AMD Phenom II X6 1065T

[skitz9417]

hi im just wondering is it ok to buy a used cpu

and i have a couple of questions

i have a 8+2 motherboard so will i be able to hit 4ghz with that chip

for cooling i will use a nh-d14

and will a hd 7950 or gtx 770 bottleneck it or should i wait for the next gen of amd gpu

Man , get the FX-8320 which is much better and will not bottleneck anything ( new for 160 Dollars on only ) . and it's good future proof since it's 8 cores and overclockable to more than 4.5

FX-8320 becnhmark score : http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+FX-8320+Eight-Core

one more thing : the FX-8320 is the best value CPU in the market at the moment .

i kinda just wanted to upgrade my cpu and then my gpu

and i just saying im going to be streaming

for streaming !! you'll need that 8 core processor !

you have already and AM3 motherboard ?

 

[skitz9417]

yea i have a am3 motherboard ga-ma770t-ud3p

 

[KareemGT]

in my opinion !! , AMD Phenom II X6 1065T is the best choice for you at the moment , go ahead and get it but it's better to find a new one .

what is your budget for the upgrade ?

 

[skitz9417]

500 dollars for a cpu and gpu upgrade and i live in australia

that CPU will close the gap between the HD 7870 and the HD 7950

HD 7870 + FX-8320 better than X6 1065T + HD 7950

one of my freind said this

you'll be fine if you can get it to 4GHz. i had mine paired with a 7970. pushed that sucker to max in my games. BF3 MP 64 only saw 77% cpu usage while maxing out the gpu. here are some benches . . .

PHII X 6 4GHz and 7970 stock

this supposed to be your friends HD 7970 and AMD Phenom II X6 1065T 3DMark 11 Benchmarks .

Alright !! am gonna do an 3DMark 11 benchmark using my hD 7870 and the FX-8320 which has pretty much the same gaming performance as the FX-8320 which i had listed it before .

i will show you me results using the HD 7870 and the FX-8350 as soon as the benchmark Ends .

Check this out buddy , my score at the left side compared with your friend's score .

http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/6934281/3dm11/6462334

so , you'll be fine just by getting that CPU + HD 7950

but think a lot if it's worth getting an used AMD Phenom II X6 1065T + HD 7950
or an New FX-8320 + HD 7950 + AM3+ Motherboard ( you'll get much better chance to upgrade the CPU in the Future )

one more thing , the FX-8320 is much better for future if you are looking for better future proof since it's 8 cores processor and it has Beast performance in multithreaded apps which can smoke most of the under 250$ processor ( intel & AMD )
the current games uses less than 4 cores in gaming , so the 8 cores are wasted in gaming for now , but the upcoming games ( next Gen games 2013-2014-..... ) will start using the 8 cores technology in gaming and that means the FX-8320 will be much better choice for upcoming games even better than the i5-3570k ( 210$ CPU ) .
and for those whom saying " 8 cores will never be used in gaming " so why the upcoming consoles developers used an 8 cores CPU in the consoles such as the Xbox One and PS4 ??!

yea i think i may just go with the x6 1065t and hd 7950 then when steamroller comes out if it does i will upgrade to that

I don't have much experience with the X6 processor but I did just buy a 1100T off Ebay to test. From what I've read it... it should do well @ ~4GHz.

I don't think you need anything more. Your GPU should be able to handle the rest. The 7950 is as a very capable GPU. Enjoy!

really i was thinking because all the new games coming out i only have a hd 6950 1gb and i have a 1080p screen and a 1600x900 as my secondary screen so what do u think

 

[ElMoIsEviL]

The new games coming out will appreciate the 6 cores. The 7950 should be able to handle BF4 and new games coming out as well. So it seems like a solid build.

A 6950 1GB, however, seems a tad weak for the task.

 

[chromic]

how does your friend get only 8800 GPU score with 7970..?

wouldnt have a clue hes not online so i cant ask him

 

[skitz9417]

im just asking will my 1600mhz ram work with the x6 cpu

 

[chromic]

im just asking will my 1600mhz ram work with the x6 cpu

yes.

 

[skitz9417]

would the x6 1090t bottleneck the hd 9950 when it comes out

Phenom II X6 1065T is old and terrible mate, do not buy it. I have a 1035T and it completely fucks with my system. I bought a prebuilt that had the 1035T and a 5750 in it before I knew how to build computers. I put a GTX 570 in it and it runs most GPU-intensive games very smooth but any games that require CPU it completely kills it.

Want my advice? Don't waste time with old gear. Don't worry about price. The $200 for a good CPU might seem like a lot, it is not. Work overtime, or cut money elsewhere. What is more important to you, saving a measly $200 and being frustrated or just spending the money and forget about it while you seamlessly enjoy your games?
