AMG Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Well I m with others, as the Q9550 is a good chip, yeah fine not as good as the 2500k, but its not really worth it sure may well get more perforamce out of it. I am in the same sort of boat only I have a good reason to, my mobo is on its last legs ( refuses to boot sometimes, sluggish SATA perforamce) need I go on Also the power savings for the same perforamces ( or more) *edit sorry throught it was Q9550 not 9450 oh well just different clock speeds still a good chip Edited December 2, 2011 by AMG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMG Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Well I've had three hdds in it still the same issue, not like it isn't working because it does just temperamental. I have done all I can do, different drives connectors and ports. I can't see three of them doing the same to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooluser Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Are you having any trouble with the games you play? If not, don't upgrade. If yes, see if a overclock smooths the problem, if it does, it means your CPU is not enough, meaning you have an excuse for an upgrade , if it doesn't, your problem is elsewhere.

mizumi Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Don't upgrade. Only thing you need to upgrade is your GPU and that's if you want better FPS with higher in-game video settings. Otherwise, it's fine as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) The Q9450 is a beast but with the selling market being a little fixed for Core 2's for some reason still,I'd upgrade. Your Q9450 will fetch a decent dollar, your motherboard will not (lol) and RAM should pretty much negate the new RAM's cost.
