IVIYTH0S Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Nope. There's a built in max-clock that limits the maximum CPU speed in Turbo mode. that's good to know, I'd probably just leave it on all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Nope. There's a built in max-clock that limits the maximum CPU speed in Turbo mode. There might be a max clock at some point, but you can overclock while leaving Turbo on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott P Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Now all I need to do is figure out which motherboard to pair with it. This might be the latest flavor of my build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieg1337 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 yeah but you still have the intel am I wrong . unless you need your sig updated I am upgrading. I guess I forgot to tell you guys, and the i5's haven't changed my mind in going with AMD. i5 will cost me $400+ while AMD will cost me $250(Good buddy of mine you know who you are ) It also lets me keep my DDR2 kit and not force me to spend more than $65 on getting a tripple channel kit that has no gains in games.

Good point, being able to reuse your current memory will surely help. What are you getting??? x3 720, x4 940?? Ok, 4gb still costs $70+ (Of DDR3 Dual Channel) to DDR3 :bah: I'll never get it until this system dies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
