Possible Upgrades

hey guys,

I’ve been looking around for stuff to upgrade this summer/spring. As you can see I have a E8400 and I was thinking of upgrading to quad core something like Q9550 EO and trying to overclock it a bit.

But what is the quality of my motherboard? On the gigabyte site it looks pretty good it supports every CPU and DDR2 ram.

What I also can do is overclocking my E8400 (still not done) and buy more RAM and a Radeon 5850 and see how Battlefield Bad Company 2 runs.

so anyone advice?

C1 vs E0 x3360 (q9550)

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:33:48 +0000

I am planning on getting the xeon equivalent of the q9550. The only problem is that it has the c1 stepping. I have been searching, and have found no definitive information about one being better than the other. I have found several site where people say the E0 overclocks better, but have no proof of this. Does anybody know how much of an impact this makes? I do plan to overclock, and I am getting this for around so it isn’t like I’m spending a lot for this or anything.

Band vs. Band

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:33:47 +0000

Okay let’s try this out. First person posts:

Band 1 vs. Band 2

Second person chooses one of them (Band 1) and offers a challenger.

Band 1 vs. Band 3

This might fail though.

I’ll start I guess:

AC/DC vs. Metallica

If you don’t know the bands, look up one of their songs! You might just find something you like

Also, give a reason if you want.

Help me choose parts for my i7 upgrade.

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:33:46 +0000

In the process of saving some money and working towards my next upgrade. I want this upgrade to consist of a Core i7 CPU, 1366 motherboard and 6Gb of DDR3 RAM. Here’s where I ask for your help. There are so many motherboards for this platform that grab my attention and on some of them I just can’t seem to find he difference in performance. I also have a problem where I tend to go for more expensive items as I feel i will regret it later on in the line. Anyway here are some of the motherboards I was looking at for my upgrade

Asus P6T SE

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-…-SATA-RAID-ATX

Asus P6T

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-…-SATA-RAID-ATX

Asus P6TD Deluxe

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-…3Gb-s-RAID-ATX

These are the current motherboards I am looking at. They’re all relatively similar and Asus have given me good quality motherboards in the past so I have no issue going with them again. If you could give me a quick thought on my choices and maybe save which is best for myself that would be awesome. If none of the above tickle your fancy then suggest your own, all I say is try keep in under £200 or close to it.

For the next part of the thread I would like some guidance on RAM. It all seems very expensive compared to what it used to cost and want to make sure I am getting a good set if I am dropping this much cash into it. Here are some of my choices below.

6GB (3×2GB) Corsair XMS3

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/6GB-%…-9-9-9-24-165V

6GB (3×2GB) Corsair XMS3 Classic

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/6GB-%…-8-8-8-24-165V

6GB (3×2GB) Corsair Dominators

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/6GB-%…8-DHX-XMP-165V

Again, if you could drop me some knowledge on RAM for the upgrade, these were my choices above. If you can recommend something better then please do. To complete the upgrade I am going with the Core i7 920 D0 stepping. This will be cooled by my Prolima Tech Megahalems.

If you are going to make any recommendations then it would be a appreciated if you could stick to using www.scan.co.uk due to having quick delivery, great customer service, low prices and I get free delivery from there to top it off.

Thanks alot guys, all helpful posts will be rewarded with +reps!

Crooks.
