i didn't actually get to the point of reseating the cpu. after i loosened the HSF mounting bracket and realized that it would boot i just carefully tightened it back down and went on about my merry way.

after much deliberation, money scrounging, etc.. I finally bit the bullet and ordered an MSI z97 gaming 7 (thanks TorryHolt81) and an i5 4690k to go with it. nice! i had been using an i7 920 OC'ed to roughly 4ghz on an old P6T for years and years and i was ready to move on. you might've seen my...

i picked up a mushkin chronos 480gb for $170 from newegg yesterday. seems like a good deal to me. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226372&cm_re=MKNSSDCR480GB-_-20-226-372-_-Product

i should try this on one of the 4x 120mm yate loons with broken blades i have laying around. friggin things are FRAGILE.

that's the comparison i was looking for :D thanks for the input

haha i gathered most of that. i've been playing around a bit and hit 4ghz stable at 1.26v, maxing out around 78c ;)

what kind of cooling do you use to achieve that temp under load?

yeah....i've had this puppy for at least 6 years. been through at least a video card per year. i think i'm just feeling the mobo/cpu itch because it's been so damn long....

this is the main reason i've gone so long without upgrading CPU. if i can get 50+ fps in current gen games on max settings, i'm happy. this thread has given me alot of food for thought that needs digesting. i may end up just waiting it out for a while. i was looking at 290x prices yesterday...

i've pretty much decided not to go the xeon route. though i do appreciate all the feedback ;)

if i do upgrade mobo, the old hardware is going into one of my old mining rigs and it'll be my son's new PC. i hate to get rid of badass hardware even if it is 7 years old.

haha that looks awesome. puts me down around $250 as well! 6.2ghz yikes. 5ghz and call it a day for me :P
