I have an i7 3770K. 32 GB RAM anr an RTX 4060 Ti 16GB graphics card. Playing Spider-man Remastered was great. I just modified the settings of the game and it runs flawlessly without stuttering. Enjoying this processor. Bought this I remember years ago. And still works great. Can play the latest AAA Games.
I had a customer last week with a sandy bridge 3770K pushing a 3060, and that PC was surprisingly capable. Wasn't as snappy and smooth as my i9 14900k or other customers 14th gen PCs, but the 3770K was fine. He wanted me to install a new PSU, and I got to test his rig out after. Whomever bought the i7 3770k at launch really made out.
I have been playing on this GPU for over 10 years LOL😂. At first people didn't recommend the i7 3770K because they thought HT was pointless, but a few years later games started using HT and I saw huge gains thanks to this feature (40-45fps vs 55-65fps in Shadow Of The Tomb Raider). This CPU was able to run pretty much every game in my Steam library at 60fps for 10 years (some games needed tweaking, but still look much better than PS4/XOX versions). Modern games (PS5 ports) however have destroyed this CPU (stuttering and 30-40fps dips), so I finally decided to upgrade to the AM5 platform and 7800X3D CPU. I will see how long the 7800X3D lasts, but I can always buy a 9800X3D in a few years without changing platforms.
I still run the thing, bought it when it was around 2 years old for 50€, best 50€ invested xD. I just kept changing gpus and 2 psu. Now paired with 3060ti still works wonders for games I play and tested. Star Citizen I tried is only exception, that game kills the PC.
all intel i7 series had almost same capabilities before amd shown up with ryzen after that intel started to adding new extra cores to their cpus i7 950 and 7700 has the same amount of cores with 4 cores and 8 threads however things got started to change with i7 8700 it has 6 cores and 12 threads.
I upgraded from my 3770k back in like 2018 or something, and it was disappointing because the upgrade was relatively minimal and almost unnecessary. In fact it seemed like kind of a downgrade for particular tasks. I upgraded GPUs two or three times before I had to upgrade that CPU. I could have easily got 10 years out of that thing.
Haa, incredible. I've just finished making small gaming rig and I'm totally impressed with result: old dell optiplex 7010 SFF with i7 3770 + RTX 4060 LP from Gigabyte + 2Tb SSD and exactly 24Gb RAM as you have. This thing is amazing - runs on stock 240w PSU and do all 1080p AAA games on ultra or very high! Temps in such tiny case are ~75 degC for both CPU and GPU! Got you video just in time.
You are right, it does. But it still pulls everything AAA on ultra or high. 7010 SFF has 7L size, 4 ram slots and all works from stock 240W PSU. This is super budget friendly built bought for the price of e waste 🙂 @@SamiBayasi
This motherboard is everywhere, and i mean EVERYWHERE. it is literally in so many dell and hp desktops i feel like anybody could buy a cheap gpu, this cpu and game
Agreed. This is my son’s daily driver and it just keeps cranking out game after game while he’s streaming and Discording. We’ll upgrade his setup to a i5-7500 later this month but I’m keeping this complete board and setup as a backup
I'm with you there. I have a 3770K and still have it on standby just in case my current setup with a Ryzen 5950X dies. I loved this processor and it was so good that I didn't upgrade until the 7700K came along - and that was only because I wanted something shiny and new while I transitioned that processor to my daughter.
Hold on to that 3770 machine, find some sort of use for it. I wish I hadn't cannibalized mine so much, there is something about that CPU that makes it performer with particular aspects of some of the programs and task I do. Photoshop and handling scratch disks, for example, is excellent on the thing
Man, that cpu is 50$ at my area. Which is crazy cuz I could snag Ryzen 5 2600 with that price. Their motherboard and ram is really cheap tho. Decent motherboard and 16GB ram is 10$ each.
If you are in the market for a i7-3770 consider the Xeon E3-1240 v2. Same performance for the most part, same core and theads, works in the same motherboards and costs less.
Yeah but if i'm not mistaking Xeons don't have integrated graphics so those who just want a better processor but still use the igpu will need to get a dedicated graphics card too
@@nushnume True, you could look at it like a i7-3770F. Idk who that would be an issue for though. Maybe ppl using quick sync for video editing or a smol business.
The same in cyberpunk with my i7 3770, I can go high but with low setting is reasonable a very good gaming perfomance! This processor was truly best in the mid of the 10s.

