Everyone continues to come to the office further spreading the plague. People can take days off but most don't and continue to work. No fun, only work until the corporate machine decides you are no longer needed.
Oh did you mean computer virus? Sound like a conspiracy then. The viruses must conveniently be infecting the network whenever TP4 needs a day off. Whenever we have a core system down it's because it's usually some kind of hardware failure or human error and this makes the work day hell for our IT department.
Never had a major virus outbreak at any site I've managed. Infections, yes, but it was never able to spread due to our policies and A/V.
We did have a system that shut down almost the entire network for most of a day, we suspect a bad nic (I've seen them cause all sorts of weird issues) but since it wasn't our system we were not able do anything more than unplug it once we were able to identify the system.
First time I colocated a server the guy helping me install the system in the rack admitted they had a ton of viruses running around the network. I almost took my system and walked out right then. I've since come to realize pretty much every host and network is garbage, it may be cheap garbage it may be expensive garbage, but almost all of them are garbage.
At least they knew there were issues. Plenty of medical providers and financial institutions have servers co-located if that makes feel any better :thumb:. Be wary of anyone who tells you a system or network is secure. It's crazy how even air gapped networks can be compromised. Here let me sprinkle some compromised flash drives with a company logo around a parking lot and lets see what happens...They knew it was there and did nothing about it, what else are they not taking care of?

It seems like the "it departments" in our schools are only paid to turn the computer on. They don't even know how to fix anything. When i have a problem, they need SIX WEEKS to fix it.
Most IT in actual companies have less than a day to fi their problems.

Some school districts are better ran than others. I interned at the IT department of a school district. There was an IT director and one technician. They supported a number of different schools in the area. It was pretty boring. I got to hookup or swap out computers, install software, basic troubleshooting, AV scans, basic administration for user accounts, etc. Beyond that there wasn't anything hi-tech and rarely would they think about taking hardware apart for repair. I think most hardware had some sort of service contract. It was a lot of bouncing around to place to place though. The school I went to had the same support staff except they had a fraction of systems to support and did a crap job at it. All the computers were just really old and falling apart, poor security, totally apathy unless the head IT person caught you playing a simple flash game they would suspend your account. That was okay since I still had an anonymous account and one teachers account and also could get around their web filters. There was one hilarious moment when the disc tray of a cd-rom disc kept opening an closing like it was stuck in an infinite loop. The tech sees and comes to my station and immediately yanks the disc tray out. Problem solved! I think he knew better as he was A+ certified but knew the computers were garbage.
What do you think i use at school! An intel core 2 duo!

As for A+, it depends on when he got it, the old one became an absolute joke in the industry because it was so ridiculously outdated (basically 80's technology). New ones are good for 3 years, but the old one which became a joke is good for life. I started to take the old one and walked out, not only was it too easy and outdated, I can't justify charging more for something just because I have a piece of paper that says I understand 80's technology.
I forget that 90% or more of GHers are here just for gaming.
Forget I said anything, probably for the best anyway.

You can upgrade a Core2Duo to a Core2Quad Q6600 for less than $10 on Ebay.
These work really well if you are not a gamer and even if you are it's still a big upgrade for most Core2duos. They lack ghz, but are still good, especially for $10.
TP's recomendation of the c2d e8600 is a great upgrade for about $15 on Ebay.
These are good for gamers as they have a better ghz speed than the Q6600.
A Q9550 will get you close to 1st gen Core I5 performance for $20
In between the q6600 and e8600 for ghz but with 4 cores these are workhorses that can chew through a lot of data. They don't overlclock like the e8600 so on games that's still a better choice if that's your main goal, but for anything else I'd take this. I've seen these repeatedly punch well above their class, especially in linux.
Like Tp said, with an overclock, the latter 2 can do pretty decent even on relatively modern games. They won't push a GTX 1070 to the limit but it's a $15-$20 upgrade that can make a pretty decent difference. Toss in an NVME to PCIE adapter for $8 (seriously, $8) and a cheap NVME SSD (the adapter overcomes the sata2 speed limitation), and you will embarass A LOT of newer and far more expensive systems. I'd also recommend throwing in a pcie USB 3.0 adapter for another $8 for that sweet usb 3.0 just to round things out.
3770k requires delid for optimal Overclocking.
You're gonna need Liquid ultra (liquid metal paste) after you delid.
Oh gosh I looked into that once. Have to delid and apply liquid metal or even a better than stick thermal paste to optimize heat transfer. I don't have liquid cooling but a instead a high end air cooler. Not sure it's worth all the trouble and potential for damage (not that I don't trust myself enough to do it correctly).
Might as well lap the CPU while you're going hardcore. I'm surprised tp4 never mentions lapping. lol

Lapping is not worth it. especially on non-soldered chips.
It's possible to get a good looking mirror finish which looks flat.
But in actuality, it's probably less uniform thickness than the Factory (unlapped).
The reason this wasn't that big an issue, is because of overclocker's use of larger coolers and alot of clamping pressure
You guys need to send the lid off to a machinist if you want Uniform flatness.
I'm sure half ass-ing the delid process will be fine... totally fine. No one needs to lap CPUs that double as spinning tops or anything like that </sarcasm>

Core2's (depending on the model) are not as bad as you think, their biggest issues are sata2 with spinner drive and the ddr2 memory which due to a hurricane was extremely costly at the end of it's life. Put a standard drive in a much newer system with equal memory and they too run horrible because the drive is going to be a massive bottleneck.
SSDs are what really hurt the core2 platform the most, sata3 was better, but nvme really put the most hurt on it. I've seen atom powered tablets with 2gig ram and an nvme drive run circles around anything core2 can offer, simply because of the drive.

3770k requires delid for optimal Overclocking.Still working up the nerve to delid my 8700k
You're gonna need Liquid ultra (liquid metal paste) after you delid.
The bottleneck is the Q45 express chip, which fails to run 3d content and games.Never had an issue with gaming on mine, but that was a while back.
I have a 3d printed delid tool made, I even have the liquid metal.
Actually the 8700k doesn't have top mounted resistors or capacitors, it's just the (rather large) die you risk damaging and I just don't want to risk damaging a $300 processor.
we never get 'workplace viruses' cuz we're an IT firm, but we do occasionally have to fight a few with some of our clients.
we have always been victorious...
Not concerned with overlcocking so much as dropping temps to reduce fan speeds/noise.I have a 3d printed delid tool made, I even have the liquid metal.You can buy another cpu.. How much LIFE do you have left to waste NOT-Experiencing the JOY OF OVERCLOCK.. !!
