yeah my budget is around 800 - 950 . and I am using CM seidon 120. is it fine ?

wow ! this mobo also can reach 5 GHZ, it is stable ?

i'd say evo is suffice for such clock PROVIDED ya chip is capable of reachin d goal. u need better cooler like those 240mm AIO instead of 120mm, & definitely better pair of ram. no doubt ROG offers better mileage (ram especially IMHO) but i'd rather use d moolah saved to get a better cooler + ram. low~mid range KHX suck big time (again IMHO only). i'd rather go for GSkill or mushkin. PD is meant to run at least DDR3 2133 & i doubt ya khx can offer such mileage.

to answer ya question d 5GHz is not totally stable, & definitely not healthy for 24/7. I'd say 4.6~4.8GHz for daily use is possible if ya chip is somehow above average & ur able to keep d chip & vrm cooled.

Can post some x264hd benchmark? curious to see if x264 really can utilize the 8 cores.
ima still stuck on my 1055t lol if the number from you are great, i prolly will hoot 8350

hmm so to overclock i need better ram and cooler ? damn must invest lot of money btw, and with my cooler and ram cant go as far as 4.8GHZ ?

will try that out bro, mebe over d w.end.

u can oc d chip only without changin d ram, but that for me defeat d purpose of havin flagship board like chvz. fx8350 + chvz coupled with khx runnin ddr3 1600 or ddr3 1866 (consider yaself lucky if it can run @ that freq) is imba. i'd rather get 8320 + 990x evo r2.0 + gskill 2133 + h100 which imo is more balanced setup.

but i already have the 8350, and seidon 120, maybe want to change the RAM and MOBO only, any sugestion ?

I'd recommend the Asrock 990FX Extreme3 motherboard, and probably get some decent G.Skill RipjawsX 1866 or 2133 ram kit?

with this setup can push to 4.8 Ghz ?

Cooler pong kena up jugak vcore1.4+ panas tu

hmm tadok duit lebih nak beli cooler, mobo GD80 tu boleh up sampai berapa ?

4.4 je tapi saya noob

HoNeYdEwBoY The temps so far so good. Slightly better than last time. But i think 4.4ghz is max for my Fx 8150.

Guys,

Any estimation when AMD will release new chipset? 9xx series seems to be around for a while now. Want to upgrade my rig, but donno to wait for a new chipset or just buy 9xx series.

not so sure AMD will keep d aging 990FX chipset, but if it means performance boost on cpu & i/o performance, by all mean just do it.

Right now my rig is not so bad. Still can play games without lag. Just my hand itchy, want to try something new. Huhu. Thanks for the link btw.

no point goin for fx at this point of time, pii x4 still a decent chip for gaming purpose. wait for d launch of streamroller then only decide.

waiting Excavator

i think should can be push more above, try to check HWbot what those people submit the result.

For budget mobo, you can go for MSI 990FXA-GD65. 8+2 phase You can get it for less than RM380. For RAM should opt for Kingston HyperX, not so pricey.

So far most HyperX i tested sucks in oc.. so skip it, better go for gskill..
