8.2GHz AMD 3500+ !!!

[MaxxxRacer]

Some guy at my school told me he had a 8.2Ghz FX62 on watercooling. After laughing at him and telling him I'd bet every penny I'm worth that he is full of crap, he sent me a screen shot of the said FX62.


As you can see the screenshot is NOT of an FX62, but rather a 3500+, the intersting thing is that Windows seems to think this guys CPU is at 8.2GHz.

It doesnt appera to be a photochop, so I am wondering what kind of bug would cause windows to go so insane.

[X3non]

That could be easily made with paint.. :D

But could be also a typical bug of windows..

[v0dka]

What cooling?

j/k :D

[K404]

Did ya have to give him every penny ya have? :p:

[perry_78]

Haha, great shot. A friend tried to pass a screenshot with "overclockers.com" in the bottom left corner of a p4 on phase once as "his mothers pc". :D

He also has 4*512mb twinmos bh5 running 270 2-2-2-5 with 3.1v:wasntme: :rocker:

[TaPaKaH]

Can you run CPU-Z and do validation ?

[AsAsIn8eR]

Holly crap.I think it's fake.If that's real than conroe is so a gonner...

[K.I.T.T.]

Pppppfff even i can do that in paint :rolleyes:

Mines got double the cache, twice the cores and has more RAM...oh wait...i thought my mobo was limited to 4 GB?

[MaxxxRacer]

I sent the guy a link to CPUz and told him to take a screenie.

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

LOL, whats even worse then him trying to BS you is he is using kazaa. anyone who uses kazaa shouldnt be allowed to speak.

[dinges]

LOL, whats even worse then him trying to BS you is he is using kazaa. anyone who uses kazaa shouldnt be allowed to speak.

:with:

[Inteleron]

And he has no sign of any games on his desktop so why wuld he even bother oc'ing his cpu? not to mention him using kazaa, and hes using an Abit mobo which he is stupid enough to install the Nvidia firewall which kills your internet connection and blocks any program you might want to use.

[Marvin]

closed topic ?:D

[Mr. Popo]

My 19GHz FX-55 on air own this lamo 8GHz 3500... :ROTF:

[Freebo]

which he is stupid enough to install the Nvidia firewall which kills your internet connection and blocks any program you might want to use.

i installed it and i have the sli-d mobo which it came on a disc with it and they also kills all my progs and internet connection :( oh and the screenie is stupidly fake.. prolly a fault in xp or something.

edit: also mine is way better than that:

[Reinvented]

Without a doubt it's fake. 4.0GB's of RAM...oh please...no one has successfully registered ALL 4 GB's of RAM in Win32. Gotten close, but still not there!

My bet is a bios problem.

[afireinside]

Why are people trying to believe/disprove this when maxxx him self said it was fake in the first post?

[K.I.T.T.]

he said it was a bug. I believe it was photochopped :)

[Jochenp]

The two screenshots show your (probably legally acquired) windows xp registration key.
If you don't wan't it to get a new life on www.thebugs.ws I would edit those images :p:

great...

you---> :stick: <---me

:p:

[MaxxxRacer]

The reason that I think its a bug and not a photochop is because the guy believed that his CPU was at 8.2ghz with so much vigor that it lead me to believe that he really did think he was at 8.2Ghz and not his actual speed.

[Jochenp]

great...

you---> :stick: <---me

:p:
Hehe:D
It always suprises me how slacky people are with these things. (also, leaving *cough* warez *couh* on their desktop when taking screenshots and the like :D)

[largon]

And he has no sign of any games on his desktop so why wuld he even bother oc'ing his cpu?Well excuse me, but I do keep my system OC'ed, don't have any games on my desktop and have had only 2 games (FEAR and HL2) installed within the ~8months this WinXP installation has been online.
:p:

[couppi]

My desktop has nothing on it, but that doesn't stop me from ocing...

[Grinch]

photochop or bug?

http://s2.supload.com/thumbs/default/spoof.bmp (http://s2.supload.com/free/spoof.bmp/view/)

[Absolute_0]

I think it's a bug, should say 2.81 Ghz but shows 8.21 Ghz ;)

[MaxxxRacer]

2.81 on a watercooled 3500+ is pretty sweet... unlikely considering the guy seems a little dim.

