New i7 930!

[Postmodum]

hmmm... so... i have a i7 920 clocked to 3.8 @ 1.272v.

I was thinking on updating the 930 and a new mobo... the problem is that i'm really confused...

the i7 930's are not "that good" or is just my wrong idea of the processors? I saw users very enthusiastic with the 920 D0's and Xeon parts... but the 930's kind of... i don't know ... don't have the same "feeling".

Please, tell me your thoughts about your i7's 930.

If you have an i7 920 @3.8Ghz there's no reason to get a 930, pure waste of money imo. In fact I would never recommend swapping a 920 for a 930 since the performance increase is very small at best.

Edit: My upgrade was from an E6600 lol

well, i went with a 930 because i had a Q6600 before >_> im happy with it, but if you have a 920 right now, i'd spend the $200 towards the new GTX480 GPU or something like that. no sense in gaining a minimal increase. i only did it cuz it was the same price as the 920's at the time, and i was one of the first. (im OP here ^^)
