I have been looking at the phenom 2 1055t, but it looks like it might be 125w and the motherboard has a tdp of 95w. Now the phenom 2 1065t says it's 95w, hard to take in when the 1055t is I'm sure 125/95w. What's worse is I want to keep my mobo and a gamedebate.com cpu score of 9/10. Unless there is another solution I don't want an 8/10, I'm already a 6/10 with an phenom 9500 tlb patch off (hence 9550 speeds). But by all means I was debating if the phenom 2 1065t would take it is not in the processor list for the mobo. Any other thoughts on the best cpu for this mobo, cause it has a fbs of 2000; will that effect my upgrade. I am running ddr2 just don't know if that will make this a sound upgrade or I bet I will have to upgrade the ddr2 to make use of my upgrade. Here's the finall thought in fps(min lows and min highs):

-Adaptive v-sync on at 60- galaxy 670 gc 4gb vram

Metro 2044: 56-60
Just cause 2: 30-60
Mafia2: 54-60
Metal gear revengence: 34-57
Gtr2: 28-60
Far cry 3: 28-42
Ghost busters: 38-54
Driver san francisco: -60-



I have other games, no need to mention they all run 60fps easy. Either it's my ddr2 ram or cpu throttling my pc. Debates are welcomed. Now I put this into your hands. Don't be afraid to tell me to just keep my set up the way it is(that includes 4gb ddr2; also a thought I'm pretty sure my ram I installed is not on the compatibility list/ hence the phenom 2 1065t hmmm....maybe it will take ).
Also here is the site to refence the mobo: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=CPU&Model=N68C-S%20UCC

JAH BLESS ALL OF YOU

Why upgrade my motherboard that still works. Right? Thanks for the offer but I would like to keep my motherboard. Saves on landfill waste. Because a motherboard upgrade would mean a new os, ram, and processor. More then my max pay out limit. Also if I just upgrade my cpu when I need to upgrade my mobo I will have a processor. All I would need is ram to complete the upgrade for now I just want to upgrade the cpu. Maybe it's my love of the amd phenom! \o/

if you buy a new phenom now you'll get mugged off on price.

get a pre-owned phenom 1045 or 1065.

also you this sentence "Also if I just upgrade my cpu when I need to upgrade my mobo I will have a processor" is fair enough if you want to upgrade to AM3+ as it will support the 1045/1065.

It's just it's not cost effective to buy new phenom x6's now.

Pre-owned 1045/1065 best way forward.

Getting the phenom 1055t 95w might produce an oem, being that a rare find I opt out. Now you sure the phenom 1065t will work; read a forum that looked like it took on the mobo. Anyway I am calculating I got well under 500$ to upgrade and all I got to show to add to the new set up would be:

Galaxy 670 gc 4gb vram
Tower
Psu

I would get need to get
Os-167$
Ssd-125$
Mobo-120$
Cpu-100+$

See it just goes over my budget, but I need to wait for windows 9. All I want now is vista. I used win 7 to fancy and stripped down vista. Win 8 hurts my brain.
If I were to just get a used phenom how reliant is a used cpu of that kind or any kind. Cause I won't pay more then a amd fx-6300 price range even if the phenom was new. Hold your comments, I know it's a huge task to make it seem feasible, but if you can convince me my mobo will take a phenom 1065t and the used ones are reliant I will spend the time to pull this off.

Again JAH BLESS and thanks
