Hey my little helpers!
Wondering if upgrading to a:
AMD FX 8350 Black Edition 8 Core Processor 4.00GHz
Is it worth the upgrade from a Phenom II X6 1100t? I dont overclock, mainly becuase I dont want to risk it/dont really know how. Im not really having any issues with my processor at the moment, not slowing in games etc. I heard that mine is a nice processor. But it it worth the upgrade?
Cheers all!

Was xbox 360 based on a 9800 pro of 2003 ?
No, it was based on a 8800GTX of 2006

I also have a 1100T, it's a great processor. Vishera's are good too, but I would wait bit longer for a Vishera refresh or Steamroller. The 1100T still has a lot of life to it and still compare well against its successors.
Also, did you OC'd your processor?

- [QUOTE="overhead_drums"]Cheers guys. No rush then. Thanks for the advice![/QUOTE] not worth it Also overclocking a phenom II is actually the easiest think ( modest overclocking at least ) You only need to raise the Cpu multiplier on the motherboard bios. You dont need to do anything else ( if you dont do extreme overclocking ). Say for instance your cpu has a multiplier of 16x200 ( 200 is the bus speed ) then you have a speed of 3,2ghz If you go into bios you will see multiplier values from 10x to 30x ( depending on the mobo ) and you only need to change that . A 10% overclock ( say from 16x up to 18x is absolutely safe )

I've had my fear of OCing my CPU as well. But it isn't so bad, plus it was pretty easy when you know basic math. The Overclock would only fail if you don't use an aftermarket CPU.
I got my 1100T at ease, plus I'm also using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus heatsink and fan.
