I saw the HIS but i chose the Saphire over it because i think of it as more mainstream imo.

 

[HostileDonut]

Yeah, I would too. Hey, what does IMO mean? I see it all the time and wonder what it means.

 

[purple stain]

pretty sure it means "in my own opinion"

 

[HostileDonut]

Okay, thank you.

 

[purple stain]

Your welcome.

 

[HostileDonut]

So, Mr. OP, what are you going to do?????????? Are you going to get the Phenom II X4 840 and a hd6850???????? It would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Also, what RAM do you have??

 

[aasifdm]

well well well well...... u guys are really doing a good job...wish u all were nearby i wud have thrown a party to u guys.... and i wud get the hd 6850 for sure and processor again i have a confusion btwn athlon x2 and phenom x2....i want the one which is future proof for games and nothing else and it shud work on my mobo and pc..... i have presently 2 gb of ddr2 ram transcend and i wud upgrade it to 4gb i suppose.

 

[aasifdm]

phenom 2 x4 840 is not on the cpu support list of m2n sli deluxe.

 

[HostileDonut]

Well, the Phenom II X4 840 has the same socket, and even same TDP, so I am 99.99% sure it will work. What is the name of your RAM, maybe we can help you out.

 

[aasifdm]

i have 2 sticks 1 gb each of ddr2 transcend ram and its havin lifetime warranty, hostiledonut thx for the option but as i said i dont want to take the risk as u are 99.99% sure, i dont want to take any chances cuz i want be able to fix it for a long time if it doesn't work for me.

 

[HostileDonut]

What are the names of the RAM sticks? Like Corsair XMS2 1gb 800Mhz sticks, or what?

Hmmm.... that wasn't spam...... *sarcasm*

Yea you should definitly think of upgrading your RAM.4G will do much better than 2G.Try and aim for that as soon as possible.6G is the sweet spot right now.

Well, then he wouldn't get dual channel. I would rather have 4gb dual channel than 6gb single channel.

 

[aasifdm]

guys i wud upgrade it to 4gb and can u help me out in finding psu in indian market ? its should be cheap and good.

 

[purple stain]

Just make sure you get over 550watts and it's 80 plus certified.

 

[aasifdm]

ok....... but anyone can find a link ?

 

[purple stain]

Since it's in Idia, i would have no clue where to start looking...
I'm in the US.

 

[HostileDonut]

Yeah, I do not know what sites to look at, can you link an Indian site????

 

[aasifdm]

let me look out for it....and one more thing where my home is has a very high temperature climate...so the hd 6850 wud be ok operating at 60 c temp ? cuz my pc reaches that temp....and sometimes more than that.

 

[HostileDonut]

HH6850 has a max temp of 100C, I would keep it under 90C for long life. GPUs tend to run hotter than any other thing in your PC, so even at my house, (were it is cool) my hd6850 runs 80C when running Furmark stability tests.

 

[purple stain]

If the temps get that hot and your worried about the CPU overheating just undervolt until the climate changes.

 

[aasifdm]

i cud not get u purple stank ?......

 

[purple stain]

Undervolt=lowering the voltage.Reducing the Voltage will save energy and let your computer run cooler.I only say to do that if it gets so hot all the time that it almost becomes a danager for your computer.
