Quiet gaming CPU (x2 s939)
Hi, I'm looking to stick to s939 at this time, as I don't want the extra expense of new RAM and mobo right now :(
So I'm looking for a quiet s939 CPU which will overclock reasonably well, whilst remaining as cool as possible (and therefore quiet).
I'm torn between X2 Opterons and X2 Athlons. Currently I have an Opty 146 @ 2.4GHz.
Now I hear the newest X2 3800+ cpus are overclocking almost as well as the more expensive Opterons. But are they efficient, low heat models?
Is the 3800 now better than the Opty 165? And would either of them overclock past 2.4Ghz that I currently get on the single core?
Thanks for reading :)
