why take picture when the test is off ? You should have posted load temps not when the cpu is running 0% i bet your load temps were around 55c right ?.... When load hits temps can jump 10-15c right away thats why its best to take pics of cooling when your at load. Not if you have "been" at...
Ok then, i decited what im going to buy then.
Gonna get the X4 Phenom 940, 1066 G.skill DDR2, and the that Gigabyte MA790X UD4P, people said to wait on video cards but i hate waiting. Gonna get the Sapphire 4890 OC it has a promotion right now $20 off so $200, plus a $15 rebate...
Any idea what the price range will be tho? Because if its $300+ i dunno if i would want to buy that. Think i should still hold off even if i could get a 4890 OC @ 1Ghz for $200 ?
I have another question, iv heared people say high voltage for DDR3 can hurt the Phenom's. Like 1.7v or something like that. If that hurts the phenom then wouldnt using DDR2 which usually always goes to 2.0 and 2.1v hurt them ?
How does this work exactly
Seems the 940 and X3 are pretty even for the most part stock vs stock against a E8400 altho the E8400 is slightly faster. So i guess overclocked my cpu is probably better then both.
Yea i dont want him to have a better computer lol, im the one paying for all this
Yea but are these X3 and quads actually faster ? Im doing this to upgrade my brothers s939 system, but if i buy him say a X3 im afraid it might actually be better then what i have. Then the X4 940 or 945 is only like $70 more so i might as well get that if the X3 is better and give it to...
Im just wondering guys. Im about to upgrade my computer here if my damn check ever gets in the mail "guy has forgot to pay me 3times now" i should get it on Saturday or Monday, and thanks to help from another thread iv come to a decision on what to buy but i still want to know something. My...
My bad then i must have had AMD on the brain i was refering to Intel tho as i did mention my E8400 as an example more then once in my posts. I edited my post and removed the AMD i dunno why i said AMD so that was my mistake i must have been scatter brained with a upgrade im about to do.
Excuss me ? Your confused mister. I have a E8400 45nm not a AMD cpu, the 45nm from Intel quad or c2d is not recomended to go above 1.26vfsb. Plain and simple..... How did you ever come to the conclusion that i was talking about AMD anyway ? I mentioned my E8400 in there once
Yea it is and the sad thing is a $280 920 can get you to 3.33ghz or 4ghz if you overclock it and i doubt the $1k cpu would overclock much higher even if its does 100-200mhz is not worth $600 more. BMFX how high have you gotten your 975 extreme i assume thats what you have ?
Yea you know its tempting to get a i7 but im not selling my e8400 system i was going to give it to my brother if i ever upgraded mine.
Thats why i was asking for combo's that included a video card. Thanks tho for helping i do like that ram you posted which gives me an idea.
I think...
