I'm surprised that you can still play new games at 2600k, albeit with overclocking

[@OneTwoWolf]

The 2600K is still surprisingly usable, it even has a good stab at some of the most CPU demanding games around in 2024, truly a legendary CPU! That said, I wouldn't recommend buying it in 2024 for gaming, even a 4th gen i7 should be better due to additional instruction sets and 6th gen intel or 1st gen ryzen better still with DDR4, if you're looking to build something on a very low budget.

[@JimProfit357]

Well, at 4K the difference wouldn't be as wide at least. Sandy, Ivy and Haswell are real troopers that's for sure.

[@8iosatlost209]

Sandy Bridge vs Arrow Lake? 1:2-3?

[@BNR_248]

There's probably more of a platform limitation rather than just the CPU itself i.e. PCI-E Gen 2, no M.2 support, no TPM module (native win 11 support).

[@accord9366]

[@thedigitallens]

Since mobile upgrades have peaked and aren't see big upgrades, this should be the next segment for companies to focus on if we are to get closer to hologram tech.

[@thedigitallens]

I think the next best is 4790k which still runs new games decently.

[@mr.Dragonbiceps]

Big sir i rly appreciate your work since years your doing this helpfull videos and help a lot of people thank you sir

[@odinomniscient7674]

Sorry, I had a question. I sold my h 110 and i 5 7500 motherboard and bought an i5 12400 and a b660. Do I need to reinstall Windows?

[@kevinyoliveira68]

Yes

[@РаЫо]

So if you have like 3060 level gpu 2600k is fine?

[@86techboy]

Surprising i7 2600k still can run. I still have one rig with such cpu but running Win 7. Mainly for retro games but unfortunately Steam is unable to run anymore. Since Steam has cease on older Windows, oh well not big of issue I can find other game store.

[@danielkline374]

My comment, same videocard however old processor not utilizing the cards full potential.

[@siddharth212]

Make a comparison of intel b580 vs 4060

[@Triple6bemylanguage]

why so low temperature? my i7 8700k has 70-80C in stalker

[@lharsay]

Intel improved the thermal design around 10th gen which made their CPUs easier to cool at the same power levels.

[@Triple6bemylanguage]

@@lharsay my is 8th gen

[@lharsay]

@@Triple6bemylanguage which is why it's hotter

[@m8x425]

the 8700k uses Thermal Paste between the IHS and CPU die. If you want better temps then you'll need to delid it and replace the TIM with Liquid Metal compound. 3rd through 8th Gen Mainstream/Client CPU's and Skylake-X i7/i9-7000 series CPUs use Thermal Paste between the IHS and CPU die, which leads to worse temps. 2nd Gen chips use solder between the IHS and the die, and Intel went back to using Solder with their 9th Gen processors. 50c to 60c for a 2600k at 4.5GHz? Sure. This one probably has more OC headroom and TG probably used a good cooler with it. My 2600k could hit 4.8GHz with 1.345v and I was using a Corsair H70. Stress test temps were around 77c at the most. 100% stable

[@LW_RandomVideos]

Well, 2600K is in OC, with water cooled, i guess. Plus the 2133mhz RAM. Without it - 2600K is pumpkin today.

[@АнастасияЛагно-й4л]

Yes

[@m8x425]

4.5GHz.... probably air cooled. My old 2600k could do 4.8GHz with a chunky air cooler like the Noctua D14. It needed real watercooling for anything beyond that. Even the worst of the worst 2600k could do 4.5GHz comfortably.

[@Umairraza720]

[@sailor5493]

13 years apart, 13 generations and nothing much has changed. The merit is mainly the video card, because a more modern processor can load twice as much video card Intel meh

the tendency is obvious. but why did you use 2133mhz ram? it's not that realistic especially if you take more than minimum speed ram for the ultra

I upgraded from a 7700k to the ultra 7 265k, and temperatures and power usage is very good ! on idle, it uses around 8-10 watts and while gaming, it consume 90 watts with 48c temperatures !
