Me everyday see 1055 n 1090

Only no money in pocket to buy

You want ker??

tomolo will check out CH4 how much...

OooOoo...want me be guinea pig erk...

Trust me when I say, AMD or any silicon manufacturer have no idea regarding the exact timeframe of when or how long can the proc can live...they usually estimates (using data from the proc working voltage, temperature and architecture) and provides a time frame that suits the probability or failure and product lifespan...if they (CPU manufacturer) thinks an architecture can last them 6 years of production, then its no stranger when it comes to a 3 years warranty for the proc that is being sold for the end-user...I've witness many new boxed proc (be it from intel and AMD) fail to work after just installed but unlike memory or hard drives, the number isn't as many as the production of the CPU has a higher and tighter tolerance for error in the factory as compared to other PC components...

Voltage alone isn't what kills the processor...a bad chapalang PSU for instance is a big NO NO if you want to ensure your proc or even other components to last....To date i've seen 486 PC still running strong and so does Pentium and Pentium 2 PCs...but most of them are from highly respected vendors such as Siemens Nixdorf or NEC....those clones or Datamini like brands usually dies quick, due to the use of cheap PSU or low quality mobo...Even the early Dells are high in quality in terms of the hardware...

So whether upping 0.1 or 0.2 volts will shorten the lifespan of the proc or not, is not really a question...it depends largely on where you put your proc on...

Cheap stuff = cheap reliability...

Do you dare put i7 9xx on X58 made by Biostar

Or would you spend >1k on mobo and put you precious Extreme Editions proc

Thats why server mobos are no strangers to high price tags because it is designed to work long hours with minimal downtime...but they are not high in performance....

Stuff that usually kills proc (apart from excessive overvoltage or high temp) would be:

-A bad PSU
-A bad Mobo
-Lightning/Power Surge (from mains)

If it designed to run 3.4ghz per core on a Phenom 2 965BE, then all the cores are running at 3.4ghz and not 1.7Ghz or 850mhz per core...

What divided usually means is, each core is running on its own speed and the processor isn't running at add up total, such as if Phenom 2 965BE, the speed isn't 13.6Ghz but working at 3.4ghz per core...

juz touch and molested the 890FXA-UD7 juz now....wanna buy but no cash to spend...



also waiting for this;

dunno...i wanted to join but after reading some of the review regarding the per core Thuban vs Bloomfield, i think i stick with i7 for now....

But thuban memory controller looks very good

yap...but luckily the reserved one PCI slot so I can use back me ol-Creative SB Live Digital...
