Members fretless Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 I just upgraded to a intel Q9650 updated the bios and dropped 10 degrees . She went right to a 1333 FSB and all is well . Check it ...so I have this intel Q6700 up for grabs , you only need to prove to your fellow HCBF geeks you can pop it in without a core meltdown and finger pointing at fretless you would most likely need a new bios . pm me if interested . and the overseer of the whole project , she was very focused .

Members t3ch Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 Well aren't you awfully generous! I'll let this thread simmer. It's not a huge upgrade for me, so if there's someone else on here who can use it they can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'd consider it, but I somehow doubt that it will go into our PC, and we're a long ass way off from affording an upgrade that could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretless Posted November 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 E8400, so as you can see, put me low priority. Actually you might be better off just selling it rather than giving it to someone with an e8400 What mobo do you have, mang? yeah I'm not so sure it would be a upgrade for you , where's HackedByChinese!

Members t3ch Posted November 6, 2009 Members Share Posted November 6, 2009 yeah I'm not so sure it would be a upgrade for you , where's HackedByChinese! The quad is a bit better for some things, and the dual for others. They're not that far apart either way though. Where's oldivor? That broke ass college nerd.

ASUS but it requires a full install / rebuild to drop a mb in . Still could be a wise move , or a massive headache . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still could be a wise move , or a massive headache . That's okay - we do that for fun in our house. Playing with different OS installs - the man of the house is an IT guy and I built my first gaming pc this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
