say what you must, but you cannot convince me that in 2017, the Q6600 is obsolete

i dont care, i can still watch porn, play some very light vidya, have multiple web tabs open at once, and has VT-x support
if i use loonix, everything is 200% faster

It isn't. I got a family member running a system on it.

Working since 8 years ago B)
this is what i like to see
see Sup Forums? 775 is still here, here to stay
shit even 771 is allowed too, only for the xeons tho
>Q6600
It's probably ok for home video editing, Photoshop, programming, or as an educational, or student cpu. There are 300mhz cpu's that are probably still fine for word processing.
Chrome in js heavy sites, I would like to see how it would fair.
chrome kills the G4560 for fuck's sake
q6600 would off itself
I've seen a xeon e5450 do fine, so I'm guessing it would be like that only crappier.
>not sticking superior LGA771 Xeons in 775 mobos
entry level pleb
I bought one for an intel mobo, and now the bios shows different settings than are really applied, virtualization tech is not enabled although ticked in the bios, and the system always has to be hard rebooted...
Damn, must be your board.
I stuck an x5450 in an Optiplex 330 and it doesn't have any issues
I'm thinking micro code or bios update.
I have an i5-2500k in my daily driver, but I really want some old hardware to mess around with, I've considered pentium 3 or amd k6-2, something to run windows 98 on or test super lightweight linux distros, trying to remember my motivation back when firefox 2 just came out, or around that time.
don't mind me, just overcooking my q6600
same, but with a 3470
must be all those nostalgia threads
needed some water cooling though
still have a [email protected] on my desktop. can still play gta5@60fps and witcher 3 solid 30fps.
I've run a motherboard in water before, plugged into power, it still ran although it was half submerged, then it didn't power on after I took it out of the water, it was a scientific perception based test.
Back then it was like you could see and hear the hardware working, and notice differences in timing.
Or you can buy the g4560 or an i5 2500 if you want to be poor.
Q6600 is an antique piece of shit that stutters when playing 1080p h265.
Q9550 here
this, lga 775 fags are in denial that their shit is terribly out of date
720p 264 plays on fine on an atom n270, this doesn't seem right.
I see no problem using lga 775 in 2017. It does almost everything except play the latest children's games.
Thread reported for cyber bullying.

lga 775 build for under $50 minus case, monitor, and hard drives.
>vidya

It both is and isn't.
If all you do on it is browse the web and casually game, its just fine.
If you multitask, as in shit ton of crap open, then no, it's not.
If you want to game at 60fps everywhere, it isn't
If you want to do anything that stresses the cpu, it isn't.
Get the cpu that is up to the tasks you want if you are cheap, go overkill if you have some money because it will last you in the long run better.
>have Q8200
>stuck with DDR2, PCIE 2, SATA 2
>cant render video at any modern resolution
>every modern program lags to FUCK
yeah real fun, ditched that shit for a low tier pentium and a modern mobo
Bought an i3 2120 + p67 board +6GB RAM for 70 bucks last year.
There is literally no reason to be using LGA775 in 2017.
If you only have $50 to build a computer, don't buy a fucking computer you dumb fucking idiot, put that money towards something actually necessary.
You're only poor because of how you spend your money.
I used a SL9400 without an SSD until early 2016 and I didn't have problems with modern programs or browsing any websites. I did not play games or render video, which many people do not.
The responses in this thread are very overblown. I still have an Athlon II computer and a Phenom II computer, which were worse than c2d and c2q in their day, and have zero problems.
These are more than adequate for modern browsers and websites.
I have a Q8400 and a DDR3 mobo and it's fine.
>4790k scored higher than 6700k
really makes you think
I feel like i3-2130 or i5-2400s is the new poorfag old CPU to be honest. You can get refurb lenovo/dell/HP complete working system off fleabay for ~$100 or even less with this CPU.
That seems inaccurate, a 4790k is really ~4x faster than a Q6600? CPUs have gotten 4x faster from 2007 to 2014? The only "big" jumps we've had were between Core 2 and the first gen Core i-something CPUs, then I guess between 1st and 2nd gen with Sandy Bridge. After that it's been small and incremental improvements.
Passmark is pretty shit DESU.
>Q6600 is an antique piece of shit that stutters when playing 1080p h265.
Just use hardware decoding like everyone else. I could play 1080p h264 in 2006 on a fucking Pentium 4.
LGA775 reporting in
I had been using this pentium 4 PC for the last 12 years, until i bought my current laptop (AMD A-6 APU, with Radeon R4 Graphics)
It was a really comfy machine and preformed well, never had any breakdowns. I still use it from time to time to store my old files
they are worlds apart, yes. i wouldn't say 4x faster though.
I know, but the gap still seems huge.
Of course they are, but that 4x gap (reported by the benchmark) still seems absolutely huge.
here's cpu-z with a 4690k vs a q8400 with a lot of shit in the background
That's more like what I'd expect. Over 2x but not close to 4x.
I literally an hour or so ago finished upgrading my server from a 775 board to a 1156 one
Is that on stock clock? Core 2s were monsters at overclocking. I ran my e6550 on 3GHz for 4 years straight, with stock voltage. With higher clocked RAM and voltage bumps, I got it to 3.5GHz once, I think.
And that was the original node ones, not the dieshrinks, which output like half the heat.
That's nothing. I5 7600k hits 5GHz and is 3x faster than any overclocked core2.
Q6700 mustard race
I got that shit from intel-propaganda: retail edge when I worked at best buy a decade ago.
Got a bunch of free shit by consuming propaganda like a hog. I made 2 accounts, used a fake one to get the answers for the real account. Always got the double chip score or whatever it was. Was like #4 on the leader-board or something like that.

