until around 5 generations old or when it breaks

Jeff Eaton · Jan 20, 2018

When it doesn't keep up with my games, so, not for a really long fucking time lol

Until it doesn't do what you'd like it to do

im still using a 3930K, LGA 2011. And i can still play anything at high fps with a 1080.

If it still does want you like it to do, you're fine. Otherwise, you can upgrade

Until the motherboard shits out and you can't find a reasonable replacement

My last cpu lasted 7ish years and is still going.
My 5820k should last me at least 5 years

Mustafa Aqil · Jan 21, 2018

At least 5 years, imo.

CPU's last a really long time.

I still using first gen i7 980x . Till this day there is not a single game that this cpu couldn't handle. FPS in games are well beyond 60...
