Quote:Originally Posted by Shmerrick Why purchase what I consider to be a top of the line CPU if you're not going to run a top of the line GPU, SSD, and memory? If you buy a GTX 680 and don't have pcie 3, you are wasting a large...

Quote:Originally Posted by Murlocke I don't think people are understanding the current 22nm processors. No one will be getting 90+C unless they overclocked wrong. 1.3v = 65C load on high end air 1.31v = 90+C load no matter what your...

Quote:Originally Posted by Liranan But you are wrong, AMD are the best in the low and mid range. It's interesting how many ignore or forget that the high end is meaningless to either Intel or AMD, as we're not even 5% of their...

Quote:Originally Posted by kzone75 Not even that.. Got the question from a regular joe if it is possible to install an AMD cpu in his Intel based PC. And it's not the first time someone asked me that.. It is more cores and/or more...

Quote:Originally Posted by TankerHC Hello. I am currently running an AMD 960t overclocked to 3.4 Ghz through software. Since I am new to overclocking and want to get max increased performance out of what I can afford I am thinking...

Quote:Originally Posted by Klinkey Yeah go home and buy a Phenom II X6, run it at 90 degrees for a day and see what happens... Yeah... 90c means less OC headroom, and needing more cooling to get the job done. That means possibly...

Get whatever is the cheapest. I'm fairly certain that most people won't even utilize IB to a point where they'd know it's an Ivy and not a SB.

At present, I see no reason for anyone to go AMD. 680 is likely to be either cheaper or at the same price as the 7970, while offering perhaps better performance in most games, overclocks well, and you get Physx if you need it. They've...

Your average consumer doesn't understand what means what. They only understand one thing, Intel = the best. This is due to marketing. Even if BD is ****, what does it really matter if AMD is making a profit off what they do? They can...
