Which CPU Should i choose for socket 939

[iCe-BLaZeD]

Was thinking about a 4200+ X2 or a 3800+ X2 .. im basically looking for the best semi-value / good overclocker for gaming mainly... how are the opterons atm?.. thanks for advice

ok thanks.. any more recommendations are good

btw to the ppl saying about 939/754 .. i should have explained it better .. iv bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (939) board and am looking for a cpu ofc ;p

so the opteron (dual cores) are pretty much exactly the same as the athlon series' ?.. *** are the differences between them if any?.. ill check myself ofc but ppl on here know a lot

Opterons are just rebaged Athlon64s, they tend to clock very well though so are probably cherry picked cores.

ok , nice one ill keep an eye out for one... will need to get some decent memory when i get some more cash

just bought a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-000-SB and have an Opteron 165 on order now , hope it oc's semi-good ;p

 

[iCe-BLaZeD]

Yes. (But may not be vastly better, and it's a lot bigger)

ROFL!.. i hear that.. its HUGE..i didnt realise how big it was til i went in this morning to buy it... not sure its gona fit in my case but i think it might just about close ^^

recieved the cpu (opt 165) today after missing the first delivery date... anyway i got

CCBBE 0615DPMW

good stepping i think right
?

looks like you got the opteron.. Good move! care to share what you've done with it, stepping/clock wise?

cant seem to clock it atm ... it throws up errors in orthos as soon as i touch the fsb (htt ^^)..
