Seeing that the prices of Amd 939 chips will drop bigtime in a month or two im wondering if i should just go the fx60 and call it quits Is the fx60 worth the bucks over my 4800..Im wondering if it will overclock to 3...Im a dumbass for not waiting on am2!!! current specs are x2 4800 asus a8n32sli deluxe 2gig dual Corsair TwinX evga 7800gtx ko silverstone 600watt psu all stuffed in my CoolerMaster 830
i wouldnt think so...ur OC the 4800..i mean if the FX 60 gets cheap enough sure go for it..
I have a $459 Opteron 175 bought from NewEgg in Dec that is overclocked to 2.64GHz, and it is faster and just as stable as a stock FX-60, that less the additional $650 cash I did not shell out...
Getting an FX60 would be a waste of money no matter how "cheap" they get, just build a real watercooling system and overclock that X2 4800+ of yours. Then again, I doubt that this flimsy plastic box would support the weight of an heatercore without some modding.
