Anyone wanna try the Phenom 8650/8750?

If you have a mobo chip that can push HTT to 250, the later will run at 3Ghz stock volts, possibly even more.

It's definitely less TDP limited than its older brother, and hopefully enough for 3.3 stock topping.

Geez, this gets more enticing by the minute.

No, not mine. I'm on a lowly X2 that can't even get over 250HTT.
This is on Asus's Crosshair 2 Formula mobo, nForce 780a. The nForces seem better than the 790FX now, for OC that is.

DFI's M2RS 4 (+1?) phase power might be the cause of the Phenom 8750 not reaching 3Ghz steady though.


Now that the 9850's only RM7XX, I'm not too sure about the 8750 again. 9850 means OCing high with cheap RAM, something that gets forgotten when you step into keywords like E8400 and 4Ghz.

Trust me, at 3Ghz or even 2.8Ghz, it's fast enough. It won't bottleneck 2 graphics cards.

And it whips the E8400 when you're actually trying to multitask, unlike the review environments where they have a clean copy of XP with virtually NOTHING running and therefore not measuring load balancing and all.

Habuk, try cooling your PWMs. They get quite hot on the M2RS.

Hopefully this allows you to push extra vCore and HTT to 3G.

Even if it doesn't OC better, cool PWMs are safer and make a board last longer.

Aiyo... rookies shouldn't really start with a DFI board. It's quite frustrating if something turns out wrong.

I wouldn't really want to touch one until I'm pretty good with SPD, P-states, MSR and stuff.

Chris Ray of SLiZone got a 9550, max 2.5Ghz/2.4 stable.

But I blame the M3A HT-DELUXE BIOS more than anything. Early ASUS bios versions are like cluster humps. You don't really want to touch them. For example, Chris' CPU could OC more without thermal paste- now WTF is that exactly.



Or that board is crippled just to make way for their retardedly expensive ROG boards... I have no idea.
