just ordered one but its 243+7 dollar shipping so 250, not too bad.
:woot: waiting it to be in stock in Malaysia :rolleyes:
And you will play it with your Biostar TFORCE TF560 A2 ? How about a new board :DQuote:

Just ordered mine as well. Hope it plays nice with the vapo for testing.
heh, i just want it to be stable at 3.0ghz on air and im happy as can be =P. should have it on wednsday woot
Mine is on order also....
Ordered! :)
Same here. (Minutes after they became avaliable on Newegg.)Quote:

same here ordered in euroland for 185eur :) to run on my 790 board, now still waiting on some decent 780 board releases for my main rig....
Hopefully prices will go down to $200 or less....
$250 is way too much to pay for a 9850 IMO. I can't justify it when I can get a Q6600 for $199.

Ordered :)
Bought and now SHIPPED.
(So they say.)
I was kind of bummed; I ordered from Newegg on friday as soon as it was available. Due to that timing I kind of figured it wouldn't get shipped until monday and I'd get it Tuesday. (Since UPS doesn't deliver on saturday.)
Well apparently UPS does PICK up on saturday... especially for larger clients. (When I hit "order" it did say they'd try to ship on saturday 4/5... but I figured that was just the standard computer message.)
All day yesterday... my order status stayed at #3 ("your order will soon be processed.") Today: Status = #5. ("Shipped.")
JUBILATION. Although I don't have the official tracking number yet.
But there is a chance I could possibly get my stuff TOMORROW. Jubilation AND A-men.
(Where was that from... "Jubilation"... I think maybe a character in the game Baldur's Gate? Or was it Neverwinter Nights?)
Anyway it'll be AMD day all over the place.
Keithlm.......Are those the baby blue set of 2X2GB G-SKILLS? if so are there any issues Booting with 1066 divider set in Bios?
(Yes the baby blue.) I have no idea yet about 1066. I'll keep you posted. Some people seem to have great luck with these... but the main post I read was a K8 and overclocking. (This thread?) Nothing concrete yet about 1066. I might be in for a world of pain. (I would have got OCZ but Newegg was out.)Quote:

Anyway... if only UPS delivered on sunday. <sigh>
will price change again on Monday, 4/7? i thought amd was lowering price on Monday.
ORDERED!!!! ....And on the way:D
Odd. I tried that same kit and board combination, and got a C1. :(Quote:

Anyway... we'll see what happens tomorrow.
BTW: I declare this "PHENOM EVE." (At least in North America.)
It was the Night before Phenom and all through the house,
The AMD geeks were stirring, some using a mouse
Their thoughts were all filled with flashing LEDs
while visions of overclocks danced in their heads.
In the morning a sound they did hear...
it was a truck motor... a grinding... or a gear.
The UPS person they came to the door.
And said "Sir sign here for booty galore."
Keith ....entirely too much of that Fruit Cake they have been tossing over your way:D :rofl:

Its run across my mind some time ago about that...
Plus there are thousands here that read the postings at least once a day .Thier friends also read the post and when you think about it..We do influence something for buying Upgrades i must say..
AMD can make a come back ,,its thier time now i believe..
Note:when overclocking ,,
Sometimes one self needs to learn the hard way, before things get Easier or stable:ROTF: This also applies to AMD making a comeback.

Yep. On second thought, maybe mine was just flawed to begin with, it went 88 within a week. Still waiting for DFI, I'm going to be just staring down the new Phenom until it gets back.Quote:

If you folks wouldn't mind, take a photo or at least note the Stepping/Batch code before you install it and let us know what ya got. :D
You know what I mean, production week/mem controller. IE: 08xx xPMW...
I'm just curious to see if there is any relationship between production weeks and overclockability like there used to be with the X2's. Since it's such a huge die I get the feeling it might be even more luck of the draw than it used to be, but it would still be interesting info. ;)
C'mon Keith, it'll only take a couple seconds to write down 8 digits... :rofl:
As for XS selling alot of Phenoms, I think that is VERY true! They should give us all trade up's from B2's to B3's for say..... $40.... :up:
Hey , Dave yah I will Record my Stepping for the Log and I think that we should all be really adamant about doing that and that means one and all. AMD is most definitely:yepp: watching this forum closely and I think that has allot to do with going from B2 Loser - B3 Winner!
I give up.Quote:

(NOTE: I'm the one sitting in the chair. I'm sure you know what movie this is from?)
Well we finally got Em in Canada,although the price is a bit high about 260+
should go down a few bucks. Got an MSI K9A2 and Odin GT 800w standing by;)
Definitely take a picture of your Phenom (best way IMO) chances are you'd
want to know all the "numbers" (stepping/batch whatever:rolleyes: )yourself later on.Here is my 9600BE:)
for example.
Should I switch? I hear you can't get more than a 300MHz OC on these. Right now I'm running an X2 5000+ BE @ 3.4GHz. Would I see any improvement going with the X4?
nop!?Quote:

Depends on what you want it for I guess.If it ain't broken -don't break it, 5000BE is a fine chip.Quote:

This is the B3 revision, so they will probably oc more than 300mhz. Most sites got 2.9-3.1ghz out of it. The 9850BE is a quad-core while your 5000BE is only dual-core, so if you do a lot of video encoding and photo editing it's definitely worth the upgrade. But if you mainly just play games, most games doesn't use more than 2 cores right now, so it's probably not worth it to upgrade. Just wait for more games support to support quad core then upgrade to the 45nm version Phenom that's coming late this year.Quote:

good to hear, because thats what im replacing =P. My Phenom gets here tomorrow! wooot! =). im still debating wether or not i should buy a new HSF... i.e. the tuniq tower 120 or something. what temps should i be under and whatnot? what is a good temp for a 3.0ghz overclock? what is max temp before overheating on the 9850s?Quote:

yeah!!!! i got mine today as well.

i have the same stepping as you Gunter.
i did notice something different on the heat spreader (u can see it in Gunters photo above).... they have these edges on the corners. i wonder if that effects contact with the heatsink, or does it allow room for thermal paste?
Awesome man, post all of your results and we can compare... and as for those edges... im not to worried about it since i planned on lapping the crap out of the integrated heat spreader anyways :yepp: ... but when you run your fingernail over them, they deffinately feel a little raised... dunno, but i recommend lapping regardless. :)Quote:

Glad I got a week 10, but the BPAW is a little different that what I've seen so far... Hopefully that will be a good thing. :p:
As for those little flanges on the edges of the chip, my 96BE had them too.
Oh well, I'm off to install it and do a little testing... :up:
Well it appears that its Christmas on XS 2day:cool:
Well, granted this is a very preliminary report, but this thing won't even run Prime95 blend at stock settings for more than a few minutes!!
After a few crashes, I upped the Mem to 2.0v's (which is low spec). I have a pretty good feel as to how Phenoms work, and this doesn't look good at all. :(
I even flashed back a couple bios versions... No change.. :shrug:
Oh well, I'll play with it for a few days. If things don't get better I'd say that is definetly worthy of an RMA.
Looks like I may have gotten a Lump of Coal in my stocking Brother E. :down:
Thats ghetto Dave and sorry to hear that man!
I would say I hate you.Quote:

Hey... Want to see some 4800+ benchmarks?????
BTW: All joking aside. When it WAS running... anything I ran was INSTANT. I want that NOW. Interestingly... even with 4 Prime95 threads... I could still run stuff and it it seemed as fast as my current machine. OH MY SWEET MOTHERBOARD.... DADDY IS WAITING FOR YOU.

If you just raised the freq. to 3Ghz (all Volts at stock) it's highly unlikely IMC or any other part is gone.It might have happen only if your temps were skyrocketing to 100+ deg. Celsius.Quote:

If the memory does work then the only other thing I can think of is the memory controller dead
I was going to go Q6600, but my AMD fanboyism kicked in. Returned teh proc yesterday.
Stupid Intel manufacturing makes you have to cherry-pick processors for OC too much anyway.
Wiggy, put that 5000BE back in there an see if it still works...
I could be wrong, but I'd be willing to bet the Mobo PMW failed with the Phenom... BE's require alot of power, not sure the BioStar 770 can handle a Phenom...
Yah seriously doubt you killed the cpu . maybe but highly unlikely!
The TA770 can handle ALOT compared to other 770's it is the TF560 that has less Phase and only (4pin for CPU) that id worry about!.. Heatsinks on those FET's will help .I would only run 9850BE in a Mobo with 8pin/24pin...
Do a Cmos Clear maybe remove reinstall ram i bet it resets..Test one stick out at a time too...youd be suprized what little glitches Phenoms have besides the Mobo...Youve probally tried everything in the book...I do know The IMC can trigger errors/restarts even a locked PC/no bios boot...Running to High of MHZ with stock volts and then throw in a power dip from the good old Mobo/PSU and whamo
restart.
I hope your chips Ok....Worst case its probaly the L3 power phase on the 560...that will definatly affect the timing/ ram/ no boot Led on for Ram.

I'm the owner of that 790FX Phenom-killer. Took mine after a few hours, stuck in C1, tried Ballistix and TeamGroup. No other AM2 board to try the Phenom in, I'm going to try mounting my 5000+ soon to check. 2.0 volts on the memory, but the memory was very warm.Quote:

I'd recommend bios versions 130/307 or 331 on the DFI M2A and be carefull with those low IO accesing tools like Sandra/Speefan/Evereset. Best is to run only one of those at a time.
So, basically, low level I/O tools corrupt the BIOS, and when it corrupts, it breaks the CPU in the process. I just tried my 5000 BE though, and the board shifted into 88 code. Back it goes, and I'm gonna try to get rid of the thing permanently.Quote:

Any ideas on what would be the best board for a 9850 Black Edition? DFI is not the answer, although it seems like a lot of the 9850 owners have them.

until a week or so ago;) :cool: :yepp: So I picked one up.
Plus (a big one:D ) thats what KTE is using;) and he's like a walking Phenom database,one of a kind too
Had the CPU in the fridge at ~-15° tried to mount em as quick as possible just placed the HSF on em, but it did not work.Quote:
