okay
option 1:
buy an x2 3600 (lol sora)
and a tforce 550 mobo and try to push it past 3.0
option 2:
buy an x2 5000 and hope it's 13 multi lets me push it past 3ghz using my current mobo because of the low fsb.
option 3:
buy an evga 590 mobo and try to get my 4200 past 3ghz (supposedly the 590 chipset likes a little higher fsb than my nf4). it would take 275+ to get my 4200 there, it has a 11 multi. 275 is a lot.
help. i gotta buy somethin before i explode.
i gotta break 3ghz, because i just gotta.
P.S.
i notice that the 590 mobo has an 8 pin cpu connector.
my abit has a 4 pin.
does this mean i have to buy a new psu as well, if i choose this board?
or is the 8 pin cpu there only for quad core future proofing hahahaha. dont make me laugh...
