I beg to differ.
I swapped my 2011 i5-2500k for a 2012 i7-3770 and it was a nice and cheap upgrade.
Used hardware is cheap, there is no reason to not upgrade it all the way.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoYou’re really depending on your mobo to not blow a cap and using way more energy. A used older ryzen 5 is comparable and much better, and the mobos are current. Even a newer intel F processor isn’t much more the 3770K is way overpriced for its performance.
- pantalaimon 5y agothe 3770 was 30€ on ebay and given the rising TDP numbers on Intels latest desktop platforms, I really doubt it uses any more energy than a recent system.
