Sandy bridge is GOLD🤩 One year ago I tested i7 3930k at 4.7GHz with my Asus Rampage iv Black Edition and I was surprised by the results! In gaming i7 was pretty much always better than my ryzen 7 3700x that was in my personal build😆 As always, really nice video😁💪🏻 Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹😎
@Nexus Tech as someone who use to run sandy bridge E disable specter and meltdown using inspectre for 25%-40% increase in fps. fps is lower due to the newer mitigations causing bottlenecks in the cpus microcode
Best too use Atlas OS or Chris Titus too completely remove that junk lies of Intel. You can also run scripts since Atlas OS does remove windows updates.
🔥200W at idle, woah🔥 Just a suggestion if it possible to remove the Pentium 4 result on Blender and Handbrake and probably other benchmarks as it seems to skew the scaling of the graph. Nice video as always!
great video. stock results are very important as most people get used office pcs that can't overclock. the fx and first gen i7 always pleasantly surprise, while sandy bridge seems to work great if games properly utilize the cpu (it's weird how the 2700k gets 90fps in your video but in icebergtech video the 2680v2, albeit at 3ghz but with 10 cores gets 68fps)
@@josephdias5859 I allready did, and running this thing with a small OC @4.6 and 1866 low timings quad channel ram. But it lacks AVX2 and so its now getting more and more old iron for gaming... Just using it for a small backup / server pc
Imagine using this chipset just for the ultimate Windows XP PC build with GTX 980 Ti or Titan X whereby only 2 cores are fully utilized 😂. While I don't see the reasons to buy that chipset due to higher power consumption & i7 3770 chipset is already more than good enough, it is still a decent performer for 1080p gaming. Perhaps pairing it with RX 6700/6800 (XT or non XT), dual boot ChimeraOS & Windows 10 (preferably LTSE) and boom, an interesting PC build to last for a few years.
How do you cool this cpu at 1.5 volts and 5GHz? Are the test done at full clock speed or is it throttling? I have a 3930k and simply due to the thermal resistance limits, unless you use a sub ambient temperature, you are limited by the cpu silicon itself and these crap out above 200 watts TDP due to a relatively low throttling temperature of 91 celcius. I would guesstimate for 5GHz, you will be pulling 225-250 watts and something doesnt add up here.
Still using a 3960x on an Asus Sabertooth X58 for all of my “pre 2015” gaming. There’s nothing wrong with this stuff, honestly. We’re keeping E-waste out of the dump as well, so it’s a win-win? 😁
Yeah, I think I got a bit overly excited, lol. The x58 is running an i7 980. The x79 board isn’t a Sabertooth board, it’s an Alienware Aurora R4 with the original motherboard. Thanks for correcting that 🤦♂️ Point still stands with the X58 platform as well though, as long as you aren’t playing anything super new.
@@keithzobel8561 X58 is definitely my favorite platform of all time. My main PC was on X58 in 2013-2023, first with a Xeon W3520 (i7-920), later W3550 (i7-950) and since 2016 on a X5670 6c/12t @ 4.4GHz. It did well in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 etc. with a GTX 1080. My main PC is now on X299 with an i9-10900X and the same GTX 1080. Whenever I upgrade to a faster card I'll put the 1080 back in to the X58 system.
@@ProcessedDigitally no no ma duderino, 50w is like a full swing, did benchmark and at 15w its like 40% of the full all core performance, which is still better than this one.

I had a 3930k paired with the Rampage IV Formula and upgraded to the e5 1680v2, I even modified the bios to boot from NVME.
You can also add rebar support to it with a bios mod

where is this on the bios of rampage IV Extreme?
@@--Parangaricutirimicuaro--- its not in the bios it must be disabled in windows registry you can use programs like inspectre for it

I love the contrast with the old P4 in there xD.
Make it your thing and never remove the Pentium 4 from your graphs lol.

Hello mate! Well, the least I could do is adjust them a bit, at the same time, don't you love seeing P4 and 7950X3D on the same chart ? 😂
Very strong CPU for its time and still pretty competent today.

Always enjoy your vids. I used to have the 3960x but on an x79 Intel board and it wouldn’t overclock very well. Look forward to more vids.
Would love to see e5 2696v3 with turbo boost mod at 10/20threads 3.8ghz all core in your charts. Any plans for x99 xeon review ? :)
Holy moly, I would love to see that as well, those Xeons are such interesting chips... Great video idea.
Still running an 3960x in my backup pc, its power hungry and not a powerhouse anymore, but it was and its still doing his job
Disabling spectre aand meltdown significantly increases fps

@@wiesel222 the good thing is the 4960x has avx 2 on the same board still plagued by mitigations though
@@josephdias5859 The 4960X is Ivy Bridge-E so it doesn't have AVX2. There is no CPUs with AVX2 for the X79 platform.

When you were making HD 630 vs GT 710 video why didn't you use 2gb vram model of 710 instead of 1gb version??

On 1080p your i7-3770 should massively bottleneck these RX6700 or 6800 graphics cards. No use in spending that much money.
Impaitently waiting for 7980xe to reach these prices 😅
So we are getting double performance in a single thread of cinebench approximately like after 8-9years 😮
Please compare GT 710 2GB with HD 630 please

Is it possible that you might be selling the CPU at one point? I have been looking for the 3930K/60X/70X for a while for my X79 benchmark setup.
Killer i5-9400f
I think Intel's E-cores are faster than this now?

No not compatible. 3970X uses Socket 2011.
