| 730683 | 2008-12-18 20:34:00 | In terms of bang for buck, which of these would you say would be the better buy? ATHLON64 X2 5200+ BRISBANE 2.7GHZ c1com.co.nz (HSF: Need some recommendations) ATHLON64 X2 6000+ WINDSOR 3.0GHZ c1com.co.nz (HSF: Stock, or MAYBE this: c1com.co.nz) Now, if I get the 2nd one it is less likely I will be able to afford a decent cooler, and if I get the 1st one I should have enough money to get a nice cooler. So, which would be better assuming I am overclocking. Also, I need a recommendation as to a good CPU cooler. Thanks! |

| 730684 | 2008-12-18 21:01:00 | Neither, Get an Intel. But if you have to, then the 6000+, and just use the stock cooler. |

| 730686 | 2008-12-18 21:32:00 | Yeah 6000+ with stock cooler is fine. Don't try and OC it though, the 6000+ doesn't enjoy more than a 10% OC. I put a 6000+ and 3Gb RAM in a PC just the other day, it hummed along really nicely. |

| 730687 | 2008-12-18 21:34:00 | Yep go for the 6000+. It should be a nice speed boost for you :) | LiquidSolidity (1589) | ||
| 730688 | 2008-12-18 21:40:00 | Interesting....is that the original Windsor core with a die shrink?.....3ghz out of the box, I remember trying to clock windsor to 3ghz....it was a struggle... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 730689 | 2008-12-18 21:43:00 | Yep, I believe so. I had a mate with a 5200+, he could OC his better than mine. I got mine to run at 3.6ghz but it was never stable, 3.3 was the best you could realisticly do, at least with my limited knowledge of OC'ing. I think the 6000+ had a decent factory OC on it already, and its probably 'locked'? |
