Mine was bought in 2013, served me, then one of my relatives, and now it's retired in it's box, 10+ years of service and it still can deliver 60 fps in most games.
I just resurrected my old PC, Asus P8Z77-V, 3770K, GTX 1070 (in a wardrobe for over two years, thought it should get a new home). Decided to delid and LM the 3770K (one of the easiest chips to do, paste not solder and not s single SMD on the substrate), clocked it to 4.6GHz / 1.29-1.3V, used to find 4.4GHz was practical max before it got too hot (ETA >> never been a demon overclocker, but I guess given it doesn't have to last another 10 years it could probably run fine @ c.4.9GHz / 1.38-1.4V, might try it in the interest of science). Treated it to a 2 x 8GB HyperX DDR3 1866 C9 kit (£25). It now cruises through P95 small AVX at c. 65°C (drawing about 79W, Noctua Redux 120 cooler), out-scores 4770K in Cinebench, plays Halo Infinite (at a mix of low/medium) and Crysis (maxed out) smoothly at 1080/60FPS, completes 3Dmark loops at 99.7% and all games listed in the Time Spy benchmark given as playable (60+FPS to a couple of 100 FPS) at 1080 including Red Dead Redemption 2. Tested it to within an inch of its life with simultaneous CPU/GPU stress tests (for eg. OCCT large AVX/constant/extreme and Heaven) and no WHEA errors. Was always an amazingly stable and reliable machine, powered on pretty much 24/365 for 7 or 8 years, sometimes didn't get rebooted for weeks. ETA >> I did some simultaneous Handbrake x264 encodes (from BRD rips) on my current 9900KF and the 3770K, the 9900KF is about 150% faster (2.5x) using about 110% more power (chip draw), considering its age the 3770K is indeed a very impressive chip in terms of efficiency.
I rocked an i7 3770 for a couple of years. Upgraded from an FX 8350, which some would call a side grade, but no, even with a locked multiplier, it was an upgrade. I had a GTX 1080 at the time and that FX was a HUGE bottleneck for anything below 4k. The i7 3770 was a relief for me. It allowed more than a ~25% frame increase across the board in resolutions under 2160p and also gave me a slight bump up in 2160p as well (~8%). I ran it on an Intel DQ77MK motherboard with 16GB Kingston Hyper-X Genesis DDR3 1600 CL9 memory, a 120GB Kingston SSD and a 1TB 7200 RPM Spinner. The board had an mSata port as well but I never used it. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have. Used the stock Intel cooler on it too. I loved it. I put it all in a new case with a new EVGA PSU and I was very happy with it for a while. I then upgraded to an i7 6700k but that is another memory for another day.
Half a year ago I upgraded first to i7-3770T (bought it together with the board, also DQ77MK), and then bought an i7-3770K. Ram DDR3L 4x8GB (32GB) I already had, Bluetooth + wifi module in the mini pcie slot, built-in video card (For my purposes ram amount and storage speed is more important), and in the pcie 3.0 slot nvme via an adapter (I had to patch the BIOS to support booting from it). Compared to what I had before (LGA1156), this is much better.
I have a 3770K still in use inside an arcade cabinet, paired with a Radeon HD7870 from the same time period. It runs arcade games and console emulation really well. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen Intel were all really great. Nice to know modern games still run pretty well.
I have this CPU in an older PC running at 4.8GHz @ 1.32v. It requires significantly higher voltage to reach 4.9 or 5.0GHz with a stable overclock. I generally like to settle on an OC at a reasonable voltage level, before the voltage starts going exponential to squeeze out the last few MHz. It's been running like this for years. Another quick note, it's delided with liquid metal between the die and heat spreader. This is essential to keeping temps under control.
Oh cool the CPU from my first desktop PC, I even still have the CPU as a display piece. I didn't expect to see a video about it in 2024 but I'm here for it.
You can mod the BIOS to boot from an nVME in a PCIe 3.0 adapter on Z77 and later Asus MB's which I've done to my (recently resurrected) P8Z77-V / 3770K. It limits the 1st PCIe slot to x8 but that's of no consequence with the GFX cards its realistically limited to. Boot, shutdown and speed of loading apps and games is frikking amazing (maxes out sequential read/writes with the Samsung 970 Evo, c. 3500MB/s).
