grab ler.. nowadays very cheap.. beat down my 4ghz setup edy while X4 on 3ghz..
if not that power hunger sure i follow.. still on my beloved 400W psu.. lol
even lol.. with my 4850GS..

Dun think that my current 500w PSU can support 9950/ 9850 well too
A decent 750w PSU would do the job well
So got to settle down with x3

Eh..
I dont think it requires so much o..
Your 500W is enough for 9850BE..Dont get tricked by the TDP so much..
Sometimes its just speculation,or even its tested it wont be so accurate.

x3 @ 2.8~3.0GHz aint too bad, d rest (figures) are for pleasures of eyes only...

if stock clock yes, but oc wise... i doubt d 3 +12v rails (14a, 13a & 6a) can handle d load.

Yeah..3.0Ghz is already good for X3,since its a crippled,a disabled chip

using OC X4 with 500W psu still ok right?

anyone got friends/relatives/family in d states?

here's a super duper gud deal... too bad my cousin who work there last time is back in M'sia ledi...

so far i see MSI only allows 4x dual slot gpu.. how la like this..

Miahahaha, i tido ler last night..
It's just so happened that i posted at 4am coz i woke up to watch the Champions League Man Utd vs Celtic game ler..
Hmmm 60c is still ok i guess, i was more worried of any shrieking noise coming from the pwm..
Luckily it didn't happened
Guess my 80mm blow fan mod works ah.. but to go above 3ghz i think i need to heatsink the pwm 1st..

Miahahahaha, go ler try the powah of Phenom 9850BE ah.. When u go black u never go back

When i start using it really does feel quite snappy, and multitasking is much better..
It really is worth my moolah.. Miahahahaha..

@ cloudwan
How to do your mod fan on PWM of TA790GX? Got some pic on it?

Hmm..But 790FX is too much for me..2X PCIE Slot is more than enough for users like me
Hmm..Waiting Native Dual Core GPU..

Miahahahaha.. I didn't mod much, took a 80mm fan then hang it in between my cpu hsf and back of my case directly above the pwm..
The fan just blow cool air straight to the pwm area, but i had to left my sidepanel open ler coz if not the fan couldn't be hanged.. that's all, it works so far..

this was what i did previously...



cable tie a 6cm fan onto d 4pin connector of psu.

Added on October 22, 2008, 12:28 pmWell i don't think i'm gonna use more than 2 PCIE slots too..
But the main selling point to me is becoz of it's 790FX+SB750 pairing..
790FX mobo do oc much better than 790GX mobo's..

$5 for 4 bijik... bought it from bro uglyvamp's shop in sls... it's been a while since he last had his bbs in lowyat...

for sure it's better, but whether alot or just a 'lil, i cant really answer.

yup, thermal tape.

Dont think only CPU PWN mosfets need sinking with HS

Sometime N/B PWN mosfets also need to sinking with HS ...Coz when using Phenom..u will play with n/b multiplier +freq. So....

I don't really think it would be that bad if u keep the n/b speed at its stock speed..
Like when i o/c my phenom to 3ghz i kept the nb at it's 2000mhz speed by playing around with it's mul..
One thing that i really like playing around with phenom is that u can individually oc the speed of the cpu while maintaining the htt n nb at its default speed..
U could say that interconnected but not entirely connected

thanks to d unlocked multi, u won't have such luck if u have a locked phenom.
