Has anyone seen or heard anything about these new chips being cold bugged?
Very good question my friend!
Cold bugs.
My works nightmare.
This would be very interesting to find out. :)
lol what forum is this on?
I have not heard of any early release chips testing the phenom out yet so i dont think anyone knows at this point....
HAha i think i'm lost Big S!
It will be interesting to see if these chips are pushable... if it turns out they are bugged, it's not good news for AMD... and bad news is the last thing they need now.
Anyone fancy sending me a Phenom and a board and i'll Dice test it?:p:
Hey...cant hurt to ask! :D
Yeah you can send me some free gear too :D
I'll find out tonight down to -20ish hopefully, Unless I can get some DICE tonight.
Thank you sir!
i would like to see a max stable overclock,weird me. i actually wanna game on it 24\7 if its worthy over new penryn.who cares if it can hit 5 ghz on dice worthless to me if it cant do atleast 3.5-3.7 stable on chilled water\phase to run crysis etc...
Railmeat: Not touching it with DICE till found stable Air and water clocks :)
just confirmed Dice is available tonight though, sweet.
God I hope it's not too bad, be nice for a change.
Thanks... Good Luck ;)
sweet dude! i got a water chiller in the works and would love to see how well these suckers clock!
i heard 3.0Ghz on air from reviewers

Actually from a review I read they said 2.6 max bench stable on air, 2.7 on water... :( (Here's the review)Quote:

Curious...
i'm hoping my SS would be perfect for these quad-cores, runs my XP-M using 2v at -38 load, would think those quads might put off a bit more heat
not to mention being able to adjust northbridge voltage, might help too
few more months though, DFI 790FX, hopefully B3 revision unlocked Phenom, and will have to keep my eye on those Radeon X2's.....
need a better controller for my SS, (what'cha got for me Jinu)
but then a dual-cpu 790FX based system with chilled water sounds very fun too
Bump?
I heard -18 stops it ?
I'll probably be getting myself an MSI K9A2 Platinum, and drop in a B3 Phenom when they're available.
I have the money to get me a crossfired 3870 setup. I can compare that to the 8800 GT I ordered, if I end up getting it (still waiting on it after three weeks)
You can't resist TEH DARK SIDE :lsfight: :D :DQuote:

how much below that tho?
the entire mem controler/xmb/htt/nb area has been worked on, so im guessign there is some hope, as this is what was failing on K8.
Well... It's been one week, any results???Quote:

I was expecting @ the time to be able to go crazy on the HTT @ a lower multi, but not so.
Bump. Any word yet?
Yup... And guess what? It's not looking good one more time :(Quote:
