QUOTE(zer0hour @ Sep 9 2008, 06:08 AM) Well my processor is a tray (OEM) one as well. IMO OEM processors are perfectly fine - the death rate of Intel processors is so low. With EE processors even more so - those are Intel's highest binned and best silicon. Also, pinpinmiao's a pretty reliable seller i think - I've never personally dealt with her, but her thread's full of good comments. Ok now the million dollar question: Is it worth it to buy a QX9650 over a Q9550? If your plan is value for money, then no, the Q9550's a way better buy, and you're better off spending the RM900 or so you save on a 4870x2. Only buy the QX9650 if your plan is speed at any cost =p Thanks mate. All I need to ensure no bottleneck occurred with my system. Read some reviews state that 3.5 quad core is the best assurance. Planning to get 4870. If I feel that 4870 x2 is worth it, then will grab that otherwise. Need to get Logitech G25 to play grid now. This post has been edited by shawn-mode: Sep 9 2008, 06:31 PM |

IMHO, 3.2 ghz is d sweet spot for quaddies... quaddies are famus for d temp issue... even my x3320 on 3.075ghz is hotter than my E2160 and using stock vcore je.... |

Yup, I'm using the I45. It's very good, can get my fsb up to 500 with the x3320. My old IP35E was hitting a wall at around FSB470. Shawn - you're welcome. Best of luck with it  |

Aha I don't use my mobo 24/7 at 500 also la. Running at 467FSB 3.5Ghz for daily use..
Added on September 9, 2008, 6:32 pmQUOTE(OC4/3 @ Sep 9 2008, 06:26 PM) IP35E much easier to go 470FSB Yupz this is very true though. I45 is very fussy - any settings wrong = cannot boot or BSOD. IP35E whatever settings also most of the time can boot one =p This post has been edited by zer0hour: Sep 9 2008, 06:32 PM |

I'm using the BIOS - never believed in using the software. And yes, it's way more complicated. Many settings =p
