Ya then when you fry your 2500k you will be crying about 220$ and i will be like eh its 95$ to replace if i ever do fry it i will go fx 8120 dont really care for intels high prices

You won't fry the chip unless you allow it to over heat to the point of auto shut-down over and over again, or go crazy with base clock and voltages.

Exactly my point but everyone ive seen tries to oc there machine but i dont see any point in it when its fast enough stock

It's like tuning a fast car to go even faster, an i5 at 5ghz is going to perform far better than one at 3.2ghz yet they will still cost the same.

Yeah im not saying you wrong im just saying id rather have a stable fast system then an over the top unstable system all im sayin

You haven't overclocked your FX 4100??????????

In that case, a pentium would have been faster, no joke.

I wont touch anything having to do with ocing it just go through perfectly good parts faster

And also pentiums are rated at 3.4 and below my fx4100 is 3.8 but 4.1 when turbo boosted just quit over analyzing my pc.

Clock speeds and cores don't tell the whole story....

For example, an i3 2100 run circles around a 955....just as pentium will beat an unoverclocked FX 4100

once it hits around 4.5-4.6 GHz does the FX 4100 become competitive with the i3's, which does mean you get a same quality part for less, but unoverclocked, a pentium is a better part for less

thats true also turbo only runs when 1 core is active and the others arent so

You can tell me all you want that my computer isnt any better than a pentium but my computer does what i want it to do it runs anygame I throw at it including battle field 3 at 40+ fps on almost full settings but quite honestly i only ended up with an amd cpu because it what was cheap and best rating for the price of 95$ plus am3+ boards are relatively cheap it was most of all a budget computer that i got on a combo deal i couldnt pass up

All they are trying to tell you is that your money would have been better spent elsewhere. The only thing the FX processors have been good for are people who like to see how high they can overclock. Everyone here knows that current Intel processors are much better than current AMD processors in the desktop market. The only exception is for someone with a budget of $300-400 in which case an APU would be better. Btw if you think I'm just being a fanboy here, both my laptop and my desktop use AMD processors. My Phenom II performs just fine for my needs, but the day I need an upgrade is the day I switch over to Intel.

And fyi, $80 pentium+$60 H61 board...'nuff said

So true

I know i was just saying to put an equivalent intel together it would have cost me alot more and ill never touch a pentium again ive had horrible experiences with them rather have a core 2 duo than that. And ya it does what i need so im not going to let this get me down about my computer because i know its good and there will always be a intel and amd war between the two but all im saying is that every one is way over analyzing my computer if you have your opinion that is negative about my computer i really dont care and keep it to yourself. This all isnt dirrected to you btw

mine is not too bad
i5 processor
4 gigs of RAM
windows 7
off the top of my head

You do realise that the Sandybridge line goes Celeron, Pentium i3, i5, i7 and i7-E?

Also why did you post you post your computer's specs if you didn't want to get criticism? Were you expecting us to bow down to the glory of your FX proccessor?

hes got a point plus your FX cpu is really a dual core cpu with 2 more threads because 1 module produces 2 threads. Its a shame win7 cant run it correctly itll spread its wings on win8 which will suck tho (both the cpu and os cause their removing the start bar)

That isn't hugely specific, what GPU do you have?

viewsonic 1080 LED

It was full of people that had old crappy pcs that posted old and new specs i was expecting criticism on the old pc.

God, to a computer illiterate like me this is complete gibberish, but anyway here's my best attempt of showing what my computer has in it;

AMD Athlon II X2 B22 Processer
AMD IO Driver
AT I/O Communications Processor PCI Blus Controller
ATI Radeon HD 4200
Standered duel channel PCI IDE Controller
ST3250318AS ATA Device
Microsoft Windows 7
227GB of internal memory

I have no clue what that means or if i've even posted relevent things but never the less it's Preatty shitty eh? Also don't bother pointing out that i'm a retard 'cause I already realise that >megusta<.
