Planing to upgrade my CPU. Need help!

[Bioern]

Hi,

Im currently using an AMD PHenom II x4 950BE. As I need more performance for botting in the future im planning to upgrade my CPU.
I will need more power as Im planning to add some bots and the next addon will require more CPU power for sure and currently my CPU is at 95-100% with 13 bots running.

My Mainboard is unimportant. I will buy a new one if its required.

What im not really sure about is what CPU i should upgrade to.
Is it usefull to upgrade to a 6 Core CPU like the AMD Phenom II x6 1100T? Will thsoe cores get used properly by HB and WoW as I heard that WoW only supports 4 cores.
All in all I wouldnt want to spend more than 250? on the CPU.

I use a very similar CPU but i have 4GB Ram and a very good graphics card so that might make it a bit different.
if you are looking to buy a CPU i will always reccomend AMD but intel are just as good, and when it comes to money, you get what you pay for in most cases.
Be careful what chipset you buy also as your mobo might be older and the new chip-set's will not be supported.

The 6 core sounds good but i don't believe that WoW supports 6 Cores and only supports 4, i will have to look into it more to confirm this.

250 Euro's should be good enough for a new CPU and maybe a new mobo depending on your setup.

I have 8Gb RAM and my GPU is at 15-30% with 13 wows
But what im really unsure about is if 6 cores really bring a benfit over 4 cores.
Or if the new 8 core CPUs are even better. I know they were not that good in benchmarks but they dont test them on 13 wows just on single game with high details and such. Not really usabel for my case.
Thanks for your advide anyway

I know what you mean, im not sure how many cores WoW will support in the upcoming patch's.

Word of advice, have you tried setting all the graphics to minimum, surely that would relive some processing stress, as-well as GPU.

I have and 8 core AMD FX @ 3.6 Ghz and 32GB of ram. There are some tricks you can do with the wow config files to lock it to certain cores. I wouldn't recommend it unless you read up on what you are doing. You could wind up having to reinstall WoW if you can't undo what you did if you screw up.

How many wows do you run and what CPU did you have before?

My settings are even below "low".
Funny thing is that before the patch everything went fine but after the patch everything lags really hard. So either HB or wow use a lot more CPU since patch

Every wow you start is a new task .
Therefore it should be equal how much cores wow Supports.
I think it is possible to run each wow instance on an different core from the cpu.
You could by a new bulldozer cpu. They arent really expensive and you have 8 cores.

BTW has anyone else notices HB and/or wow needing more CPu since 4.3?

Yep, honorbuddy using bigger part of processor usage. Which isnt good for me:<

Ye thats why im posting this thread

I have an Phenom 955 BE, overclocked to 3.7GHz, really easy overclock and it's stable.

Yes, I noticed that after patch 4.3, there were increasingly cpu usage. I use Core 2 Duo E7500 @3,6GHz with Intel G31 Chipset, 4 GB ram. with 6 wow + HB CPU keep at 95%-100%.. Before patch about 80%-100%..
