Just to show how much RAW BRUTE power my 2500k had in single thread operations. compared to my [email protected] and my Ryzen from signature.
Btw Lowest Sandy score is with untuned ddr3 running at 1600 highest is with ddr3 at 2133 with 40 hours of timing tuning invested![]()

Thats fine if all you do is play dx9 games. Modern games are using more than 4 cores. Not disputing the power of a 5ghz 2500k lol but they are not the best for modern gaming.

And mine was super poor clocker maxing 4.4 and 2666 rams no mater what. Other people are runnign em at 4.5-4,6 no problem
