Lackadaisical Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Once, the only time I ever actually swapped out processors was back on socket 939. Went from an Athlon 3200+ to an Opteron 170, which also coincides with the longest time I had one system. I stayed with that DFI Lanparty board for ~5 years.

XtremeDS Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I haven't done yet but will do in the future since I still use a Phenom II X2 Am3 in a AM3+ board. Still waiting for better CPUs for the Am3+ socket. :tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 No for me. I pretty much do a total system upgrade every few years or so. Never bothered with just a CPU upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 E4500 to an E8400. Â Otherwise, I replaced a dead 2500k with a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
