Lol good catch, I was very confused.
I'm still using i7 860 now... happy with it...
Cleorina any defaults
Using i7 860 with GTX 1050 ti. Im amazed!
Built mine in 2010, still going strong. Had to replace power supply, hard drive, motherboard, heatsink, and case eventually but cpu is still great. No issues with audio processing/rendering which I mainly use it for. I can create music with dozens of tracks of synthesizers and unlimited plug ins on each track and the cpu usage never spikes.
Also still running i7 860. Just upgraded motherboard to overclock, and upgraded to SSD. I play Control with GTX 1070 at 55 FPS
@@danonbrez3827 Do you get any annoying buffer overrun? Also, can you run resource-hungry instruments like Keyscape/Omnisphere smoothly?
I'm running i5-750 and considering an upgrade to i7-860/70 or Xeon x3440/50.
Love ya Timmy, you answer the questions we didn't know we're interesting. You're the youtube hero we need.
Getting close to 100K subs! Your channel kicks ass Timmy Joe!
Great video! Any chance you could do a pre and post spectre and meltdown patch benchmarks for some of these older hardware setups? Would be interesting to see the performance penalty incurred.
Im running a i7 870 (overclocked to 3.8) with a 1060 and can definitely say these older i7's are still very much capable of modern day gaming. Considering im able to run mw 2019, apex, even dragon quest 11, all at 60 fps stable pretty easily, from high-ultra settings (mw around medium and high), says alot.
Id imagine the 860 isnt too far behind so you should be able to get 60fps in most games on low-medium at worst. Definitely pick it up either if you're on a super budget rig. i got my 870 in a budget gtx 670 2gb rig for only $150 2 years ago....nowadays when i think about it...just wow, So you never know.
Old stuff can still be useful, I got a 3770K system with a GTX 760 running a Plex server with no problem
3770k runs great at 4.5ghz with dual gtx1070 no problem in games
I recently reviewed a 1st Gen i7 machine, and I gotta say when matched with a GTX 760 I was blown away! It may be long in the tooth but can certainly hold its own so long as you keep your expectations in check :)
Cracking video TJ!
I'm actually using a i7 950 and gtx 760 2gig. Only thing I'm thinking of changing is to a rx 470
@@notaloafofbread773 no bottleneck i even have a i7 870 at 3.6ghz with RX 470 Also cpu barely reaches 90% only on those crappy unoptimize games im looking at u ubisoft AC
@@eugenemendoza70 I'm using an X5650 @ stock clocks with an RX 580, I don't ever really see bottlenecks and CPU usage during gaming hovers around 20% - 30%, with GPU usage maxed out.
The Witcher 3 plays 70 - 80 fps average, never dips below 60.
I was thinking the X5650 was from this generation, but after looking into it, I see it's from the later generation, so not a fair comparison.
Intel's IPC gains all the way through the i7, i5, i3 line has been shit. Only now that Ryzen and Epyc are taking significant market share is Intel getting their asses in gear.
I have a rx480 with a i7 860 should I get a better cpu
Still have my i5 760. Ran it at 4.1 for years at 1.3 volts. Ran a few benchmarks at 4.4 but don't remember the voltage. Might piece that system back together and go ham. Only golden chip I've ever had. Great video.
Not bad but the x58 xeons are still knocking it out of the park, my x5675 hits cinebench 1100 at 4.7ghz which is great for a $20 chip.
Lol
that procesors are insane. Sad thing is that mobo for them cost so much. if mobo x58 would cost only half, i would laught to all new shit :D
I have a W3680 overclocked to 4.4ghz haven't found a game yet that it can't handle
I don't game much but I have a x5650 in my DAW and that xeon is still very capable indeed.
@@ShaunNelson Yeah, my x5675 OC renders faster than my Plex machine that has a 4790k in it even when it's OC'd to 4.8ghz. Still blown away by how well it performs for how old it is.