Last year, I got 3770 with Z77 board for $50 then 16GB of DDR3 2400 for $20... Can't run the RAM at its 2400 XMP profile but its stable at 2200Mhz CL10, and the CPU is also running stable at 4.1-4.3 Ghz OC
I've managed to snag a Ryzen 5 1600 AF for just 20$ recently, even when paying a little bit more it's still a better option than opting in for a 3rd generation intel where used motherboards for it can cost as much as new B450s for the Ryzen and you also give up NVMe support when opting for an old CPU. I wouldn't recommend going for such an old CPU, only if you had some bargain when purchasing old company PCs and you pay like 30$ for a whole PC with 3770 in it.
It is not without reason that this processor is still 11th on the popularity list among all processors tested by Technical City, three positions above its budget counterpart i5-3470, where other processors of this type from a similar release date start appear below 34 position.
The Dell midtower Optiplexes that support it (3010, 7010, 9010 MT) uses a standard 24pin ATX connector, so there is no need for adapters when switching out the PSU to utilize more powerful GPU's. The only caveat to that is that it can only drop-in fit non-modular standard size PSU's as modular ones are too long to install without dismantling the side panel door lorck.
i7 3770k can be paired with 32gb of ddr3 a couple of SATA3 SSD and a RTX 3060 for a pretty good gaming experience, and Win11 should be the OS to go in order to keep pc up-to-date. Despite having enough juice to run everything, if aiming for a DDR3 platform, i would go for an Fx8350 or i7 4790k, just to get a little extra extended life out of my money, since they were platforms that keep selling brand new up to 2016 and 2015 respectively
I7 3770k is still actually good in budget gaming pc with paired with a good gpu like rx 580-590 gtx 1660s doesnt bottleneck mutch used i7 3770k non oc before paired on a rx 580 2304sp and its great experience for 1080p gaming just oc the gpu for a bit and undervolt for better thermals and performance +
@@BittiPomo pcie gen 3 is a bad side for the rx 6600 would bottleneck a bit also but i consider the rtx 2060 would sacrifice the little chocking on the cpu
@@BittiPomo getting a good motherboard on it is good to max out the build just get an i7 3770k and oc it to 4.2ghz if it has a good cooling and oc the ram to 1866mhz would be a good build tbh but yeah gtx 1070ti or rtx 2060 is a win win
i have an Asus P8Z77-M motherboard running an intel core i7-3770K CPU at 4.2 GHz, with 16 GB of DDR3-1866 RAM (2 x 8GB), and an odd HP OEM nVidia RTX-2070 8GB GPU (but runs just fine), does everything I want on a 27" LG 4K IPS panel, even some light gaming - Overwatch 2, CS:GO, Second Life Firestorm and PUBG, all games at both 4K and 1440p, high settings. 1 512 GB Samsung SATA3 SSD boot drive and a PNY 512GB SSD apps & game drive. OSes are Windows 10 Pro and Debian Linux 12 dual boot.
3:26 And I thought I had made a good deal on a identical machine, but just had an i5 3470, paid 30€ for it. The pc does have a 500gb HDD that came with it too, but I added a 120gb ssd for boot.
The I7 was an amazing CPU, it was able to run pretty much all the games in my steam library at 60fps for 10 years (some games needed tweaking but still look much better than PS4/XOX versions). However, modern games (PS5 ports) have destroyed this CPU (stuttering and sudden dips to around 30-40fps dips during data deconpression), so I finally decided to upgrade to the AM5 platform and 7800X3D CPU. I will see how long the 7800X3D lasts, but I will probably buy a 9800X3D in a few years as it will also work on the AM5 platform.
HP business desktops come with a digital license for Windows. HP systems that originally sold with Windows 7 can install Windows 10 or 11 in Jan. 2024.
Just bought the 3770k on ebay for $47 to upgrade from a 2500k (arrives on the 3rd though :(. Pain in the butt trying to find a decently priced Z board for a 10600k my son upgraded from so the 3770k is my go-to for now lol
Problem is each tick and tock only brought like 5-7% of improvement, like A YAER. So you have the 3770 and the 7700, with 25% performance difference, 4 yrs and 4 gens later. That's what happens with no competition. So yeah, core for core, 2nd to 7gen Intel are in ~30% ballpark and not worth upgrading, and in laptops is even worse; they had dual core i5 and i7s up to gen 8 when Zen shook them up, which is crazy. In 2024, I'd recommend no less than lga2011 v1-2, 8-12 core xeons and $40-50 Chinese boards for ultra low budgets; theyre oft cheaper than i5/7, core count makes up a bit for weak singlecore and ecc ddr3 is like $40 for 64GB.
