What! My Core 2 Quad Q6600 is 11% better then this!
I was shocked when I realized this too
nice cpu…
i think i have a nice system, no bottleneck and playing all the games med-high..
Would my friend be able to run this game ?
His CPU = I3 530 2.9GHz
his GPU = GTX 750 Ti
his RAM = 8GB
It appears you have posted on a CPU page xD he should be able to run most games out there except for ones that are very demanding on the CPU. Just be sure to re-post this on the proper page so people can give you a full response.
Oops xD But thanks anyway :)
can I overclock this CPU
Overclocked this cpu to 4.0
Gets the job done. Still upgrade is needed.
If u don't want to buy new mobo consider getting used i7 870.
My Q8200 11% Better Than This :3
mine too
I have overclocked mine from 2.93 to 3.41 but my score is only getting lower on Heaven bench? why???
Benchmark and look on GPU-Z if it is really overclocked
Lot of things can cause this like thermal throttling
Ya that is what I use, and what is "Thermal Throttling"??
When your cpu reach higher temperatures it downclock and lower voltages (to cool itself)
I turn the fan up for it but it's the stock one.. and I cant touch the voltage for some reason.. but I believe when it overclock it ups it our atleast will let it pull more power because it auto overclocks the ram when I overclock
One more thing. it only hits 60c max..
Is This Cpu that bad for gaming?
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66Mhz is better then this :D
Yes my Q8200 too :)
is this cpu compatable with a gtx 750ti 2gb?
