    I got my computer for free with an i7-870 on an Intel PD55SB with 16GB of ram and a Geforce GTX 680. I use it as my daily computer for everything, including gaming (CSGO, DOOM 2020 ...etc) on an Ultrawide 34' Monitor. I see no reason at the moment to upgrade to anything more powerfull.

    I just bought an i7-870 and another 5770 for crossfire. Replacing my oc i5-650 @4.4, which will be a backup or a cheap build for my parents. Very excited. No reason to shell out money when this P7P55D ASUS 1156 mobo still has life left in it.

      @eiki3501 2 роки тому

      That is a really good motherboard i have multiple of these still running. i7-870 can be ran at 4.0ghz easily on this board and remember memory controller in this chip is way better than i5-650, this also supports 2x8gb ram up to 16gb! If you have a decent ram kit 2133-2400mhz might be reachable, most can do atleast 2133mhz CL10.

    Running an old Gateway 4840, was a factory i5, installed the i7-870 as the fastest chip my mobo can handle. 16gb ram, SSD makes all the difference. Was running a GTX750ti but currently running a Radeon 7870. Gets me my KSP and Minecraft kicks.
    KSP2 is likely going to be my upgrading force.

My 750 is stable at 207, so is the x3440, but that one can't go over 19x. if i set it to 20x it likes to suddenly lower the multiplier to 16x under certain programs and stay there untill a reboot, which is very weird...