I have an all in one PC that came with a 2nd gen i3. It now has a 2600K i7. Win10 runs on it. Unreal 2004 plays like crap. In Win7, its a screaming machine and Unreal runs like a dream at 1080p.
looks like your demanding more than this cpu should take with those game settings (even my old i7 860 overclocked mildly can overtake those fps by lowering settings with gtx 1050 ti) ps. cs2 should be considered competetive with fps minimum 75 on 0.1% fps but i like it do +100 to stay playable.
example i get 120-200fps on 1280x960 low fsr quality and 0.1% dips sometimes 90 fps (i7 860 2.8ghz @ 3.63ghz) and my cpu should be same level with i7 3770 on paper by cinebench r23
Only 3770K have the hyper threading ... no ? I'ved rebuild an old PC to made a second cheap PC to play older steam games, emulation etc. It have a I5 3570 ... and it work well, pair with a little GTX750TI in a low profile case ! For all the games are not too demanding, it's perfect ! I want the 3770K but prices are crazy !
I bought an rtx 2060 and tossed it in my machine with the i7-3770k i forget what i had it overclocked to. But it could run cyberpunk just fine. Which means it ran pretty much any other game with good settings just fine also. Yes it's bottlenecking the 2060. On some games I am only able to reach 50-65 percent gpu usage. So it isn't ideal by any means. But to run cyberpunk with Like 45-50fps with ray tracing on 1080p, maybe a bit of DLSS but it looked great. It would take a good dip every here and there to 30-35 fps but not often enough to be super annoying. Try and do this with any other processor, same age formula. Currently it's what, 12 years old? You try and run any AAA title of any year, using a processor from 12 years before, and report your findings. If it can even run the title, there aren't gonna be any that can do what the 3770k does.
i have this cpu with a 980 ti so can run a tri boot set up. with xp 7 and 10. since xp still has support using this cpu and a hacked version of NVIDIA's driver to support a 980 ti with out flaw. its for retro gaming and modern gaming :P
i7-3770 is better for 1080p than 1440p. if u got combo of i7-3770 with GTX 1070ti or 1080ti, with 32GB of RAM and with a good SSD, only the 'sky' is the limit with 1080p gaming :D
i had 3770k with 3060 12gb, it was bottleneck on most new games. i replaced with 12400f. i have now 3770k on second pc with 24gb ram and rtx 3050 8gb...it is good for lightroom photoshop premiere and topaz but because nvidia rtx +24gb ram helps...it is good for light gaming
my computer is i7 3770, nowadays CPU is so far compared mine, but i dont find any problem with my computer should i upgrade it ? i even using gtx950 my game is only cs go2, dota2, and simulator game such as sim city, sim2 and etc.
I have one paired with a 660TI and I feel like it can't even handle RUclips anymore but that is mostly cause of the 660TI. Right now I'm trying to watch Prime Video and is not smooth as I wish it would be and also, I've been having some driver issues that I might just need to switch to some pre 2020 driver or something cause once I install the NVIDIA drivers I'm unable to go 1440p 60Hz on my secondary, only goes to 30Hz and feels REALLY BAD. Been thinking about upgrading to a 6600 but I'm not so sure it's worth it. At least I could keep the GPU for a new machine, if I decide to go that route...
Emulation will be CPU intensive. Mostlikely ur CPU will be the bottleneck, i tried upgrading my gpu from gtx 750 ti to rtx 3060 and see no improvement in emulators on my i7-3770.

Last year, I got 3770 with Z77 board for $50 then 16GB of DDR3 2400 for $20... Can't run the RAM at its 2400 XMP profile but its stable at 2200Mhz CL10, and the CPU is also running stable at 4.1-4.3 Ghz OC
I've managed to snag a Ryzen 5 1600 AF for just 20$ recently, even when paying a little bit more it's still a better option than opting in for a 3rd generation intel where used motherboards for it can cost as much as new B450s for the Ryzen and you also give up NVMe support when opting for an old CPU.
I wouldn't recommend going for such an old CPU, only if you had some bargain when purchasing old company PCs and you pay like 30$ for a whole PC with 3770 in it.
Dang that's a good deal.. I'll have to check our some cheap ryzens in the future
have this cpu 3770 but aint no play on pc but this cpu is good enough for typical usage
It is not without reason that this processor is still 11th on the popularity list among all processors tested by Technical City, three positions above its budget counterpart i5-3470, where other processors of this type from a similar release date start appear below 34 position.
