I would get the Q9450. With your motherboard you should have no problem overclocking it and the 45nm quads are about 10% faster clock for clock than the 65nm ones.
Idk why the heck he bought that with a 780i without consulting me...
I've made enemies that way, lol.
"you bought THAT?!! should of talked to me first..."
yeah it seems to be a dog. my air cooler is partly to blame, but it does pretty frikkin good for being so small and beautiul lol.
it will boot and run stable at 3.6, but the temps are out of control, and i dont much like that.
right now i am running p95 @ 400 x 8 1.3V and my temps are 57/57/57/59
seems a little hot for that voltage, but meh. thats kinda why i want the 45nm. i dont like hot.
what dya think v dub? go with the 9450 or get me some water?
thanks puddle for the input...thats what im thinkin myself...just looking for someone to talk me out of it lol...
I asked him.. and he said I wanted the high clock speeds... I was so close to going to his house and slapping him