Can you give me some suggestions for new cpu cooler for my tr4 1950x on x399 zenith board.
Obviously we wanna see you do the dual core. I had the i5 dual core hyperthreaded first gen that got me back into the pc world.
My simulation lab still has a batch of i7-920, i7-960 and i7-980X based PCs - we don't use modern AAA games but they do OK running VBS3 when paired with GTX970s.
I got 4.2 with a 920 and I'm currently running an x5675 at 4.8, getting ~1150cb
Huh I just trash picked one of these today off of a dead motherboard that also works coincidence? Greetings from across lake Erie!
What are the temps when the setup is in a case? 5 - 10 degrees warmer?
My i7-880 seems to work best at gaming when I improve the ram timings before overclocking.
(But I think it's clocked a bit higher to start with, so who knows.)
I got a I7 860 an ASUS H55M and 8GB of RAM for 50€ with shipping included. That is the cost of a used 1155 motherboard.
DAMMMNNN h55 mobo are more expensive alone then h61 lga1155 mobo on aliexpress...

did you notice the button cell battery was not present in that motherboard you said was broke in the beginning of the video?
Duuuuuuuude thanks a ton, AM about to buy a i7 860 (upgrade from an old i3540) cause am buying a Rx 580 8gb, hoping to be able to play some games decently! Awesome review, the only doubt I have is how to overclock the CPU like u did, do u have any video guide for that? Maybe not to bring up to 4.2ghz but to OC it a bit! Thanks, awesome video!
My man Timmy Joe is on the motorweek Retro Reviews too daaaaamn
I have that exact same cooler and same CPU without the overclocking. That means I should just go to BIOS right now, set it up to 4.2GHz and almost double to performance without any risk?
This CPU is still pretty golden!

Can someone tell me what chuki beats song plays during the gameplay footage? Thanks
With a bit of tlc, it still holds up in 2020!
Chuck in 16gb of ram, a gtx 1650 or similar, and a aftermarket cooler to combat thermal throttling, and it can generally hold high/ultra 1080p quite comfortably.
6:25 I had a Phenom II 955 running at 3.6GHz, and then moved to an i7 950 at 3.69GHz (later 3.85GHz). I paid $245 for the Phenom II, and $299 for the i7 950 (more than a year after it was first released).
The speed difference was quite substantial. So value comparisons are going to depend on how much the chip costs at the time it's purchased.
awesome cooler! i can't wait to get my hands on one of those. i just wish they'd have sold it with the chromax version of the fan, but i'm sure it will available to the public at a later date for of course more money...
The time has come my friends. Ive used this CPU since it was released. It saw many power supply come and go, GPUS that lasted only a blink of an eye in comparison, HDDs, cases, and several apartments. This CPU had seen it all. Finally got to retire Jersey #860.
Im still rocking mine, has seen 3 case changes, still running the same EVGA p55 SLI mobo, with a 770sc from evga, and a 750w psu (a bit overkill, but it was 120 bucks for that and 4gb of corsair xms3 ram back in 09.)
What about i7-875K/860 max overclock with watercooling?
Your content is very original and specific too ! You 'd have more views !
Oh yeah, this is like the i7 version of the x3470. I have one of those in an ASUS P7H55m board and it’ll still run about anything you throw at it. You can do some baseclock overclocking on it too 👍
I used excactly that same CPU & Mobo combo, @3.8GHz until january this year, when I upgraded to the Ryzen 5 2600... Excellent CPU & Mobo!
x3460 to be accurate.
please include single core cinebench score...love your channel btw :)
Yeah that is a good idea, at least this time I didn't forget the watts pulled from the wall :)
could I overclock if I have a regular Intel cooler and is overclocking dangerous for the life of the processor?I have i7 870
Hey Timmy Joe, I just upgraded from a fm2 a10 5800b cpu n gtx 670 2gb i got on the cheap, got a old xenon no overclock on a intel 1156 motherboard with left over ram in dual channel. cpu, ram n board under 75 bucks American. Also upped the gpu to a gtx 780 3gb i got for 80 dollars. great stuff hit 144 fps in overwatch and 60 high/ meds in cod bo4
I have an i3 6100 and an i7 680 build which one should I use I'm guessing the i3 but I don't know?
ive got an old i7-920, try a 660 ti on it, it pairs perfectly. and its a beast in my opinion. Your so underated I love that you review older stuff it makes me happy
a 660 ti or a GTX 950 (performs the same) are still good cards, but this platform can still do better. a GTX 970 is about as far as I'd realistically go with it.