The Dell midtower Optiplexes that support it (3010, 7010, 9010 MT) uses a standard 24pin ATX connector, so there is no need for adapters when switching out the PSU to utilize more powerful GPU's. The only caveat to that is that it can only drop-in fit non-modular standard size PSU's as modular ones are too long to install without dismantling the side panel door lorck.
Nice truck, during BMG drive
i7 3770k can be paired with 32gb of ddr3 a couple of SATA3 SSD and a RTX 3060 for a pretty good gaming experience, and Win11 should be the OS to go in order to keep pc up-to-date.
Despite having enough juice to run everything, if aiming for a DDR3 platform, i would go for an Fx8350 or i7 4790k, just to get a little extra extended life out of my money, since they were platforms that keep selling brand new up to 2016 and 2015 respectively
I7 3770k is still actually good in budget gaming pc with paired with a good gpu like rx 580-590 gtx 1660s doesnt bottleneck mutch used i7 3770k non oc before paired on a rx 580 2304sp and its great experience for 1080p gaming just oc the gpu for a bit and undervolt for better thermals and performance +
would recomend gtx 1070/ti, rtx 2060, rx 6600 as option also
more than 12gb ram is not really doing much but considering how cheap ddr3 is the 16gb is fairly decent futureproof maximum
@@BittiPomo pcie gen 3 is a bad side for the rx 6600 would bottleneck a bit also but i consider the rtx 2060 would sacrifice the little chocking on the cpu
@@gamingmeanslife1222 the bottleneck wont be dramatical i asure (+25% bottleneck is considered too much generally in longterm)
@@BittiPomo getting a good motherboard on it is good to max out the build just get an i7 3770k and oc it to 4.2ghz if it has a good cooling and oc the ram to 1866mhz would be a good build tbh but yeah gtx 1070ti or rtx 2060 is a win win
i have an Asus P8Z77-M motherboard running an intel core i7-3770K CPU at 4.2 GHz, with 16 GB of DDR3-1866 RAM (2 x 8GB), and an odd HP OEM nVidia RTX-2070 8GB GPU (but runs just fine), does everything I want on a 27" LG 4K IPS panel, even some light gaming - Overwatch 2, CS:GO, Second Life Firestorm and PUBG, all games at both 4K and 1440p, high settings. 1 512 GB Samsung SATA3 SSD boot drive and a PNY 512GB SSD apps & game drive. OSes are Windows 10 Pro and Debian Linux 12 dual boot.
3:26 And I thought I had made a good deal on a identical machine, but just had an i5 3470, paid 30€ for it. The pc does have a 500gb HDD that came with it too, but I added a 120gb ssd for boot.
I replaced that in Summer 2021, I tried it with a RX 6600 XT for the laughs and the cpu bottleneck was crazy.
Yeaah sounds about right
Ayy the legend the myth jaindike has finally returned
Ayoo. Yeah I been away for to long
Here riding on an Intel i7-3770@3.4Ghz, Asus Sabertooth Z77, G.Skill RipjawsX 32GB DDR3-1600, Palit GeForce RTX 3060 StormX 12GB PCI-E 3.0 8x, Adata XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2TB M.2 PCI-E 3.0 8x
That's what I'm using right now. With a GTX970. Suits me just fine. No issues. Plays the games I want, and doesn't let me down.
Bro its almost been 7 months sence you uploaded aint no way
been using this since it came out,paired with 1660 SUPER and 16gb of ram is plenty for me might be old but still gold
12 years old processor still going good just proves no reason to upgrade but only the GPU
i have i7 3770 8gb ran ddr 3 gtx1060 3gb works great for mid range pc on cs2 fivem etc
I have a Xeon E3-1275v2. It is a very similar processor. Thanks for the video. It helped me know what I could run with a better GPU.
The I7 was an amazing CPU, it was able to run pretty much all the games in my steam library at 60fps for 10 years (some games needed tweaking but still look much better than PS4/XOX versions). However, modern games (PS5 ports) have destroyed this CPU (stuttering and sudden dips to around 30-40fps dips during data deconpression), so I finally decided to upgrade to the AM5 platform and 7800X3D CPU. I will see how long the 7800X3D lasts, but I will probably buy a 9800X3D in a few years as it will also work on the AM5 platform.
I have e3-1245v2 (Xeon version of 3770) and Vega56. Witcher 3 maxed out 1080 locks at 75hz (on Linux ofc).
One of the most funny and smart tech channel on YT. Pls keep the videos coming.
you could have increased the boost clocks to 4.2ghz all core unless the mb did not support it.
