video CDN at Twitch, so I get the expected questions about PCs from friends & families. Your tech videos have been a great resource to send them to for answers. I hope you are able to continue shooting them. Thanks a bunch!
Why did he go all philosophizer on me... Im suppose to be watching mindless videos. I guess i better go.
Good shout but upgrading of PCs in a useful sense hasn't been possible for years, when I first started building my own PCs in the late 90s you could throw a new CPU into a five year old motherboard, I had motherboards which had at least three CPU upgrades that gave orders of magnitude additional performance, you just can't do that now.
I very much doubt this is all down to new technology on the board, it's just capitalism in full flow, firmware updates could surely support at least the next generation of CPU but the board manufacturers just choose not to do it.
On the flip side I think the lifespan of a CPU, if you buy at the high-ish end, has increased. I'm still using a 4770k with DDR3 and it doesn't feel like something I built 5 years ago, the absolute need to upgrade just isn't there, whereas in the Pentium 4/Athlon days the processor would feel out of date after maybe 2 years.
Jon Johnson yup the greed of Intel has definitely made upgrading harder but and guaranteed new cpus for am4 until at least 2020 so hopefully ryzen will catch up in the high end soon
Yeah I have no allegiance to either company, I just get whatever works for me, looking at building a new system in the next few months and will probably go Ryzen. Also looking to build a Plex server and a low end Ryzen seems to be the best option for that too in terms of power usage and performance.
maybe get a ryzen pro with a lot of cores since they have a low tdp
I have an amd athlon 4200+ lol
sure you can, most motherboards these days are more then capable of hosting many cpu's.. the i3 i5 and i7 for instance. depending on which generation there from... like my board has an i5 2300 on it, but I can up to an i7.
if your talking amd and intel, well thats obvious because they use different socket tech
X5650 user here!
and X5670 user too
Great video. I just finished a build on the LGA 1366 platform, using used parts from Craigslist mainly. Getting a working motherboard was tough. But it was worth the trouble. Those forgotten parts are still a pretty good value! Like you, I also jumped from an i7 to a Xeon. It’s a good deal! And hey, the PCIe slots are still very relevant and offer convenient upgrade potential for the next bell and whistle.
Very thoughtful and eloquently presented, as usual. I'm in the middle of upgrading/maxing out my pc too. Stayed away from $5k HP Z840! Even an extra year or two is worth it, because there will be newer ones coming out, making the current latest models cheaper by then.
What a beautiful love letter to the PC.

Still running a 2014 computer I built - in 2014, with a decent GTX card, started at 8 GB of Ram, upgraded to 16 GB last year. SSD was 128 GB, now 500 GB. Just as his point, if we can upgrade a machine, do, and it will become better as time goes by. Making a computer that allows for upgrading is a way to save money without shelling out tons of money and throwing away our older computer.

Well with intel to upgrade cpu you often have to upgrade motherboard and memory also sadly.
With amd you'll often have to upgrade ram as well
oh i got the xeon x5670. nice!!! i think you should have got the x5670. its a little better in my opinion and it would set you back about 40$
I've got a x5675 out of an old blade server and was running this config for the last 1-2 years. It's impressive how my (basically) 7 years old system keeps up with all the current games with basically only graphics cards being upgraded every 2-3 years.
I use an x5660 @ 4.2ghz
I have a single core CPU
I thought i had a dual core CPU
I was gonna get a quad core CPU
I considered a hexa core CPU
I wanted a octa core CPU
I thought deca core CPUs didn't exist
I don't know why I made this comment

