hey people out there..
please throw ur opinion here regarding this 2 procs..
i got 2 these cpus and i want to sell one of them..

amd phenom be 550 and intel i3 530

which one is good for OC and valuable for money of course..
let the discussion begins..

i3 would be better on oc

i7 2600k la kozo
sell both ur setup now and grab sandy bridge

sandy bridge dont support well machintosh la irei..
i wanna build a rig that could support both system lor..huhhu

spend other budget on mac 27" then
hehehe

sandy bridge dont really support hackintosh..yet the price is still expensive..huhu..
no money like u..got extra money fall from the sky...hehe

core i3 530 can overclock much better.
after overclock, it is a nice processor for gaming and folding as well.

hehe..really bro??but the cache is quite bothering me..i3 got 4mb cache..
amd got 7mb cache..how then??
i read they said that with a bigger cache the proc can handle a heavy duty..

hmm, but i feel clock speed still essential.
core i3 530 not so hard to hit above 4ghz.
and 2 core 4 thread.
overall have faster architecture.

ooo..that way huh..i havent try OC intel procs..just OC amd procs these days..hehe
from ur i dea i got what u r trying to say..
besides, my instinct also want to sell the amd...
i want to build a machintosh machine..dual booting with win7..hehe

i5 is still pricey..

hehehe GEK is here to help u OC'ing ur intel proc

haha, just keep the core i3 530.
for the phenom ii x2 550 be, if hit 3.8ghz already need higher vcore.
maybe need more effort and hardware work together to hit 4ghz.
but a 4ghz core i3 530 still faster than a 4ghz phenom ii x2 550 be.
