New I5 Maybe

Dent1 · Jan 2, 2011

I think I'm going to wait until the OP verifies the processor model that he'll be getting. We are all basing our arguments and opinions on speculation. For all we know his mate might be a noob and he might have a i7 9xx ready to swap lol

Well if I had to guess noobs I would say you cause I would bet an 1156 chip so core i7 8xx

Don’t get smart,

Neither you nor me have seen the OPs mates motherboard, and hence neither of us can confirm its a 1156 chip. There is ambiguity from the OP and the OP's mate which processor he has, so as far as I'm concerned there could be ambiguity as to which socket he has.

He has held its a i5 I don't see why he would get it all confused more than likely 1156 dual core and ops buddy got an 1156 i7 quad

I'm still waiting for you to say something constructive. None of this uppity nonsense has helped the OP one bit, all its doing is inflating your post count.

rickss69, congratulations :toast:

Neither is saying "intels dumb buy a 1055t cause 4yrs down the road it will perform better in 1 game" yet you give your 2 cents.

Prolly, but you could'nt do anything with it other than look at it on desktop... :laugh:

Thanks for all the replys, Now hopefully to stop people arguing with each other it might be best to say i do not want to go back to AMD, I have used AMD most my life so i want a change for now so will stick to intel.

I still haven't managed to find out what intel I5 is in my mates pc but i have manged to get hold of someone who will lend me some DDR3 to test the pc so i won't need to take it apart.

Steve-007UK · Jun 10, 2012

Right first of all i know this is an old thread of mine but i don't see the need to make a new one as the questions i have are still based around an I5 sandy bridge CPU.

So let me start by saying my mate started being an idiot so the swop never happened.

This is where i am at today with new parts or parts i will be getting.

Stuff i have recently perchased.

OCZ 750W Fatal1ty Series Semi-Modular PSU | Ebuyer...

Things ready to be bought.
Coolermaster HAF 912 Plus Case | Ebuyer.com
Intel Core i5 2550K 3.4GHz Socker 1155 6MB Cache.....

My problem is what motherboard to get, I do not wish to go over the top so my budget will be a max of £130. I have been looking at an asrock mobo.

This is the asrock board
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Socket 1155 DVI VGA HDMI....

I have read this board is pretty good and seems to have more than enough fetures that i might use at some point so i guess my question is now is, Does anyone own this board and how does it perform.

Thanks in advance.

Might as well go P67 with the 2550k as it doesn't have an integrated gpu on-die.

Welcome. Shop around though because you might be able to score a Sabretooth second hand for your asking price. I think the Asrock P67 Fatal1ty is in your price range along with the Sapphire Pure Black Hydra.

Thanks again for the advice, I have decided to go with the Asrock P67 EXTREME4 board and should be ordering it at the end of the week if the weather dosen't mess up work again like it did last week.

JrRacinFan · Jun 12, 2012

You're quite welcome anytime. If you need a little bit of help just ask, we basically got the same board.

Steve-007UK · Jun 15, 2012

Right i have £125 to put towards the new mobo but i am a bit confused between the asrock boards.

Asrock P67 EXTREME4 V3 1155 Socket 7.1 Channel HD....

http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B005FGMQAQ/?tag=tec053-21

Both these boards have a very simler name but look totaly diffrent so what would be the best one to go for? If they both perform pretty much the same then i will just go for the cheaper one but if you recommend the other because it has better fetures then i will then choose the better one lol.

JrRacinFan · Jun 15, 2012

Gen3 has a PCIe 3.0 bridge chip for use with Ivy bridge. That's the only difference from what i can tell.

Steve-007UK · Jun 15, 2012

Thanks

I will just go for the cheaper option then as i do not have anything that will need PCI-e 3.0

Will be nice to have a hole new pc again, its still going to take about 3 more weeks before i have everything but its defo worth the wait lol, Bored of my core 2 quad Q6600 now so need something new to mess with.

Bo$$ · Jun 15, 2012

try using YoYotech or Ebuyer they are cheaper. try for a gigabyte or Asus board, their BIOSes are generally better in my experiance

Steve-007UK · Jun 15, 2012

I don't like asus and thats all i'm saying on that, Will have a look at some gigabyte boards but i think i will end up getting the asrock.

I do use ebuyer and am looking on there at the moment.

Out of all my asus boards I've yet to have a problem. The only boards I've had problems with in the past were MSI but they have come a long way.

Upon having mainly used Asus and Gigabyte over the past year I must say both were just as good as the other.