Q6600 is obsolete. Even Q9400 when overclocked only just barely outperforms a Sandy Bridge i3.
>he didn't get the based P5Q Premium
It depends on your needs. If you don't play games or anything cpu intensive then benchmarks are meaningless.
A q6600 is obsolete to play modern games? I'm ok with that.
That OC isn't nearly as impressive as what the old C2Ds and C2Qs could do. A 7600K at 5GHz is like 20% above its stock clock. The old Q6600 could do like 3.6GHz (50% OC), or even 3.7-4.0 if you were very lucky and had the right stepping. That was a serious amount of extra performance. I had an i5 750, 2.66GHz CPU that ran 4.0 for years and could get up to 4.3 with voltage that I wasn't comfortable using all day every day. OC was much, much more impressive in the old days.
Nowadays you get a top-dog 7700K and you're lucky if you can push another 500MHz above it's 4.5GHz top clock. OC for actual performance is barely worth it anymore, it's pretty much just a hobby now. Ryzen is even worse on the AMD side. Back in the day you could get a very serious CPU performance boost from OC and the benefits were immediately and clearly visible.
Nowadays you get
I'm typing this on a Q6700. It is now my wife's PC and it meets all her needs just fine. All I did was replace the hard drive, this PC should be good for another 5 years.
>Nowadays you get a top-dog 7700K and you're lucky if you can push another 500MHz above it's 4.5GHz top clock
Uh what? My work PC is a 7600K and I got it to a comfy 4.8Ghz.
>I don't use my CPU so it's not obsolete !!!
Then it's still obsolete because it uses a fuck ton of power compared to, say, an Atom.
Q6600 is not a useful CPU no matter how you choose to look at it. It doesn't matter what you do or how much you don't do anything with it, there's something better and more appropriate out there for you. If you don't need a lot of horsepower, you're better off with an Atom or an i3 that will pay for itself in savings on your electrical bill within a year.
As such, the Core 2 lineup is obsolete, no matter how many lies you tell yourself.
>tfw 34% OC on 4690k
ssd in it?
Q6600 is really only ideal if you meet certain criteria
>I have a spare LGA775 board laying around that needs a good CPU
>I want to improve my current toaster but only want to spend so much for some unexplained reason
imo, C2Q is not energy efficient or really all that good at running today's software. Unless the need to get one is urgent, all money should be saved and put towards newer stuff. I run a X5470, but not for long. I edit videos, emulate more than I run newer games, pay bills, convert stuff. Depends on your needs
What's your point? That it didn't even hit 5GHz or what?
>tfw 34% OC on 4690k
34% above the boost clock, so about 5.2GHz? That's one fucking amazing 4690K you have there, you got very lucky.
I don't think I am going to upgrade anytime soon
both modern Intel + AMD having horrible single core performance
here have my CPU from 2008
I still have a Prescott bibeline meme Pentium 4 box. Makes a pretty good space heater in the winter.
Oh, no, I didn't take the boost clock into consideration, just ~20% over in that case.
I haven't tried to push it further yet, been wanting to delid it first.
Just a new 7200rpm 1tb drive. It would fly with an ssd though.
>when playing
My mobo on it only supports up to 4.8ghz :
Computer benchmarks exist to sell new cpus to children who play games.
A piece of hardware is only obsolete when it can no longer do what you need it to do.
Q6600 is lyfe
1.32V is already pretty high for Haslel, does it throttle yet under AVX torture tests, like Linpack or P95 small FFT? Probably not advisable to push voltage even further.
>just ~20% over in that case
Yeah, figured as much, it's not very impressive. I've got a 4.7GHz 4790K too, it's much faster of course but nowhere near as impressive as the Q6600 and i5 750 that came before it. We've pretty much hit the clock wall.
Haven't tested with Linpack or P95, but it doesn't throttle under AIDA64's cpu+fpu+cache stress. During which it "only" spikes up to at most 75C averaging around 65C, so there's still a little bit of headroom as far as temperature is concerned.
AIDA is lighter than Linpack (IBT/Lynx/etc).
>tfw my LGA775 mobo never let me OC
Prebuilts suck, never again
you just didn't know the Q6600 OC tape trick
go ahead, google it, I dare you
I have a Core 2 Quad Q8400. Just werks for most stuff. Everything outside of 2012+ gaming is snappy and it can do 1080p full speed on most GC/Wii games on Dolphin.
It's running at a very higher frequency with 4 more threads.. .
fuggg
I had a E4300 and never read about this, guess I should try it
>These are more than adequate for modern browsers and websites.
not only are you wrong, but you're an ugly grotesque freak
>5GB RAM
wut?
I use a C2D daily, along with a newer i5.
A top C2D can manage pretty much all common tasks. The biggest challenge are bloated websites, but even that is usable.
I'd say they're pretty good value if you're buying a whole PC second hand (minus keyboard+monitor), since you can get those for like $50.
A newer PC with a noticeable performance improvement will be at least $200.
who /dualLGA771/ here?
I feel the same about x5650 oced to 4.1ghz, except maybe the price for the mobo. But it's not like I'm buying it. Paired with 1060 gtx 3GB, 18 GB RAM and Overwatch runs usually at over 200 fps (1080p, 100% render, low), with the lowest I've seen ~150 fps (while recording using shadowplay) during intense battles. Practically no reason to upgrade this 7 year old CPU right now.
Core2 shit's okay for most of the sites I browse.
I'm posting from a Pentium M unironically right now and don't want to neck myself.

possibly a laptop with 2 slots one soldered 1gb ram and a 4 chip on the second

That was on air. After this abuse for a few months it was running stable on 3.5Ghz 1.5v
q8200 overclocked at 2.8gz for 3 years on a p5b-pro
i'm not upgrading soon
Mu hume servour
That's like a $100 mobo, for the memes i guess
It can handle 1080p vp8 streaming and so is still a good CPU for general use, but in most cases there are better perf/$ choices when considering long term capabilities and power usage for a given task.
I'd take an 860k DDR3 system with a cheap GPU that has hardware codec support over a C2Q system.
>bragging about being too poor to buy new hardware
Can you recommend me some good lga75 mobo to look for on aliexpress?
Preferably something with ddr3 and sata3
