mullered07, what ever happened to that guy?

He left after conning me out of a 4850 some years ago.

i used to be on a 4200+ and an Nvidia 8400

I have a x2 4200+ 939 pin right on my bookcase and it has a missing pin it was quite the upgrade for my back up pc when i decided to boost it a year or 2 ago but now im down to a 3500+ single core as the price of x2's is high for whatever reason that is unknown to me.

That pc is actually in my cousins house now but its been bsod but i know what the problem is.

seriously???

 

[MightyMission]

can you not solder on the missing pin or use tweezers and put the pin in the corresponding hole?
x2 939s are soooo much more expensive than am2/am3 duals!

Mine was the AM2 version, its what the 5450 is going to be paired with.

Dat true or you joking around?

The 939 pin x2 i have has 1 broken pin and i tried to use some tin foil from a kit kat to put into the socket which just didnt work. The pins gone as soon as it happened it went missing plus i cant solder something that size its to small and i may have soldered to other pins (bridging them).

I got my old X2 3800+ to 2.8GHz but could never hit 3.



I did have ever get it pretty cool...

only 2.5 out of my 4200+ (my board had no voltage control)

Seriously. It was £80 bank transfer so I had no way of getting it back. He did once upon a time IM me apologising and saying how sorry he was and how bad he felt.

But meh. I learnt my lesson and now only deal in paypal.

Continue your discussion of overclocking and what not.

i soldered up a 955 a couple of months ago,i had 5 pins to solder up and the worst two were the ones where the blank parts of the socket are,if that makes sense.
I tried on and off for weeks,then one night i couldnt sleep and got them all done in one go..

a fine point tip and magnifying glass helps a lot though.
i gave an old dead chip a haircut so i got plenty of spare pins if you want a couple to give soldering a shot.

Sorry i misread the missing pad bit!
have you had it under a magnifying glass? i had one pad i thought was gone,turned out it was there...just...so i tinned where it should be and it worked.!

was yours a manchester core or Toledo core? Im guessing Toledo if you managed to hit 2.8ghz. Only managed 2.66 on my X2 3800+

If i remember correctly for a lot of the x2s 2.8ghz was the overclocking wall. I also had an AM2 x2 5000BE which i can remember being 3.2ghz though i never remember the voltage but i bet i have a post on it somewhere on these forums.

 

[MightyMission]

oddly enough my 7550 athlon (am2 dual@2.4 i think) seemed much less laggy than my 945.

It was a Toledo. Best I ever got out of it was 2.85GHz but it wasn't truly stable. I'm planning on rebuilding that rig for my best mate (who is an IT ignoramus) as he constantly ruins the rigs his has. So, I think a suicide run is in order once it's up & running. Need to find the stock HSF though.

:/

Its dependant on the core really. the Ive seen a few X2 4800+'s hit 3Ghz with watercooling but that was because they were on the Toledo core -- the same cores used to make FX processors. Of course when AMD shifted away from socket 939 then X2 procesors could clock a little higher.

my 4200 was Brisbane so i think that adds another reason why it didn't o/c well

I blame AMD and their AM2 socket. it wasnt as great as they thought it would be

I have dust allergies that pc would kill me (not literally of course).
