Sell 1 and your cpu, pick up a 965 C3


or wait for the 6 core versions to come out


I'm really impress with mine, 4.2ghz @ 1.5 is nice, temps are around 38C with prime95 running for 30mins

Thx fellas i'm think of selling my my I7 rig and pocket a bit of cash to head again into the AMD arena. There really isn't anythig to dislike about my current rig but I'm a bit bored.

Was thinking about this set up http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCart.aspx?submit=Change selling my current rig and making 200.00 to apply to a bit better video card.


Or if I wanted to get even wilder and save/ make 300.00 this one I might buy and I bet in the real world I would see little difference. http://secure.newegg.com/Shopping/ShoppingCart.aspx?submit=ChangeItem

For performance the i7 1366 is the way to go, there's no denying that.

get a new cpu if you want to play with something new

For gaming AMD is a little more affordable but with 1156 out and the i5 750 going for $150 @ microcenter its a tough choice

Yeah the i5 750 slays the PII 965 (and that's at the stock clocks of 2.66 and 3.4 respectively) so AMD is in trouble right now.

I'm not sure it slays it, and they are more expensive on the lower end. However, almost all the cpus both companies sell are great for day to day use.

There's a few benchmarks where the 965 edges out the i5, but there are a lot of benches where the i5 is on top (especially in games), and we are talking on stock clocks here where the difference between the 965 and the i5 is huge, and the 2.66GHz i5 can hit >4GHz easier than the 3.4GHz PII. Overclocked to 4.13GHz, the i5 obliterates everything and runs very close to similarly clocked i7s (sometimes even beating them--memory controller?). A PII 965 costs $10 less than an i5 750. The sum of these statements is what I meant by 'slays'.

well im not selling my 5850s i watched newegg for 6hrs just to nab 2 of them and finally got them at 4am est back when they first were released, at $259. While i want a 965 c3 with new mobo etc; again no money to make said purchase, and if i sell what i have now theres no reason to upgrade. I am bottlenecked by my cpu on crossfire 5850s if i sell a 5850 the bottleneck is gone i want full perfromance so im hoping to save some cash and grab a 965 125watt drop it in wait a bit then upgrade to a 790fx board when all you guys jump on the 890fx boards and ill grab ddr3 as it will be cheaper then as well. that way i can get full AM3 platform goodness overclock to 4ghz with my xiggy and call it a day and when thuban comes out i can wait and see how good it is

 

[trt740]

May just keep what I have, it's so good I'm bored. Well I could do a rebuild and have all kinds of trouble and be sorry but I really like amd.

if your looking for an AM3 board, i have a UD5P that i'm selling. Buyers backed out, Pm me if interested.

This 965BE c3 i have is a nice cpu, 4.2ghz 1.5v Stable

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

sent you a PM how well does that gigabyte board clock? as i was looking at the Sata 6gbps usb 3 version of the board u have

damn i need more cash god i hate being broke all the damn time if i had my way id have my Am3 setup already running and my AM2+ setup up for sale or possible giveaway

 

[aCid888*]

I had a little play tonight....here is the result. \

 

[sinar]

Single Stage, bios temp -8C idle
Vcore @ 1.714V bios
NB @ 1.4V

TRT i would straight trade you your mobo and CPU for mine

 

[Fitseries3]

anyone know how or if i can unlock all 4 cores on my 550be on my ecs 785g mobo?

 

[brandonwh64]

Hmm maybe if it has ACC and even then its like the luck of the draw

 

[Fitseries3]

where would that be located in the bios cause i dont think ive seen it yet.

Yes you can here you go

[eidairaman1]

depends on the motherboard maker aswell, also there is no guarantee the other cores on that processor if any are in any good condition.

im trying to beat your 945ES on air with a phenom 910

 

[TheMailMan78]

gah all you guys and your engineering this and awesome that -_- kind of depressing for me haha i have 2 awesome gpus and a cpu that cant push them

WTF are you talking about? Thats more than enough CPU to push them cards.

 

[cdawall]

gah all you guys and your engineering this and awesome that -_- kind of depressing for me haha i have 2 awesome gpus and a cpu that cant push them

why cant a 940 push them my 910 is clocked plenty high and is retail on air...getting a 620 today going to have some fun with that

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

did a few tests cards scale linear with clock speed increase for me in multiple games 3ghz 3.2ghz 3.4ghz each jump shows another 5% increase so a jump from 3ghz to 4ghz would in theory give me 25% and ive seen the difference in frames between my setup and erockers from clock speed alone he gets a rather large increase compared to myself

going AM3 + higher clock speed would result in some cases of a 30% improvement with ddr3 etc thus why i need to upgrade

and my gigabyte board just wont clock my 940be at all 3.4ghz is the highest it will boot at where as my old asrock would allow 4ghz

that and i keep telling myself if i upgrade now i can get a drop in Thuban later

 

[eidairaman1]

swap the processor
