please help new here CPU running 75c average

hi i took it to a computer shop and just by looking out it he recons cpu is gorn but not sure yet so i was just wondering i think i might get this cpu Intel ATX E6320 CORE 2 DUO 1.86GHz/4MB CACHE/1066FSB/LGA775. how do you know if your motherboard fits that my motherboard is an intel D915GAV. it says on my motherboard it fit LGA775 socket which is for core duo 2 im not sure
thank you

That mobo will not accept a Core 2 Duo processor. The best processor you can buy for it is the Pentium 4 670 3.8GHz CPU with 2MB of L2 cache.

You can always get a motherboard to go with the CPU, because chances are that your motherboard is also fried.

k lets just wait to see if my motherboard is fried then will see

mitch...what motherboard are you running? (model number)

hey um the site is http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D915GAV/index.htm . but i just looked the proessors can only fit Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor Extreme Edition
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Celeron® D Processor

dam it

hi i went to the computer shop the cpu is stuffed so i gotta get another cpu but my motherboard can only support

Pentium® 4 Processor Extreme Edition (LGA775 socket with 800 MHz system bus)
Supports Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology† (LGA775 socket with 533/800 MHz system bus)
Supports Intel® Celeron® D Processor (LGA775 socket with 533 MHz system bus)

so could anyone tell me which is the best cpu for gaming please my graphics ccard is geforce 6600


thank you

Are you sure about that? The CPU support for that mobo (listed by the "View complete list of supported processors" link on that mobo's page) does not list the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition anywhere. The best CPU, according to the CPU support page, is the Pentium 4 HT(HyperThreading Technology) 3.8GHz, Prescott-core processor with 2MB of L2 cache.

mitch, did you do any research before trying to build a computer from scratch? Building a computer it no easy the first time you do, you cant exactly "wing it".

You should probably just get the Pentium 4 3.8ghz. If you do wind up getting the c2d, have someone who knows what they are doing install it. Messing up an expensive processor like that one would be a bad idea for your wallet.

What exactly are you using your computer for? Gaming, photo/video editing, surfing the web?

hey my motherboard supports pentium4 Extreme edition. and i just want it for gaming. so do you recon Pentium 4 HT because i thought mabe Intel Pentium 4 955 Extreme Edition 3.46G S775 P4 955EE

thanks alot to everyone who has helped me

It supports the P4 EE models, not the Pentium Extreme Edition models which are based on the Pentium D. The Pentium 955 EE is a dual-core CPU that won't fit into your mobo. The only model that will work with ur mobo is the Pentium 4 EE 3.4 GHz since it only supports a processor with an 800MHz FSB. Also, I'd like to point out that the CPU Support List doesn't say anything about the P4 EE being supported, although the mobo's page does say that.

Like I said, you should check out your motherboard, and make sure it isn't fried first. Or you'd be stuck with an out-of-date CPU, which you would have probably spent tons (relatively) on.

Besides, a new 775 motherboard, like one of those gigabyte 965P-S3 doesn't cost much, and is very well recommended.

hey thanks im so sorry for dissing you. the mother board is stuffed and im just really anoyed so could any tell me a good amd cpu + motherboard for around $300 prepaired to pay. im gonna get it on ebay. just want it for gaming like company of heroes ect..

thanks alot

you should be able to get a core2duo and motherboard for that money.... why bother with AMD?

because they recon intel is really bad for it

hmm... I got no idea about Intel not performing very well on specific games....

ok so would you please be able to tell me for intel core duo 2 with a motherboard.

go for an E6320 with a P965 chipset (best value chipset IMO).

Personally recommend the Gigabyte P965-DS3

If you're going SLI, you might want the P965-DS4. Doesn't have dual x16, but has x16 and a x4, which strictly is more than enough for SLI.

hey thats like $439 on umart.

hmm...

Could've sworn its closer to 300 dollars.
E6320
DS3

newegg is the standard, and if you don't mention your currency, its assumed USD.