I'm betting the 3770K's PCIe 3.0 link is what's giving it the gaming edge over Sandy Bridge. That video card would be fairly bottlenecked by PCIe 2.0, I'd imagine.
Still playing games on a I7 3770k just fine in 2024 after 13 years of use. Have it set up on a LAN network for home gaming. It's an awesome over clocking chip for the era, and it has held up for games far better then anyone could of hoped for. Intel made some awesome Quad core CPU's in in the 2010's. Here's to hoping they get back to that after they work through their current problems.
Interesting video. Did a comparison of Sandy vs. Ivy Bridge over Christmas: Asus P67 Deluxe + i7 2600k vs. Asus Z77 Deluxe + i7 3770k. We take different approaches, but come to the same conclusion: Ivy Bridge is much better than its reputation. Your diagram minute 03:27: A 3770K @4.8 GHz has the same power consumption as a 2700k without OC (it's not clear from your video whether you're assuming the base or turbo clock of the 2700k, but even with the turbo the 3770k is over 20% faster) This is how efficiency works. I found the comparison of the P67 vs. Z77 platforms more exciting; Ivy Bridge also offers various advantages here (PCIe 3.0, for example). But I'm too lazy to write any more now.
I've owned several ivy bridge based CPUs over the years. Oddly, I've never owned any Sandy Bridge ones. My first Ivy was a laptop with a 3540M dual core i7. Massive upgrade in battery life over my previous Core 2 based laptops and was decently powerful at the time. The best one is the mighty Xeon E5 1680 V2 that I bought as an experiment about 5 years ago, absolute beast of a CPU.
Got the non K 3770 out of the electronics container at the recycling center / scrapyard myself like 2 weeks ago & a B75 motherboard with a I3 3225 or whatever its name was. Will be dual booting between 7 & 10 together with a pci ide controller card to move games too a pair of ide hdd's for a modified xbox & PS2 as well as some older games that I'm not touching that often im probably gonna move over there & clear out space on my own harddrive.
I had my i5-3570k for around 3 years. It overclocked pretty decently on my Z77 AsRock board (4.5 GHz). Unfortunately, it just wasn't enough power for the MMO player in me - but it was still very fast compared to everything else on the market. I wasn't really satisfied with speed & IPC until 10th generation. Hitting 5 GHz and getting a decent IPC uplift when I upgraded from 3570k to a 10900k was really nice. Eventually I moved to a 13700k because the power draw was simply too massive with the 10900k. Wonderful chip but 13th gen is leagues more efficient.
I ran a 3570K from late 2012 all the way up until May of last year. Fantastic chip. It was still plenty usable in all honesty, I just wanted something more up to date.
Ran it in my gamind system from 2012 until 2018, mildy overclocked on some occasions , after that still running stock to this very day in my truenas server motherboard also still maried to the cpu: ASUS Z77 deluxe
My old 3770k, Intel Extreme Z77 motherboard and GTX580 (which I may or may not have baked in the oven 4 years ago lol, still works) went to my son quite awhile back and I'm still surprised to this day how what that machine can handle
I run a 3770K from May 2012 to February 2018. Killed by a missed deliding operation. It was a decent CPU back then paired with 32GB RAM. Maybe still in use until know but in 2018 it was no match for the CPU-Prices here in Germany. Only with SLi it wasn´t the best choice with 8x8. I paired it with GTX560TI first, GTX1070 later. After the "Kill" i replaced it with a used X99-Platform and 5820K. Upgraded to a 6950X in 2021 and DDR3200 32GB i still use it today with a RTX4080. Holy shit, this System is also 8Years in Time.... Man i get old i think xD
I got my i7 3770k back in June 2012 and still using it. I overclocked it to 4.6ghz with 1.288v back in 2016 and using it with LC Power LC-CC-120 dual fan cooler... Most likely I will keep using it well into 2025...
I run this chip for a few years but I was never really super impressed with it. I upgraded from an i2500k that ran at 4.6 ghz from the day it was new. The i7 3770k was an upgrade but nowhere near the difference I felt going from a Q 6600 to the i2500k. The i2500k build is still among my favorites looking back on it. The AM4 I am running now is likely going to beat out my Z-77 for longevity.
