Hello guys + gals I am doing a pc build this holiday but i have a few questions. my main purpose of this pc will be for 3d modeling/rendering and games. i'm having a tough time deciding on either a high end am3 or lga 1153 3way sli mobo. with the am3 board i can get a amd phenom2 x4 965 black edition and with amd coming…
i7 920 and overclock the hell out of it my buddy keeps it at 4 ghz on air, and it doesn't get over 70c. Best performance for the price, I don't think AMD has any processors with 8 threads. And the i9's will come out after a while, which are 6 cores/12 threads, and with a lot less heat.
ive been on a Phenom II x4 940 for a while now and its done me quite well, i use a quad core intel at work and it doesn't seem much different. I personally think processor's are over rated :P
