Weekend Open Forum: What CPU powers your computer?

2500K @ 4.6GHz

The one. The only. i7-2600k.

Wow that's some impressive mileage you've gotten from the E8500, I had a GTX 460 with an E8400 and when I upgraded to a Core i5 760 I noticed a really good bump in performance. With a 480 you should notice it even more if you upgrade the CPU, especially in games that use quad core.

Yeah, I can't complain about the mileage on this. The build originally had Vista and a GTX 260. I'll likely keep plugging along with this until the CPU or motherboard dies, or until I win the lottery. Might be a while; my very first build from 2005 is still running nicely in our bedroom - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (socket 939).

I have a i7 920. I was planning on upgrading to Broadwell K. But if it's a 65w chip, the Devil's Canyon will kick it's butt. Not sure if I want to wait till Q4 for Skylake K. If R390x or 980ti are as big of an upgrade as rumored, I may just go with Devil's Canyon.

Currently running AMD FX8350 in game box... FX-8320 in my 12TB NAS and a FX6200 in a media server
and an Athlon dual core in a web/teamspeak server.

FX8250 is soon to be retired to a backup as I'm going to dump AMD on my main gaming box and gradually
transition to InHell(intel) in everything as AMD just isn't working for me anymore after 20+ years..
no DDR4 support anytime soon in their high end CPU's nor do they have PCIe 3 chipsets
Bah.... AMD is failing on the upper echelon CPU market..

I have an amd x2 370k in my little rig. Handles alien isolation at near max setting paired with my hd7770. Will be upgrading to the athlon x4 860k black edition soon. Or the 370k I forgot which it was. Amd has alwYs done me justice. Also nice to see someone else bere owned an amd phenom 2 x6. I had a 2.8 ghz thuban edition a couple years back. Did the job well but I fried it.

I'm running an Intel Core i7-3770k without overclock that I put together early last year. It's going to have to last me a while and I'll overclock it when it starts noticeably showing its age.

Intel Core i7 - X990 @ 3.7GHz

Main system is still using i5-2500k and it still seems to be doing great but looking at a new video card upgrade right now. Over 3 years and going strong so far with just 2 SSD and video card upgrades. Upgrade bug is hitting me strong right now but with the upgrades I have done, the games, photoshop and encoding are still working well. Laptops are i5 mobile and 2 AMD APUs (A8 and A10) for some light gaming.

Shawn is there any chance you could give us a breakdown of the main CPU's the users here are using or post an interactive pie-chart so we can vote what we are using. Would be very interested to see what most are using these days and it is another way to help decide which CPU's are good for what budget levels. My family and friends don't always need the top of the line. Just a thought...

My everyday laptop uses an Intel Core i5-4210U with Integrated HD4400 graphics and 4 Gigs of RAM with a Samsung Evo840 240Gb SSD. Win 8.1 64bit

Also got an aging minitower (approx 2009) computer with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (12 megs of L3 cache!), 8 Gigs of RAM and a later added AMD Radeon R7-240 passively cooled graphics card. Currently not in use. Win 7.

We also use an Intel NUC with an Intel Core i3-3217u as a streaming PC. 8 gigs of Ram and Plextor 128 gig mSata SSD. Just for streaming. Primarely NFL gamepass. Win 7.

My faithful phenom x6 1100t clocked at 3,837ghz
After 4 years it is still playing all the games pretty well and not even considering changing it, maybe a little more overclocking, to top the 4ghz limit.

Asrock FM2A75 Pro4 motherboard
AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card

I am AMD fan, that's why AMD powered rig, which is working flawlessly

I've done the leapfrog thing with AM2/AM3 CPUs since about 2006 - did a couple of CPU upgrades before getting a newer back-compatible motherboard. Latest CPU is a Phenom II x4 965, used since Oct 2012. Overclocked from 3.4 to 3.8 GHz, but that's only to use for BOINC distributed computing projects. HD7850 graphics card. No gaming worth speaking of. I'll upgrade to a FX-83xx series CPU (or whatever the final AM3+ ends up being) in a couple of years.
