The AMD Phenom II OC'ers Club - Page 2

kenkickr · Jan 2, 2009, 03:25 PM

Since Asus released a bios update that has PhenomII support for the M3A32-MVP I might just stick with it so we can know how they do with the old SB600 and no AOC.

Darknova · Jan 2, 2009, 03:27 PM

I'm waiting for the X3s. Looking to get a 710 (2.6Ghz), or a 720 if I can afford it. I'm looking to change board as well though, probably grab the Foxconn AD7A 790GX board. Not liking the Biostar too much, too picky.

ShadowFold · Jan 2, 2009, 03:27 PM

I have a small understanding of what ACC is and I don't think enthusiasts like us would ever utilize it. I think what it does is clock up your CPU when you use Fusion or AOD.

Go DFI 790GX, I am loving mine! Stable and a good OC'er.

Thats exactly what it is shadow, ACC basically does the overclock for you. It handles all the settings.

Just noticed the name of your system Shadowfold..Love it!

I'm guessing March-April when AM3 CPU's start showing up. Maybe February, not sure.

hmm could have sworn those come out later in the year.

ShadowFold · Jan 2, 2009, 03:33 PM

Why would they release CPU's with no real mobo support, that's silly

In lieu of buying a new monitor I think I am gonna wait on Phenom II until they get cheap. Plus my bday is in May so I will definitely get one then. Hopefully they will be 200-250$ because I don't think I can muster up anymore than that.

cdawall · Jan 2, 2009, 03:41 PM

i'll join P2 BE and a Asus crosshair II formula (this makes me the only none AMD chipset mobo here)

940/920 don't do DDR3

Steevo · Jan 2, 2009, 04:19 PM

940

I wil sell my 9850 to my parents possibly, they want a new system and a barebones Asus system that supports a my phenom, 4Gb RAM, and has the HD3200 chipset and associated crap can be had for $400 at the egg. With ACC I might be able to push this chip up to a much better OC on the board included.

Correct. However, the 945BE offers both AM2+ and AM3 support.

. Certainly makes it a better value for those who hold out.

When you say special I imagine a guy on a short bus delivering it

Assassin48 · Jan 8, 2009, 05:53 AM

You could add me to the list
As soon as i see one i am buying it
940 BE
Foxconn A79A-S
8gb ram

Akira_pito · Jan 8, 2009, 07:18 AM

Hey Guys, what the different between 790GX & 790 FX Chip set ?

Which One is the best ?

Assassin48 · Jan 8, 2009, 07:25 AM

i think the gx have onboard graphics and the others dont
like
GX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...xconn%20A7DA-S

FX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186149

Akira_pito · Jan 8, 2009, 07:34 AM

Well i think Foxconn A79A-S AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard is better then Foxconn A7DA-S AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Don't U think so ?

I prefer AOD Extreme unlike the other one. It OC config is great

ShadowFold · Jan 8, 2009, 08:04 AM

Well for one I wouldn't get Foxconn. I would go with DFI or ASUS if you're gonna be overclocking. 790GX is just a 790FX with onboard video and is a little weaker but I would rather have a good 790GX because they are cheaper.
