I wouldn't agree. Even I thought of that by looking at online benchmarks. But when I downgraded from my i7 2600K due to me thinking it has too much power for my needs, I swapped out the CPU and mobo and got an FX 6300 w/Asus M5A78L-MX+(Which is the cheapest AM3+ mobo I could find) and to be honest I find like 5% difference in performance. And I spent only $200 for the pair. Gaming, on BF3 and BO:2, I got 3 less frames with the FX 6300. Rendering hardcore Cinema 4D in After Effects CS:6, the FX 6300 seemed to be exactly the same.

After this, I stopped considering online CPU benchmarks as accurate examples. Seriously though, I love the FX 6300 and IMO the best decision I ever made.

Keep in ind that I used the EXACT same components though, except the case which I upgraded to a Graphite 600T

Re: **Desktops and Laptops Thread**[ALL COMPUTER RELATED QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS HE

Sounds like you bought it second hand and when they wiped it they set it up with an unactivated Windows install. I actually see that a lot. You can either use a license you have or try the code on the sticker on your pc. There are of course other approaches but those aren't xda suitable.

You buy based on your needs. If it's a step up from what you have and you think it's worth the money then buy it. The Athlon line is as dated as the Pentiums but there are still people using even weaker chips.

Hi, probably a dumb question, but google hasn't been too clear...Anyway!

I've currently got a N150 netgear modem/router.

If i buy and connect it to a Netgear R6200 - router only - would the speeds of the R6200 be affected by my N150? I mean would it act as a bottleneck since the router is connected to it? Would i still be able to use Gigabit Ethernet?

(http://www.netgear.com.au/home/products/wirelessrouters/ultimate-performance/R6200.aspx)

I can get it for $120 brand new, is that a good deal?

[Off-topic] AtoZ0to9:
The internet speed would never break probably 85mbps because of the 100mbps lan slots on the modem/router... plus it needs to be bridged disabling the internal router, so the external router can handle the NAT functions... eventually you'll want to upgrade that... with an AC adpater that meets or exceeeds the routers, your internal wireless network would technically be capable of 867 Mbps, but I doubt it would reach... I haven't ran any real world tests with a full AC network yet, but I'm sure it'll break 500mbps for internal transfers between AC devices... Yea its a pretty good deal I paid 200 for my ea6500... You need an ac adapter too though...

It really just depends on what your are trying to speed up... I get the same internet speed using the 5ghz N network as I would using the AC newwork, but streaming from my NAS to an AC bridge is much faster because the router and bridge are both AC... It would dramtically speed up your local network speed for streaming from a device to another, or coyping files, but your internet probably won't be any faster unless your current router just needs replacement... For the money I would get it if you need it... and slowly replace the rest... Do the offer just a modem?

Why is it that one of my front case fans is running slower than the other one ( Fanin1 and Fanin3) are both corsair 140mm Quiet Edition Fans rated to run at 1150 rpm. Fanin0 is my cpu cooler, and Fanin2 is my exhaust fan. I tested the slower front fan on the FanIn 3 header and it was running at 1100 rpm, but when I reconnected it back to FanIn1 it was slow again. Could It be that I have a faulty connector on my motherboard.

Another thing when it comes to cooling whats better, more RPM or higher CFM? My 120mm exhaust fan is the corsair performance edition with is rated to run 1650 rpm but has lower CFM rating than the front 140mm.

You're working backwards.

Building a pc is the easiest hobbyist activity around. There's nothing difficult to it but you are making it more difficult on yourself by:

A. Putting the cart before the horse. The case is the single least important thing and you chose it ahead of everything else.

B. Asking people what to use instead of putting a little research into what exists in your price range then comparing features.
