I have been using 1090T/1045T GHz (3.0 GHz CPU-NB) and 2500K GHz side-by-side for quite some time. If you choose to go that route, I would still discourage you from picking that ASRock 970 board.

> Costlier in both time/money spent but you get lower power consumption with better single-thread performanceģ) Upgrade to Bulldozer/9 series platform -> Questionable/inconsistent performance depending on what you do. I would say your options are:ġ) Keep the 890GX, grab a new 1045T or a used 1090T for less than $100 and overclock it -> Cheapest and easiestĢ) Upgrade to Sandy/Ivy bridge platform. Only issue I have is USB 3.0 losing its connection occasionally but that has been the problem since I got it, when USB 3.0 was just being adopted. I have been running an 1090T and 1045T GHz, up to 3.0 GHz CPU NB, and up to 300 HTT, for almost 2 years now. Said that, the board you have is an excellent overclocker, especially for X6's. I would not subject them under stressful long-term usage. ($100~$120)ĪSRock boards are great jack-of-all-traders, but those low-priced ones indeed are quite fragile. ($80~$100) If you are going to overclock, at least step up to ASUS 990X territory.
If you are not into overclocking, Gigabyte 970X boards would be a good choice.
"Extreme," "X" nomenclature may entice your eyes for a second, but that's basically all there's to it. If you are going to upgrade to Bulldozer, then you may want to consider 9 Series boards, but I would still avoid that ASRock board. If you're staying with Phenoms, stay with the ASUS board. The only real difference between 8 series boards and 9 series boards are Bulldozer support. Your ASUS 890GX board is a better quality board than the ASRock 970 board. I can't speak for Bulldozer performance, but I can for the motherboard you have now, and the one you have in mind. If you don't have anything else to say about that, I'll go with ASROCK 970 PRO3 (or possibly an ASROCK 970 EXTREME3 - just 10€ price difference, but as long as I have 1 or 2 sata3 and usb3 ports, I'm fine) and an FX-8150.Īny last why the 8120? Why not a 6200, if it's just to save money?Ĭlick to expand.There is nothing stopping you from changing the platform to newer Intel chips, but there is nothing wrong with saving time and money by drop-in CPU upgrade, either. Needless to say, I don't want, in any way, to save time for video encoding while sacrificing any FPS for gaming.Īlso, I might consider moving to a combo intel cpu+mainboard, as long as I don't have to sell a kidney I didn't average the FPS but, as long as the price difference goes, I thought the 980 was better value.Īnyway, the performance right now is quite right (of course, I'm talking about everything else but encoding) so the upgrade is just for that. One is better on first pass, but the 8150 rocks on the second pass.
I was considering the ASROCK 970 PRO3.Īnyway on the benchmark section here on anandtech the two processors are not that different. Well, in case it's not a problem to waste 60-70€ on a new mainboard. On the CPU support page, this CPU is reported as "Beta support only" I'm wondering, in case I choose an FX-8150, if I should replace it. The mainboard I'm using is an ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3.
