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: |
Do it! :morpheus:
|
Nevermind. I see the egg has them. I would do it.

Ha you beet me to changing my ignorant response.

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 |
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...

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. |

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. |

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 |
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 |

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

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

That's not f'n cold.
-32C here this mornimg. Damn cold for the last 4 days. My truck wouldn't start, had to bring it into the shop to thaw out. |
Been in the low 20s here a couple of times (-7C). Nothing a sweatshirt cant handle.
|
Awe yee poor bastards! :taunt:
Least you guys don't have to run an a/c unit to get some nice air clocks. :good: |
I love the cold!!
|
Hey Kal, Who is complaining? (I mean aside from you ;) ) lol
|
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.
|
doing a little more tuning