Have an old 2nd gen and then I went skylake, 9th, and 12th last year. I missed 3rd gen somehow. Do love my 12700KF and 12900KF though when it's time I should upgrade again. It's always a question of when I'm cpu bound enough where I need to upgrade to keep driving more resolution gaming, first it was 1080P then 1440P gaming (&4K content). I wasn't doing much modern gaming when 3rd released. My 2nd gen had PCIE2 and was more of an office pc, I later upgraded, lived on as an 720P-1080P x264 HTPC until resolutions changed.
Bought in March 2013. Still working fine after 11 years in secondary system paired with a gtx 1080 and 16 gb ram. But asrock z77 extreme 4 mobo died back in 2020 so i had to buy a cheap h61 with no usb 3.0 port but overall pretty good for a secondary system.
Its funny how people can acknowledge that the modern 4 core 8 thread i3s are great for gaming. What they dont realize is these older chips can offer similar performance. In my opinion if you dont have the budget to go new i7 or i9 then just stick to old tech
Hi there, Nice video! I'm trying to find a 8gb GPU to use with my 3770k and on a future new build.. im undecided between the rx5700xt, rx6650xt or rtx 3060ti😅
@@zeubilamouche2896 If your looking to have that GPU also be used in a new system down the line. I recommend at minimum a 12gb card. Especially if playing on resolutions above 1080p. I'm regularly almost filling out the 12gb on my rx6750xt at 1440p. New cards from AMD are all shipping with 16gb or more RAM now as well meaning AMD thinks even 12gb is no longer going to be enough at the higher settings.
Yep I have 2 pcs currently running the 3770k with asus z87 pro MB’s. Just updated them to windows 10 pro hahah. Will be selling them though. Already built new pcs
I just bought a used 3770k to upgrade my old PC running on an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 mobo. I also bought that same mobo you have (Asus M5E), but it had bent pins in one of the memory sockets so I couldn't use all 4 sticks of DDR3 1600. I delidded the 3770k and used liquid metal with a thicker all copper heatsink and Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120se cooler. Pushed it to 4.6ghz, between 1.22-1.23 core voltage, max temp of 62C when running Prime95. Upgraded to a 6650xt GPU which is decent. May need to go with a 6750xt for better frames at medium/high settings. I'm curious what you did to push over 4.6ghz.
I still run my system on a I7 3770K today with a 1080 TI on it and 32GB RAM. Even a game like Hogwarts Legacy still runs fine on high settings. So i feel no intent to upgrade jet.
I still have my 3700k and have been using it since 2013. Absolutely love it and has served me very well. It was a beast in its time and can run most games very well. Although it's definitely showing it's age, i don't think I'll do a complete socket change till the 16th gen comes out.
I guess Intel forgot about their Tik-Tok rule when it came to 14nm... Went more like TIK-TOK-TOK-TOK-TOK-TOK. Still can't believe they used 14nm for 6 years!
my first full build was an i5-3350p because it was the cheapest new 4 core i could find. i have a new pc but my old pc worked fine so i decided to upgrade that to a 3770k, set the multiplier to 45 , changed to 32gb of 2400mhz ram and it works great. i also have a small form factor pico psu powered 3770t (i chose that because it has a 45w tdp, a lower base speed, but boosts to nearly the same clock speeds) that i quite like. theyre all getting a bit old but still feel plenty snappy with an ssd.
Purchased my 3770k in 2012 & it still works fine as secondary system.
Mine was bought in 2013, served me, then one of my relatives, and now it's retired in it's box, 10+ years of service and it still can deliver 60 fps in most games.
I used a i7920 OC, from 2010 to 2020 as a daily. From 2020 3950X, 4 years on still go I'm hoping to get 10 years out of this
same but its still my main :,(
Im gonna upgrade my secondary pc from i5 2500 to i7 3770 non k today
Still running my i7-3770K with a 4.2 GHz overclock, and with an nVidia RTX-2070 w 8GB GPU, still runs everything fine on a 4K IPS LG 27" panel.
Hell yeah, it was amazing stuff. PCIE3.0, USB3, great performance, easy overclock. All with a passive Scythe Ninja 3B for 9 years. Good stuff.
990x also had usb 3 man... but pcie 3.0 sure sounds like a damn big improvement.
I had that CPU for 5 years...did me justice :) !!!!
I have it still too from 2012. For me it is fne to this day.

