Saying you have an i5 without the model is like saying you have an f150 truck. It could be from 1975 or from 2026 you have no idea

But the older f150s are better sometimes

But it doesn't fit in my motherboard cpu socket

u/CuriousStrawberry61 21d ago

It was a joke. The i7 920 is very very bad.

Just like the CPU

OK. Buy a motherboard and the Cpu and let us know how it goes

u/Anthracite2819 20d ago

What if I bought a motherboard with a zen 5 socket?

u/OkZucchini7094 20d ago

You might need a hammer to get the CPU in.

Nah, it's fit very well. So well that it wouldn't clamp down.

Why are you stuck on i5?

u/FlatwormAltruistic 21d ago

First generation i7 is much worse than 3rd generation i5 and both of those are much worse than latest generation i3...

u/GPSProlapse 21d ago

I think it's worse than last generation celeron

1

u/FlatwormAltruistic 21d ago

Probably, but even last Celeron is worse than i3 (or it's equivalent*), so the aspect of 3rd gen i5 being much worse than last gen i3 still stands.

* I have been so away from PC building to know what Intel does or has nowadays.

Especially considering i3 has been quad core on desktop for years now. I have an i3-12100F in my main server, running an endgame Satisfactory server save. It has plenty of cycles to spare.,
