Well after MANY years of AMD, the Bulldozer debacle got me and I placed an order with Newegg for a SB 2500K. All I can say is wow,
Specs:
MB - ASROCK Z68 Extreme 4
CPU - Intel 2500K
HS - CoolerMaster Hyper 212+
Case- CoolerMaster 912
PSU - CoolerMaster GX 650W
Memory - Gskill DDR3-1600 F3-12800CLD9D 8g (2 4g sticks)
Video - XFX 5850BE
HDs Crucial 300sd -64gig SATAIII +WD Black 500g
OS Win7-64 Home Premium.
Now I know why the Intel boys were raving. Assembled thisrig and it flies. The Bios selection to overclock to 4400 went with a problem and is super stable.
I have two AMD 965BEs OC to 3700 and they were solid but this CPU is marvelous.
Bulldozer better be a BIG improvement over the Phenom IIs.
