Hey everyone!
I come here often for help but this is my first request for some! i cant get my head around this.
Iv recently gotten back into WoW, and my computer meets all Minimum spec requirements other than my CPU, i have an i3 but minimum wants i5.
Problem: every 15 minutes or so the game freezes for about 30 seconds to a minute. iv also noticed when watching any movie or video on my pc the same will happen. just the video though audio continues to play.
Looking here and elsewhere iv determined its the i3 causing my gpu to bottleneck. i have a gt 710 nvidia card. if i overclock it slighty with msi afterbuner the problem is lessened but not solved.
So im wondering if i can be a little cheaper as funds are not great atm, and just replace the i3
Question to the group. Will this cpu fit? (all cpu and motherboard data gotten with CPUID)
Mother board: HP 1497
chipset: intel sandy bridge rev.09
southbridge: intel Q5 rev.B2
LPCIO: SMSC
Current cpu: intel core i3-2100
Code name: Sandy Bridge
Max TPD: 65W
Package: Socket 1155 LGA
Cpu im looking at:
Intel Core i5-3470 Quad-Core Processor 3.2 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155
Rest of System.:
Win10 64bit
8gb ram
nvidia GT 710
HDD 231 (master with os)
HDD 149 ("slave" with Wow)
hopefully thats enough info for someone to tell me weather or not that will work.....or what will.
please remember budget is a big deal here........hehe
