I'm looking for an opinion on an upgrade for the q9550 rig. Issue is one core slated to keep folding card fed.
What would you do?
2-i7 chips in question, not the newest, but still upgrade for me. 6-core 3930k, or 4-core 4790k, of course some overclocking will be done.
Just looking to maximize my PPD for BOTH projects.
Not that it matters, the q9550 has already been retired. Currently test driving an AMD 965 system, that one will also be retired. At least the bios was flashed to accept newer 8-core AMD...
