if that is brisbane, 1.5v is ok, but windsor, 1.5v is not quite good for 24/7 uses.

yup. thats why i have no choice but to reduce to stock vcore. coz im a bter

I feel my new processor lags on my games. Also my 3dmark only got 10000 rather 12000. any reason for this?

What kind of games u lagging?
Ignore 3DMark.

forged alliance.

Because you downgraded from 4 cores to 2.... cpu score in 3dmark 06 decreased.

yes. but 4 core running at 2.4 and 2 core running at 3.2.
what the state in this thread that 3.2 is faster for gaming.

If i were you,i will choose to stay with 4 cores.4 cores even not all games ultilize it,it reduces bottlenecking more than 2 cores.

What is your 3dmark with the overclock your having? Your processor and graphics are same with mine.

3dmark06 does not reflect real gaming performance. Anyhow, don't forget that phenom core vs X2 core at equal clockspeed, phenom is ~10 to 20% faster in games.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ph...x2,1746-10.html

If the game uses more than 2 threads simultaneously (which games nowadays mostly limit at 2!), then phenom will be faster even at 2.4GHz.

thanks for the link. now i know why.

Just noticed something in that link LOL....particularly in Supreme Commander, phenom core is 45% faster!! 0.o But then that's on low resolution...as resolution increases, I think the difference is smaller.

my pc reboot twice now. never have this issue before. just like someone press the reset button. anyone know why?

If i were u i will buy phenom x4 9850BE..but ur mobo....

I guess its BSOD.Try checking your settings.By the way,Untick the " Restart Computer when error"
Somewhere in Computer Properies option.

Check all the temp reading see got anything overheating >??

maybe the auto-shutdown feature in bios when ur temp rised to the set amount (default 80c).i've had this prob too when 1st purchase my mobo.try disable it in bios if thats the prob..

i wanted. the shop ay its too hot. regret



its not. no blue sceen. where to untick?



41c only. i dont think its hot.

the shop ppl afraid u will frying the mobo..coz stock TDP is 125W if come to oc sure will over then da...

System properties-->advanced--->startup and recovery --->uncheck automatically restart box

Yea. True
But people will go Intel instead

-pWs-

supreme commander is multi-threaded, for sure it'll run better than d x2. but if compared to intel quaddies, fore sure phenoms won't be as gud.

The link I posted, the whole set of tests were in single core (they disabled all the remaining cores).

pardon me for my ignorance bro, didn't read thoroughly...

but still, if there's a penryn there, we'll know which will be d fastest...

Ya of course lol

Is it good,if Deneb are 5~20% faster than Yorkfield?
Fudzilla says Deneb is slightly faster than Yorkfield
Btw david,whats your current OC?

3GHz 1.25V on a cheap mobo...lol

My PC keep rebooting after a while. Even I push higher volt to 1.275v 3.ghz. something is wrong.
can anyone help?

Hmm..strange.
Try increase to 1.3V
Something not right here.

yesterday after i push to 1.275 and run orthos for 2 hour is was running well.

do u stress the ram as well?

Hmm, Orthos default stress cpu and ram together ma.

Mind to attach CPU-z (CPU & Mem) & Memset screenie??

-pWs-

keep hanging and booting.

Few suggestions:

1. Lower down the HT Link Speed
2. Make the Command Rate to 2T

-pWs-

i think no need to lower down the HT Link Speed
Ram timing Command Rate (CR) set to 2T
maybe can at lil bit vdimm..1.90v or 1.95v
ur ram same as mine...team elite..but the timing i use is 5/5/5/16/19/2T

Are u still using the standard cooler?

People like you ? jk jk


True, some more Intel quaddies can clock well too that's why it is preferable

i tried E7200 default clock same like 3ghz X2 performance..

L2 cache that should perform better

X2 lack of L2 cache compare to intel.

how to change to 2t?



i use ddr667. do i have to add voltage?



yes.

press ctrl + f1 in bios main page, then go to d page where u can adjust d settings for ram. look for command rate, change it from 1t to 2t...

for normal ram, if it's runnin 800~900MHz @ 5-5-5-x, 1.9v is d max. u don't need to give 'em extra juice just to make 'em stable, sometimes it's more on d main timings/sub-timings that make 'em unstable. i mite be wrong thou, wait for mem tweakin gurus for their advices...

want to ask. which hsf is better for my 4600+.

Thermaltake big thyphoon. second at 100.
Thermalright HR01. no fan. second at 100.
Artic cooling freezer 64 pro. sceond at 70.
Coolermaster Hyper tx2. new at 75.
Xigmatek s963 new at 100.

performance wise, i think big typhoon is d best.

if can sacrifice some performance for d sake of gettin a new cooler, i'll go for hyper tx 2 personally.



source: x-bit labs. more HERE

my 4850 is already loud as i raise the fan to 60%. i don't care about the loudness but i need something cool. im also thingking to get tx2.
but will it cool enough my processor.

@ah khoo. thanks for the guidance and sale.
@ pws. thanks for the help yesterday. dont smoke too much. later get breast cancer.

if u really immune to noise, by all mean go for big typhoon, then get a higher cfm fan to replace d stock fan. u should have very gud load temp w/ that combo.

ot:
no sweat for d deal, u scratch my back & i scratch yas only... but i do agree that we owed bro -pWs- a big time...

big thyphoon really that good. better than s963? nice.
gave pws some temporary incentives.

yup, i think it's d best among all those listed by u, even w/ d stock fan.

i think big typhoon is the best cpu cooler.. i wonder which cooler can beat it with the same fan speed...
that's why i own it
