Could someone just let me know what the AMD equivalent to a 3.0GHz i3 is? I have an FX-4170 clocked at 5.0GHz, but as most of you know, the FX series tends to punch well below its weight compared to Intel.
To ROMEOREJECT, a core i3 like cpu is any of the follwing AMD cpus: "FX-6350, 4350,Phenom II X6 1100T BE, 1090T BE, Phenom II X4 Black Edition 980, 975". I think your overclocked FX-4170 will be enaugh.
Holy hell, you've got to be kidding me. Question to anyone thinking of buying one of these beast: Even if you think you'll get 10 more years of reliable operation out of this unit compared with established industry PSUs (even though it's not warranted as such), do you think CM/Murata or even another experienced PSU OEM will not invent anything better in the next 10 years? Because even if you think "Made in Japan" and "build quality" are going to give that extra life, the math just doesn't add up. Buy a leading 1000/1200/1500 watt unit today for ONE FIFTH the cost, let it burn in 10 years, then buy 2 more of those (or whatever else has been invented/improved upon in the meantime), and you're still $400 ahead (not including the gain from inflation).
I guarantee if you slapped some LED lights on an AX1200i, you'd sell more of those units at $1,000 than this sucker. Unreal.
