special for 940be user...

meh, i'm just a lite clocker only bro, i can share nothing but some amateurish experience only.

we're on d same boat sis, but for me it doesn't matter what d oc setup is > gone were d days where higher fsb gives better performance, d thing i concern most is high clock (allowed by my crappy coolin) + low volt. a chip which can overclock well but able to undervolt always give me orgasm...

ceh, x nak... i7 wannabe...

aik... logo for i 7???

looks gay..

Eeeee....very difficult question, especially have to answer in this thread (lol jk)
I think that's depend on your computing purpose & budget.
If you're dealing something demanding high memory bandwidth & high instruction per cycle,
Ci7 is a good choice if money not an issue.
Performance wise 940BE, 955BE are close to Q9550, Q9650.
Some AMD CPUs have high c/p ratio, eg the 720BE. Imagine you spend for RM510 but you get the performance like Q9xxx series ( If you're lucky enough)

To me, i would love to try the 955BE for its awesome hike under subzero cooling
Also i believe the quadie can do well in some 3d benchmarking ( that's why you see i posted a lot of 3d benchmark ss )

Bad thing to say now, Integrated Memory Controller used to be the pride of AMD but I'd noticed the memory bandwidth performance seems degrading since 90nm.
Used to have the ultimate 90nm X2 3800+ and I'm proud to say the memory performance is on par with c2d + rampage extreme + DDR3 ram. The 65nm AMD CPU really sux up big time and for this 955BE, i haven't test thoroughly though. Somehow i feel like it can't beat its predecessor. Will do some testing to figure it out.

The other thing is the RAID performance which i mentioned before. My SSD RAID 0 performing poorly with the SB750. Now i even doubt the onboard Jmicron SATA solution can outperform the SB750. If its true then it's real big shame for AMD.

agreed . intel outside but deep inside always amd for me .

dont flame me also

hey people ! i have been not around recently cos i have finally achieved sth -.- sth very small.. lol..

i over clocked my 7850BE to 3.3ghz.. finally after so many trial and error.. kinda satisfied now..

take a look. thanks peeps !

Wow. Even nt same capacity can dual channel.

-pWs-

1st time im seeing such thing

anyway, it is better to OC x720 without unlocking the extra core?

Depends on whut ur gonna do with it, in gaming, surfing bla bla no need go up to quad ler..
But if ur heavy multitasker, folding, video encoding try ah go up highest u can get with the quad..
Oh yeah, i forgot most synthetic benchies like vantage etc just love quads

No replica i7 Logo pl0x
It looks awful anyway because its not original.AMD nicer
AMD is now something like price/performance ratio.Thats where AMD good..

Seriously, the TMPIN 1 and 3 gone haywire...where does this TMPIN located, mobo or proc...I got to send either one for replacement or RMA lar like this...

TMPIN 1 is stuck at 45 no matter what and TMPIN 3 has a maximum of only 60...

During my last Priming session I noticed the temps weren't moving even after I stop prime nearly 1 hour and manually touched heatsink both Proc and Northbridge which clearly indicates that if the TMPIN readings were to be true, my finger didn't felt any excessive hear at all...

And during Priming the temps readings on TMPIN 1 and 3 are both non-reflect the temps of the Proc and NB which I also manually touch and feel....

Another thing when I enable in Bios regarding temp shutdown at 75c....my PC shuts off even when the readings in HWMonitor and Overdrive during priming never showed 75c

eh bro wanna ask ah what is folding?

u can Pm uzairi or -pWs- . but dont get poison by them

part of distributed computing. a server distribute work unit (WU) to users, let PC do work, send back result.
for FAH, the homeworks are usually protein related.

ADD:also a way to spend ur 3.xxGHz processor with a meaningful job

is acc only avaialble at newer cpu? or it solely on mobo?
my new mobo cant go above 270mhz...
donno y..even at low multi...

and one more thing

The ACC only available on certain mobo.

Edit : Anyone knows where to get those sound dampening mat?

nice..
im 7750 be user...
r u using stock cooler or custom made?...
can show the pic if custom made....

if under load 100%, what is ur temp reading?
mine can reach 70~75C (stock cooler and not yet OC)...

p/s : anybody here can show me the best hsf for amd x2?... i google it and too many product/price/review...
poning kepala den nie oi

The hsf is depends on your budget. Tell us so we can give you some recommendation
