processor upgrade

[ebfd11]

Well doing a mod to my computer I think I may have fried my cpu
 Problem is when ever o turn it on it shuts before it gets to the boot screen. So what I have to do is get a née processor.

What I was wondering is, going from an i5 2500k to the  i5 3570k if there is gonna be Alan improvement in the speed.

Also is there anyone using this cpu right now.

I have a 3570k...love it, just got it a couple months ago, haven't OC'ed it yet as I haven't gotten an aftermarket cooler (all mine are LGA775). I upgraded from a Q9550 though, so not too sure on performance improvement.

I Use a 3570. I've read the 3570 run hotter in a overclock then the 2500 k. The 3570 is suppose to be a tick + to the 2500k, but then again just what I have read.

Better google and do some research.

might as well get the 8 core since that's the one you wanted last time.  it's only 100 bucks more.  you sure it's your cpu that got fried and not something else?

Sounds like you might not have the CPU fan plugged in.

^this: Check that the plug is is in the right slot and all the wires seated properly in the connector. If the speed indicator can't get a reading the computer won't start. So also check with another fan.

In case you really need to get a new processor, check the PassMark results from http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html. A quick calculation tells that the 3570k performs roughly 15% better than the 2500k. Only very few people can tell the difference below 20% in real life. When I was much younger, some expert told me as a rule of thumb for upgrading is to double the performance level for a significant effect. In your case it's not a question of upgrading, so get the best you want to pay for. A quick glimpse in the price section of the benchmark list mentioned above shows many good performers below $300.

Or CPU heatsink/fan seated badly, wrong way around or without thermal paste..

Or "What heatsink? Do I need that?"

Quantify what a 'passmark' is in relation to actual performance.  The granularity is such that a .01 point difference could translate into one million ops per second difference.

We do not know what the weighting of the tests are.  We do not know how the mullti-threading tests were executed (i.e. the combination).

I give little credence to any synthetic benchmark which does not elaborate how the scoring is done and exactly what is done in each test.  The site gives very vague explanations to what it is doing and how the 'passmark' is actually calculated.

I have a water cooled system and I dont have a fan for the cpu and trying to fill the system after doing a refurb to the rig I forgot to prime the system before filling it. The CPU got extremly hot and after I got the water flowing it kept shutting down. I let it set for 24 hours and it still did the same thing. So in my best guesstimation I FRIED like an egg the CPU.

Well after looking at the passmark I decided to go with the i7 2700k from amazon. I got it for 40 dollars cheaper than what newegg was selling it at. I also am going to prime my cooler this time outside of the rig and then I will finish filling the system.

Well this is what it looked like before...



This is what it looks like now ... minus the screwed up CPU and some other alterations.



So as soon as I can get the new CPU you will see the infamous LawnDart back online.

interesting, didn't know intel was secretly selling octa core desktop cpus, let alone marking them as quad cores...

Let me guess you disabled CPU guard and throttling from bios? That'll fry a CPU allright.

[ebfd11]

Nope I didn't have enough water in system when I fired it up so it wasn't getting water to the heat block.

Duhhhh stupid mistake.

Hmm Intel cpu's are supposed to survive running totally without heatsinks if they are allowed to use throttling. Was your system overclocked on first bootup or something?

Fancy looks i.e. metal wound tubes were the second duh moment - you can't see even that you lacked water in the tubes or that you had air bubbles running.

I took off my stock heatsink for a Dell with a Core2Duo, i didn't realize it was off until I turned on a game and the case fan turned into a jet engine. Put it back on and no damage was done.
