It might seem like a knee-jerk reaction to the uninitiated, but probably a lot of us are tired of the Intel vs. AMD comparison. Especially when no useful information is ever derived from it. I came here to check out Tony's excellent progress, and see how this chip performs.... in whatever way he chooses to present it. And I wouldn't want to see a scintilla of otherwise rare real-world information obscured by wagging e-penises, no matter how small.

No, Just want people to understand that being a fanboy of any brand is not rational.. All of these companies have had their time at the top with great products.. It goes back and forth..Quote:

Tony: Good to see higer clocks on Phenom, both on NB and the CPU itself! Also BIG thanks for trying to figure the 1066 divier out! ( I know ALOT of people is trying to figure this out on the forums and this goes for you to, THANKS!) I see on youre screens that you run around 500mhz 5-5-5-X timings right? Does youre CPU have problems running high CL4 or CL3 clocks?
@BadNizze ....hey a little of Phenom topic but how are those new Opteron Chips?
L3 clocks in sync with nb yes. Amd offers independent core clocking to.Quote:

3 the bios will go into 1066 mode, this means lowest timings may be X-5-5-15 for primaries with tCAS unaffected for some reason.
4 Subs change also, the max available to set will rise, the min settings rise also.
5 tRFC is unaffected by 1066 or sub 1066 mode and should be set by SPD unless you force it.
6 I have a feeling HTT clocking is more limited in 1066 mode, BUT the cpu is just as fast with multi OC instead of HTT bus tweaks.
Regards cas4 thats more dram IC than CPU I think, for the benches above i did not try cas4 but I will have a play over the weekend possibly and see how it goes. I was hitting 4000MB/s in memtest unganged which is pretty good so I have a feeling running cas5 over 4 was not holding me back very much ;)
Hahah:D Thanks Marvin but to be truthful I just got this thing a week ago and prior to getting it I had not read up on the Phenom Architecture and Overclocking of it either for that matter (no need to until now) so to break it down into a short answer......I did not have one to give him:yepp: Much for me to learn about how these Phenom CPU's work but it wont take long just have to get rid of the K8 Clocking process in my head and move on with the new:up:Quote:

look at this.. at the moment i dont know whether this is real or a bug..
lol, was a bug... link deleted... ;)
I was actually peeking in your Windows Vista®. :) Though you'd be surprised just how many are peering in here too.Quote:

Trying to clear up the mis/disinformation has been a huge start, and this thread could only help add some positive perception AMD's way. Maybe AMD isn't on top at the moment, but the current overall picture is far better than some make it appear.
When you have some time, no rush, can you please run some short multi threaded tests with:
http://cpu.rightmark.org/download/rmma38bin.rar
Just want to see if the RAM (@ 1066) scales with Mhz on the CPU. Thanks in advance.:clap: :up:
:toast: Great job Tony!
I'm asking you a favor. There are a lot of speculations on many forums about the impact of the NB & L3 speed on the overall performance. Since nobody has a "golden" sample like your sample, I'm asking you to do some benchmarks at 3GHz and different NB & L3 speeds. Let's make a comparison between 2GHz and 2.4GHz NB & L3 and the cores running at 3GHz. Choose few multi-threaded and single-threaded apps and show us some numbers. :) Also it would be nice if you can set the DDR2 clocks around 1066 and CL5. Is this so much to ask? :D
Thank you
I would be interested in this as well Tony and good idea dude above:up:
pick the apps, as long as they are free and work in vista 64bit i will run them
not a mainstream bench but i would love to see thisQuote:

Anyone else have a 9850 or 9550 in the mail?
Just been Googling how popular this thread is, seems a few are thinking I have been running massive voltages into the Phenom....sorry guys 1.5V max here for the 3.5GHZ and everything else between 1.3 and 1.45V ;) Default is 1.3V.
seems cpu-z etc has been reading a little high.
the level of trust is some apps just amazes me...
Also the GBT was undervolting a little measuring on the board, the DFI was quite close
so VID reporting may be wrong also if the boards drooping a little etc.
Photoshop(if u have), HD encoding DivX, WinRAR, SuperPi 1M & 8M, 3D Mark 2001 & 2006 CPU test only
if possible could you run vid stress test on css? i mean, if possible.... thanx alot bro ;)
super pi...man i said like 10 times i won't be running it :shrug:Quote:

CS2/3...is that free..i think not ;)
DivX...i could re encode a tv cap here from mpg.
Just ordered a 9850 from NewEgg. $239.
winrar is MT to I can use that.
Anything else
i dunno i will give you my user name and password and you can get it from steam... i mean, i trust you tony :)
