AMD Readies 16-core Processors with Full Uncore

No way. Over-tightening a cooler alone can cause LGA pins to bend.
My CPU cooler will not allow over tight (not that it could bend the pins). And it was quite cheap.

I think extreme violence would be required if that is possible, with my cooler. Just need to follow simple rules and it'll be fine.
 
I hate nothing. I am just telling My facts. And I didn't understand ~90% of what anyone said.


Because I am stupid and useless.

I've sorted that out for you :p
 
AMD did a great job with its kabini lineup, the A4-5000 is a good contender, 4 cores, Radeon GPU, 15watts
But that atom (8 cores!) looks nice on paper, I would like to try it out, seems a good one, but still at 20watts.

I found on amazon an ECS KBN motherboard with an A6-5200, quad core, Radeon GPU, 25watts.




get an intel...!! :lovetpu:

ive used atom in the past- felt sluggish and underpowered compared to a core 2 celeron

If you're using a cooler that just has the push pins, then there is a good bet you won't over tighten it. In fact I've run into issues with push pin coolers not being tight enough, but that's a different issue. A lot of sockets have adapters for coolers to be mounted by screwing it in. Some sockets like LGA2011 have screw holes built into the socket in the motherboard and screwing in a cooler is the only way to mount it. Sockets like 1150, 1155, 1156, and 775 just have holes. AMD sockets for a while (since skt939?) have a clip-and-lever system than can be removed to expose 4 holes for mounting coolers with screws or some other bracket.

I guess the real point I'm trying to make, is that it depends on the CPU and the cooler weather or not you can over-tighten it or exert enough force on the CPU to cause problems.

I saw that too. I read a review that said that you can only use a GPU on the PCI-E slot. I thought I remember reading a review saying that they couldn't get a RAID card to work on it and ECS replied saying that it was for GPUs only.
 
Maybe because it is isolated from everything. It makes sense.

No not really, we are closer to China then the USA but still we pay through the noes for everything including Computer parts, its just a joke here. Also we can easily self sustain this country but we dont and that will be our downfall.

Please, tell me the price of some computer hardware in Australia...

For example, one of these: R9-290X-ENFC, GV-N760OC-2GD, Core i5-3570K, Core i7-3770K. Or any other...
 
How's about you start your own thread in general nonsense
 
Thanks, now I'm very sad. Perhaps I shouldn't be here as everybody hates me.

I don't know what I am doing in this planet.

Sorry, this won't happen again. I'm very stupid (as always)...

Sure, these are prices from the place I buy most of my hardware from since there the cheapest. This is not RRP either. AUS Dollars.

290X = $650-$770 Depending on model/Brand

GTX 760 = $300 -$830 Depending on model/Brand ($830 is for the Mars) Otherwise a 2GB OC is around $330

GTX Titan = $1200+

i5-3570k = $275

i7-3770k = $395

Electricity = 32cents per kilowatt hour in AUS Compared to lets say Madisonville KY (where I stayed last yr) at 8c Per Kilowatt hour

Petrol/Gas Prices $1.60-$2.50per litre Depending where you live. For me around $1.70. Compare that to USA at around 0.85c Per litre or $3.25per gallon (3.8litres) ish. ($6.10 - $9.50 A gallon AUS $) Thats without converting our dollar to there's at 89c AUS to the USA Dollar. So add another 11% ontop of that, I cant be arsed to figure it out at the moment lol

On topic 16 cores on a single Die is pretty epic.
 
How do you aussies live? We americans moan and groan that the price is over $3 a gallon. My electricity is .0877kwh. I couldn't imagine.

Not so big a deal but there is a time and place is all .

We don't, we just exist to make the politicians richer lol. Wish I got paid $400.000 a yr even after I retire, that be sweet.

In terms of computer hardware, I think you are far from paying the highest prices in the world... one of the best prices in my country are as follow (USD):

i5-3570K: $294
i7-3770K: $420
GTX 760 = $392 (PNY 2GB, imagine others)
R9 290X = $960

But in energy and gas I have to agree, that's pretty high!

I agree computer prices here arnt to bad, some items are cheap and others are expensive, nvidia in general here are alot more expensive then AMD GPU's by a good $100 or more at times for the same performance.. Your pricing is about the same as it would be for the RRP (regular retail price) as you gotta add another $50 to each item (or there abouts). So the 3570k turns into a $325 CPU if you bought it at a normal computer store or electronics store (online is always cheaper) So the pricing turns out to be pretty close for the most part except for your R9 290X is an insane price!!

But we still pay more then the USA even though we are closer and have a better economy. Even when our dollar was worth more then the USA Dollar prices for computer parts where still higher, close but still higher -_-

Yeah our energy and gas prices are a complete joke and thats not including the insane cost to just have a car on the road here now. Cost about $1000 per car before you can even drive it out the gate and I only earn 20grand a yr lol

My electricity bill is for every 3 months (quarterly) Summer time I run a fridge, on average 2 computer system (turned off at night) Hot water system thats turned off completely as I save $100 on the bill from having it off and an AC unit that runs about 12hrs each day depending on the temp (sometime none at all like today). Microwave/toaster/jug that are used every now and again( once or twice a day) and my bill is around $530 for the three months. Winter time its closer to $750-800 for the three months. Heating is expensive as my parents pay over $1000 for the electricity bill during winter.