@@DerrickRG id agree a 2070 is a bit much lol
Built my rig with an i7 860 back in 2010. Currently have it at 4ghz. I've upgraded the video card 3 times since then with my current card being a R9 290x. The system still runs almost everything at 1080p 60fps @ max settings. Only a few recent titles that it averages in the high 40 / low 50 fps on max settings. Has been a great CPU
Built a computer a month ago to replace my system I built in 2010 that was an i7 970. The old PC is still running, ran current games well and paired with an GTX 1070 ti. I build computers to last.
@@Empika I guess I could have worded it better. Mainly referring to not having to replace all parts then some. GPU is easier to take out than CPU
Can you also test the 4960x with rampage black edition IV socket 2011?
Oh gosh that was even worse than I thought it would be. The Cinebench scores were higher than I expected... but HALF THE FPS?!?!? WITH A 2070!?!?!? That's an oof right there.
I ran my i7 870 at 4Ghz with an R9 380 for a few years and it did pretty well. Now I've got an E5 1650 and 1080 it's in my server that I use for hosting a few different games.
Yeah the 1650 is a solid overclocker, but I like the 1650 v2 better, even at lower clocks the single threaded performance is better. I got a nice 1650 v2 so it actually overclocks pretty high as well.
@@presidentsad7217 yeah I had that 1650 at 4.9Ghz tho so single threaded was still solid. It took some cooling mind you! I attempted to replaced it with a 1650 v2 but it wouldn't go over 4.6Ghz so wasn't actually any better for me. Now I've got a 1680 v2 that I run at 4.4Ghz with my shiny new 3060 ti. I changed from 1080p 120hz to 1440p 100hz so the drop in clock speed now doesn't matter and I get more cores to play with.
Matt4ck nice, the 3060 ti is definitely a 1440p card, I play at 1080p 165hz and I find my 980 ti doing a decent job. I don’t have as much time to play games anymore because of school, but having something really powerful to upgrade to gives me some reassurance. I wonder how a 3080 and a 1680 v2 would do at 1440p because when bf6 comes out I might upgrade and 3000 series cards should hopefully be widely available.
@@presidentsad7217 it would most likely do a pretty good job. It would almost certainly bottleneck a 3080 to some degree but would anyone notice? The 1680 v2 is worth a look if you have everything else already and it's just a drop in upgrade. Or just for the curiosity since they're a bit interesting. I was just really lucky when I got my 3060 ti but I'm also short on free time so I've not really stretched it's legs yet. The 980 ti will still do well at 1080p so you have time to wait for the 3000s to show up.
Do you think my FPS will go up if I upgrade from an i5 750 to an i7 860? Would the threads matter? Running an RX 580
Definitely! Though a Xeon equivalent (X3440, 50, 60, or 70) would likely be cheaper, more durable, and give a more stable overclock.
My system is still rocking an i7 860. I only overclocked it to 4GHz though with my good old NH-D14 Noctua cooler which I had to slice up a bit to fit my memory. It's probably time to start saving for an upgrade but at least I can say I got good value out of it.
I don't game, but one thing you have to bear in mind with this CPU with how well it holds up is when comparing it to what was out only 1-2 years prior. Those are completely obsolete now, but the first gen i7s are still kicking ass... albeit slowly.
still have an i7 860 pc as a second computer overclocked to 3.6ghz. and it runs pretty much every game out there set at medium/high settings 1080p at 30-60fps. last game i played was control at 1080p, get around 40-50fps custom settings med/high. i play destiny 2 on it, get 80-100fps on ultra. GPU is a gtx980ti
What about if your playing at say 1440P where it becomes a GPU bound scenario?
Running an X3440 @ 3.52GHz with an R9 Fury Nano. Gets 60+FPS in The Division 2 on medium settings, and only starts to bottleneck while streaming with Discord in the background. Usually pretty balanced, 80-95% CPU usage while streaming in heavy firefights (missions, Dark Zone, etc.) Only using 8GB DDR3, so 16GB might help, too lol.
im very curious about this test honestly love old hardware for some weird reason lol
could you do the same on Sandy or ivy? would love 2c how 2600k holds up
The i7-2600 is like 30% faster so it would be much closer
As I am waiting for Ryzen 3 I am currently using the xeon x3440 at 4Ghz with a GTX 1080ti. Why? because at 1440p ultrawide the difference between my cpu and a 9900K is still marginal. I got way more FPS with the upgrade from VEGA 64 to GTX 1080ti. I am now hitting 70-120FPS in Apex Legends where before there was a 20 FPS decrease across the board.
However it is interesting to see that with lowering the setting or res FPS won't increase... not even a bit.
My 980x is stable up to 5ghz. Pushed it further but the ac couldn’t keep up with it and temps were getting ridiculous
I had an old Alienware with that same cpu and upgraded to the 875k. I was seriously impressed
at 12:40 in the video im running that same CPU and with an MSI RX 570 8GB its actually about a 47% bottleneck for the gpu even running around 4GHz
I ordered my I7 860 from Newegg in 2009 along with MSI GD-80 Motherboard and have been using it ever since. Originally had an ATI 4870(which I had to change out after Windows 10 3rd update due to no driver support for 2 monitors by AMD), had to add a 1050 and had 4TB of photos. .Never had a downtime with this system since I built it. Still takes care of everything I need it to do. Can play any game I want but do not do a lot of that as 3D graphics makes me nauseous after a few minutes of play. Added a SSD and a USB 3 add in card and changed case to a Corsair 200R, Everything else is the same as 10 years ago.
im currently on a core i7 990x running at 4668.6 this is my daily driver! using a amd radeon Armour 580 4 gig x's 2 ..just got into pc "modding" lol im way way way behind but w/e i can still play aaa titles and get a 65-156 fps depending on the game! all ultra settings in 1080p haven't tried 2 or 4k yet... runs at a nice and toasty 65-78 c under load idle temp of 34-42 ish idk i love this machine oh and my cineabench score is 986 is the best i can do so far! im tweaking it to get it to a 4.8 ghz maybe 5....doubtful! but maybe lol any advice would be awesome
mitch h upgrade cpu best advice keep the 580 u will def feels tons of diference in newer games
1.gen not any good? I had my 920 until this year running at 4.1ghz. And it has hyperthreading...
i'm still rocking it ... just upgrade my old 1156 gateway board with a Asus P55 found for free and overclock it a 3.8 on a Evo hyper 212 with the mythic Samsung 30 nm Green PC3-12800 Low Profile DDR3 ...doing pretty fine for now !
how did the i7 860 fair without the overclock on games man i am gonna upgrade my i5 660 to i7 860 and don't want or can bother with the cooler new motherboard etc. so would like to know how it did stock also my gpu will be a gtx 1060 3gig and this pc of mine is for old titles like 2000-2013 titles any newer ones i'm fine with 720P ultra settings and that's it
I have that exact same mobo but its the SLI version of the P55, solid AF MOBO
I know I hit x58 with a xeon X5650 with a 4.9 or 5.1gz steady clock speed, can't remember exactly but it was probably 5.1ghz, but got 1213 points on cinebench r15 with it.
I had an 860 in my old editing box. Nice power for the time when handling tough tasks like video editing.
