My rig in my system specs has given up due to the motherboard failing and taking out a stick of RAM.
Replaced the motherboard and found it was DOA.
Replaced it again and found the last motherboard would not even show a green light.
So I have had enough and I am going back to the AMD side of processors.
So now I am wondering which processor is the best value vs performance out of:-
FX6100 & the FX8120.
I'll be mainly doing audio recording, encoding and gaming.
I'm leaning towards the FX8120 based on seeing what people are using and what OC they are getting with it.
I don't plan to reach 4Ghz but FX8150 speed and will be using the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ in push>pull.
BTW I will be getting is a M5A97 EVO and 2 X 4GB Corsair Vengeance CL9 sticks.