I got one for $18 on Ali for an older machine and its more than enough for daily tasks including some 1080 gaming.

3770 daily driver here with a 980Ti, works fine
Just bought the 3770k on ebay for $47 to upgrade from a 2500k (arrives on the 3rd though :(. Pain in the butt trying to find a decently priced Z board for a 10600k my son upgraded from so the 3770k is my go-to for now lol
Problem is each tick and tock only brought like 5-7% of improvement, like A YAER. So you have the 3770 and the 7700, with 25% performance difference, 4 yrs and 4 gens later. That's what happens with no competition. So yeah, core for core, 2nd to 7gen Intel are in ~30% ballpark and not worth upgrading, and in laptops is even worse; they had dual core i5 and i7s up to gen 8 when Zen shook them up, which is crazy.
In 2024, I'd recommend no less than lga2011 v1-2, 8-12 core xeons and $40-50 Chinese boards for ultra low budgets; theyre oft cheaper than i5/7, core count makes up a bit for weak singlecore and ecc ddr3 is like $40 for 64GB.
Still using this cpu with 32gb ram and a rtx 2060 , still can play new games but in low settings xD this was the best buy Ive ever made
I have an all in one PC that came with a 2nd gen i3. It now has a 2600K i7. Win10 runs on it. Unreal 2004 plays like crap. In Win7, its a screaming machine and Unreal runs like a dream at 1080p.
I have a I7 3770 16gb ram + GTX 980ti , i still enjoy games on it. I might upgrade to 32gb + RTX 2060 Super soon.
been using this cpu for 10 years and it is still going somehow and i just upgrade the gpu never needed to change my cpu THANKS INTEL 3770 IS 1337
The i7-3770K and GTX 780 Ti is a great retro gaming PC combo for windows xp holdouts
Xp is ancient. During this CPU there was Windows 7
@@gelucci86 Windows Xp still went up to an i7-4960X, and a Titan Z
Underrated RUclipsr
Have to admit I am impressed with those old Intel chips.
looks like your demanding more than this cpu should take with those game settings (even my old i7 860 overclocked mildly can overtake those fps by lowering settings with gtx 1050 ti) ps. cs2 should be considered competetive with fps minimum 75 on 0.1% fps but i like it do +100 to stay playable.
example i get 120-200fps on 1280x960 low fsr quality and 0.1% dips sometimes 90 fps (i7 860 2.8ghz @ 3.63ghz) and my cpu should be same level with i7 3770 on paper by cinebench r23
Only 3770K have the hyper threading ... no ? I'ved rebuild an old PC to made a second cheap PC to play older steam games, emulation etc. It have a I5 3570 ... and it work well, pair with a little GTX750TI in a low profile case ! For all the games are not too demanding, it's perfect ! I want the 3770K but prices are crazy !
You think my Fujitsu with 14" FULLHD | i5-7200U | 16GB RAM | 240GB runs cs:go ?
Hi pls test I7-990X or Xeon W3690 or Xeon X5690 cpu 2024 game with CS2 PLEASE ❤
Bet
I bought an rtx 2060 and tossed it in my machine with the i7-3770k i forget what i had it overclocked to. But it could run cyberpunk just fine. Which means it ran pretty much any other game with good settings just fine also. Yes it's bottlenecking the 2060. On some games I am only able to reach 50-65 percent gpu usage. So it isn't ideal by any means. But to run cyberpunk with Like 45-50fps with ray tracing on 1080p, maybe a bit of DLSS but it looked great. It would take a good dip every here and there to 30-35 fps but not often enough to be super annoying. Try and do this with any other processor, same age formula. Currently it's what, 12 years old? You try and run any AAA title of any year, using a processor from 12 years before, and report your findings. If it can even run the title, there aren't gonna be any that can do what the 3770k does.
i have i7 3770s i play all game in 70fps with rx 580 on HD 1920 1080
watching this on my i7 4790k machine running at 4.5 Ghz :)
i have this cpu with a 980 ti so can run a tri boot set up. with xp 7 and 10. since xp still has support using this cpu and a hacked version of NVIDIA's driver to support a 980 ti with out flaw. its for retro gaming and modern gaming :P
i7-3770 is better for 1080p than 1440p. if u got combo of i7-3770 with GTX 1070ti or 1080ti, with 32GB of RAM and with a good SSD, only the 'sky' is the limit with 1080p gaming :D
2024年,我還在用二手i7-3770主機,搭配16GB DDR3+1TB sata ssd+2TB HDD+GTX1650,不玩遊戲,只上網,追劇和簡單文書處理,將就還夠用.
