Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 7: Core i7's of Yesteryear

[Doomer]

Tho Pascal is not gonna win this one for sure he will do nice getting himself a amd r7 1700
Overclocking to 3,7 is a breeze for all cores even with a stock cooler to still be quite silent.
Ofcourse you need a kid for the cm hyper 212 to make it even better!
For the best experience get some ddr4-3200

 

[theultr4]

The open case style looks quite awesome

 

[SupaJ]

Hal looks to be the winner?

 

[Shal2689]

Joel deserves the win. Good luck to all

 

[Fileko]

All LGA 1366 guys can buy 6 cores Xeon Westmere, very cheap on Aliexpress. Good luck to Pascal and HAL.

 

[Solarak]

Love the name Lunareye!

 

[LuiGinDe]

Hallam seemsto be a cool dude
He gets my vote.
My second choice was Pascal for having kids that play Titanfall 2 xD
Simply the best fps out there...

 

[islandgam3r]

Good luck everyone, may the best Core i7 system win

Hey Steve, any chance you will be dealing with Intel Haswell Generation upgrades any time soon? I'm asking because since the very 1st episode of Upgrade My PC I submitted mine, but you didn't do that gen yet =(

 

[Imraan]

I guess we know if going to win, but Joel has trouble booting people

 

[islandgam3r]

Walter Lunar eye gets my vote! Come on guys, you gotta give this guy some support!

 

[Skrit]

Pascal FTW. Cheers!

 

[Keemu86]

Go potato or go home.

 

[Donito Abarca]

Who would not vote HAL on this one? He deserves the upgrade!

 

[Rachieru Mihai]

HAL ‘Dignified Potato Masher . Nice ideea with the case

 

[Duncan Mcloud]

Really nice case there Hal

 

[Claymor22]

Good luck guys

 

[PromethBastard]

Nice work Hal! The zip tie usage is crazyawesome.

 

[NGnius]

Good luck Pascal!
I'm also slightly entertained by Pascal (already) having a Pascal GPU...

 

[Mokkat]

Having had my 2500K struggle on slow *** 1333mhz ram, I'm going to have to give my vote to Walter

 

[RishiL]

Loving that case mod! Definitely shows a nice blend of creativity and PC enthusiasm.

 

[Cristian D]

Gotta vote for the potato, I remember that blue heatsink of H55 Asus boards when I was looking to build a PC. Brings back memories of being younger and poorer.
I was "lucky" enough to not have money until Sandy Bridge came out.

 

[MustacheLegend]

Good luck everyone!!

 

[MeoMicha]

Good luck Pascal, you have my vote !

 

[Crakajakjohnson]

Good Luck all!

 

[Nemesis Destiny]

Voting for the Smilodon from Canuckistan. First time a Ryzen 7 upgrade has been indicated IIRC. The Dignified Potato Masher is really cool though. I'm also considering doing a DIY with wood and an old coffee table for my next build...

Good luck contestants!
