for me depends on Price Performance and Performace/Watt...

The chips with E are 95w TDP and have larger boost it seems. I looking at only the E chips although 8370 set new world record for the Ghz challenge.

Asus only tested their revision 2 boards can support FX 9000 series right? Asrock flagship and refresh is the Extreme9 with 12+2 phase?

Asrock Fatal1ty Killer is not bad too. With m.2 ssd connector.

Yeah. I noticed but seems like AM3+ board not many options here. Intel boards like all over the place. Spoilt for choice. Lol

Lol, since all people buying Intel. In business prospective, retail shops sure will sell what is popular among DIY users. And this will induce a vicious cycle on AMD products... less people buy -> less people sell -> less you can buy.....

Yah. Frankly speaking, I don't support any camps. Just whoever can give best bang for bucks within my budget, I would just throw my money there.

I recently had a discussion with another friend who is more bias towards Intel. He gave me a very interesting outlook about the mindset of a Intel user.

He say people should buy more AMD so AMD has more disposable cash to R&D and compete effectively with Intel. By doing so, Intel will feel the pressure and produce better products. We do agree that overall effect is beneficial to all computer users because the 2 chip makers would have better stuff for us all. :D

Hope can have such a smooth experience as yours.


Amazon give 30 days return warranty. But if u can smooth talk their **** CSR, they might even exchange a faulty item after 30 days. I exchanged something faulty after 90 days once :s13: After that you are on ur own.