Did I miss where you mentioned what GPU you were running?
5:13 he used rtx 3060
the tearing was the singular thing I focused on in this video
what OSD for framerate, frametime, cpu load, gpu load software are you using? it looks very nice! :D
i had 3770k with 3060 12gb, it was bottleneck on most new games. i replaced with 12400f. i have now 3770k on second pc with 24gb ram and rtx 3050 8gb...it is good for lightroom photoshop premiere and topaz but because nvidia rtx +24gb ram helps...it is good for light gaming
You should try gaming with the same cpu in linux so much better no lags
my computer is i7 3770, nowadays CPU is so far compared mine, but i dont find any problem with my computer should i upgrade it ? i even using gtx950 my game is only cs go2, dota2, and simulator game such as sim city, sim2 and etc.
3770K, 32gb 1800 mhz ram 2200 mhz oc and a 1070ti
E3-1245 v2 (the twin of i7-3770) cost 36 euros now than 44 euros.
Damn that tearing is terrible
fr though
I have one paired with a 660TI and I feel like it can't even handle RUclips anymore but that is mostly cause of the 660TI.
Right now I'm trying to watch Prime Video and is not smooth as I wish it would be and also, I've been having some driver issues that I might just need to switch to some pre 2020 driver or something cause once I install the NVIDIA drivers I'm unable to go 1440p 60Hz on my secondary, only goes to 30Hz and feels REALLY BAD.
Been thinking about upgrading to a 6600 but I'm not so sure it's worth it. At least I could keep the GPU for a new machine, if I decide to go that route...
Or get a GTX 1060 6gb, 1070 or RX 480 / 580 used
@@My_Old_YT_Account The used market in my city is extremely crap/low and anything good is not that cheap if I even manage to find something good.
an fx 8320 i was testing the other day did a bit better in cs2 thought that was odd
chuck in an nvme and it will do wonders
I just got given one , can you recommend a decent new gfx card thats good for emulation? maybe a low power usage one that doesnt need a new psu
Emulation will be CPU intensive. Mostlikely ur CPU will be the bottleneck, i tried upgrading my gpu from gtx 750 ti to rtx 3060 and see no improvement in emulators on my i7-3770.
@@axandraalex5869 thanks i actually got given I5 7600k with a GTX 1660 ti not long after lol , the I7 3770 is really really good at desktop stuff though , its way faster thsn the I5 lol , but yeah I5 smokes it in games and emulation , i been messing with FSR3 mods and lossless scaling , its pretty amazing , you can put FSR1 and frame gen on anything now its pretty neat , CPU intensive stuff like Gran Turismo on RPCS3 is to much for it though unfortunately
Hey what could be the best gpu for the i7 3770?
Rx 580 or gtx 1060
Can you do the i7 4960x? I been looking at motherboards on AliExpress that are super cheap and use the LGA 2011 socket, idk much about building PC's but is this something that would go well?
It will perform a bit better than the i7-3770.
@@HestnetIT no shit
Which gpu did you used with i7 in sff pc
Have i7 3770, 16 GB RAM and 1660 super 6GB playing everything lol
Anyone would like to help me get the best out of my i7 2600k?! I never overclocked it witch is suposedly blasphemy. And I recently had issues with my pc, black screen on startup. Cleaned my GPU but haven't tried it out yet. I would like to optimise my BIOS settings too
I should have kept my 3770k huh. If the PC it was in hadn't died, I probably wouldn't have. Mobo cost the same used for that that I bought it for so like no way.
Does anyone know if running a i7-3770 for gaming with a 980 ti founders edition gpu, olease helppppppppp
It would work, if that's the question
Miss your videos, when will be new one?
theres a screen tearing? its almost visible
I noticed that right away as well. It was annoying.
What do you think about non have avx2 on 2024 for i73770
You can overclock these CPUs mine hits 4.1Ghz all cores
I found a pc with an i5 2400s, i can go up to a i7 3770 . Should i do it for 30-35 bucks? Ty
Fuck yea
Where the hell is it only $25???
will this processor run ddr3 2133mhyz?
there's no way he just said 1% lows are a software issue while the cpu usage is at 100%.

Hi what your cpu
And i have radeon rx 570 serius and i7 3770 but cs2 is so hot and game crushed this is fix?
No GPU? Purely just the CPU running games?

I yes which one?
You should test the K version
