Great Succes with Q9450

daffyracers03 · 05-17-2008, 05:07 PM

I just picked up a Q9450 yesterday from Fry's sale for $279. I didnt expect my mobo (See Sig.) to support it, but I did the beta bios update available for the mobo and the chip runs cool and smooth. No bottlenecking seen anywhere. So for those who were skeptical on using a Q9450 with Gigabyte 965p-DS3, it works perfect. Just make sure you have sufficient RAM (2GB) and Power Supply(550+).
