1. Doesn't show what kind of cooling it has. Could be air like he says.. Could be LN2.
2. Overclocking in windows? Are you kidding me?
3. It's unstable as shit. Notice when he starts up the computer windows is asking him if he wants to boot into safe mode? Why is that. Because it's crashing
4. 2 core overclocking? Who cares

you are a fool
your point about 3 is the same as what i do, I never shut windows down and it says "safe mode" and shit, you are an intel fanboy and worried that AMD may take back the performance crown
he uses windows because it easier, notice how cpu-z reflects this doesn't matter the CPU clocks higher and is faster (by a margin) than the 2600k

Why do company's produce different stepping processors? To fix issues with a prior stepping. Want an Example?

Phenom II X4 955 C2 :

Had issues going over 3.6Ghz, Memory Controller hated anything over 1333

Phenom II X4 955 C3 :

Over 4Ghz without much issue, Much better memory performance with 1600

Amd had to revise the processor because it was having issues.

Well at least they are doing that while the CPU isn't being SOLD!!!

You know how pissed I was getting a B2 9950 when the B3 9950 came out the day after I was like Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

But, then I upgraded to the C3 965BE and everything was alleviated after 1 year of living with a overheating cpu

:laugh:

I've had both intel and Amd so im no fanboy

You're still a fanboy...You never owned VIA

Which of course BEATS Intel and AMD

I'm joking ofcourse lol

I had an X3 Toilman that overclocked like mad on water. Still miss that processor. I was happy with my Amd rig till i saw that Fry's had a special on a P45 UD3 and an E8500 combo so i sold my X3 and went Intel and holy shit did that processor kick fucking ass. 4.8Ghz on water was amazing back in 08.

I'm not going to provide any sources:

Get the lowest TDP model @ release of the FX 8-Cores

Plug it into a Crosshair V Formula or wait for the Crosshair V Extreme

Now get a PSU that has 2 8pin EPS preferable 1200 Watts+with atleast 100+ Amps on a single 12 volt line

Now get the Corsair H100, get 4 fans with pretty extreme static pressure for 120x120x25mm

Set FSB/PEG/whatever from 200 to 300
Turn off CNQ/Turbocore/other features that throttle
Set Multiplier from stock to 20x to 21.5x
Enjoy 6.45GHz

450-500 Watts Power Consumption



Now take this with a grain of salt though but it is completely feasible

Early September NDA ends, so we will find out if it can do it on high-end air or AIO Water Coolers or custom rigs

Dear lord how are you not an overclocking champ.

I'd stick my whole comp in the snow and freeze my ass just to see those clocks rise.

Ahh some light at the end of the tunnel,I dont think its impossible despite being unlikely, you m(well your misses) may regret that :laugh::D

tho prob not:p

does anyone have the slightest clue about bulldozer/990x chipset compatabillity with pciex 3??

as pciex3 mobos are starting to get mentioned and this might further delay my concern with BD ie might wait even longer then release etc.:confused:

Looks like even Intel is having some problems getting on the PCIe 3.0 bandwagon. In order to get the x79 chipset out this year, they might have to compromise on that feature. But, there's still motherboard manufacturers adding that functionality themselves, like AsRock.

But I must say, who cares about PCIe 3.0 right now, anyway?

people who plan on using their next pc for 3 years plus, may need pciex 3 by the end of its life,though i agree their will still be pciex 2 cards then, they will no longer be the fastest and for example my x38 mobo can still do more with a new gpu(hence prolonged life) itll have recent gpus folding in it till it dies

Ah, jail bait. Young enough to be my own kid. But I would be a jackass in Canada...oh well. I think my wife's more interested in the pics than I am, anyway.


I find it interesting how the title of this thread has "revealed" in quotes.

So, uh, this is more AMD BS?

Yeah us jackasses that live in Canada dont need to place a rad in the window, we just need to open the window :rolleyes:

but today can be a challenge, 32c atm

I believe so. If you want some real FUD though, translate this article and read about how Intel confirmed that Bulldozer would be released 60-90 days from computex. :roll:

On an AMD forum no less.

http://www.amdforum.se/artikel/oforandrat-lanseringsdatum-for-bulldozer-1108/

I don't get it. Google translate is not doing a good job to begin with, so understanding anything is difficult. Anyway I cannot see what's the relation between what's posted there and Intel. Intel is not mentioned at all. :confused:

EDIT: Nevermind. The autodetect language failed and told me to use norwegian in the first place, it seems it swedish... Aaannd LOL! Hahaha. Intel appears out of nowhere then. I guess the original article says "intel" as in saying "sources".

EDIT2: And no. It seems that google translates AMD as Intel, when the source is swedish at least, no matter the target language. :laugh:

AMD is mentioned in the article as well though. How do you translate? I just let the site load until the translate page bar comes up on top.

I just go to http://translate.google.es/?hl=es&tab=wT and enter the text, select language (usually the suggested one) and go.

Yeah, that's the funny thing. In the original article AMD is mentioned throughout the article, but in the last paragraph I don't know what it says before being translated, but no matter which target language I select, from the ones that I can understand (spanish, english, french, portuguese, italian, basque/euskera) all of them replace AMD by Intel in that last paragraph. :laugh:
