Sandy bridge is GOLD🤩 One year ago I tested i7 3930k at 4.7GHz with my Asus Rampage iv Black Edition and I was surprised by the results! In gaming i7 was pretty much always better than my ryzen 7 3700x that was in my personal build😆 As always, really nice video😁💪🏻 Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹😎
My newest build this year will be around a 3970X, as I'm always quite a few generations back. Upgrading from i7 920 from 2009. But, I rarely play games and just enjoy snappy computing and not spending much. With a tempered glass case and all RGB sync fans, 850W PSU, A750 Intel ARC, and 64GB Corsair,I have about $400~ in it all. Main board and cpu are second hand. Board came with a 3930, so $32 for a 3970X seemed like a nice deal with two more cores and better clocks.
Got the CPU and got the Rampage motherboard too. Yes they where stupidly expensive when I bought it, but dam that CPU and MB were a beast of a combination at the time and I had the cash to splash. I can honestly say best CPU and MB I ever owned. I still use them in my daily driver PC for gaming and when I finally upgrade and build my new PC this year, I'll be passing it down to my young nephew he'll at least get a few good years gaming with it for sure.
@Nexus Tech as someone who use to run sandy bridge E disable specter and meltdown using inspectre for 25%-40% increase in fps. fps is lower due to the newer mitigations causing bottlenecks in the cpus microcode
Best too use Atlas OS or Chris Titus too completely remove that junk lies of Intel. You can also run scripts since Atlas OS does remove windows updates.
🔥200W at idle, woah🔥 Just a suggestion if it possible to remove the Pentium 4 result on Blender and Handbrake and probably other benchmarks as it seems to skew the scaling of the graph. Nice video as always!
great video. stock results are very important as most people get used office pcs that can't overclock. the fx and first gen i7 always pleasantly surprise, while sandy bridge seems to work great if games properly utilize the cpu (it's weird how the 2700k gets 90fps in your video but in icebergtech video the 2680v2, albeit at 3ghz but with 10 cores gets 68fps)

I JUST built my newest system using Windows 10 enterprise LTSX IoT. Good to 2032, as I believe in less e-waste. I screwed up and got an ARC A750, which won't work with Gen3 I7 :( I do have my 8GB GDDR5 GTX 1070 Overclock Edition (runs with 1080Ti stock and 2050Ti in some areas) I'll get a 3060 for it when I can.

For 1080P gaming I'll need a vid card for sure in my "new to me" I7 3970X with 64GB high performance RAM. Making up for the DDR3 to be as good as junk sticks of DDR4 I see sometimes. I have a synced 6X 120mm fan RGB kit too. So if I stumble on money, I'll get something like an I7 12th gen, good board, 128GB DDR5, and use my Intel A750 AI based card.

Heck, when I get a 3060 for this puppy, it'll run any modern games on decent setting for the 2-3 hours a year I play). If you have a 3970X system, buy the performance DDR3 Corsair (tall sticks-red color can't remember the name, but is 1600MHz. And NOBODY buy a new rig for Win11. 2021 Windows 10 LTSC IoT version (supported to 2032!). Screw e-waste when you don't need it. Got 15 years from the i7 920, and Mother will get that one to replace her 2nd Gen I3 4GB Dell. For the mere fact of MS trying to fill the world with e-waste is disgusting. Win11 is overrated and any good IT guy can stay safe without the secure boot/TPM 2.0. the A79 pro has a replaceable BIOS in case it is compromised anyway.
Imagine using this chipset just for the ultimate Windows XP PC build with GTX 980 Ti or Titan X whereby only 2 cores are fully utilized 😂. While I don't see the reasons to buy that chipset due to higher power consumption & i7 3770 chipset is already more than good enough, it is still a decent performer for 1080p gaming. Perhaps pairing it with RX 6700/6800 (XT or non XT), dual boot ChimeraOS & Windows 10 (preferably LTSE) and boom, an interesting PC build to last for a few years.
How do you cool this cpu at 1.5 volts and 5GHz? Are the test done at full clock speed or is it throttling? I have a 3930k and simply due to the thermal resistance limits, unless you use a sub ambient temperature, you are limited by the cpu silicon itself and these crap out above 200 watts TDP due to a relatively low throttling temperature of 91 celcius. I would guesstimate for 5GHz, you will be pulling 225-250 watts and something doesnt add up here.
Still using a 3960x on an Asus Sabertooth X58 for all of my “pre 2015” gaming. There’s nothing wrong with this stuff, honestly. We’re keeping E-waste out of the dump as well, so it’s a win-win? 😁
Yeah, I think I got a bit overly excited, lol. The x58 is running an i7 980. The x79 board isn’t a Sabertooth board, it’s an Alienware Aurora R4 with the original motherboard. Thanks for correcting that 🤦♂️ Point still stands with the X58 platform as well though, as long as you aren’t playing anything super new.
@@keithzobel8561 X58 is definitely my favorite platform of all time. My main PC was on X58 in 2013-2023, first with a Xeon W3520 (i7-920), later W3550 (i7-950) and since 2016 on a X5670 6c/12t @ 4.4GHz. It did well in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 etc. with a GTX 1080. My main PC is now on X299 with an i9-10900X and the same GTX 1080. Whenever I upgrade to a faster card I'll put the 1080 back in to the X58 system.
@@ProcessedDigitally no no ma duderino, 50w is like a full swing, did benchmark and at 15w its like 40% of the full all core performance, which is still better than this one.
I had a 3930k paired with the Rampage IV Formula and upgraded to the e5 1680v2, I even modified the bios to boot from NVME.
You can also add rebar support to it with a bios mod

Always enjoy your vids. I used to have the 3960x but on an x79 Intel board and it wouldn’t overclock very well. Look forward to more vids.
I love the contrast with the old P4 in there xD.

Holy moly, I would love to see that as well, those Xeons are such interesting chips... Great video idea.
When you were making HD 630 vs GT 710 video why didn't you use 2gb vram model of 710 instead of 1gb version??
