IM finally upgrading my cpu!!!!!

ste2425 · Oct 8, 2009

ive been searching recently for a new cpu as allot of you guys have helped on and my search has come to an end!!!! Ive found a nice little E8200 that im going to pop in my rig i crnt wait just thought id share the good news an wanna say thanks for the links and other cpu's you guys have shown in my other threads :toast:

[Ion] · Oct 8, 2009

You'll love it, it's the same clockspeed as my Q9400, which is still a beast with only 2 cores enabled (I was doing a test where I was running it a 2.33ghz with only 2 cores to see how it compares to my E6550, the result is it is 15% faster clock-for-clock)

New kit is always great

I'm already itching for my next build.

ste2425 · Oct 8, 2009

aye i crnt wait whilst this cpu has given me supprisingly good performance its got the the point where i get an itching feelin its lacking now, like games would stutter or i wouldnt get unplayable fps but certain textures in a new area of the map for example in games would take a while to load up

Ha ha, so terrible isn't it?

I've built 2 rigs for myself in the space of about a month <_<

Sorry to burst your bubble but that really isn't an "upgrade" just a sidegrade. The difference in speeds wont be that crazy, don't get me wrong it will be faster and you will get more fps in games just don't expect miracles.

kenkickr · Oct 8, 2009

I would think that the huge Cache difference would make quite a difference. Also doesn't the 8200 have a much faster FSB compared to his current proc? I'm not a intel guy so very much out of the intel loop

if he run it at stock, then yes but if he oc he will se a nice performance increase in cpu demanding games.

ste2425 · Oct 8, 2009

from a E2180 id says its a large enough upgrade, from 1 mb cache to sumit like 6. from 2.0 stock to 2.66 itsa fair enough upgrade for me

are you serious? it is a very heavy upgrade, generations forward, much smaller die....hell, im not even going to list the differences, im just going to pretend I didnt see this post. Hell, an e5200 would still be a heavy upgrade to an e2180.

mrhuggles · Oct 8, 2009

im looking forward to getting ahold of me a Q8200, ive got an e2140 myself but overclocked higher, 3.2ghz

i tried but it must be ma board then as i couldnt get over 2.9 stable

mrhuggles · Oct 8, 2009

i was having issues with the cpu side FSB interface, BSEL mod to 266mhz fsb [from 200] seemed to get me to like in the range of 415mhz or so fsb, always wanted to go back and try 333mhz BSEL mod but im a little bit not sure if i really want to try to take off that defogger repair stuff.. that stuff is pretty well on there good.

ste2425 · Oct 8, 2009

i dnt really no what you said lol, every one seems to oc with such low fsb? is that coz you change the multiplyer? i have nbo control over that with my mobo so all i can do is bump up the fsb which might ave been my problem

mrhuggles · Oct 8, 2009

thats all we can do, right now my FSB is at 400mhz

kurosagi01 · Oct 8, 2009

congrats on upgrading your cpu dude

i want upgrade myself but i would need a new motherboard =( and my brother gets annoyed and say stuff like "why you want upgrade cpu for your cpu gd enough" and so on, and i don't even know what cpu is good upgrade

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

Well a quad core would be the next logical step eh : ]

I can't recommend buying from TPU members enough, you'll likely get better support and a much better price for most things.

Especially CPUs and such

because I bought my xeon from an American Member I actually saved myself a fair amount of money : ]

mrhuggles · Oct 8, 2009

you mean can right?

yea i thought that

pantherx12 · Oct 8, 2009

actually I meant " Can't reccomend buying from tpu members enough"

But managed to bugger up on an epic scale D:

Reefer86 · Oct 10, 2009

it made perfect sense the first time panther

ste2425 · Oct 10, 2009

i just wish it'd hurry an come through the post then i get to do some benches

miko2323 · Nov 9, 2009

Good idea to upgrade to Q8200 or Q8400? or just get the C2D equivalent (Price)?
Rig is used for gaming Mainly.

xBruce88x · Nov 9, 2009

how much would you want to part with it for? your old chip i mean... I figure its gotta be a little better than my pent D, although my cpu has done pretty well so far

edit: nvm i see your in the uk, shipping would probably be more haha
