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

Middle part leaks less electricity

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 :/

they are bitch to repair