Photochopped. For sure. I can see where you messed up on overlapping the numbers. :) There's a huge mark on there. Nice try though!

[Absolute_0]

Hmm? I thought he had an FX62, should would be 2.8 Ghz and a lot of the time 2.81 Ghz is what shows up.

[dnottis]

Where is his CPU-Z shot? I would have to reserve judgement on him till then I guess. Let's see a verified shot of that.

Of course it's some sort of bug - maybe some pirated version of Windows XP that has been hacked together.

[SepheronX]

this is extremely funny. Its either Photochopped or bug, no way he can have that. Tell him to benchmark ;)

CPU-Z can also get bugged:

MSI Powah! :D Usually CPUID removes the obviously BS ones after a bit, did they miss this one?

Hmm.. anyway, I'm waiting for a CPU-Z screenshot from this fool too..

Not true - s7e9h3n you are the man and get the best CPUs, hehe. Don't be so modest!! :D

LOL...ok, I admit it...that was my opty on water...I thought it would be TOO unbelievable if I had run it on my autocascade :p:

That was supposed to be NDA, but Max decided to show it anyway :rolleyes: :D I think it's time to bring out the 10ghz sempron 754.......on stock cooling

[5-Clicks]

I remember that. Asus A8N's had a BIOS bug that CPUz read from, thus reporting 7ghz on a 3000 venice.

[MaxxxRacer]

I'm still awwaiting thes CPUZ screenie. if for some reason CPUZ is also buggered I will have him run super Pi 1M. if he doesnt get ~12 seconds I think its safe to assume his OS is buggered :lol:

[NickS]

Make sure you say something like, "40s 1M would be like a WR!" so he won't edit it making it better.

Nick

[[XC] leviathan18]

that is why we have the validation checksum

[AsAsIn8eR]

LOL! This is so funny.I once had a CPU-Z bug that said my 754 was running dual-channel.I was so excited.I thought I had dual-channel somehow.After I rebooted back to single channel.But the best part I think it's the part when someone unlocks the multiplier by accident.Why can't that happen to me?

[Fixxxer]

I am wondering what kind of bug would cause windows to go so insane.

Maybe the wallpaper :D

[dng29]

just want to chime in here a little bit. i went to a recent amd/ms tech tour. spoke to an amd engineer. told him that my firm was interested in testing amd cpu and that we're using blades with intel inside, but kept having problems. also told him we're testing grid. i also made a point about our energy efficiency initiative. long story short, he hooked me up with an am2 on 65nm for testing. i'm loving this cpu and it's ocing quite well. the future is looking ever brighter for amd. i see that some big investment firms are upgrading intel to a "buy" status. i feel sorry for the people who will put their hard earned money into intel stocks. i was very enticed by conroe, but i can't be persuaded.

[Jochenp]

Thats not the cd key..... lol... you can't use that number for anything
Isn't it?
Lol you :fact: 'ed me bigtime :D
Goddarn:D

[phelonius]

so what, my dad works at microsoft and gave me a 10 ghz 32nm socket f cpu with 10gb L4 cache!
get a life and stop telling stories or givus some pics:slapass:

i didn't mean to troll by my post, but if that's how you interpret it, than you're a bigger troll than me sir. who gives a :banana::banana::banana::banana: if your dad works for MS. my post was mean to be informative and to show how amd treats their customers.

You didn't provide any information. You said
i'm loving this cpu and it's ocing quite well. the future is looking ever brighter for amd., and offered no proof, pics, or anything?

[dng29]

You didn't provide any information. You said , and offered no proof, pics, or anything?

i respect amd enough to not disclose information in public, especially on the web. now some of and if not, all of you will immediately say that i'm full of s*it, then so be it. flame me if you want, but i will not dwell on this. thanks.

I don't believe you :p:.

I thought you were all a little more informed of those things, don't you know if you use Angelina Jolie as your desktop it sends your computer nuts.

iirc those nos. are derived from the CD Key & there is a utility that can do the reverse ...
