Hello, Let's just start this thread by saying that I am rarely upgrading my GPU and usually I don't go with GPUs that are ~100 USD and higher, therefore I'm not looking for playing games on ultra settings. My current build is: Q8300 @2,7ghz (OC) 8GB DDR2 800mhz VTX3D AMD HD6770 The problem...

As I said, paying 200 bucks for 4C/4T CPU is stupid if you do heavy cpu tasks, and I will repeat myself but I see it's necessary - i5 is great price/performance in gaming but not in professional work, don't say that buying an i7 is silly because that's slowly becoming kinda pathetic lol. Second...

Dayum, I have just found that Cryorig H7 won't be compatible with 775 Socket. So I need to find something with same silent performance. Any ideas?

Hello, I've got Q8300 Quad socket 775 CPU. At the moment I'm using random no-name cooling that came with motherboard, it features 70mm fan @3500RPM (makes hella lot of noise), and based on my tests it cools down my CPU to around 35c idle and around 48c in stress test (lasted over 3 hours). I'm...

Okay I had to rethink it and @RobCrezz has a good point. Most affordable and futureproof would be to upgrade PSU and CPU cooler. I'm gonna create a new thread to search for CPU coolers because I've already looked at them and can't find a good one. Evo 212 won't fit in my case tho, according to...

Riiiight, but by going into newer architecture I get cheap DDR3 so I can buy 8GB for dirt cheap, I get lower power-usage, I get lower temperatures, and I get better single-core performance for Photoshop and Lightroom and daily use. What's up with thread asking for "cheapest temporary CPU" and I...

I wouldn't rather want to get G3258 because it's not worth the money, it's slightly more expensive and as I stated I'm looking for cheapest cpu (with simillar performance) available Actually here in Poland it's twice as expensive, and that money that I wouldn't spent on G3258 I can put those...

Hello, First of all I want to describe my PC which is as follows: Q8300 @2,5ghz 4GB DDR2 800mhz RADEON HD6770 And recently I've been searching for answers on buying cheapo' CPU like Celeron G1840 which showed pretty much the same results (winning in single core operations slightly and losing in...

Hello users, I want to have your opinion on my thoughts. That is: I want to do a cheapo upgrade of my PC (around 300$). That is CPU+MOBO+RAM. First let's start with my current build: Intel Q8300 @2,5GHz (actually it is @2GHz coz I think it throttled itself); 2x2GB 800mhz DDR2 CL9 RAM sticks...
