hello guys. i got my 960t unlock to 6-core and manage to overclock it to 3.95. u may refer to my siggy. already tested it with prime95 and no crash or error for continuous 2hours. but last night when i was playing games, black screen and crash. so rite now want to know if better for me go for 4-cores @ 4.0Ghz or 6-cores @ 3.85Ghz? i already tried pushing my proc to 4.0Ghz @ 6-cores but not stable.

sadly i'm not folding.
but i will keep my system on 4-cores for now since gaming doesn't need that much cores yet and i want to keep it on low temperature.

i think not, bcause i get 55 dgree on load if i on 6-cores. 4-cores only 49 dgree.
eh higher tdp means consuming more power? i want to keep my pc 24/7. for 4-cores i get around 107w, 6-cores i get 161w if im not mistaken.

yup both on full load. using both ibt and prime95 for stress testing. currently using cm hyper212 evo with arctic f12 pwm(push n pull). ahh so that means 6-core consume more lot power la. i will go with 4-cores for now. later if i feel slow then i just turn on 6-cores. i wonder if my system bottleneck if i go for 6870 cfx.

no budget oo wan upgrade sandy bridge. later got a bit money then go for ivy.
i thought this proc lame, but unlocking to 6-cores with extra overclock it sure worth. but still cant compete with i5 2400. even i3 2100 hard to beat 1.
