I had a feeling that ryzen would mark the end of x58 considering you can get a 6c/12t chip with 6800k performance for 210-220 bucks retail basically. It'll be sad to see this place die down more than it already had.
I came here about 2 and a half years ago and got burpo's help with my horrible...
I've had boards that cant do a full 200 on the blck which is why I like to go a bit higher, my nephews build I did with a 10 buck e5640 is like that and only hits 181 on the board.
The x5660 I had in my gf's system could do 4.4ghz on all cores but required 1.35v, which I feel is pretty good.
Each one gives higher multipliers, which is why the x5670 is the sweet spot generally. all core multi goes from 22 to 23 with the x5660 if I recall, same thing with the x5670 at 24.
On ebay they still command a pretty penny I imagine ($150 US seems like the average from the time of posting), but this was through local channels on the craiglist in my area, obviously doubt the guy knew what he had which is why I took advantage of it.
Also the 980x goes for like 2-3 times the...
Decided to post what I got setup as my gf's pc, its more power than she'll ever need but it was cheaper in the end to sell off her previous g3258/mobo combo and a couple other things and change to this.
Found the x58 Sabertooth for 50 local on my craigslist and got the x5660 for 55 off ebay...
Been a while since I've been on here, but I managed to get a x58 sabertooth off my local craigslist for 50 bucks :D. So I was looking on ebay for some xeons and a guy was willing to do 55 on a x5660 and I wasnt familiar with the highest multipliers you could get since I only owned a x5650 the...
Anything would work in all honesty, since youre just cooling a quad core and not one of the hexacore cpu's. but I managed to get one of the 34 buck h100i refurbs mailed to me so I know how good the prices are on those aio's and I have to say I'm happy with mine for that price.

Oh dear jesus I have no need for it but I want it so badly.
Anybody who lives in the ks/mo area or can convince this guy to ship, you'll be one lucky mofo.
Yeah I'm not really a rendering guy nowadays since I dont do any editing, which is the only reason i changed to a more per core performance related setup for gaming. But I do have my original cpu/mobo/ram still sitting around in case I do plan on doing something with it.
edit: Well also it...
Yeah i know :P
I only went with it because of the price and being able to overclock to get the same multicore performance of my x5650 while getting way higher single core and newer board features.
I actually moved on from my x58 platform a few days ago. Found an i7 3770k/Asus Maximus V Formula deal for only 220 bucks on craigslist, and after overclocking it to 4.6ghz the multithreading performance is equal to my x5650@4.2ghz but my single core score went from 123 to 167 on cinebench, as...
I found a guy selling this for 450 dollars http://kansascity.craigslist.org/sop/5044289848.html
I'm currently running a x5650@4.2ghz and was thinking this would be a nice upgrade since I'm running a ga-x58-ud7 and 6gigs of ram alongside it.
But does anyone know if this would give any sort...
I wasn't even a pc gamer till 2007 after I saw a church friends computer playing call of duty 4 and I was like I have to get in on this, so since then I've only had 2 computer builds.
My first build was a x2 5200+ with 2gb of ram and an 8800gt, then when I got into college 2 years later I used...
