Hi! I currently use for my HTPC (XBMC based, under Windows, no GPU assisted decoding) an E2160 o/c at 3.0.
Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3.
I wanted to know whether, not changing motherboard I could simply switch to an E5200 o/c it to 3.5 or something.
Cooling solution is a XP120, mounting a Noctua NF-S12-800 fan.
I need the upgrade because, unfortunately, VC-1 decoding in FFMPEG is still single threaded and I can't playback properly straight Bluray backups.
