    4pin vs 8pin cpu connector

    The motherboards in question are This vs This. Ithought since this an overclocking question, it should be in the cpu section, but if im mistaken then iwould be thankful if a mod, replace the theard in the motherboard section.

    4pin vs 8pin cpu connector

    Hey there, I'm helping a friend building a 2500k pc, but he's kind on a budget. my question is how much will a 4pin motherboard(which is cheaper) limit the 2500k overclock? can he hit 4.5Ghz safely? or for that overclock he should be looking at a 8pin motherboard which is more expensive?

    Thing is that idont overclock, and power/heat do matter for me, so thats why iwas looking at them @ stock speeds. Whats the diffrence between the 2100 vs 2120?

    Q9550 vs core i3-2100

    Iwould like to stick with intel, Ididn't own an AMD system sincs the 1st AthlonXP's, Microcenter is like 15 min with car. I've checked anandtech bench and its seems that the core i3 2100 is trading blows with the Q9550 so it would be a fair boost from my E5200. the only dilemma is Old 775 fast...
