There is a Phenom "Black Edition" huh. Didn't know about this though.

QUOTE(lex @ Feb 21 2008, 10:47 AM) We saw that quite some time ago.. just didn't want to comment much of it, basically the outcome was still the same as other Phenom (non Black Edition) reviews. Wow..Didn't know about this problem with the Phenom though. Yea, you are right regarding the performance. From the charts shown in the review, it really shows the BE aint significantly better than the non-BE. Nothing much to shout about as well.. Anyway, just for your information.... try looking up on Google (or other search engines) on this... "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within an allocated time" Seems that some batches (quite a number, really) of Phenom shipped came with a defective or much slower 3rd core. This caused BSODs even on stock clocks, and its NOT related to the TLB bug... Possibly now we are beginning to see the reason for AMD's upcoming Triple Core... So anyone with Phenoms encountering this problem, suggest or recommend RMA that processor... QUOTE(lex @ Feb 21 2008, 11:06 AM) If no BSOD then it should be OK, possibly not the defective batch... However, to test it, try stressing all 4 cores at once (most of the time only 2 cores used on most programs).. So, in this case, what do the people who have defective batch do? RMA?More info here... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=175878 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cf...d=y&STARTPAGE=1 http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/248265-2...ing-flaky-cores ... the rest search on Google... |

QUOTE(lex @ Feb 22 2008, 11:31 AM) It started since Phenom became available. They thought it was the TLB issue, but even after the patch was applied, the problem continued. Then some of the owners noticed the actual source of the problem during testing... rest is history. Haha...First Tri-Core available As can be seen from those links, RMA was the best choice and they got back a full working quad core.... |
