WhenKittensATK Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Depends on what you are using your computer for. I mean your not doing crazy stuff like Photoshopping, encoding, or real commercial work upgrading to i7 wouldn't show much or any improvements.

My_Inner_Fred Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 I'd stay with the quad. I7 wont give u a big increase in performance wit gaming. Its better for heavy multitasking.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and what are you going to do for cooling. You will have to buy a new waterblock cause there currently is no Dtek FuZion LGA1366 mount out yet, and probably not for the next month or two. Swiftech has been the only one yet who released an LGA1366 mount out for their Apogee GTZ block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RA1D Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) I've got the GTZ with the 1366 mount and its very nice. Installation is very easy. I'm also waiting on the Fuzion mount though. Edited December 8, 2008 by RA1D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenKittensATK Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Throw on an old Air Heatsink until they come out with new bracket or grab a new block, your choice. 775 on 1366 EDIT: That's if you already had an i7 which you don't and an upgrade to i7 from your current rig won't increase much.

rud3bwoy Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 well i have 1100 to do the upgrade,i already have everything else so i was thinking rampage 2 extreme corsair tri channel and the 300 dollar i920 might switch the block to the swiftech or wait a few for the dtek v2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Yea I just ordered a 1366 TRUE bracket for now until I see what Dtek comes out with. Petras has them in stock $9. http://www.petrastechshop.com/thlgbo1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rud3bwoy Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 hmm still thinking should i upgrade or not,i can easily sell the lapped q9550 and the rampage and the ram... also is the mobo bigger for x58? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
