do we really need high end processor these days?

@erwin_rommel, I agree that you could save a bit if you chose an e7200 and a cheap mobo rather that an overclocked e2160 and a pricer mobo, but I doubt if they have the same performance because a cheap mobo and a pricer mobo dont have the same chipsets. Overclocking the CPU is different from overclocking the RAM, they are two different operations. Hense, you are only stressing the CPU and not the RAMs. And lastly, I still believe that the temperatures is a hardware killer not the overclock. If you have a stock heatsink, you would know that an e7200 would idle at 44c and load at 60c. My overclock e2180 would Idle at 30c and load at 50c, so which CPU would last longer? Anyway, to each his own, its your money.

@k.A.i, sory part amo gi hijack imo thread. hehe.

to share an experience in OC'ing bro. running a pentium 4 here, for 5 years, since it was purchased, it is overclocked @ 3.2GHz (from 2.8GHz), never brought it down, running 8/6, never had a problem. uh, i did have a BSOD during the first few weeks (unstable operating environment temps)

that would be in terms of gaming. but on most cases, i.e. multimedia, development, etc, cpu speed and power would still matter.

Yeah it is interesting to see. That the 80 core procs from Intel. Can only do 1 teraflops.

But ATI 4870 can do 1.2 teraflops. Not to mention 4870x2.

I hope I did not disappoint someone.

Theoretically the 4870 is even faster than the 80 core intel. It all will be known if there are drivers and software that will support these GPUs.
Even in productivity applications.
Have you seen 3d marks cpu score with and without CUDA drivers. CPUs could be obsolete. Hehehe.

para nako wla man na hijack
connectado ra man gihapon sa topic..


@gemcadz
waaaaa 2years waaaaaaa

maytag makaabot sad ug 5 years oy.

guba man sad akong savings ana wahehehehe...


akong usa ka pc kay naguba pagkahuman atong super kusog kaayo nga kidlat. bahog sunog ang mobo nya dili na mo-on wahehehe. wla nako napawng akong pc wahehe.

an asus with intel g31 chipset but has overclocking features has the same chipset with an ecs g31 but the price of an ecs g31 is only 2.2k unlike the asus which is 4.5k+. at stock settings, their performance difference is neglible

bro ask lang unta ko ba,

kung unsa equivalent sa p45 nga mobo kung amd chipset?

nindot unta amd kay barato ra ilang mga mobo

[bootbox]

790FX pa ghapon ang sa AMD
pero wait sa mga SB750 na south bridge
kay naa pa diri mga SB600 pa

duha man ning p45 right, katong neo ug naa pa usa, mas mahal ug 1k +

@COMCAM

i think u mean sa MSI bro.. P45 NEO ug P45 Platinum..

yes that's it, I'm glad your around. nindot bya tong MSI P45 platinum, tulo akong laway when I saw it at pcx jones
