So, I currently have an AMD Phenom II 555 3.2Ghz processor that I had initially hoped to unlock, but after many failed attempts, i had given up, now I have the chance to upgrade, and I was originally planning to buy the Phenom II 960T as it had a 95W TDP ( I foolishly bought the M5A78L-M LX which had a max TDP of 95W) but the deal ended and it reverted back to it's base price of £120.
This left me with the £85 FX-4100 and I'm still speculating over the performance as there aren't that many in depth review on it, I have a CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 which I was planning to use to OC the FX to >4Ghz to achieve decent performance and I was just wondering if it was worth getting it, either factual information or personal experience only please.
[ Side Question : Would I need to buy thermal compound remover to use on my CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 before I move it the FX using the same thermal paste? ]
Thanks in advance!