still using AMD 8-core (which is really 4 cores and some slight-of-hand.
6:47 Sorry about your low blood pressure. That should help you.
I've built 3 PCs in my life. The first one I don't quite remember in detail. I'm pretty sure it was a pentium 4 with 512mb of ram. The second pc was an intel q6600 quad core with 4 gigs of ddr2 ram and a geforce 8800gts. At the time of building, at 2007, it cost me around $2000 which I had saved up working a temp job as a teenager during summer. That one pc lasted about 9 years with updates (8 gigs of ram and a geforce 660 to replace the dead 8800gts) and ran relatively well for my needs until finally the motherboard itself had died.
Fast forward to today and I'm on a new pc built a year and a half ago that cost me about the same as the previous, with a core i7 8700k, 32 gigs of ddr4 ram, and a rtx 2080 with the intention that it lasts around 7-9 years. So in a matter of speaking, I agree with you on getting stuff to last.
Just clean that PC if you wanna serve you well... ;-)
cpu 20$, motherboard 300$
Patrick Gueriguian he already had mobo
Patrick Gueriguian why such an idiot?
When that Xeon was new, it was likely over 1000$. You can't compare the new cost of a motherboard to used cost of processor. It's new to new and old to old. His motherboard is probably worth around 50$ since they oddly hold value longer.
LeoInterVir X58 boards are still very expensive.... Even used they're still like 130 bucks
What is your point railroad? Did you miss my point in how i was rebuking Patrick's stupid comment? "cpu 20$, motherboard 300$"
X58 boards can be found for under 300 bucks, let alone under 130 bucks. It doesn't help that they weren't as mass produced as other motherboard lines.
LeoInterVir at least in germany (but in other countries as well I think) X58 boards are known to keep their value pretty good. Here you CAN'T find 1366 boards for 50$, all other old boards, hell yes, their dirt cheap, but even used "cheaper" X58s cost over 100€ here, good boards like good gigabytes or the flagship ASUS ones even more.
But you are true by saying you can't compare the motherboard/cpu combos as the prices will differ in the used market
hi
edit: omg thank you for 1 like.
A man upgraded his cpu, this is what happened to his lungs.
Still rockin' a i5 2500k @ 4.5 Ghz. Only upgraded the video card. Reinstalled Win7 and everything flies.
See the benchmarks to compare the two CPU's (below)

Dude you can get so much more performance out of that pc by overclocking. leaving it on stock speed is such a waste of performance.
Real Flêks nah it's the same pc as mine my i7 930 came from overclockers uk in 2010 @4ghz I'm playing ghost recon wildlands at 2k and assassins Creed Origins at 4k
Since we still can buy Celeron 300A's I highly doubt OC'ing can have THAT big of a deal on life span of CPU.
Basicly : If you stay below Intel's recommended voltages for CPU, OC can't damage CPU in any way. There is no "transistor cycle limit" after which they destroy themselves.
Yep the only thing that will really harm it if you stay within spec is heat, decent cooler takes care of that.
Life time does not get infuenced that much my i7 4790K runs 5Ghz on all 4 cores for over 2 years now on 1.28 Volts over 1.3 volts it will degrade in life its just about the voltages and heat that degrade hardware just boosting a clock speed without touching voltages and have enough cooling will actually keep the system stable ;)
I plan on buying an intel i9 9900K
Don’t get one
I have a PC with an I7 3930k and 16GB of ram since 2012. Over the years it has gotten some upgrades. The upgrades were mostly adding more SSDs. and upgrading the Graphics Card from a GTX 680 to a GTX 1080 TI. The system also has a SoundBlaster Recon3D Soundcard. But I haven't upgraded the Soundcard since its been working fine for me ever since. The system has 6 cores and runs at 3.20Ghz stock. When Turbo Mode is enabled. I get 3.8Ghz clock speed since I'm using a Phanteks CPU cooler on it. However the motherboard supports PCI-E 3.0. But the 3930k only supports PCI-E 2.0. So the graphics card and everything else was running at the 2.0 specs. If I upgrade the CPU to a 4930k. That CPU supports PCI-E 3.0. So I could probably see a jump in performance when the Graphics Card is using the PCI-E 3.0 specs which it was made for. The 4930k is not cheap but I have seen the prices on them going down a bit recently.
I have been scouring through the internet for a video to show appreciation for old beast like this and at last found yours. Youre just ascertaining people as long as your PC plays the game you wanted to play and does what you wanted do with it, it will last you for a really2 long time. Good video bruh, you get a sub from me. Wish many pc gaming channels could follow your lead into this but i guess its wishfull thinking.
