I got a new setup this august and I guess I didn't do enough research before I bought everything. I currently have: i5 3450 3.1GHz MSI 7850 2GB 8GB 1333MHz RAM 128GB SSD 1TB/500GB HDD Cooler Master PSU 450W I work with Premiere CS6 and I often have to export longer videos. I have a rather...

I knew there would be one either way. I just want good arguments on which to choose and why?

Hello. I know there have been quite a lot of threads about this. (And I do not wish to start a flame war) I'm planning to get a new PC rather soon and currently I can't decide between these two CPU's. I mainly would use it for video editing (Premiere and AfterEffects), but I'd be playing games...

I have no idea. But I removed it. Put it back. Reapplied thermal grease and it works.

I reseated the CPU. It's all good now. I should have tried that earlier. Thanks. This can be closed now.

MB: Biostar NF520-A2. CPU: Either AMD Athlon or Phenom. Don't know. I don't really want to remove the heatsink. PSU: Chieftec ANP-405A12 405W GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce 8400GS

Hello. I'm helping a friend with his PC trouble. Basically, I start up the PC. There is no signal. No response whatsoever. No beeping no anything. All the fans are on, but there is no signal from GPU. I tested the gpu on my own pc and it works. I tested my gpu on this pc and it still didn't...

Hello. I've been going around, researching different parts and stuff. I am not buying a pc too soon, maybe in the next 6 months, but as of now, I'd like to research different option for a build. My budget would be ~600$ It would be used for: Internet browsing Gaming (Nothing too intensive)...

Oh. Alright. I rally don't know why i imagined it's possible. I guess, just a dumb idea. :kaola:

Hello. I'd like to find out, what would be the best way to build a small form factor pc, for about 100$ or so. What would be the best choice in hardware?

Sorry for the double-post, but for some reason I'm, not allowed to edit posts. The thing is that I need a new CPU, but my budget is really tight right now. Buying the athlon x3 is not the best thing to do, but It seems that I have no other choice.

I currently have an AMD Athlon X2 5400+ (2.8GHz). It's a brisbane with a defective temp sensor, so I need to get a replacement. I'm planning on getting a new mobo soon and a new gpu.

Hello. I am planning to buy a new CPU. So. I was wondering would my PSU (400w) be enough for it. AMD Athlon II X3 450 (I'm thinking of buying this one, as I don't want to build anything powerful.) (It's 95w instead of the old one - 65w) MSI Nvidia GeForce 9600GT Gigabyte M61PME-S2 2x1GB DDR2...

Oh. Alright. But what about comparing those two CPUs? I guess the Athlon 3x 450 would be better, right?

Hi. I have decided that it's time to upgrade my old CPU. I don't plan on buying anything expensive as my PC is mostly used for internet, movies and a few games. Not serious gaming. I'm thinking about AMD Athlon II X3 455. It's 3.3GHz and there is a 4th core that can be unlocked. Then there's...
