where the VRMs are
I have a front to back airflow and the CPU is watercooled
if the cpu is watercooled you usually miss out on a lot of VRM airflow
The area around the socket is empty, I can make some better cooling there
But the question is
Is it worth it? 😂
Top are OC
Oh I read it wrong
So it's "minor airflow recommended"
Yeah
For a stock 3950
I'll just try it out
Worst case I'll fry my Mainboard, right?
But you must update bios though. Can't stress this enough
Sure
it'll be fine
the 3950x is surprisingly efficient for a 16c CPU
It is really good bin
Probably taking parts from middle of the wafer
How do you know so well? It's not even deliverable yet is it?
Here it says from 25. Nov on
That's why they've delayed it, it's stockpiled chiplets
Reviews
OEMs have the chips
how's intel i5 sandy bridge?
i5 2400
I'm able to purchase used computers
and upgrade them for general use
it comes with 4 gb ram though
i5 2400 4gb with linux is good enough for paying bills/watching porn/etc id say
if its free why not
they cost like $100
no wifi though, I need to get a PCI card for that
basically the place i work at has really shitty imacs that are dying
and these are the best I could find
for general use like browsing and shit
fist step: check if they got microcode updates against certain attacks :D
if they are imac :/
