   @Llama052 well the next big upgrade from a 920 is a 970 which is arounf $900 so I was going to just get a 930 but at MicroCenter they had 950s for the same price so i just got one of those!

   If you had a 920, why did you buy a 950? You could have gotten something else that would have been a better increase. ugh

   You will not get higher OC with 950 then 920. You could have bought better cpu fan

   @sonneh88 Nice! yea I mean I was planning to attend a school for it but figured I could build my own and learn just as easy. Once College settles down a little bit i’ll be toying around with this a little more and should hopefully have some good vids!

    @Skunk2K20 I idle at 30C flat and during BC:2 it got up to around low 40s with a Thermalright Silver Arrow and Arctic Silver 5. I can Prime95 it for if you want. Also, I think these are binned a little higher, but I’m not sure. Hope this helps.

    @LaczupakabraPL I Wish I had the money to go with that! If I could ever sell my rig I would for sure go that way! Are you getting one?

    Good deal on 950. It will be nice to go with 970 6 core…

    Thumbs up!

    Good deal man. I have a i7-950 myself. I still need to overclock it though, haha.

    And if you’re still wondering, the multiplier is 23.
