core i7 920 to 950 or 975?

[pheonix_ace]

hey guys is it worth upgrading my core i7 920 to a 950 or 975?

If your 920 is a good clocker I would say no, unless you can get those other CPU's dirt cheap and just want to play around with them.

The 975 I had ran way to hot for any good OC's tbh, don't know about the 950 tbh.

depends on your definition of worth it

i agree but i want to go 6 cores i am thinking of switching to AMD a 1100t and crosshair formula 5 as the 980x is just way too expensive

920 is a good overclocker, unless someone is handing them over for free I wouldn't. I've recently upgraded to a FX8350 from a 920 and I'm very happy with it.

ok forget the 1100T so your new chip do you reckon its worth a upgrade?

It depends on your budget, I chose the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, for 137 Dollars and two full spec x16 PCIe it was a nice deal.

I am from the United kingdom, i was looking at the sabertooth 990fx or the crosshair formula

If you can afford a Formula, then go for it!
