panjang110 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) i think my cpu is really limiting the potential of my 7970, so should i get a thuban? i would like to get 8350 but asus haven't release a bios update for piledriver, even bulldozer bios is still beta... the guys at oc.net say it will work but with some minor issue so what do you guys suggest? get a thuban and call it a day or get 8350 and tackle out the issue ( not minor though, after reading a few post there is quite some issue that need attention such as system won't post with ddr speed above 1600,cnq not working etc) *edit here is my rig Phenom II X2 550 ( unlocked to 3 core at 3.8 ) Crosshair iv Formula 8GB Corsair VengeanceGigabyte HD7970 WD Caviar Black 1TBEnermax NAXN 82+ 750W CoolerMaster HAF922 Edited March 14, 2013 by panjang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazman167 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Thubans are great CPU's. The problem is finding them. What minor issues do you know of? If they really are not significant issues i would go with the 8350. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 If it's a good deal, I love the Phenom X6's. Just make sure they aren't overcharging you because they're hard to find! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
panjang110 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 a lil bit overcharge but i'll live with it hehehe better than messing with my head trying to find the right bios setting just to get the cpu running Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
