Dont think this has been a question ive asked regarding my golden oldie kind of system, but i have a spare G3240 i think it is which i just need a motherboard for, however while the 860k is weak to many intel chips, are the Pentiums(Celerons dont matter for gaming) weak to the athlon?


Only thinking of the change because the cooler i have is too big for my case and dont want to be spending 50 plus for one to hopefully fit it in and also be complete too(used). I have found 2 LP coolers that are compatible which cost under 20, but i would rather source an H81 board if its the better route. i dont need quad core for games i play. the 860k is just a nostalgia from being my very first quad core processor years ago.
