I have been using my MSI 790FX on and off for some testing with PII X2 555 (unlocked to X4). Now I am thinking of replacing my gaming machine's Gigabyte 790GP-UD4H with a new setup.
Question - can I use the MSI with the X6 1045T and OC to atleast 3.5Ghz and also make use of 16GB/32GB DDR3 ram so I can load up some VMs too (this way I consolidate both machines to one).
Read people complaining about the board catching fire with a X6. How many have such experience here with a X6?
The Gigabyte doesn't give me stable OC more than 3.1.
Other option is to build all new with 8350/8320 + decent board (Asus 99FX pro or Sabertooth).
Can I getaway with rebuilding with the MSI? Not sure what the next generation FX will deliver, kind of want to wait for it.
