OP OP tj107us1 In Runtime Messages 332 Location USA May 4, 2010 #3 yeah your right i looked at the price diff. and the 960 aint worth it im gonna got the 930
L lhuser Golden Master Messages 13,147 May 5, 2010 #4 Exactly. The price range is huge compared to both. You can easily OC that 930 to get the specs of the 960

OP OP tj107us1 In Runtime Messages 332 Location USA May 6, 2010 #6 How high can a I7 930 go in Ghz if it is water cooled?
