Is the Intel Pentium D 930 actually worth buying?

**MrTeressaBond** · August 9th, 2006, 12:15

so maybe u would recommend me those parts? or maybe better?

**Tomlo** · August 10th, 2006, 03:14

I recommend you an AMD... lol

Just buy whatever you want, those parts are excellent but there are many other good alternatives...

**MrTeressaBond** · August 10th, 2006, 23:46

oh ok then.

due to wat the site used to overclock their CPU to 4.0GHz, with those parts (whic i assume to be of good quality), if i were to use parts that are better quality than wat was used in the test, would i be able to overclock it slightly higher than the 4.0GHz they did?

also, as i planned to use the same fan as they did, the Zalman CNPS9500 LED, is it possible that they maight have a better faster and quieter fan than that? even though the fan itself is good enough?

Overclocking is all about luck really, good parts mean you will have better chances of a good overclock but doesnt mean that someone with cheaper parts cant get a higher overclock than you.

Even two idential parts can perform extremely different, its all a coin toss...

sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be less expensive to buy a better processor and lower end memories rather than those expensive ram/fan needed for overclocking...

Ya basically the only ways OCing is worth it is if your just looking for a couple extra Mhz or if your an enthusuast that needs the best of the best, It doesnt hurt to see what your stuff can really do though...

hey everyone its me!

how are you all? i hope u lot are doing fine.

thanks for your info as well, really helped me out.

just like to ask, does anyone know anything about the 945? it seems to be a good CPU besides not having VT and why is it soo cheap as well?

No, don't buy it. It is made from suck and fail. Get a Core 2 Duo instead.

**MrTeressaBond** · September 6th, 2006, 11:59

i would if i can get.

i lost a huge amount of them at good prices. now they pumping thrm up which i cant even afford.

unless someone can recomment me geting the E6300 or the E6400 (strip down versions of the CPU). its been said that they have a smaller die and lower heat use. and tends to be better Overclockers than the Conroe.

wat do u lot think?

Wait for the E4300 if you need a budget Core 2.
