965 c3
 
I wanted a new cpu so i'm leaning towards the 965 C3, i can get it for around $130 NIB

should i jump on it ?

it would be a nice break from i7, and it would be going in the CH3 thats in the closet :laughing:

Kal-EL 12-02-2009 04:04 PM

Do it! :morpheus:

DrNip 12-02-2009 04:11 PM

Nevermind. I see the egg has them. I would do it.

Ha you beet me to changing my ignorant response.

Assassin48 12-02-2009 04:16 PM

Its cool

Ill probably do:
Highest Validation on Air
Highest Validation on Dice

i would do a water validation but i have no AM3 block

DrNip 12-02-2009 04:21 PM

AMD is a different ball game. That is what is fun about overclocking to me, the challenge. That's also my downfall as once I conquer the challenge I need another, and another, and another...

Buckeye 12-02-2009 04:47 PM

C3 is a blast :)

Chicken Patty 12-02-2009 06:13 PM

alright Juan, fun awaits ahead :)

I can't wait till I get this freakin' i7 running right. Get a couple of benches going. Then to build my AM3 rig :D

Keep me posted when you get the CPU, I'm interested in finding out how it does as I am getting one also.

No way !

Where the heck were you when I had the benching party over here.

I did that OC in like 5 minutes and rushed through all that to get a post up on Simons thread. This C3 is amazing really as I have played around with it more, so far only Air Tests.

Damn, why didn't I think of it :laugh:

I really need to get some benches in soon. I have a M3A79-T board coming to me soon. Then I can really bench the shit out of this i7 :D

Assassin48 12-08-2009 04:37 AM

i managed to hit 4.1ghz but 4.2 wont load.
Going to look for an am3 block to push past it, but for now i'm going to put an ultra kazi on the true and see were it takes me

Chicken Patty 12-08-2009 05:24 AM

Health first man. I'm trying to decide if I should bench the i7 or the amd setup I'm getting. What you think?

i would go with the one you havent Overclocked in a while, for me it was AMD

Neuromancer 12-08-2009 07:02 AM

Oh 965 C3 :clapping:

I need to get me some new AMD toys to play with, see what arctic air can do to one of them LOL

Chicken Patty 12-08-2009 08:09 AM

I just like amd/ati for daily use. Feels snappier. Plus I'm a amd fan :)

Kal-EL 12-08-2009 08:13 AM

My truck wouldn't start, had to bring it into the shop to thaw out.

Neuromancer 12-08-2009 09:56 AM

Been in the low 20s here a couple of times (-7C). Nothing a sweatshirt cant handle.

Kal-EL 12-08-2009 10:11 AM

Awe yee poor bastards! :taunt:
Least you guys don't have to run an a/c unit to get some nice air clocks. :good:

Chicken Patty 12-08-2009 11:27 AM

I love the cold!!

Neuromancer 12-08-2009 12:42 PM

Hey Kal, Who is complaining? (I mean aside from you ;) ) lol

Kal-EL 12-08-2009 05:00 PM

lol, it'd prolly be nice to have that monster a/c unit that Assassin posted running while doing some LN2 runs so theres less condensation.

Assassin48 12-09-2009 04:54 AM

doing a little more tuning
