Jessica Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 so i have a maximus VI motherboard. supports LGA 1150 cpu's. currently running an i5-4430. this motherboard supports i7's. so where do i upgrade from here? looking at intel revisions on cpu's is like looking at nividias revisions on GPU's. i have 8GB of ram and a 1080ti and have plenty of power supply. thanks for the help Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

hifonix Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I7 4790k 4.0ghz / I7 4770K 3.4ghz Would be the only chips I would look at using as an upgrade from the i5 This chart should help see if a CPU is supported. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VI_HERO/HelpDesk_CPU/ Under Construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 for that kind of money i might be better off just getting a ryzen 7 2700x and spend a little extra on a motherboard Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

PaCiFiKbAllA Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have a Maximus VII Impact with the i5-4690k on 16gb of RAM and a 1080ti...blistering fast for what I need it for (mostly gaming). If you plan on keeping the 1150 board, you can either upgrade to the i5-4690k (can OC to 4.6ghz) or the i7-4790k...not many choices when it comes to 1150 cpu’s. 1 x Fi Audio SP4 V2 12" D2 Fully Loaded 1 x Wolfram W-4500.1 2 x XS Power D5100's 250A Singer Alternator 2.67 Cubes @ 29hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarg456 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 You def will get a small bump in performance going to the i7, you may even be able to notice it. I would only do it if you could get the i7 chip cheap. Otherwise you'd be better off investing into some current or last gen tech. A quick look on ebay and I found a i7- 4770 going for $130.

Jessica Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 i'm not sure just going to an i7 in the same gen is going to be worth it, seems like i would need to go to a 7th gen o get what i want, and at that point i would need a motherboard, and at that point might as well go to AMD and get the Ryzen. Damn, was hoping to upgrade cheap. Just going to pay down a CC and get a new PS mobo, cpu, ram...... lol gonna have to reinstall windows at that point, updates oh god Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

hifonix Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 You could look into a Xeon cpu (your mobo supports certain xeon parts) they are cheaper used most of the time. No overclocking on it though. I wouldn't recommend buying a "new" cpu that old. Is there something your PC cant do currently that you want it to do?

Is there something your PC cant do currently that you want it to do? like i said, i might as well go ryzen instead of intel because i need a new motherboard anyway. ryzen seem to be a much better value. performance is way up there unless i want to spend 1000+ on a cpu.

hifonix Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Nothing wrong with the ryzen chips. Hate to say it but HP Omen series pc's for the price are not bad machines... when on sale they are around 800$ for a decent desktop pre-built. This model was on sale black friday HP Omen 870-213w i7-7700k gtx1070 256gb SSD and 1tb HDD 16gb of ram Under Construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
