i will be upgrading from an am3 board with an athlon ii x2
i have a foxconn am3 motherboard. i was planning on getting a phenom ii x4 965 and overclocking it however the bios is just terrible.
whats a decent low cost overclocking motherboard?
i was looking at the Gigabyte 970A-DS3 AMD 970A
would it be sensible to put a fx 6300 in a cheap £30 motherboard?
this would equal the price of an i3 3220 and a b75 motherboard.
I'm thinking of selling my 1100t and buying a fx 6300 I mostly game, would this be a good move? As I've heard the 6300 oc well.....?
It's a rather pointless move.
Stock versus stock the 1100T and FX6300 trade blows, gaming wise it seems the FX6 might be better stock versus stock, but it's not mind blowing.
1100T's do about 4.2GHZ, can probably get 4.6-4.8GHZ on the FX63 so you'd increase the gap a bit, but it still wouldn't be an improvement in every area.
