821065 2009-10-16 04:13:00 I have a 975 cpu o/clocked to 4.0

I know of several people who have 920 cpu's running at 4.0.

I want to know why I paid 4 times as much for a cpu for the same speed.

Are there any other ways my 975 is better than a 920?

821066 2009-10-16 04:24:00 I'm pretty sure I told you once NOT to get the 975, and that the 920 overclocked was just as good.

Too late now:rolleyes:

I also told you not to get a 975 Jack......would have been better if you bought an SSD instead, as sol suggested.

Well then I'll shut up.....:horrified

Oh, and what cooler are you using? I'd hate to think it's on stock cooler at 4GHz!

821071 2009-10-16 06:30:00 Well man, you bought it. Always research before buying, researching afterwards is pointless (and almost always depressing).

Now since you made the investment... Time to get a nice water cooling setup and try and see how close you can get to 5ghz. :)

Seeing as you 300gb SSD... Wondering what the rest of your setup is.

Too True!

JJJJJ could probably afford both!
