Evening all,
I'd like to know your opinion on what I plan to do, my current system is in my sig. Basically instead of buying a new PC which I really don't need considering all I play is CS:S really at the moment, I'm going to try and get the most I can out of this one while keeping the cost down.
Ok so I have my e8200 at 3.2Ghz 400FSB 1.2 Voltage x 8... And getting nice temps at 38-40c idle and 56-58c on load with IntelBurnTest, been running for a while now and no BSODs and the temp has never risen above that.
Considering my RAM is only 6400 I can't really go any higher without OCing the RAM, but considering how cheap a set of 2x2GB 8500 RAM is, I reckon I could fork out on a decent cooler (Got freezer 7 atm) something like the Fenrir. And have a go at hitting 3.8Ghz and trying 4Ghz?
That way I'll be spending about £70 total instead of the price of a whole new rig, opinions? Cheers.
