nanoashash Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Alright my current rig is spec down in sig. Im looking into replacing my cpu, i was looking at some opteron cpu but still thinking about it. Any one have suggestions for a socket 939 cpu. Also running vista ulta 64bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Honestly going from an X2 3800 to an Opty isn't worth it. The Opty only has the more cache and is more likely to OC better but really not worth upgrading. Unless you really want a higher OC then I'd stick with the X2 3800.

iamkoza Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 have you tried OC the 3800+? Your ram is only PC3200, but you have a 10x multi, so you should still be able to hit 2.5-2.6 on a divider? would be a free upgrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quazi Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Not sure about that. I went from an X2 3800 to an Opty 185 & am running at 3.15GHz. My X2 3800 would never get that high, not even close. Of course I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to oc'ing, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Yeah but even with the increase in overclock you won't get $100 worth of performance out of it. Just more bragging rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
