The teasing is over - Phenom II 940 Air, DICE, LN2 - OC round up!

Very nice Sof...thanks for the effort...nice results...

Hmm seems PH2 doesnt benifit to much from DI over a good old mach 2, the mach 2 unit they had at the boston event was pulling 4.8g as well.

Guess i will have to find a source for ln2.

WOW great info here and excellent review and results thank you for the effort for us all.

Thanks for your time :up: you did a great job answering a lot of questions just with your OP. Glad to see that phII is truely a performer

Add myself to the list of apreciating posters. :)

Great effort, and such a "good boy" waiting until NDA. :up:

PHII looks a great "tool" for some serious fun benching.

Have been a little while for the "green ones".

A great return!

My hat is off to AMD. Well done!

I might switch to a 780a then.

hoping back over to nv dosen't seem to bad now.

I just hope the 285 has hybird SLI support, like the 280 GTX dose.

Thanks for all your hard work SoF.... :clap:

I've been waiting to see your numbers, and I'm not disappointed. :up:

im glad i didnt pull the trigger on that 9950 whew

nice work SoF:up:

Good to see AMD in the right direction again, behind intel again, but i think next round AMD will be in good shapre.

still doesn't beat intel's chips but a damn good chip none the less mine will be in my hands on a crosshair II as son as released

Niiiiice!!!!!!!

oh man
i cant see any screenshots :(

Thanks for the Professional review SoF and team.

4GHz under a Scythe Mugen... looks promising! Depending on the prices, this could be my next chip!

Very nice but why did you put "Foxconn A79A-S nForce 790FX" Nforce?

Can't wait to get my hands on Phenom II 940/945
Nice test :clap:

yeah the difference between single stage and DICE might be not that big. When you really want to go for some good numbers you definitly need LN2.

see reply to dinos pls.

THANKS ALL TOGETHER AGAIN ! :toast:

@Throwed Well I have no vantage version with seeing scores offline...test rig is not online so --> no Vantage, even I would like to ;)

This is a great topic for all OCers.
But can someone explain, why with this new CPU the ACC is no longer needed?
This means that mobo's with SB750 doesn't worth anything more than SB600 mobo's?

SB600 still has questionably I/O performance.
