Hello,

Im looking to build a budget gaming PC, and the 5400 Black Edition looks like a decent processor to overclock and game with.

Could someone tell me if their 5400 black edition setups worked well with overclocking and gaming? Also, what Motherboard they were using.

Thanks

I don't have a 5400+ Black Edition, but do have a 5000+ Black edition (same thing really).

I have mine OC'd to 3.3ghz......I have no troubles at any game except Crysis (Both of them) and even then I won't say it's unplayable by any means, just not as smooth as my 9850 Black Edition rig.

Other than that it's a fine CPU for the money.

On my 5000+ Black rig i'm using an ASUS m2n32-SLI Deluxe (wi-fi) (it's just a AM2 Board not a AM2+) but it's a very nice Board

I changed my SIG rig so you can see what I am running in my 5000+ Black rig

^^^ what he said. but it is a mid range CPU, so do not expect 4GHz on air lol

Let me give you a little insight. My 5400+BE running at 3.15 Ghz and my HD4850 averages 19FPS in crysis on very high settings with 16xAA. This is a wonderful budget chip especially if you don't have an am2+ board to fully support an x3 or x4

the only purpose of doing that was for benchmarking purposes in 3 different OS's. (See my tri boot comparison thread). I never run with much AA on. Maybe 2 or 4x. I must say its pretty impressive for a $70 cpu.
The funny thing is this - if you look at that crysis benchmark screenie, I did 2 separate tests. the first test was on high with no aa and only got .1FPS better than very high with 16xAA
