i7 920 vs. 940
hey guys i just got a i7 940 to replace the my "old" i7 920
my 920 is oced to 4.2 24/7 with out any tuning

170 is a pretty nice price for a 940 atleast it has a higher multi than 920/930, though seriously no idea about its overclocking capability. But still I am sure with the right motherboard and cooling you will be able to achieve 5.1-5.4Ghz. But dont take my word for it I am just making an educated guess.
About the SSD, the only benchmark where it benefits is PCMark05. I dont think any other benchmark sees any benefit of a SSD.

i see
i monna try oc the new 940 see how that works out, my 920 works just fine, didn't really need a replacement chip yet it's just i wanna have something new every year
my 920 is running 4.2GHz 24/7 no overheating issue at all...
and i am getting a new pot made for me [the guy is still working on it... idk why the hell is taking so long oh well...]
i see alotta people ocing 920s but not 940s so maybe i can try hit #1 2 3 for IT~  lol
i don't think i monna go with the SSD then
if there is only 1 bench that's gonna be benefit from it then F it,
i monna go get another 1.5T

My 920 CO was pretty epic. Did 4.6ghz valid and 4.5ghz benchable with water cooling on a Giga X58 Extreme.
Word of advice for that 940, don't use the even multi's. Stick with 20x + 1x turbo (21x) or you'll pull out your hair.
