who the fuck else is still rocking one of these deadly beasts?

bite my shiny metal CPU

955 BE here.

Was mid-grade when I got it 6 or whatever years ago, still does alright I guess.

had my 1090t since 2012, have just chucked water cooling on it and paired it with a gtx 970. my system is op but it shouldn't be lol

Same here but still on air. Sadly, that fucker got too hot a few years ago and i had to downclock that thing to stop it freezing.

My nigga, 955 BE here too.

I took everything apart and sold my phenom for like $175 i think, got a used g3258 and some used msi board with the money

i miss that cpu but god damn usb 3 and sata 3 are such a privilage.

I like this bad boy but 7 years are 7 years

Did the board you were using have mosfet heatsinks, and were you using cooling that cooled said mosfet heatsinks, ie. stock fan-axial fan not tower?

I used a Phenom I until 2012, heavy, daily use.

Upgraded the station with a Phenom II for 20 €, its still a usable Desktop machine. But only stock clocks, either the PSU and mainboard don't support OC.
