Hi all, haven't been around here much lately! I'm planning to buy another cpu to OC for a fast daily driver in a second system. My 1.5 year old 8350 does 5GHZ on water, I'll likely move it to a lower end board and use the new cpu in my C5F-Z. Are new 8350's binned to death to supply cpus for 9370/9590's?
Trying to decide between the following cpus at Newegg Canada (for example), I'm looking for > 5GHZ and bang for my buck.
8350 $199CDN
9370 $248CDN
9590 $315CDN
I don't want to pay for the 9590 unless I feel it has noticeably more potential than the 9370. The 8350 is tempting, but I fear they have binned the high OC potential out of them. Which probably puts me with the 9370. Anyone bought and overclocked these on water lately? Again, I'm talking daily driver on water, not suicide runs.
