Athlon II X2 240 vs FX-4100 Quad-Core - Need For Speed: Payback GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q - Game Performance Benchmarks

AMD Athlon ii X2 240 TempsSo I am using an AMD Athlon ii X2 240 in my server and its in a shed. What would the lowest temp the CPU should be ran at. It is 56 Fahrenheit right now out side and the CPU is idle at 17 degrees Celsius. The lowest it has reached in the past week is 6 degrees Celsius. Then it averages 14.4 Degrees Celsius. Is that good or should I move it inside to a climate controlled environment.

I don't think the CPU will be affected by low temps, but other parts of the PC might. If it gets near freezing in the shed, some motor/bearing lubricants in fans might gum up. And if the humidity fluctuates with rising and dropping temps, moister will form... also not good. It might be best to move it to a controlled climate area. Or put a space heater in the shed that has thermostat control.

Overclocked athlon ii x2 240 for gtx 460?If i happen to overclock my cpu to let's 3.2 ghz, will it still bottleneck a gtx 460 graphics card?

It depends on your game. If u play games that are GPU-demanded like Crysis Series or Battlefield Series, your CPU wouldn't be a problem at all. But if your games are CPU or both CPU/GPU demanded, like the Far Cry or the coming GTA 5, I don't think your CPU could handle it, unless u change your CPU or try to overclock it to say 4.0Ghz or higher.(Don't know if your coller could handle it) Or, since your CPU is an AM3 type, u may better get a new Athlon X4 CPU (there is one which is on sale in newegg.com priced $79). I always appreciate an entry quad-core CPU plus a mid-high GPU (like HD 7850/HD 6850 or GTX 560/GTX 660).

athlon ii x2 240 for gtx 460?will this cpu bottleneck the grahics card?

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-3-graphics-performance,3063-3.htmlPlease, enlighten me. Of course, it doesn't perform as well as current or last-gen hardware, but to say it struggles is an exaggeration.

You can! Just be careful, and stress your overclock with Prime 95.

AMD Athlon II x2 240 good?Its clocked at 2.8ghz and have 2mb on it, is it good enough to play games like GTA V or Call of duty,BattleField?

Yes, at low settings. If you have a decent graphics card it will help.
