And you should.but I do question it.
And you should.but I do question it.
Well after gaming on an overclocked 2500k it does get the job done but damn you can tell the difference in general tasks. I wish I had a 2600k to compare it to because I think the extra threads would make all the difference.Sad to say, a native quad just doesn't cut it anymore.
eh.... I use a 2600K but it has been castrated from that Melt Down vulnerability update.Well after gaming on an overclocked 2500k it does get the job done but damn you can tell the difference in general tasks.

I have those disabled, and I also have it running at 4.5 with 1866MHz RAM. If I could find my damn spare NVMe drive I'd use it for boot but anything pegs all 4 cores and slows it down.eh.... I use a 2600K but it has been castrated from that Melt Down vulnerability update.
This is a heavily OC'd 2500k @ 4.5GHz with 16GB 1866, 240GB HyperX PCI-E SSD (pre-NVMe), and a pair of Titan Xp's (not in SLI, it's my other mining machine). Playing at 1440p res it games great like you would think with a better than 1080ti card but less than 2080 card. My usual main rig settings on CoD MW I get between 90 and 100fps. Halo about 150fps. RL pegged at 250. BF4-V 90-120fps. Problem is in regular tasks within Windows you can definitely tell where it's aged compared to the newer stuff. When you go from buttery smooth transitions and having multiple things open without CPU being pegged at 100% constantly to chugging on opening a browser or the start menu taking a while to open up it gets noticeable. When certain games are played that are more CPU bound (less FPS, more RPG/RTS) it gets more apparent on the gaming side. The average framerates in the FPS games are fantastic if looking at a sheet of numbers, but the frametimes sometimes spiking because of CPU usage being so high lessens the experience with stutters. This is why I said native quad, because I feel if I had an i7 2600k or 2700k it wouldn't be such an issue.I think any 4-core Intel Core CPU with a low-end modern GPU is still good enough for any kind of 2D gaming and videos in HD. Just lately I re-built my i5 750 computer and gave it to my cousin for office use. I tried emulation with some advanced post-processing on the fly (edge enhancement and such; CPU heavy) on it and it worked without a hitch. Emulation is a big part of my entertainment. With the SATA SSD and 8GB 1600Mhz RAM in it any normal-weight software I threw at it worked great and fast. I put a heavy Linux distro on it in both apps and enhancement. Forgot what it was.
Sorry to hear about your losses, and no it does not. The vaccine does jack all.
Better immune system, and being younger.
You can get Malwarebytes free version and AdwCleaner. Run those two and it'll clean up any thing that is hijacking your browser, Update first before running.Anyone here get a search screen called Freshy? Don't know when but don't see how it did get into my on-line browser. I cannot seem to be able to find where it will to be removed from the browser. any comments or suggestions as to how to remove it? Is this something that firefox uses?
