i920 or i930 bundle?

Evil-I · 19 Apr 2010 at 22:22

Just about to hit buy on the i920 pre-overclocked to 4Ghz bundle but just wanted to ask whether I should be going to the i930 instead? From what I gather its just the newer replacement of the same chip and apart from a slightly faster stock clock speed seems to be getting similar overclocks?

Whats the oipinion?

Thanks,

If overclocked to the same speed, 920 as you'd prolly not get much more out of either chip especially if its a 4GHz bundle. Haven't noted the 2 930s i have here overclocking any better than any 920 i've had. A bit cheaper as well i suppose?

Depends if you want USB 3.0 and sata 3.0 etc

i went for the 930 because i don't plan to uprgrade for 2-3 years and i will get a SSD soon as my partner lets me (he's currently getting a i5 750 so we low on cash, sigh)

So decide if you want:
USB 3.0 and Sata 3.0 possible able to hit 4.4Ghz

Or currently save £100 (prob best option unless your like me and didnt pay)
Note this sockets life is due for replaement next year.

It might be just me but you could just build a 920 bundle you self man works out even cheaper.
