Some Games CPU test your G3220 will be weaker around 7,5% compared to non OC G3258 in test I3-3220 will be weaker around 10% compared to non OC i3-3225 in test http://overclock.pl/articles/show/id/660,8,13,wydajnosc-po-podkreceniu-zestawienie-zbiorcze-gtx-780 Upvote 0 Downvote

Jun 18, 2014 2,329 3 22,665 Last thing normal haswell CPU will works on your mobo *example i3-4130 refresh haswell *example i3-4160 required bios update If you have acer mobo for lga 1155 install CPU and use your i3. Or try sell this acer mobo and i3 on ebay, you earn around 110$. And grab cheap i5 from local microcenter 159$ http://www.microcenter.com/product/432161/Core_i5-4590_33GHz_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor Sell old pentium 20-25$ total cost for i5-4590 160$ - 110$ -25$ = 25$ Upvote 0 Downvote You must log in or register to reply here.
