If you are lucky to allocate 965 go for it, just get ready to have difficulty with cooling of it, but is is another story.There is one choice, I will look though my posts, which only 1 person reported trying long time ago, which might work, however cooling 965 due to the mounting issues is the PAIN.The above option, if proven, will open the gate for many possible modifications.
Remember, you cannot mount this just from the package, you have to use above mentioned kit screws, I hope they fit. Also, are you considering sticking in video card, or only processor. But for now Ill just do some modifications to my Dell to hold me over. Im a freelance Video editor and so far the the Dell has done surprisingly well. If I go i3, I have very few upgrade options, need a new motherboard for i5, then If I want to move up from there yet another motherboard for i7. Just two months ago AMD gave us the Athlon II X3 450 and the Phenom II X2 565, today were getting speed bumps of both of those parts. The Athlon II X3 455 runs at 3.3GHz, up from 3.2GHz and costs the same 87. The Athlon II X3 450 mopped the floor with the G6950 in our last review, and the speed bumped 455 will be no different in this review. If you CPU budget is right around the 80 - 90 mark, AMD has you covered. The 565 runs at 3.4GHz, up from 3.3GHz, but the clock increase comes with a 10 price increase. In the case of the Athlon II X3, you get more cores for the same money which really helps AMD out. The 565 by default doesnt give you any more cores, all you get is a higher clock speed and a larger L3 cache. But you lose out on IPC, threaded performance and power consumption. While AMD easily wins between 80 - 90, around 110 - 120 the choice moves back towards Intel. In the case of the Phenom II X2 weve seen a number of CPUs with disabled cores that could just as easily be re-enabled. ![]() ASUS Core Unlocker enabled it and the system was just as stable as before, now with four fully functional cores. I could even overclock the four cores just as far as I could overclock the chip with only three cores enabled. Ive had Phenom II X2s that would work as quad core parts, triple core parts and refuse to work at all above two cores. You cant count on core unlocking working, but if it does, its great additional value. The 1100T increases default clock speeds from 3.2GHz to 3.3GHz, and increases Turbo Core frequency from 3.6GHz to 3.7GHz. Turbo Core is only supported on Thuban based processors (currently only Phenom II X6s) and increases operating frequency if half or fewer cores are actively in use. While the Core i7 860 still has the edge in some of our tests, the 1100T is within striking distance and cheaper. In heavily threaded apps, the 1100Ts six cores really come in handy and give AMD the win. However Intel still holds the advantage in lightly threaded scenarios thanks to the i5i7 aggressive turbo modes. For all benchmark results and even more comparisons be sure to use our performance comparison tool: Bench. While nearly all numbers are comparable you may occasionally see some scaling that doesnt quite add up compared to lower clocked versions of the same chips running on a previous motherboard. Itll likely not change as long as Intel is 18 months ahead in terms of process technology used in fabrication. Im too waiting for the Sandy Bridge launch (but I probably wont buy one). What makes you think SB will be everywhere any time soon Intel are always slow with their new releases (not easy supplying the whole globe I would think).
