[bharat_14101991]

okie... so i get it around 44k if i want it with hd 6850...
and these prices are the lowest i can get?
i went to delhi's nehru place some dayz back.. i got a shop which was selling hd 5770 in rs.6750 (with bill and 3 yr warrenty, so it was legit), where as people here say it is of 7500...

also can you tell me the entering stage price of core i7?

5770 @7.5k is the online price.
street prices are going to be lower.

which core i7? sandy bridge?
i7-2600k @16.9k <--Current generation/Sandy Bridge
i7-980x @48k <--Previous generation/Nehalem

bharat 6850 will be arounnd 9.5k. no need to look back.

That i7 2600k makes me drool at it, even though I am holding the i5 2500k right now.......

i dont know much about the sandy bridge.. but is i7-2600k @16.9k <--Current generation/Sandy Bridge the entering price range in i7's?

bharat 6850 will be arounnd 9.5k. no need to look back.

okie... thanx..

off topic: site sayz i will get rid off the adv. if i remain active.. and what does active really mean here?

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

if you use firefox or chrome, get adblock.
no more ads to distract you then.

 

[bharat_14101991]

but wont that hurt the funding for the site? i'm from a hacking site and i know how much do these adv. matter to them...

btw please, i would love it if you can answer my question above...

hey don't you want to upgrade your pc???

forget what will hurt whose funding, mate.
btw, using adblock means you won't see the ads. thats it. they don't get removed from the site. its just that it doesn't show up in your pc.

so plz concentrate on finalizing your rig.

lol... okie back to track.. so as in my earlier post i was asking "i dont know much about the sandy bridge.. but is i7-2600k @16.9k <--Current generation/Sandy Bridge the entering price range in i7's?"

That's the ONLY SB i7 you will get in the Indian market dude.

Though there are two other i7's also.
i7-2600 and i7-2600S.

In the Intel website,
i7-2600S <--$306
i7-2600K <--$317
i7-2600 <--$294

All of these processors have 3.4GHz base clock speed (2600S has 2.8GHz however), 8MB L3 Cache & 4 cores/8 threads.

 

[bharat_14101991]

ohhh.. i dont know much about hardware.. i'm just a software guy... thanx alot for the help.. so finally i think i7 is out of my reach

yep. you can go for i5-2400 if you want to as was suggested before.

 

[bharat_14101991]

okie.. listening to the experts... i'll go for it...

btw can you tell me how to overclock? i'm total noob in these things

no need to OC a sandybridge proccy.
also i5-2400 is non-OCable.
i5-2500k is OCable but will cost 11k.

 

[bharat_14101991]

nah not that i just want to know what exactly is overclocking? and how much can i overclock a processor of 3.0 ghz???

Overclocking

Overclocking depends on a number of factors. People have overclocked sandybridge processors to 6 or 7GHz also. Even old dual cores like mine (E21xx) have been overclocked to 4 or 5GHz from a base clock of 1.6GHz-2GHz. So there is no distinct answer to how much you can OC a 3GHz proccy.

 

[bharat_14101991]

ohhh.. okie... then how to know the limit? mean after what you processor will just melt up??

 

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

ohhh.. okie... then how to know the limit? mean after what you processor will just melt up??

if the cooling isn't enuff, then the proccy will be ruined sooner.
and still there is no distinct limit to that.
my slow 1.8GHz dual core is totally out of thermal paste and temps rise to 80-82 degrees while gaming at lowest settings and it idles at 50 degrees. No crashes or hangs have happened EVER however. But that doesn't mean its life span is not shortened.
