went and got that super cheap combo at MicroCenter didnt ya? let me know how that turns out, im probably going to break down and get it as well.
Im not sure how much OC headroom that board really has.
nevermind, its the G41 thats included in the bundle for $235, not the G45

all thru february they had a deal where you could get $50 off the matching mobo if you bought a bundle.
i didn't have the time to go over there tho.

they have two really interesting deals right now:
i5 3570k and MSI z77a-g41
or
fx8320 and gigabyte 990fxa-ud3
both are $235
the FX bundle deal is new from last week. i may wait it out and see what kind of price drops happen later this summer after haswell comes into market.

me too.
Thats a solid board and we know AM3+ still has a couple of upgraded chips left in its life cycle. Im tempted to just go get it but im also thinking to sit tight and see the prices come down after haswell and steamroller.
Well that and I'd have to find a new video card too, my 6850 would be bottlnecked like a bitch.

Posted on 4/1/13 at 3:05 pm to bluebarracuda
only newegg "deals" are the shell shockers.
Posted on 4/1/13 at 3:07 pm to jcole4lsu

Posted on 4/1/13 at 3:16 pm to Klark Kent

no point in getting the K line if you arent gonna OC it.
coyote said your g45 board is good for clocking, so as long as you put a good cooler on it you should get over 4.0 easily.

sigh. i was hoping this PC would be quieter than my old.
i got the Evo, what's the difference?
Posted on 4/1/13 at 3:50 pm to Klark Kent
difference is the fan.
the evo fan is upgraded and moves the same air for less noise.
what case do you have? im pretty sure the only reason i can hear the plus is the side panel vent directly over the heat sink.
