New pc parts!

[KmanN]

Well my current pc is 2 years and 3 months old and the stupid on board chip keeps over heating making it impossible to keep everything else cooled.
I replaced the thermal compond on my cpu ( which it pulled out of the mobo when removing the heat sink..... yea i know thats not good) and my gtx 260. they run fine but the mobo temps go nuts and make the gpu over heat and giving me crazy ass glitchs.

so i got a nice some of money coming in the next few weeks and decided to just replace the motherboard, ram and cpu.

Current spec's:
AMD Phenom Quad core 2.5ghz
Asus motherboard M3N78-VM
2x 2gb kingston ram + 2x 2gb O.Z. ram
GTX 260

2 month old rosewell 530 watt power supply ( my bfg 550w popped on me )


Now this is my parts im looking at:

Asus mother board SLI ready - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636
2 of these ram sticks - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104238
AMD Six core processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851

now my question is should i get the above motherboard or a none SLI motherboard basically is sli worth the money? (graphic card price dont matter mobo does)


Love some input from yea nubs

What kind of graphic card u looking for ?

[BikeDriver]

that motherboard is alright. multiple grahpics cards are pretty useless but the problem is that you cant find really good motherboards with only 1 PCI express 2.0 16x slot so just buy it and nevermind that you have a second slot.

i dont quite understand you btw..
first you say that your onboard graphics chip keeps overheating and then you say that you have a GTX 260? WAT?!

also: if you buy that CPU then you need a better graphics card too because otherwise the CPU will never be fully occupied.

also make sure to buy a mugen 2 cpu fan. she is awesome and cheap

btw AMD's bulldozer 8 core CPUs will come in a few months and then you need a new motherboard again (AM3+) so i think you should waittttttttt

How much does that one cost bike? cuz im lookin for a new one

[BikeDriver]

about 40€ / $70

unbeatable price for a noiseless cpu fan. you cant hear it at all. the only thing you might hear is the sound of floating air.

i dont hear my PC at all if i turn off my case fans. but then the HDDs turn pretty warm over time..

ok so i decided on going with the parts you see listed and seeing that i have the extra cash im toying with the idea of getting a new graphic card. so which do you guys think is better of the two?

GTX550 Cuz its the new upgraded version of the 450 ? It only makes sense tbh going from 450 to 550.

I would deffo go for the 550 since it has better clock speeds and newer OpenGL

GTS450:
Core Clock: 882MHz
Shader Clock: 1764MHz
Stream Processors: 192 Processor Cores
Effective Memory Clock: 3800MHz

GTX550:
Core Clock: 951MHz (vs. NV Ref. 900 Mhz)
Shader Clock: 1903 Mhz (vs. NV Ref. 1800 Mhz)
Stream Processors: 192 Processor Cores
Effective Memory Clock: 4356 Mhz (v.s. NV Ref. 4100 Mhz)

You will notice the difference between the clock speeds. The GTX550 looks like a overclocked version of the normal 550 Nvdia produced as you can see inbetween the ()

kmann you are a RETARD

dont buy nvidia and AMD..

you already decided to buy AMD so you HAVE TO buy ATI 6xxx... you have to decide how much cash you want to spend..
something like this is by far better than GTX550 crap:

I do agree with bikedriver on this kmann. It would only make sense if u use AMD CPU you just use ATI videocard since AMD bought ATI. So their drivers would be even more in sync with eachother specially the latest releases of video cards 5xxx or 6xxx

[KmanN]

i would have to say you too are wrong i have another system with the same card and a AMD phemon II 1045T six core and it gets 30 fps in bc2 on all high as where my gtx 260 gets the same. i also dont really like ATI's driver support.

[BikeDriver]

of course all the newer cards wil run this bullshit fluently but the benchmarks prove that ATI is bettaaar than Nvidia.

ATIs are cheaper, need less power, are cooler and due to that quieter too (most of them at least). also as wildstyle retard said: ATI works better with AMD. of course you will not notice this in your old shit games but go play some newer shit in full HD and you will see.............

kmann you are a RETARD

I do agree with bikedriver on this kmann.

i would have to say you too are wrong

iaihuauahiuajhaijauh:))))))))))))))))))

GTX 460 SE
ahahahahahahahahahahah

[KmanN]

one more thing my BOARD IS A NVIDIA CHIP SET BOARD...

[[eVo]PvtBenny]

Actually ATI and AMD run hotter than intel and Nvidia do lol bikedriver lol. And yes kmann ofcourse AMD will run just fine with Nvidia. But honestly i would just go for Intel+Nvidia or AMD+ATI.

Ive had nvidia before and i really didnt like it and now i got ATI and i love it.
