BitMaster Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Since my motherboard went dead last Thursday I am giving away my Intel i7-2600k D2-A7 ( best stepping there was ) that runs on 4.8/1.35V-5.0/1.40V GHz if you own adequate cooling. Since I have no 2nd Socket-1155 motherboard I cannot test the CPU but I am confident the CPU is intact, anyway, it will come for free. If you own a Socket-1155 Motherboard plus good cooling I am willing to give it away, aka send it to you worldwide ( if customs etc. allow.. need to sort that out once we know where it goes to ). So, please apply :) Bit 7 Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Totally unsure tbh ! For DCS a Z-97 based 4790k is all you need I guess BUT it could well be that the new 7700k that comes soon will surpass ( finally ) the old King of single thread..and already at 4.5 GHz. Need to look a bit, save some bucks and then decide when the Z270 hits the market FYI: I only DCS on this rig, for work I use Mac and basically any PC/linux/mac I can grab that runs VPN and RDP, so I can taylor this ONLY for MY game ;) Edited October 25, 2016 by BitMaster 1 Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie87 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Aww man! I'm running a sandybridge i5 too and would love to step up to an i7. If anyone else decides to give one away let me know lol. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG-Vampire Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) K guys. Thanks for the kind, the funny-jealous :D and for the congratulation messages what I got in PMs. CPU is on the way. BitMaster just left the post office. :) Big thanks to him :thumbup: Some people asked what will I do my "former" i5 processor. Unfortunately I don't know yet. Not decided yet. If the i7 CPU is arrived then I will need to run some tests on it. AFAIK sometimes a faulty Mobo can damage the CPU also, so first, I will check that. Hopefully the CPU is intact as BitMaster wrote. After that I will need to reinstall everything. I guess. Windows, DCS all programs. I don't know yet what will need/cause the new processor. If everything is OK, probably I will giving away my "former" i5-2500K CPU for free, as well as BitMaster. But no promises now. Sorry, my sim-companions. We will see what future brings.

BitMaster Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 yes, deactivate and...if you own 10, bind it to your Hotmail account to have one more way to activate/deactivate it from certain hardware and have an easier re-activation....read google about it before you void a win10 lic ! Still, I would sooner or later do a fresh 10 install, it certainly pays back over time.

BitMaster Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) same? 100% same pal !! :) you are lucky hehe now clock the hell out of it :D P.S.: All I did to OC was raise the core Volts in Asus AI Suite to 1.35 for 4.8GHz. I did not need to change ANY other setting but this. You may enable those OC functions on the mobo, LLC etc... to modest settings, "extreme" settings for those Auto-Volts and Spectrum Changers often will yield a less overall overclock on this CPU. Just some tips how mine behaved on my board Edited October 27, 2016 by BitMaster Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) i've been at 5GHz for sometime in summer, back to 4,5. seeing what happened to your MB, i think i'll better stay on the safe side for now, can't afford new hardware atm :D I think, I ruined my board cause I didnt put the VRM watercoolers on it 18month ago when i put it together. The constant higher Volts on those parts must have taken its toll, looking at the standard heat-transfer mushroom like tape I dont wonder anymore and do know now why I will watercool them in the future, just to make sure I have a good quality heat-diss-tape between the VRMs and whatever cools them down. I made my choice and will go with a Z-97 board and a 4790k chip, thus keeping my 16GB ( 2x8 ) 2400er RAMs and will be thru with 380€ net. X99 is too old and has many mixed reviews...only makes sense with 6+ core CPU's which I dont want for DCS. Z170...nahh the 6700k is not my choice either, DDR4-2133 is same or even slower than my 2400 DDR3 afaik and the 4x NVMe...well...I just bought half a dozen 850-Pro SSD's for all machines..I dont need NVMe for now, skip it, rather more RAM, double up to 32GB :) I really hope I am fortunate with the Silicon Lottery on that 4790k....most dont really overclock well :( Aiming 4.6+ at least or I am slower than with my 2011 CPU LoL ( Intel, wth are you doing ?? ) At 4.8 or faster on my 2600-k I could see my 1 core not being maxed out, hitting another limiter I guess, so I'd assume anything 4.5 or faster is over the ridge and wont get faster. Something else limits it. I am no coder and no DX junkie but its gotta be somewhere in that corner.

PureEvil Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 atm 6700K costs less than 4790K here in finland, so if i had to pick one now, i'd pick newer tech, live next 3 years in pain (until waranty runs out) and then delid cpu lol or pick used and no-waranty 4790K and delid now ))) STEAM asus p8z68-v gen3, 2600k@4,5ghz(w/c), 16gb, 1080ti(w/c), ch fighterstick/gvl224-4000-8, ch pro throttle, Oculus Rift CV1+Touch, thrustmaster tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