Yup, was using an 870 up til a few years ago for 1080p editing and photoshop.
The i3 550 and all dual cores on 1156 are 32nm actually, i wish my i7 860 was 32 instead of 45
I remember overclocking my xeon x3440 to 4Ghz with my EVGA P55 LE, good old times....
My friends watercooler leaked and killed his PC so I gave him my old x3450 cpu and the same gigabyte board from the video and on a $20 cooler I got it to 4.4ghz stable with below 70 degree temps. Those xeons are little beasts.
I had that board with a 3.2Ghz i3 and got it to run at 4.2Ghz, I got it to 4.3Ghz but stayed at 4.2Ghz just because of it heating up.
Why did my score only get 208 on cine bench at 4ghz?
I still use one day to day, paired with an rx 580 and my experience is fine, it's faster than most i3s and it games just fine. I cant overclock mine tho cuz my mobo is an oem
Xeon x3470 (i7 860) 3.96 ghz on mine anything after that results in a BSOD. It holds back my rx 570 by quite a bit in modern games.
lmao same here with almost same cg (mine is a RX 570 8gb), stills pretty fine
Doing good for its age!
Lack of avx(2) instruction sets is a question mark for me, playing future games as few of them from ubisoft, if i remember correctly, require avx. Imo its dead platform, sandy bridge is minimum for budget gaming if you expect some life in the future.
Sandy isn't much better, but certainly is much more expensive if you're looking for a proper 8 thread CPU that can be overclocked. Ivy was a step up, pce 3.0 and lower power usage, that means you don't get massive stuttering on gpu's with low vram.
Still using an I7 870 and 1060 6gb in 2020...still game at 1080p 60htz. Probably upgrading when the next gen stuff comes out this year, held out for a long time lol
If you can, get your hands on a core i7 980x and OC it. I had one I sold to a buddy, over clocked to 4.8 GHz. I kinda wish I'd kept it, better OCer than my Xeon.
I ran a pc with an i7-860 with a Zotac GTX 560 from 2010 to 2018. Offered it to Timmy Joe for some nostalgic benchmarking but he never took me up on it
i7 860 stock or OC i'm asking cause i have the i5 660 and will be upgrading to i7 860 this is for my retro gaming system i.e 2000-2013 games i will be pairing it with the 1060 3gig and yeah can't OC due to having a Hp stock motherboard and yeah
Trying to do a 10 year old pc build..... pulling my hair out. I want to give up, posting is so iffy.... but with the w3670 in it I was able to pull a ~840 in r15. I cant get it to post every time even on defaults so I cant get the 2133 ram clocks and cpu oc together

Guys would you rather have a Hyper 212 Black Edition cooler or an Artic Freezer 34?
Puny Americans in mother Russia all pc's are vodka cooled chilled by Russian winter
At this point i think you should base it off of looks unless cooling is very important to you. If it was the RGB Black edition I would take that but if the Arctic one you are talking about is the esports duo and the Hyper 212 is not rgb, I would personally take the arctic but this is really up to you.
hyper 212 evo was good. My 2600k ran at 4.8 ghz daily on it, while gaming temps hit near 70 degrees max with that oc.

@@larsw6076 Lol, no. I had like 7 2600k chips on me, i bought them cheap and sold them for more. And i took the time to test every chip (pretty much) and kept the best overclocker. I do not remember the volts, but it was below 1.4 to get stable 4.8 ghz. The motherboard was a z77 series one, huge one as i remember, vrm-s were under the cooler and everything.
I've got an i7 720 mobile, it's almost as fast in cinebench as my desktop 6600k overclocked to 4.5ghz but throws out about 4 times as much heat.

Sure it can
I use it. With 90°C at full load with 8 cores on 2.8GHz
If anyone is reading this, i have i7 860 , gtx 1060 3gb, 16gb ram... is it worth upgrading to a newer cpu? From what ive seen this cpu is good but I really need a boost in frames etc.
