[QUOTE=Zerokateo;36515055]Guys, OP is clearly a fag and thats why hes not listening.[/QUOTE]
Well, seems like you could join his club.
[QUOTE=Bettler;36510866]Thanks for all the input, got the 8120 anyway because i just decided to try something out of the normal Intel realm. Works GREAT. 30-45 constant frames on ultra in BF3, with a 768MB GTX 460! Perfectly happy, and will continue to be for a long time.[/QUOTE]
With the i5 2500k, I'd see more than 50 or even 60 on that card.
Bad choice OP. Giving you advice to buy an Intel processor for a more expensive price, which performs a million times better in real life(not shitty synthetic benchmarks) is not fanboyism. You're just being stupid and not taking the right choice when the facts are in front of you that current-gen Intel processors are much better compared to Bulldozer. What a display of general stupidity.
[QUOTE=Bettler;36514690]Well he got it only a few months ago, for massive amount of money. I love you intel fanboys. So fun.[/QUOTE]
If anyone is being the fanboy, it's you. We are telling you not to buy it NOT because we are devoted to Intel, because this CPU is a legitimate pile of failure; a failure so big that even AMD got so ashamed of themselves and told the media that they are shifting their attention away from researching in high performance desktop CPU to the mobile market instead. Buying an Intel CPU based on Sandy Bridge or newer architectures offers an incomparably better price vs performance ratio, that's why we are suggesting it. Even if you are only looking at impractical benchmarks, those benchmarks I posted few posts above yours should clearly screams "this CPU is terrible don't buy it". What's the point of you even asking for suggestions in the first place if you're only going to ignore them without even taking the slightest consideration into your final action? To be honest, your "i just decided to try something out of the normal Intel realm" as a reason for this purchase is indescribably stupid, especially if you decide to try a CPU which everyone is telling you not to buy for its terrible performance.
Because I am having a Phenom 2 cpu my Radeon HD 7970 and the rest of my pc cant do shit in bf3 and makes it so I only get 40-50 fps in bf3 on nearly highest.
When I got enough money for a ivy bridge i5 I will be having something like 60 fps constant on highest in bf3.
Op, really bad decision.

Having an i5 Ivy Bridge actually does improve the performance, but the problem is that it emits a lot more heat when you overclock it, it's still very fast though.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;36413364]Wanna try again?
There are benchmarks that shows even more drastic differences, but I don't remember what they are. And this is for a CPU that is better than the one you've mentioned
Also a 1100T doesn't cost $330 :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
Hell yeah! AMD Phenom II X4 980 is my processor and it hauls ass.
OP, you should've gotten something in the X4, X6, i5 or i7 line, I've heard a lot of shit about the new AMD FX procs.

The Ivy Bridge i5 doesn't emit a lot of heat - it emits less than the Sandy Bridge version. The "problem" is the die shrink - the die's surface area is extremely small compared to many other CPUs (like, ~30% smaller than Sandy), but it still has to accomodate ~82% of the power draw. This means that there's less surface area to dissipate the heat, and therefore it runs hot when overclocked.

Actually the real OC bottle neck to ivy bridge is the shitty thermal paste used between the die and the head spreader.

Has someone actually removed the heat spreader and changed the paste to check or are you just guessing?
[QUOTE=Chubbs;36537750]Has someone actually removed the heat spreader and changed the paste to check or are you just guessing?[/QUOTE]
Yes, there are way too many sources on this, just google it for yourself.

I use the one that came with the Zalman cooler.
[QUOTE=digigamer17;36537835]I use the one that came with the Zalman cooler.[/QUOTE]
So you took off the heat spreader of your processor??
[QUOTE=Protocol7;36537896]So you took off the heat spreader of your processor??[/QUOTE]
No, I used the thermal grease on the processor's heatspreader that came with the zalman cooler.
[QUOTE=digigamer17;36537929]No, I used the thermal grease on the processor's heatspreader that came with the zalman cooler.[/QUOTE]
but that's not the problem
it's the paste between the die and the spreader that sucks

The cooler I got is a pain in the arse to put on and off, but it keeps it cool enough. I'm gonna use up the one that came with the cooler then get Arctic Silver.

again that's not the same part interface

it's right there on the die of the CPU inbetween the CPU and heat spreader, not the paste between the heat spreader and your cooler