Unlike the 900 series as a whole😂

FX needs to be Overcloked to be usable for gaming 😂 I still use both daily
fx was bad back then since programs never took advantage of multiple cores but nowadays with an overclock it puts a good fight against the 3770

What Graphics card?
My wife's work computer has a 3770k in it my old gaming computer still going strong.
Work computer is 11 years old and is still considered Overpowered 💀😂
I am watching this on a stock intel board, 3770k and a 2060 while pulling 144 frames in WarThunder. I am still pretty happy with this chip.

What a monster in efficiency🌱😍!!
Ivy bridge is one of my favourite intel architectures💪🏻🔝
As always nice video😎 keep doing this💎
I7 3770 is really a good chip. Only downside is the the lack of avx2. Gen 4 is really the sweet spot.
Dat NEC Tokin capacitor on the motherboard tho 💀
Was using the non K version for 10 years @all core 4.2 ghz. It was fine until the mobo died.
still use till today . run smooth like butter

p8z77 vdeluxe + 3770k + 16gb 1866 + gtx 1080 + 970 250gb samsung
as the first main computer and everything is fine
i still use this cpu for when i stream on a secondary machine and it has not brought me any problems.

got integrated graphics to run battlefield 3 at 800x600 at over 60fps was very cool when my gpu died
I just bought a used 3770k to upgrade my old PC running on an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 mobo. I also bought that same mobo you have (Asus M5E), but it had bent pins in one of the memory sockets so I couldn't use all 4 sticks of DDR3 1600. I delidded the 3770k and used liquid metal with a thicker all copper heatsink and Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120se cooler. Pushed it to 4.6ghz, between 1.22-1.23 core voltage, max temp of 62C when running Prime95. Upgraded to a 6650xt GPU which is decent. May need to go with a 6750xt for better frames at medium/high settings. I'm curious what you did to push over 4.6ghz.
I found an i7 2600 + mobo + 16gb ram 1333mhz for 36 dollars
Yeah, I had sandy bridge Pentium g620 and Core i3 2120 paired with asus p8h61 mobo.
Please be gentle with this old lady. Dont push too many voltage on her.
I still run my system on a I7 3770K today with a 1080 TI on it and 32GB RAM.
Even a game like Hogwarts Legacy still runs fine on high settings.
So i feel no intent to upgrade jet.
One of my systems has a non-K i7-3770 which I've overclocked to 4.22-4.43GHz
Xeon E3 1240 v2, poor man's i7 3770 lasted me till 2022.
I still have my 3700k and have been using it since 2013. Absolutely love it and has served me very well. It was a beast in its time and can run most games very well. Although it's definitely showing it's age, i don't think I'll do a complete socket change till the 16th gen comes out.
Don't forget the XEON equivalent CPUs. It's so much cheaper.
Oh yeah! I'm going to play with some Xeons real soon 🙂
sandy was tick
ivy was tock
I guess Intel forgot about their Tik-Tok rule when it came to 14nm... Went more like TIK-TOK-TOK-TOK-TOK-TOK. Still can't believe they used 14nm for 6 years!
Still have one.
does i7 3770 good with gtx 1050ti or even 1060 to 1080 ti?
Yup, I think they will pair nicely 🙂
yes it does. i7 3770k with 1080 ti & 32gb ram is what i use today. It's awesome
Im still using 3770 with 580nitro + smooth r6 etc
7:15 +900Mhz doubled the performance ?
Hd 630. Vs GT 710 2gb please 🥺
You could use higher resolutions
Bro please test i7 4770k
Tik, tok, quad core, 6 core, quad core, quad core, quad core, 8 core, quad core, quad core, quad core 😂
the more the times shows - anything below 4th gen - duo lacking of AVX 2.0 - was really a trash
You tested a Pentium 4? lol
7th!
Got a 3770K recently and I haven't had an Ivy before. Delidded it immediately but haven't tested it yet except that it works.
my first full build was an i5-3350p because it was the cheapest new 4 core i could find. i have a new pc but my old pc worked fine so i decided to upgrade that to a 3770k, set the multiplier to 45 , changed to 32gb of 2400mhz ram and it works great. i also have a small form factor pico psu powered 3770t (i chose that because it has a 45w tdp, a lower base speed, but boosts to nearly the same clock speeds) that i quite like. theyre all getting a bit old but still feel plenty snappy with an ssd.