Coming from someone with a 1060 6gb and a i7 870 over clocked to 3.7, id say it all depends on your needs. For me personally, as long as i can get 60 fps with medium-ultra settings, on my 23 inch 1080p monitor, im good....which my rig manages pretty reliably so no complaints here. I imagine your 860 shouldnt be too far from mines, but the 860 might be holding it back abit.
If i was in your position, i would either stick with the 860 for the time being if you manage to oc it abit and can settle with 45-60 fps in most modern games 900-1080p res....Or you could upgrade cpu to a simple ryzen 1600-2600x cpu ( whichever your budget allows), and be done with it lol. Th BIGGEST problem with our systems, is that we're still on ddr3, so youd have to upgrade the motherboard, and ram aswell to be able to upgrade cpu. Its a damn hassle for sure, hence why im content with my rig for atleast another yr or 2, before making the big switch.
Best of luck with whatever you decide though, honestly im sure you're rig has alittle bit of life left in it before you make the big switch.
Edit: Just realized too, that your 1060 might actually be a problem aswell since you cant go over 3gb of vram, so graphic options are limited big time. Ive noticed many games pretty easily going over 3gb vram once you raise a couple of the visuals settings up. I also remember reading somewhere that the 3gb version is also abit weaker overall compared to the 6gb, so that may be a reason why im able to maintain 60 with my 6gb.
I still run mine to this day, I have to say this CPU was ahead of it time. I bought mine back in 2010 and have been using it for 11 years now never really gave me hassle. Mine runs warzone on medium with 80fps and assetto corsa 69fps ultra with mods, I have also overclocked mine and it runs at 3.46GHz not messed with volts or anything apart from core clocks. It temps are around 30 to 40 on ideal and running warzone with medium and the CPU being on 100% 69C peak never seen it go higher temps and I play it around 4 to 5 hours a night. Also my office is in the attic so it gets 32C in there and she keeps going, this cpu is really good it’s not as fast with ram speeds ETC but it is still a good work horse. My specs are I7 875 K 3.46GHz 4 sticks of 1600MHz DDR3 Ram from Corsair, ASUS P7P55D-E motherboard, Renier heat sink Christmas edition, EV3A 750 GQ Power supply and Radeon sapphire rx 590 nitro 8gb+ .
dose that motherboard have wifi and can I run windows 10 on it
As someone who used to main an i7 870 with an RX 480. my FX 8320 at 4.5ghz at times was quite a bit better than my old i7 870 or Xeon x3470. I didn't win the lottery on my i7 870. and only got 3.5ghz out of it, tried 4.0ghz. or anything higher than 3.5, tried different voltages, etc. couldnt do much, but my FX 8320 OC'd like a champ. and is much faster in alot of cases vs my old i7 870. I remember going to the GTX 770 from my 660 Ti on it, and it was quite the difference back in 2016. but then a bit later, got an RX 480, and alot of the times, the fps didnt feel much different. But then my P55 board started having issues with my ram slots, and i'd have to swap the Dimms out and re arrange them til the board was happy booting with it and actually doing dual channel instead of locking to single channel. but ended up getting a Gigabyte AM3+ board with an FX 8320 as a christmas gift from my father since my main was fucking up and wouldnt run with my RX 480 anymore oddly. and now, alot of my stuff runs so much better. And seeing your last video on the FX 8320 or 8350, it seemed to handle the Radeon VII like a champ. not too bad at 1080p. but was damn good at 1440p and 4k. and seeing the 2070 at 1080p do that on an 860. i didnt think there was that big of a difference given i dont own some of these games yet. but holy crap...
