Any benchmarks comparing the two cpu's? (AII vs PII) My upgrade is primarily for Starcraft 2 because I dip into single digits in mid game during 3v3's and I was hoping an upgrade to the Phenom II line would reduce lag in mid-late game
Hey guys,
Right now I have an Athlon II and I wanted to upgrade to either than PII965BE or the 1090T. This is strictly for gaming, which CPU would compliment my system more and which is more future proof? I will do a slight overclock but nothing too extreme.
Hello guys
I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 stock and 8GB RAM.
With the stock heatsink my CPU would idle at around 45-47*C so that got me worried and I went on to purchase a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and after installing it today my idle is around 25*C and I ran Prime95 for 6 hours (the...
Hey guys,
I have an Asrock m3a770de motherboard. Currently i have 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix RAM

There is a sale on 2x2GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer RAM with the same exact specs

I'm just trying to save money. Would the XFX be a good choice? I have good airflow in my case. I will try to overclock as well without changing the voltage. Is the XFX a decent choice?
and for what it's worth. How does this card compare to the GTX 560(non ti)?
Which HD 6870 do you suggest? I was looking at these 4 models at Amazon

Hey guys,
I'm upgrading my GPU and wanted to ask which of these cards have the best value? The 6850 or 6870. I really wanted to pick up the 5850 but they are sold out everywhere or are overpriced. I won't be overclocking so which do you think is the better deal? 6870 or 6850?
Overall...
Well I want to play Crysis games with solid frames and Witcher 2 and hoping this setup can run Battlefield 3.
Would my CPU bottleneck the 560ti if I go that path?
I play at 1680x1050 and I forgot to give the details of my PSU and Motherboard.
PSU -> Antec BP550 Plus 550W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371016
Is my PSU enough for these cards?
Motherboard -> ASRock M3A770DE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157176
5870's seem...
Hey guys
My 9800GT is finally getting old for me and I want to upgrade my GPU. My price range is $150 to $200
I was looking at the following cards:
- GTX 560 (non ti)
- HD 6870
- HD 5850
My current setup:
AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHZ
4GB RAM
500GB HDD
9800GT 512MB
What do you guys...
Yes it did. as soon as it flickered and went to single digits i checked my temps and it was at 63*C and my max was 70*C. just for my knowledge, at what temp should I get worried for my GPU overheating? any solutions to my problem??
Hey Guys
I have a BFG 9800GT 512MB with the 266.58 NVIDIA driver installed (without 3D and PhysX)
Essentially, whenever I play a game it works fine, for example I was playing Crysis 2 on 1680x1050 on High settings and I was getting 50fps. After 20 minutes my screen flickers and the framerate...
Hey guys just wanted to know if this memory would work on this motherboard
Motherboard: ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BL25664BN1337
I looked at the memory list and crucial...
Well I am buying a motherboard too. For $60 an ASRock M3A77ODE. I think I have decided to go the quad-core route with 2GB RAM. I just wanted to run my setup by you guys just so that everything would fit.
I have an ATX CASE and the ASRock is a micro ATX, it should fit right?
After the upgrade...
Makes sense Larry. I will be getting a single stick of 2GB RAM. Will I be able to get another stick of 2GB RAM at a later date? With the same timings and voltage, it should work right?
Which is better for gaming and for future proof. If I get the X4 620, I will have 2GB RAM for the time being and can upgrade later. If I get the X2 250, I can get 4GB RAM now. I'm on a strict $200 budget :P
thanks for any input guys!
Hey guys. I haven't upgraded in 6 years and have decided it's about time.
My setup now:
AMD 64 3200+
DFI LanParty ut nf4 Ultra-D
BFG 9800GT 512MB
2x512MB OCZ RAM PC3200
Raidmax ATX Case
Western Digital 80GB HDD
500W PSU
I am planning on upgrading my motherboard, CPU and RAM...

thanks once again
I cleaned the fan with a WD-40 earlier today. The fan is really clean, it's just that its loose and won't buckle down. I'm not sure how to get the exact dimensions of the fan, but any idea if this will work for a replacement? http://www.svc.com/slc-s41-u1-19.html
