cool, preordered my Asus M3A32-mvp deluxe with the ram heatspreaders last nite and a X2 4000+ to see me till 08 when i get the phenom cpu. got em on order from overclockers.co.uk

Edit: on that link you provided, this was interesting:

"Pictures of AMD Phenom 9600 processor and CPU-Z screen shot. The name of the CPU is Phenom X4 with codename Agena. It is rated 65nm at a core voltage of 0.976v"

0.976V? cool

also, that 2.3ghz chip is faring ok against a higher clocked intel quad core, and the phenom is not even on a fully compatable motherboard

that phenom runs on HT1 not HT3 as on AMD 700 series (770,780X/790FX)
so it should be a bit faster and i bet the ram is slow to on that system it was that last time

Why is there a clubhouse for something that hasn't been released yet...

I was just reading that review on the phenoms vs core2's and was wondering if the 2T on the ram would still have a gib performance effect on AMD platforms.... I remember from DDR1 days that 2t on your ram with AMD would slow the shit outa your rig, intels didn't seem to mind that much....

I wonder if this is true with the new chips???

I also noticed that the ram on the AMD rig was 50mhz slower and also had more relaxed timings... this could equate to a couple of FPS.... correct??


either way, I think AMD has their work cut out for them because those Core 2 cpus are friggin amazing in every sense of the word... No one can deny that. I would be stoked to see phenom come out and be even just as good as intels offerings...

A vcore of .96 looks promising, not sure if that site has any merit or not though...

Guess we will just have to wait for the next few weeks...

Who is getting one on release day??? I see a lot of dreamers but thats it

 

[mandelore]

Well.. for those who have already purchased their phenom rig, we is no dreamers

Im waiting till january tho for the actual phenom cpu coz im after a higher clocked core, so an X2 will do for now.

I believe on decent ddr2, you can still get away with T1, as I know on my current DDR1 600MHz T2 gets pwned by my normal setup of 600MHz T1, even tho its rated for the T2 command timing.

My plan is to get my new mobo setup, already got the ram. then test the ram as far as I can take it, work out any bugs etc. get the best overclock with it, so that by the time I get the phenom Ill have my mobo figured out and my ram tweaked nicely. Obviously the overclock will be diff with the Phenom but at least ill have had a headstart getting the ram optomised etc.

oh, and I still needs tos ell my current rig

I'd love to see how the phenoms perform!

AM2 doesn't see the major performance impact that 939 did when running at 2T. I presume Phenom will be no different.

that shows how good the K8 architecture is

 

[Tomcat81970]

i just bought a Phenom 9500, MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+, G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) 5-5-5-15, and a Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA with perpendicular recording. It was 600$ish because my friends are buying my current mobo/cpu/ram for 120$

I might move to a black edition Phenom early next/mid year for a better oc if i cant get a nice one out of this one...

hopefully i can get a nice oc with my Thermalright XP90c, if not then i make the move to water coolin!

its computer makeover time

i put in 2 day shipping, so hopefully i will have it by saturday (thursday = thanksgiving, fri=1 sat=2, lan party sunday)

lan party = show off over my friend's stock c2d E6400 (he has been ripping on all of my other friends for haveing worse computer than him because he is a HUGE intel fanboy and we are all amd.

Im going to completely repaint my case and put a protective clear coat to protect the black, then im going to polish up the heatsink real nice... also clean out all the dust bunnies man can those things multiply!

so can i be in the Phenom club, please

This is why I haven't upgraded from s939 yet. My rig is just as good as any AM2 system that I've seen... as long as the proc. is under 3.3ghz. Damn this new PSU is awesome!

 

[erocker]

I can't wait to join this cult! er.. club! I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm waiting till January to pick out my Phenom. By then, hopefully we can see some 3.2ghz+ frequencies out of them. Man, I wish I could just fast forward a year when these chips will really shine!

 

[hat]

I wish I could fast forward a little over a month when I will have a Corsair 450VX in my case and can start clocking properly...
