Upgrading to Core i7 Extreme

Don't waste your money. Had a 975, Ran it at 4.8Ghz daily, was great but TOTALLY unnecessary. Returned it and bought another 920. Do NOT buy anything else but the 920 if you're dead set on the I7

Do yourself a favor. The Core I3, I5 will be out in 3 weeks. Wait and then pick up an I5 quad core or a I3 dual core.

Once the i5 and i3 come out, will the i7 920 still be around for sale????

i7 would be the best deal.
Anything above it is simply waste of money.
As said get the i7 or i5 .

i do an all over upgrade nearly every three and a half years with slight modifications in the middle, so this is what i want to do but it is not a good thing to buy today and loose a some of money with in a month, i was thinking of the EVGA classified, 6g corsair 1866, i7 3.2 965, i already have the PSU enermax 1250w coolermaster v10 to 8800gtx with arctic cooler extreme and a gigabyte sumo 5115 and lots of HDD one of them is the volci raptor 300g, i do buy a lot but prices remain unchanged for a reasonable period, so will the prices expected to go down soon, another thing i was wodering if the coolermaster v10 fits in the EVGA MB can you help with this as well?

The 965 dont OC any higher then the 920, so you might as well save 100s and get the 920.

If you want I'll sell you a garanteed 4.0 920 rig with warranty for way less then your looking @ now. PM me if interested.

15% is a good save, the coolernaster v10 is v.good, and i have 2 VGA 8800gtx with coolers so and a nice airflow case and that is it for me concerning coolers, what about the motherboards do you think new boards that support a wider varity of CPUs will appear soon, can you help with the coolermaster v10 will fit in the EVGA MB

3 and half years it was the LGA775 and that what i have now with Pentium D 960 clocked to 4.3 and a 4g Kingston memory, so if you all agree that the 965 is not worth the money then i believe you, but at what price range will you accept to buy the 965 if it was offered?

Same as the 920, since the 920 can run the same speeds. I will never buy the higher cocked factory cpu over a cheaper overclocked one ever never.

Some think having the 965 is bragging rights. I think it makes people look dumb as if they have more $$ then brains.

what about the corsair 1866 6g, is it also meaningless price

Depends on the OC you run and memory divider.

Okay thank you for varifying.

965 is a good choice if you can get it for 300 dollars.

Pretty much all current chips are D0. They switched over last spring, so any remaining C0 are old stock from last spring. As for QPI, you can easily get a 920 to a 6.4 QPI speed, and I don't think it makes a whole lot of difference anyways.
