CPU Upgrade question


Recommended Posts

The question would be what cooler do you currently use? If you already have a good enough one there's no need for a new one.

I am running an AMD FX-8350 / 8 core. I installed a Corsair liquid cooling system and the CPU rarely gets hot. It also depends on your case, that is if a liquid cooling system can be installed and how it is set up for ventilation. When I got my FX-8350 a new heat sink and fan did come with it and you could switch over to a liquid cooling system later but I have no idea how efficient it is as I installed the liquid cooling when I installed the CPU.

as said above; your mb doesn't support the cpu you want. :-( sorry. i would suggest getting an FX-8310 at 3.4 GHz, buying a thermal paste for lower temperatures, and a cheap air cooler in replace of the stock one (way better).

well s*** then.... pc-specs.com said it could run it....

 

Can someone tell me a good cpu that i could use then. I just want a cpu that can run games like skyrim with stable frames.

If you want to stay with the same platform, then just get an FX 6300 and a 212 EVO to keep it cool. It's not really worth going any higher with the older AMD chipsets in my opinion.
