[axlhm]

best money i have ever invested

[CobraGMW2]

Is it good for gaming? and is it better then Core 2 Quad Q9400?

[CobraGMW2]

I currently have this right next to my monitor, is it better then Core 2 Quad Q9400 in a gaming way?

[JamesDwho]

@CobraGMW2 in SuperPi 32m the Q9400 takes about 10mins 54secs to complete the benchmark and the i5 2300-2400 series CPU's take about 8mins 7secs, aside from performance the i5 2310 is a 32nm CPU so it uses less power and produces less heat

@JamesDwho ps im adding 8gb ddr3 ram around 2000 mhz i hope its good for it

I'm planning to upgrade my Rig.. Will used it for encoding and editing videos.. Is Intel Core i5 2310 sufficient for this task *faster encoding*.. btw My current processor is E5200 and it lags when encoding videos.. Here's my upgrades:

Intel Core i5 2310 (SR02K) 2.9ghz (Quad Core)

Asrock H61M/U3S3

G.Skill Sniper 8gb dual cl9

Thanks :)

[JamesDwho]

@wajinshu the Core i5 2310 will do a great job at rendering and encoding videos, it shouldn't lag at all

@JamesDwho

Thanks for the fast reply... I really appreciate it :)

i bought this processor because i'm not a fan of overclocking, and for almost 5 months i can say it is amazing. along with a gigabyte radeon HD 6850 it runs very good. Windows experience index gives it a 7.4.

Hi, im thinking of buying a new computer, but dont want to spend too much money on it and still have a good gaming computer, Can you tell me if this is a good set up? if not, what would u change ?

Cooler Master Elite 430 Midi Tower Black

Silver Power SP-SS620M 620W PSU ATX 12V V2.2

Intel® Core i5-2310

MSI H61MU-E35 B3

Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9 Kit w/2x 4GB XMS3 modules

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.1

the CM tower comes with 1 fan, im gonna put more fans in it.

[JamesDwho]

@Theiarz the only thing i can really see wrong with it is the RAM, ud be better off with CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8, still 1600Mhz, 8GB, except the latencies are 8-8-8-24 so u would get a lot more performance out of ur system

[Theiarz]

@JamesDwho Okay, thanks for helping :)

HELLO!

Im Planing to buy a pc with this cpu i just got a question ... would u recomend this cpu for a gaming pc? Here Are The Whole Spec's Of the pc im buying

Intel Core i5 quad core Core i5-2310.

Processor speed 2.9GHz.

8GB DDR3 RAM.

Dedicated graphics.

On-board graphics memory.

NVIDIA GeForce 1GB GTX550TI graphics card with 1000MB memory.

[JamesDwho]

@Sean1337Production with most new games the performance bottleneck is always usually GPU related, if u get ur self setup with a Quad Core CPU u should be perfectly fine, fyi if i were u i would upgrade to a GTX 560 or GTX 560ti.

[Sean1337Production]

@JamesDwho Im Pleased With The Fast Respond

Another Question ... would u be able to Overclock the procesoor .. becouse i would like to over clock up to 3.3 ghz at least

[JamesDwho]

@Sean1337Production u can overclock the CPU up to the MAX turbo frequency which is 3.2Ghz

[Sean1337Production]

@JamesDwho what about the temparture of the cpu ? becouse i dont want to buy a pc over clock it first day and then brake it the next day

[JamesDwho]

@Sean1337Production the i5 2310 is designed to natively run at 3.2Ghz (Turbo Mode), the cpu should stay within safe temperatures

[Sean1337Production]

@JamesDwho but i got a little problem here sir ... i live in uk .. and i dont trust websides like ebay with pc etc. and i got a shop (only shop in rage 120 km) that got all brilliant pc's but there is a thing and its called Grapihics Card .. its All ways this here > Intel HD 2000 graphics card. i want to buy a i5 or i7 but i got only one pc with i5 and good GC i listed it erily ... but if i buy a diffrent gc my warrenty gose ... so u see ?

[RUSSIAN26KILLER]

well the intel lga1155 have a update to be as fast as lga2011

[JamesDwho]

@RUSSIAN26KILLER probably not, i think that Intel is reserving the high end 6 core CPU's for LGA 2011
