qx9650

[DarkWhisper]

Been offered my mates old cpu as his just bought the 975 set up.
Is 200 worth it. and whats the diff between the tw0 qx9650-q9650 in terms of overclockerability.

The q9650 is a better stepping and tends to overclock higher.
I wouldn't want a qx9650, but I suppose it's easier to overclock.

He wasted his money on the 975 setup... anyway, for £200 i wouldn't. It's not even that new any more is it?

 

[DarkWhisper]

His got more money then sense. All good for me though. ya there loads more then the q9650 which is about 240

I would not say it's worth £200 these days tbh, but it's up to you really. Try and haggle him down a bit.

 

[Temi_D]

Id say no, maybe ~ 150

 

[DarkWhisper]

I didn't take the cpu. when i put my order in at ocuk am planing on getting the q9650.

 

[linktoinsanity]

I offered him 140 he took it. To be honest he didn't seam to bothered about it.

£140 is a fair enough deal. Good on you. Enjoy your new cpu

I thought about and said no after i offered him that price. Because he had it running at 4.5ghz all the time. i dint now how long it would be before it gave in.
