Phenom II X4 965 BE

Is this still a good CPU in 2017?

Maybe for $5

Stop being so poor and get an i3.

It's a piece of shit
T. User who "upgraded" to a vishera cpu.

Should have got the it 3570k instead

gib a haswell or ivy i5 off eBay, get a mobo for $50, keep your RAM

man I remember back in the day I had an X6 1090T. those were the days. battlefield 3, skyrim, played them all on that system. what a piece of crap that CPU was.

delet

I feel you. I can't believe it's been more than 5 years since that one friday I stormed out of school only to find that Skyrim hadn't arrived yet. All my friends had it and talked on skype how great it was but I had to wait an extra day because UPS was a massive piece of shit.

I have a 1055T. it's fine.

>Should have got the it 3570k instead

That came out something like 3 years later...

>not even sse4 support
It was trash on release.

Learn to read, I should have got the it instead of the vishera when I upgraded

No it didn't.

this, a thousand times this

>tfw I have an 1.7 ghz i5 and intel 2nd 4000 and am currently playing skyrim and bf3 at minimum and bf3 below native resolution

Back then I had an AMD 6870 and most games ran fairly well. BF3 mid high at 1080p, Skyrim high at 1080p though no AA

I'm still using it. Im not a gaymer but it can play most modern games okay. The only way I'll upgrade is if my cpu dies.

Well, it has better single core and floating point than an FX at the same clocks...

I had one for about 7 years, then upgraded to a 6700k. It was a great CPU, but for gaming / performance its quite dated.

Wouldnt pay money for one, but last year picked one up for 20 bucks and a motherboard.

I have a x2 555

send help

have you tried unlocking cores?

Anything with only 2 cores is shit.

So what's the best cpu for AM3+ slot below $200 now? I do not want to change the motherboard, but will be happy to upgrade old phenom ii to something more relevant.

It's still a good CPU for normies or people who don't require much performance for gaming and whatnot.

Either get a FX 8300 for $115 or a FX 8370 for $185.

Why the 4 Quadro 400s?

This was my old setup, but i swapped a quadro for gt630 now, cause the quadros dont really cut it for 4k youtube.

it was piece of shit at launch so now it's even worse

Do you have that matrix code screensaver. If so get it.

I was using a 1090T at 4GHz for a while last year after selling my 4790K and was very impressed with how it held up in most gaymes. Dark Souls III had some drops into the 40s in the swamp and Irithyll, but it ran most modern stuff well (paired with a GTX 780). It was actually mostly older stuff like the original Witcher that ran like complete shit. The Witcher 2 ran perfectly though, because it uses more than one core.

Did it once lol. This is my current setup. Same computer, but i replaced 3 monitors with a 40 inch 4k, and made a custom mount for the two dells.

the 1090t was great my dude. @4ghz I used it until 2015 just fine and had to upgrade to intlel eventually. I wish ryzen came a year earlier.

kill yourself.

>UPS
Still a massive piece of shit.

...

How much of a perfomance gain will I get with a 6500 in gayming?

>still a good CPU in 2017?

Yes.

Now list what you want to use it for.

I've a 965BE OC'd to 3.9 GHz (had it up to 4.1 for a while) with 8 GB 1866 MHz DDR3, a GTX 460, a pair of Crucial MX200 SSDs for OS installs plus a pair of 2 TB HDDs for data. It's a powerful daily driver for general productivity. Triple boots WinXP, Win7 and whatever version of linux I'm playing with this month.

Main downside for me is that it uses a fair bit of electricity, even though I've got a 212 cooling block on it and keep it under ~50 C most of the time.

It's not a gaymeme system and I don't do video rendering, plus I keep my installs lean & clean and my browsers block out 95% of all the autoplaying shit most major websites try to shove up my ass, so most pages load & display faster than I can blink..

I mean, fuck, I can only watch porn so fast.

I've got an 8350fx system also. For most general shit (web, email), I've got the 965 system fired up because it's a sacrificial machine ... I have no fucks to give if it gets a virus. I rarely need the power of an 8350, but I use it for watching hidef movies/gen music & multimedia (because that's the system with a better GPU & a nice soundcard connected to my stereo), some gaming (of which I do very little any more) and most offline activities.

I upgraded from it 2 months ago.
It just started being too slow to use
