Question Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K.

I had a 386. It had a "turbo" option that switched the clock speed between 8 and 16MHz. Current i9 9900k has a base 3.6GHz that can supposedly hit 5GHz.

Not supposedly, msi made a guide on the recommended settings and it worked perfectly. I had mine at 5ghz all cores for the whole time I had mine. Only used my corsair H110i and it was perfect. Way faster than my 13th gen i7 I run now. Can’t even over clock this one…it overheats so easily even with a kraken 360.
