what did I write above?guys i've heard that there are heating issues with the phenom II 9** processors...........
I live in delhi and dont have an ac installed in my room.
Keeping in mind the tempratures during summer here would it be good idea to go with 965 BE.....??
But yes, you will have to buy a CPU cooler like Cooler Master Hyper TX3 (Rs. 1300) with Phenom II 955 BE.
Reason? AMD's cooler is cheap, but for working well it gets noisy.
I have Intel i5-2500k. Its cooler is also cheap, but because it NEVER worked well, so never got noisy. So, I also bought a cooler from Cooler Master.

Just buy these.so can i find phenom 965 BE without the stock fan and buy another cpu fan....??
did you meant that 965 cooler is quieter than 955's......??First of all, don't just jump to a CPU cooler. 1st buy the Processor and use it with the Stock fan. Although louder, Phenom II has a far better Stock cooler when compared to Intel offerings. It is actually copper pipe based and keeps the CPU really cool. After using it for some times, if you feel that there are high noise level or heating issues then get an after market cooler.
The noise problem is actually mainly with a certain batch of Phenom II 955 processor's cooler. AFAIK, 965 is quite quieter than 966.
Also i heard about something called oem products.....?
Aren't they without fans...??
yeah. That is true. Simply reduce "Vcore" through BIOS. Easy stuff.Also i've read that gigabyte mobos by default provide higher voltages to the cpu.......and that's why so many heating problems with 965 BE......
Please clarify.
^ No one crossfires later. Either you crossfire on day #1 or within a month. Otherwise you don't.
By the time you'll think of Crossfiring, faster "single GPU" cards will be available for cheap.
And single GPU > MultiGPU. Multiple GPU drivers can be buggy. Not a smooth gaming experience.
get Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3 (rev. 3.1) - price should be around ~4.8k
Not available in Delhi. Hardly available anywhere else.What about ga 880ga ud3h....??
