I think the set up is good for ya Candle. Your going away from AMD?

[candle_86]

lol yes

[xmountainxlionx]

the real question is can it hit 4ghz on air

[JrRacinFan]

Easily!!!! 9.5x multi with a stock 1066 fsb. Would only need an fsb of 422 @ max multiplier. For some reason I just don't think the board would be ok though.

Personally I'd go with this:

But thats just personal preference. 90% of boards I owned were abit.

My vote would be for the Wolfdale. Reading through the reviews on the links above, one guy hit 3.8ghz with "OEM Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro in conjunction with some Artic Silver 5."

3.4ghz + not unheard of with the 7200.

[J-Man]

It COULD hit 4GHz with the correct cooling solution and voltages. It'll hit 3.4GHz easy.

[candle_86]

4ghz with 1.5v and good air cooling is what xbit and legit review report so thats what i'll be shooting for.

[Cold Storm]

I think you can get it.. And if not, then I bet it wouldn't be anything less then 3.8 with the right cooling...

[candle_86]

well after i take care of CPU, my next step is to replace this 7950GT i was looking at either the 8800GT or 9800GTX, gonna skip the 8800GTS 512 and go for the better power if i spend around 300 anyway

[Cold Storm]

That sounds like a good thing to do man. I jumped from the 8800gt 1gb to this 9800gx2... Not as big as your jump, but I think going 9800gtx is the way to go!

[thoughtdisorder]

Don't know if you can swing another $50 bucks, but if you can check this one out (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037). It's been hitting 3.8 on stock coolers........

If ya can't, the 7200 is still sweet! :toast:

[hayder.master]

if you take the e8400 that will be perfect
