[Tip] Upgrade Core2Duo to play

[_Neptunno_]

@amd125:

I would mount the 3570K with a good heatsink, but some 2500K stretch a bit more in overclocking. In short, both are great processors.. :troll:. and meanwhile I'm holding on with my Q6600 at 3.2 and hoping it lasts :llorar:

The truth is that the Q6600 is a great processor, I have a lot of affection for mine even though it's used in the family PC :llorar:
But anyway, the day it dies, I'll reuse it for the second PC I have at my parents' house and leave the E6700 out of work :troll:

The truth is that with my i7 920 I've been amazed at how much Intel micros go up. I've almost set it to 2Ghz more than its stock speed, and I'm not even very experienced!!
Now I don't know if I have it at 3.8 or something like that, although for winter I think I'll turn it up and save on heating (just kidding, you wouldn't believe how cold it gets where I live, haha)
The truth is that a 2500k is a "terrifying" micro, and certainly the day it doesn't give more of itself, my micro won't either…

Anyway, whoever buys it, as I said before, it will be a great choice and you'll enjoy your "new baby" wonderfully.

Regards!!

P.D: I'm not planning to renew with my 920 and my GTX 670 for a loooong time. And if I do, please call me a compulsive consumer and ban me from the forum for a few months :ugly:

Done!

Not so fast! We need Mr. Dark available, to decimate the hordes of Trolls that are lurking for us.

Cheers! JUGÓN!

Well yes, the heatpipes are made of copper… well I appreciate the information, if it's compatible I'll use it for my new "baby"... hahaha

no man no, not the head pipes no... the thermaltake big typhoon vx I can't remember if it's the normal one (the one I had) or the "V" shaped one that had the copper fins version.
that was the question, anyway whether it's the normal or the "V" it's a great heatsink that I think will work very well for you.

Mother that disconnect!!!
Well, good news, I sold the c2d for 120 and the p4 for 50…jejejeje I think I got a good deal
Regarding the cooler, the fins are not copper, but if as you say, it is compatible with the board, I think the performance will be much better than the e series
A small doubt, I saw the 7870 for about 30 more than the 7850....what do you say? Is it worth it?

[Obione]

Yes, it's cool. You haven't got a single platform, right? As you said you're not into extreme OC, you can go for a Z75 Pro3 with the 3470. I think you can reach a multi of 38 with a Z and with a little bit of base clock you have 4GHz.

The 3470 is at 170€ and the Z75 at 85€ approx at pccomponentes, a pretty cool platform performance/price. Then you have 2x4GB Corsair Value for 35 euros, with the 7870 you'll have to indulge in conditions for a long season.

Editing: There has been a price movement, now the ideal is the 3570 for 180€, you would have the 4GHz without touching the base clock.

[CRASHON]

True, I still haven't caught anything.
The price of the board you mention doesn't have much difference with the z77... in fact I can get it for 86 €
The processor does have some difference... about 14 euros...
Guys we are still in time for recommendations jejejeje

I think you only lose the SSD caching and today if you mount an SSD it's not for caching.

[CRASHON]

Pues va a ser que no…pero ya me gustaria pillarme uno...a tanto no llego...

[CRASHON]

Caught the PB asrock z77 pro3 for 86.40…I think it's a good buy...now for the rest..and the best prices I've seen at pccomponentes...we're getting 3570, g skill and 7870????

Are you sure? Have you looked at Amazon?
It's a good buy for that board, you'll see :sisi:

[CRASHON]

if we talk about amazon.es….they are more expensive in the long run!!!
the problem is that the price of processors has gone up, now the difference between the 3570 and 3570k is 17 €
and the difference between the 7850 and the 7870 is 37....tell me something and I'll go crazy!!!!
what is clear is that if for spending 50€ more I give more life to the girl then I invest...but if you don't see it clear...

[Sylver]

They have certainly gone up… and I didn’t know…
Well, if it’s cheaper now on pccomponentes, go for it. The problem is that every day the price of each processor changes, it’s crazy. I bought mine when I saw the motherboard+microprocessor combo at a lower price, because it could go up the next day, and in fact right now on Amazon it costs almost 20€ more than what it cost me at the time
So when you see the opportunity, go for it.

Best regards

And this???
I certainly have a dilemma, because I have already bought the motherboard and I'm waiting to see if it goes down…buff...but of course, since I'm ordering, it's worth it to get a micro mem and graphics card and save on shipping costs...I think the 7870 for 222 is a good price....

[Sylver]

It also depends on availability, I have seen this summer the 2500K on backorder for around 230€ and I was left The graphics for that price I see quite well of course...

[CRASHON]

Well, I'll go for the 3570 and stretch to the 7870... I'll order it this afternoon, decided

[ferelxyx]

good choice

@CRASHON:

Bueno, ire a por,el 3570 y me estiro a la 7870….esta tarde lo pido, decidido

+1 :sisi:

Saludos

[CRASHON]

It's already ordered... about 560 in total, I'll try the ssd later... as always thanks to everyone, I'll tell you my first impressions of course.... it's a lot of money but considering what I got for the 2 computers and a mobile (280 in total) I think the upgrade came out well... I'm even excited!!!
