   @magicus3000 yes, very large increase in performance. I may be getting this cpu relatively soon (a week) and ill probably throw up a video on how high i could get it and how to install it. And probably some bench marks

   would an upgrade from an Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core ~2.19 ghz
   to this processor make sense?

    @BiG420SMOkeR415 yea the 4870 x2 is very high end.

    Its 2 years old but still today its very powerfull. x2 means there are chips on the card, just like the Ati Radeon HD 5970 has.

    i have a xigmatek dark knight running at around 36*c max load, but I’ve seen comparison reviews with the V8 and the Dark knight has done better in most reviews. I have a x3 720 (OC’d 3.2ghz) and the ambient room temp is like 23-24*C, and was wondering does that temperature seem to be normal to you?

    Thinking maybe i should get a different front fan to minimize the max load.
