Hey teksyndicate forums! I recently picked up some hardware to upgrade my ageing AM2 system and I wanted to know if you thought i got an alright price or not. So i bought:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ Mobo (Version 1.0) http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131736
AMD FX-8320 8 Core CPU http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285
CoolerMaster V6 CPU Cooler http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/v6/
These 3 items were bought together for $200 (CAD)
CPU currently clocked @4.4ghz and stays around 60c. Quite happy with the performance boost :)
Only complaint is that the motherboard takes a long time to post. Is this caused by the OC? It shows the splash logo 3 separate times before booting through to windows. Just a minor complaint but if anyone knows how to remedy this let me know! Always nice to see quicker boot times haha.
Thanks Guys!
