Got mine in an ASUS Maximus Hero VII
Any mobos for this support DDR4? Have this in an H81 and looking at the GTX 1080 and wondering if any other upgrades are needed in case it bottlenecks.
Unlikely, don't think the z97 chipset supports ddr4 at all.
Wouldn't suspect that ddr3 would bottleneck be GPU, minimum I'd use in any gaming PC would be 1600Mhz though now.
Gigabyte g1 gaming
ASUS Z97-WS
I bought my one for $330 nearly 2 years ago.
Dat AUD…
Yep mine was 325 after ebay deal…great cpu… too bad the most i demand of my system is running a n64 emulator.
Will it runs DOS Box ?
Which Emu do you use? Project 64? Last time I used it, it barely worked. Do you have a USB N64 controller?
Yeah project64… seems noone made a better one since… still glitchs a bit but mostly ok. Just use a logitec usb controller. Only use this as good games for my 5yo likes to play like super smash bros.
Yes but can anyone show me where i can get them now?.. new?
Please?
There's also a new site called xprice, which I keep forgetting:
Intel sure is Milking us probably costs them $10 to make and add another $100 for R&D
Probably
I highly doubt it.
Sorry Spackbace I wasnt really looking for one… well i was a few weeks ago when my MB died on me but luckily it was covered by warranty and i could not find one high end ASUS or Gigabyte MB for this CPU 1150 socket Z97. there were a few MSI boards left but I'm a GB or ASUS man from way back. It just amazed me why they keep making this perfectly good overclockable CPU and list all the MB's as end of life.
Isn't this 2 gens old? Why is it still so expensive?
Because it's still very good for its performance especially for k series(unlocked), its power can be pushed even further. This locally still sells close to $500.
How does it compare against 6700k? Because that one is $484 at MSY.
I don't know much about CPUs, but benchmarks look good:

name of a top end Z97 MB that this CPU will go into?
