I'm disappointed in my phenom 9850 rotten 0812 week -_-

yes will take another week or so till it gets available, but since it isnt urgent really..
@ demonkey: mine does not want > 2,4ghz nb also, fine chip whatsoever as it does 3,2ghz stable under vista64 and i think it can do even more.. whats your max stable clock?
Well, added 3850.. 3DMark06 fails second test... I am going to run Phenom at 2.5ghz and see if it runs.. LOL.. you should here my system when 3dmark06 starts the first test my fans kick down and the LED's dim.. I have only next PSU down is a 300w and I do not have enough adapters for the cards...I will post my score at 2.5ghz Phenom and stock GPU settings...
Well, OK, Phenom all stock, 3870 stock, 3870 stock, 3850 stock, AOD shows only one PCI-e slot occupied..I guess this is normal since they are X-Fired??.. ANd this what I get when I run 3DMark06

well here is my score.. it finally ran and it sucks butt.. tho my CPU score is nice for all stock setting on the 9850..

autsch that sounds no good with that psu ;)
Well both the 3850 and 3870 sold. I ordered 2 4850's.. I have a Gigabyte with SB750 coming and hope to turn a good number in both vantage and 3dmark...we'll see.. Right now I have one 3870..my score was like 2000 pints lower then when I had both 3870's...so I won't post it LOL...
I want to try two ageia physic card PCI versions. see what happens on vantage. lol
I would love to also get 4 sapphire toxic 1gb gddr4 3870 with it. it would probably be the only crossfire X phenom score.
no a side note....
I been looking at the pics of the 4870 those look to have similar bolt pattern to the 2900 Xt.
wonder if one these would ever fit http://www.aerocooler.com/shop.cart?..._id=FANTTW0150
It looks to me like you are running xp, crossfirex only works with vista. That would explain the lower score ;)Quote:

http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-05...I2900XT-15.JPG 2900 XT stock cooler look at the screw hole they all look the same
i Know the CENTER is the same Hole patern and width/lenth..the rest of heatsink looks to have holes for screws in all the right places..
I am using a Swiftech/ MCW60 which is for 1900xt,,which also fits 2900XT 3800/4800 series Chillin on my 4850 ... Perfect fit:up:
Ill have a mild Oc score coming soon.
UPDATE............UPDATE...............Using CCC only to OC.....4850
SINGLE 4850 RESULTS........Little hard to OC lots of bugs with CCC. Quik bench run @700mhz ,, This thing scales exactly like its big brother even with DDR3:D
BEFORE.........................Stock Cooler 13131...........
After.........Mcw60 and Ram on Airsinks 14447...........

looking for more..AMDgpuTool and CCC dont play nice and i dont use BIOS Flashes unless i have too ..No Vmods either...So far this is where i stand.

wohooo!!! i´m still in the list ;)
the only dualcore..
guess i have to get myself a phenom and two hd4870´s soon. hope the sb750 boards are coming soon.
SB750's are here...Mine comes in tomorrow...I'm putting 2 4850's on it with my water cooled Phenom 9850 YeHaaaa
nice job ppl i like what im seeing but who 's gonna break 18k:ROTF: but any ways im torn between getting 3 cheap 9800gtx to try and see if tri sli works on this board the right way or get a 4870x2:shrug: im trying to figure out which setup will get me the best score. my cpu score hovers around 5189 so what will get me the best sm2.0 and hdr/sm3.0????
Don't really know how good these are I'll let you decide:
EVGA
gx2 for 289 CAD

:DThe way the new 4850/4870 scale and with the likes of 4870x2 ..
:D20K should be the New High to hit with 3.4- 3.5ghz Phenoms using 4870 and 4870x2 :D..
Its funny how it takes some tweaking but with lower speeds than INTEL the AMD platforms just Play butter smooth compared to a Intel @ even 4ghz...
Speaking of tweaking,,
So after numerouse driver changes and disabling CCC overclocking and updating AMDGPU TOOL to work with out crashing and then renaming the DLL in 3dmark06 ( BlackscreenBug) im testing 800/1200:D I can go Higher but the Drivers will act up with AMDGPUtool + CCC on my system ( Unless i FLASHING A BIOS.)
OK my final run , this card is going in my DADS first HTPC so i dont want to MAX it:D

ATI 8.8beta 4800x2 driver...
NOTE:
8.7/8.7beta would not Oc worth beans on 4850 while using AMD GPU clocktool 9.8 and CCC,,Must have overclocking disabled in all CCC or it will set only max OC with a Sapphire 4850:yepp:
P.S MAX ,, maybe look into 790FX with new 750chipset? AMD/ATI combo seems to clock better ATM than AMD/Nvidia...Seems the 4800's scale better even with borked drivers
well new board, one 4850... one 4850 still not here yet.. I am almost ready...
