>spends $700s almost every year near tax returns upgrading PC.
>still plays games that this piece of shit can run just fine.
Why do people even bother upgrading their hardware after 2011? Does it have something to do with not saving money and being an obese American?
>plays your gaymes and operates your programs and dual monitors at acceptable performance.
Better upgrade so I can play league of legends at 250 fps instead of 120.
Fuck man, I can't run pubG at 150 FPS. Fuck saving money, time to spend my tax returns.
The Phenom II is way too loud. Otherwise I would have kept it.
>integrated circuit.
>loud.
you need a new heat sink.
Nigger it's 125W

fuck off you whiny cunt whore, you charge like fucking 40 percent tax on food and other shit just to get more refugees to blow you up and lol its not all muslims, lets embrace islam for a better and kill eachother. Europe is a fucking joke i cant wait for you shit heads to get what you deserve
Wildlands benefits a lot from a new GPU, but yeah a 2600 is still perfectly fine for anything.
I've just been spending everything on storage and an HDTV these last couple years.
There's not that much you can do with a 125W CPU, you can put a AIO waterblock on it but it's still quite a lot of noise from the pump and fan.
A 65W TDP CPU with the Be Quiet Pure Rock that's rated at 140W, on the other hand... that's nice. I've actually set the standard fan RPM to zero, it'll kick in after 20 minutes at full load (encoding videos or something). This alone makes it totally worth it.
Caveat to be aware of: It and coolers like it are so massive they hoover above the first RAM-slot on most (all?) motherboards. You'd be screwed if the RAM sticks have large heat-spreaders or RGB lights sticking up..
lol, I am American, and a vet. I just think most Americans are fat fuck hedonist who can not forgo any sort of discomfort, then they bitch and say they are poor and need socialism.
Feels good knowing that poor faggots pay their rent to me while I run 7 year old hardware that still plays all the games I like, runs my dual monitors and multimedia server.
The modern American goes to star bucks everyday, then gets on their 2k gaming rig, then bitches about why they don't own a home.
Ya, this has been my mindset lately. An SSD is the best upgrade you need, then large harddrives for pirated HD movies.
Having a CPU that’s 20 times more powerful improves a lot of shit including browsing with multiple tabs and shit. It’s not necessary but it’s nice to have.
>he thinks that a 7 year old processor cannot do this.
>Europe is a fucking joke
You have no idea.

A few members of our Swedish Riksdag (like the US congress, I guess) proposed to use the military to restore orders in the no-go zones that the police have retreated from and no longer go to. It was not passed because of objections to using the military against domestic threats. I do agree that the military should absolutely not be used against the domestic civilian population but I find the proposal useful anyway: It's the first time members of a major party admitted that Sweden now has no-go zones that require the military or something like it to "restore order".
Remember my post when you see or hear someone talk about the benefits of socialism.
I can tell that you didn't read or understand my post.
>not opteron

