as my title states this thread is not for the sake of upgrading just because its new and shiny
but practicality
I'm currently running an i7 950 at 4,2ghz.
and when its necessary i will get a better watercooler then i currently have and bring it up to 5ghz.
atm on any game i ever play I max out at 30% cpu usage.
so my question is, well not question but a bit of a topic to get a debate going upon when i might need to upgrade.
considering the 5ghz ontop of my current 4,2ghz.
Nahh. Ive held off for the exact reason you have. Id end up with a new computer and a bunch of parts that I have a hard time trying to sell. Id rather just wait and see what the next generation looks like.
Forgot to mention my i7 950 is lapped that why my temps are low