Just got this processor from ebay for $20, since my motherboard has the lga1156 socket, this was the highest processor i could get, and well I'm not dissapointed, paired with an RX 580 8gb, And 16gb ram, I can run a lot of games, in high settings, and it runs super well, i don't really play with a 4k tv and stuff but I'm pleased with the results of this i7
if i had a replacement id send you my i7 990x so you could do a is it worth it in 2019 video
My son currently games on an i7-870 @3.5ghz with a 1050ti and all his games (World of Warships, Farming Simulator, subnautica among others) play very well at 1080p medium settings with near 60fps performance across the board. A first-gen i7 is still a very relevant processor for casual-medium gaming if you keep your expectations and settings realistic.
I just slapped together a first gen i5 with a Gigabyte 960 and it plays pretty much all new games at 1080 no problem!
My main gaming rig has an i7 870, got it for $50 motherboard included, incredible.
i7 860 stock or OC and also whats the setup and howsit run games thus far?
Am currenty using an i7 860 with a GTX Titan black, 12gb ram and am pretty much happy with my setup 😊
Ayyyyy, i wasn't expecting to see a video on my old cpu. i used to run it, upgraded from an i3 550, to the i5 750 and then the i7 860. then from there i5 4590, 4770k then my r5 2600. it was an alright cpu but i wouldn't pair anything more than a 960 with it. the i7 860 is now in my moms rig
hey man how would this setup fair on older titles well most older titles like dead space 1 or prototype 1
CPU: i7 860 stock
GPU: GTX 1060 3gig
Ram: 8gig DDR3
OS: 700gig HDD later will move to SSD
PSU: 500W Corsair
this is inside a OEM HP compaq 8100 elite tower with an OEM motherboard and my budget is very tight so can't upgrade the motherboard for sometime otherwise i wouldn't have bought this OEM pc due to it's age and rather have stuck with the newer i5's or even a i7 3770 setup but yeah
@@erikbritz8095 it'll probably be fine for older titles, and the gpu is fine, and can play modern games. it's mostly that cpu i'm worried about though, i mean you can probably play newer titles fine aswell but you'll probably be bottlenecked pretty hard. even my i5 4590 held back my 1060 in far cry 5
@@LateNightFire wow do you have the 3gig version or 6gig and also see i'm just scared i get the combo and the bottleneck even happens on old as dirt titles cause legit the newest title i want to try is the forest and even then i will play at 720P ultra or 1080P low if i have to cause atm i have a GT 430 temp card which sucks
@@erikbritz8095 i have the 3gb version. the 1060 3gb will demolish that game lol, and the cpu won't hold it back *to* much, you just won't get alot of fps in high fps titles. if you just want 60fps the i7 860 will be fine.
@@LateNightFire thanx man cause see i have the i5 660 and will be paring it first with the gtx 1060 then when i get the cash buy the i7 860 & an SSD and bam my pc will be fine the 3gig is perfect for if you want to try newer titles at lower res and play older titles at max to high settings which kinda makes it the best Retro pc gpu just a lil expensive hopefully the new 1650 means prices drop for the 3gig
Still gaming with an i7 860, need to upgrade soon for bf2042. But it doesn't seem to bottleneck the rtx 2070 though! I have an gtx 980 and only get 60ish fps average in BFV on low/mid. I do run everything stock though, maybe time to OC it for now!
Wait, people have problems hitting 200 BCLK??? I've used several P55/H55 boards and several i7-860s/Xeon X3440s and they all do 200 BLCK with no effort whatsoever. Also, I'm surprised you can't get the 950 over 4 GHz, I've had 2 920s, both doing around 4.3 GHz
I beat your score today on i7 870. 662 @ 4224mhz.
Miss Tinkering Timmy Joe. Do more.
Eyyy, I was using an i7 870 until last year and gave it to my dad. I have to say, it's still very useful
ASRock also made a P67 motherboard that supported the 1156 processors
Are you certain that IHS is not soldered?
Lynnfield i5 700 and i7 800 series are not soldered; i3s are wierd in that the cpu side is not soldered but the integrated graphics chip is. This information comes in part from my own experience as well as information from TechYesCity. I have a delidded i7 875k at 4.2ghz.
