Question For Wusy, Ninja, Jack and all guys on this forum.

[deceneu]

I read this info on another topic of the forum.

"I read in several places that 965 chipset is better for E6300/6400, and 975 is better for E6600 and above."

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: is this true?

there are a lot of guys who want to buy a C2D, some want the 6300/6400, and others with more money want the 6600/6700 or even the 6800.


it would be of much help for all those people if they knew which chipset is better for their cpu choise.

thanks!

I totally agree with prozac

When my post count gets high enough to be respected I will answer the question! :lol:

It doesn't really matter on what you use for the on stock setting. Overclocking wise then you should be using the right chipset for the job.

What are you planning to get? and for what?

Somedays I just feel like a puppy, all poor and wanting a new upgrade for my system.

 

[3lfk1ng]

Yo chuck, wut is up with your puppy in the avatar...havn't you noticed the trend is cats only in THGFZ?

How come its wusy, jack, and ninja...where am I? I dont wanna be considered "all the guys"...I wanna be noticed. chuck, slim142, prozac or even tool....how dare we go forgotten!

 

[Aids]

Prozac, completely off subject, is that an eclipse in your avatar? And if so, what year? It looks suspiciously like my 03 GT, same color as well.

 

[3lfk1ng]

Its a dodge viper

 

[Aids]

Heh thanks. Strange enough though it looks an absurd amount like the front of my eclipse. Cool either way.

 

[chuckshissle]

Well I got a puppy dog, similar to this one. I'll trade it for a 8800GTX, free shipping.

 

[tool_462]

Woot I got mentioned. Only after a guilt trip though. And it was after an "even" like, yeah...even you could do it...

I shouldn't complain though.

The 965 and 975 are both good chipsets. It all depends on budget and what you want to do. One possible advantage of the 975 is easier future upgrades, but that depends on whether Intel continues developement of the cpu or abandons it to newer technology.

Of course, a lot of AMD people are feeling abandoned as AMD has ceased production of the 939, started with the AM2, and then left that behind as soon as a lot of people bought into it. Glad I stayed with my 939, as it gives just as good performance as the AM2, but with I had a faster cpu. Should have bought a FX60 before the price went up, but, oh well.

Me neither!
He deserves his thread to be hijacked with puppy and car talk for that! Besides not being properly answered of course.
Mwhaha :twisted:

I remember forumites by name usually, but for you I just remember the avatar since your name boggles my mind.

You can call me Dario.

They are not going to open the box if it isnt barking when the pakage arrives...

 

[tool_462]

What if it's leaking?

 

[sailer]

What if it's leaking?

Don't open it, Simply send it back as "Item damaged in shipment".

I wonder if he realizes that grill looks a lot like the one they put on the Dodge Intrepid. For a second there I was gonna say that my Chrysler Concorde kicks his avatar's ass...but I guess if it's a Viper I'll have to go buy a Mongoose BMX bike to beat it. 😛 Looks like me and Sailer are the "guys with no Avatars" :-D

 

[RyanMicah]

There, I added one. 😛

 

[Dade_0182]

And a fine one it is too.

 

[Pippero]

Yeah, but that's old stuff.
According to Anand (link), the NVidia 600i series seem to be a must for enthusiasts, especially the 680i.
Even if it's gonna be rather expensive, is feature packed and the performance is great, think about a humble E6300 on a 2100MHz FSB, with the possibility to do SLI with 16x PCI-E lines and a third slot for physics processing...

 

[RyanMicah]

You just can't beat a great chipset. Or a Buggati Veyron. 😛

975X is an old chipset around which there is no longer a good reason to base a system. It has limited overclocking range (still substantial enough for high-multiplier CPUs) and is based on the older 130nm process which tends to run hotter.

Until about a month ago, it was also the only chipset for Core 2 Duo which supported Crossfire - which is common among high-end setups. Then motherboard makers last month managed to make P965 work with Crossfire, eliminating the biggest reason for using a 975X. Now you can use Crossfire and still overclock your low-multiplier CPU by 50%+.

And just a few days ago, Nvidia's 680i came onto the market delivering a combination of SLI support and ample overclocking headroom. The only two performance chipsets one should consider for Core 2 Duo at the moment are P965 and 680i.

Speaking of which, I saw a bugatti veyron a couple months ago... FAST! TOO FAST! And not as loud as you'd think either.

But yeah, to the OP, everything they've said about chipsets, great advice, I can't give any because... well I have no further info to give (that and I'm like half asleep again).
