i3 6100 to replace i7 920 @ 3.5GHz

So I had to back the Xeon down to 4GHz (182bclkX22@1.35vcore), but it is stable 24 hours running Prime95. At 4.4GHz it was stable, but running hot (90c) here in Hawaii's climate. My i7 920 could hit 4GHz @ 1.2vcore in its prime. All in all, I'm very happy with my PC now. Thanks for all the...

i3 6100 to replace i7 920 @ 3.5GHz

vcore is 1.265 or something close to it. Uncore I can't remember as I'm not at my PC ATM. I left all of the voltage settings the same as my i7 920.

So the xeon x5650 is installed and running at 4.4GHz Prime95 stable for 8 hours which is good enough for me.

i3 6100 to replace i7 920 @ 3.5GHz

Well, the gtx 970 is installed and Wow! This card is great! 1080p Ultra @ 60fps on just about every game I throw at it. Haven't even installed the Xeon x5650 yet. My i7 920 is running again at 4ghz. Just needed to make some small voltage tweaks. Not sure if the Xeon will even make a...

Will do. I struggled with deciding between r9 390 and gtx 970, but in the end went with the 970 because of it's project cars and witcher performance. Either of them would have been awesome, but I got a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC Gaming ACX 2.0+ Cooling Graphics Card (04G-P4-3975-KR) for...

I agree, I didn't even know my mb could take a xeon. Add the gtx 970 that's on the way and I think I'll be good for a couple more years.

Man, I wasn't even looking to upgrade gpu yet. But, since I saved some money with the xeon a 970 is on the way too.

It's a Gigabyte ga-ex58ud3r. The cpu support list says it works.

Scored a Xeon X5650 for $85. I'll try 4GHz right off the bat.

Yup, and through tweaking my mb again due to posting this thread I think I've stabilized it at 4GHz again with some small voltage adjustments. Oh well, thanks again everyone. Maybe now I'll get that gtx 970.

I did find a msi z97s & 4790k for $404. This is so temping. I also found and bid on a x5650 for $75. If I don't get the xeon I think I'll pull the trigger on the above. But, I think the xeon would be just fine.

Priced out that recommendation at about $330. I could do a i5-6500, z170 mb, 16gb ddr4 at $400. Which would be better in the next 5 years?

i3 6100 to replace i7 920 @ 3.5GHz

I'd like to replace the cpu or upgrade the platform proactively. I can't wait til it dies as I also use it as my home office PC. I'm not expecting a miracle or anything, but just looking for opinions on if I should stay with x58 platform or go for a less expensive z170, i3 setup now with...

No, my cpu is dying. I explain earlier in the thread.
