Thanks
Yeah its a huge difference between the x2 4200 I had previous.
Yeah I am using the stock cooler, wish I would not have thrown away the back plate for my 120mm zahlman cooler. (was cleaning my storage boxes one day and said "eh I dont need this intel backplate, im never going to get anything intel" and in the trash it went. Now Im stuck with the stock cooler- for now.....
Probably not going to overclock till I get a better cooler, but I heard people oc past 3.0ghz on the thing so maybe I will toy with it.
But for right now I am waiting on my new mobo, the ASUS I had must have took a poop yesterday, when I turned it on the system would start up then die after 2 seconds, start up die, start up, die.....Seemed like it wasnt getting enough power and I thought it was the PSU, got a new psu....doing the same thing. Finally i took everything off the board except for the CPU set it on my kitchen table, hooked up the PSU hit the switch....boom same thing. So I know its the board....Board or a bad CPU but im ruling out the bad CPU.
Anywho yeah its a great system and I think this is gonna be my last upgrade for atleast 2 years....
