Lga 775 era

i miss him :'( it was a good time.

If it had USB3 and SATA 3 support I'd still be using it.
>those heatsinks

im still on that shit tho

x5450/P35 checking in...

Why you miss 775?

It's still quite usable even now if you do the LGA771 mod with a good Xeon on it.

I had that too and it was an amazing step ahead, but the subsequent 1366 with its i7 920 was the really big step for me.

>What is E8400

>no RGB anywhere
>actually functional heatsinks
>no black meme
is absolutely correct. If LGA775 had SATA3 I'd still have my Q6600

> If LGA775 had SATA3 I'd still have my Q6600
Why not just add a PCI SATA3 card then? You might even get USB3 along with it.

>no RGB anywhere
They are so gayming that they usually can be told to stay off.

>actually functional heatsinks
Mainboards still have them and the ones for CPU actually got better.

> no black meme
Even that is possible.

this was top end 10 years ago
and barely usable now but still can play 1080p youtube videos

I still have a spare one with a Q9650 in it. It's still a pretty good back up to have. Even my backup backup E8400 PC is a great shitposting machine.

>Barely plays 1080p.
You're so wrong.

Those Blue and White PCI and Ram Slots Will Always Have a Place in my Heart

9 years ago the i7 920 came out. Twice as fast at lower power consumption. That was *the* big step into the current lineage of CPU, also by co-processors and all (not very much missing vs today's CPU).

775 was just a teaser, foreplay to the real thing.

still on my i7 920 familam.... alost 10 years with a 3.5ghz overclock

what i paid for 6gb tripple channel ram still makes me cry tho

Still rocking a 975x at 4.5GHz stable, and have been for years. Never even crossed my mind to upgrade

1366 is where its at. Yet, no X58 motherboard for cheap. The CPU are dirt cheap. Its always the fucking motherboards.

I've always wondered why are the motherboards like that, even the cheap chinese shit is expensive

i am always amazed after all this time my x58 never cooked itself... those fuckers liked to run hot... like 80 degrees celsius... legit thought i had a defective board for some time with those temps

this, also don't get an X58 board, use a dual LGA1366 server board. literally ~$50 on fleabay.

I'm running my E8400 till today. I'll switch to R7 1700 when I can get a mobo + ram, then I'm gonna take this baby here to my momma's house and it will keep living and kicking for another decade. 775 was an amazing platform.

775 was the start of something amazing for intel.
And now that can't even stand up straight with all the fuckups they've made just this year alone.

That board is fucking cancer
Nforce 680i chipset could not handle quad cores properly

The xeons didn't offer any better IPC, right? They just overclocked better from what I remember.

Never got it to work on the boards I had, but ran my q9450 at 4ghz on water and it was pretty beast.

Had it on 3.6ghz on air in my quest pc up until a year or so ago, ran every singleplayer game fine, but struggled with the big cpu intensive multiplayers like BF4 on full 64p servers.

>im still on that shit tho
I'm about to get on that shit yo

i have an asus p5q with a xeon e5450 clocked at 4ghz stable.

I miss you :'(

what kind of RAM? I have a p5q-e and thinking about doing this mod. have a e8400 at 3.7ghz right now

>have a lga 775
> no usb3
> buy pci-usb3 adapter for 15 burger coins
> enjoy usb3
> no sata 3
> has sata and ssd
> can't notice difference
> thank you server, keep on serving

How long will my e8400 last? the fucker wont die

regular 800mhz or w/e 8gb of ram

Don't know about IPC, the thing is that they're cheaper to find compared to consumer Core2 Quad equivalents because of corporate dumping. You can find ones with a 4000+ Passmark score for around 35-40$ so it's sort of like getting a more modern i5 for your ancient 775 board.

Still run these two beauties at my parents place.