i feel for sweden then most of europe, you guys arent whiny assholes that make fun of us all the time you guys dont give a shit really. its germany and the brits who mostly whine.
Ok.
Here is my old 1055T 125W with H212.
Where's the benchmarks for playing 8 instances of the same game?
I had a phenom ii x4 960
Single core performance wasn't enough anymore. I had to say goodbye.
It was falling behind on video editing and gayming
I only upgrade when my PC can't do something I want. I still have my 2500k and it works fine.
I also don't play games.
How does that help me? Unless you have a decibel chart under load this is completely unrelated to my post. You might have as well posted a map of New Zealand.
Do you have a proper Swedish news source for this, like an established newspaper or something like the BBC? I'm not trusting info from Breitbart.
>I can't believe it's current year and people still buy new cars when 20 year old rust wagon can still get them from place a to b just as good
Maybe not all people are poorfags and enjoy nice things in life?
I upgraded half a year ago to ryzen from my imac 2007 that I got from my parents to my 17th birthday, honestly using a 10 year old computer wasn't this bad.
>Maybe not all people are poorfags and enjoy nice things in life?
there's nice things and there's just flushing money down the toilet. buying pointless computer shit is the latter, user.
Not the guy you're talking to but
svt.se
This is essentially what the breitbart article says, but without the connotations.
He might be referencing the fact that under 50% load only allowed the CPU to get to 26c
Productivity
But if you're asking about gaymen specifically. Streaming.
I don't upgrade regularly, only when necessary, and when I do I consider price/performance ratio, future-proofness (limited in computers but you can anticipate which will soon be a bottleneck) and upgradeability.
a better cpu isn't pointless if you can feel the difference.
So? Any decent air cooler can handle that. I had a Noctua NH-U14S on my 1090T, overclocked to 4GHz at 1.45V, and it wasn't very loud.
t. poorfag rationalizing his shitty hardware
Upgrading every 5 years isn't even expensive. Kill yourself already, poorfag.
Same reason why people upgrade their phones every year.
I have a 3470 and it's perfectly fine at any game, even the newer ones like PUBG. Won't be upgrading until 2020 or after.
Do people really do that?
I waited 7 years to upgrade from a C2D E6300 to a FX 8320. It's been about 4 years since that and I have no reason to upgrade right now. Even the new games still run fine. The only upgrade I made since then was buying a 1050 Ti
vr
Yes people really upgrade on an almost yearly basis. Tax returns are a big deal for most people who live pay check to pay check, even if they make 50k a year and have no family.
air coolers just take the heat out from the cpu into the room. my room literally gets hot from my computer. i have an AC but i much prefer having my window open and breath some fresh air in the summer, spring and autumn.
>I don't use my PC for anything but gaming, so my CPU is still perfectly fine!
>I swear it's not because I'm poor!
I understand not upgrading every year or even every 3-4 years. I also keep my tech as long as I can. I went from an Athlon X3 with the fourth core unlocked and a moderate OC to a Ryzen R7-1700X. The differences are vast in every single regard. The newer instruction sets alone make it worth it.
>Even new games still run fine
Why do people lie like this?
It's ok if by "new games" you mean games released in 2011, but in 2017 an FX8320 is NOT gonna cut it.
Probably he's talking about shitty indie steam games
Not necessarily. DOOM 2016 will run like a top even on lower end AMD hardware because of it's DX12/Vulcan Implementation and overall fame optimizations.
I still remember Wolfenstein TOB running at only 35-49 fps on my old FX-9370 (clocked to 5.4ghz) and R9-290X though. I got a used Haswell i5 and even at stock I almost doubled performance in that game with the same card.
I know but fuck me I see that kind of post so fucking often.
>Hurr durr my 2012 quad core runs new games just fine! No need for an upgrade!
Even at 60hz gaming quad cores barely cut it for new games. It's just such blatant lies.
And then when you point it out they usually say
>hurr durr playing new games
or
>hurr playing shitty games
Worse than console owners.
I'm still using my old shitbox with a Phenom II X4 965 BE and it's still so good after all these years for games and everything else. I stuck a 750ti and upgraded to 8GB ram and it works like a fucking dream for ArmA 3 and even fucking GTA V on medium settings but I have no real need to play more demanding gayms
Some games, the point is that the norm is that quad cores barely cut it nowadays.
I would know, I had a 3570K and upgraded to Ryzen eight core.
>mfw low-end 2011 build ($400 total)
>has yet to encounter a game it cannot run decently enough
>it's almost 2018 already
Heh.
That being said I'd still buy new parts if I weren't a poorfag (it's my tool of work and investing in it sounds like a good idea).
>air coolers just take the heat out from the cpu into the room
And what do you think water coolers do? Send it through a portal into another dimension? You're still sending the heat into your room, just via a radiator and the fans attached to that.
Water coolers just use water as the medium of heat transfer as opposed to air. Regardless of cooling, your PC well still be dumping hot air.
I have an FX-8350 overclocked to 4.4ghz and an MSI R9 380 4G GPU and it runs Doom and Wolfenstein New Colossus just fine. Heck, even it can run BF1 on high settings just fine and still can game around 60-70fps. Face it, you Amerifats and Western dweebs just waste money on frovolous things not needed for your day to day existence.
i know, i wasnt that other guy. i was just saying having a shitty phenom is not worth all the heat.
Yea. If you have a phenom with a half way decent cooler for an OC, by all means go right ahead. But I know people who have spent $70+ on a cooler for an old as fuck chip, and it's like why even bother. Take that money and buy something new for fucks sake. Then get a killer cooler if you really feel you need it.
>Mfw my buddy refuses to part with his i7-980 and he recently spent $200 on a custom loop to keep his 4.0ghz OC stable.
>Why do people even bother upgrading their hardware after 2011?
Because AMD CPUs until Ryzen just weren't up to par with Intel for audio production. There are other use cases for CPUs other than gaming.
I'm on a 8370 @ 4.7ghz.
It's fine for all I do, and I probably won't upgrade for another 5 years or more, at least until Fallout 4/Skyrimjob 2.0.
I still love my Phenom II X4 955 but I had to replace it unfortunately because the latest games are now requiring SSSE3 support which the CPU doesn't have.
>BF1 at high settings with a 380
Not a chance in hell you fucking liar, I have a 380X and that shit doesn't run BF1 at high above 60fps.
I gave my best friend an i5 4690 as he is an avid car simulations player. (he doesn't have much money).
He said it was night and day with his former quadcore Phenom.
So there is a huge difference between 2007 and 2013 cpus
Even if it's just 5-10% perf gain a generation, after 10 years you have a 80% - 150 % faster cpu.
So no need to upgrade every year, but after 5-6 years you'll get a really decent boost.
Provided it will keep on going on like that.
On my side, I upgraded from Athlon X2-6000 to i7-4970k and it was incredible a difference.
