these also might be good replacement for those who disable their cores for certain benches(SuperPi)?
this way they wont die like many gulfies tend to do when manually disabling cores:D
unless they die with one core disabled?

Its cool but has limited uses. Defiantly not for the common user.
So how much are they? :)
And where can I buy one? :D
Nice clock speed on those things :D
I'm sorry that may not and probably wasn't you. There was a thread here with a handful of benches of a few games where overclocking did not make a difference at all. The general conciseness of most of the posters was along the lines of "We already knew that overclocking is meaningless for a gaming rig". I'm not even going to attempt to search gaming and overclocking here to find it. There is a good chance that you had never posted in the thread and I apologize.Quote:

Sc2 def loves CPU clocks though, oh yes... :D
Overclocked SandyB would be still faster? :confused:Quote:

These wont work in an SR-2 anyways, they dont have dual QPI buses.
Likely. But full of DRM crap.:down:Quote:

guess I should have looked closer, my bad.
These might be useless for SR2 yes, but on my Tyan S7025 (similar board to SR2 but no OC option) two of these would make be the ultimate option for gaming.
I'm assuming there's no practical advantage having more than four cores in gaming use.
There's no mention of Turbo clocks and the the 1066 MHz DDR3 speed is a bit of a letdown though.
Any mention of pricing?
no... you're missing the point a little... SB would be much better than 2 of theese cpus.
So if you want them for gaming, sell your SR2, Tyan S7025 or whatever and get SB instead! Buying 2 of theese cpus for gaming is just silly.
Do you claim that any single SB would match it in workloads that don't scale to more than 4 threads?Quote:
