thx for posting
if it holds up sub 1.4v and play 4g bench ... seems quite okay huh? , would be interesting to see this under cold.

yessir its a phenom 945BE ES chip i have pics of it at home just ended up at work 30min after it came in the mail
and this is only on a Crosshair II formula unluckily i didnt get an AM3 mobo with it

you make me wanna have one soooo badly :D

i am at 1.6v right now i just set the volts high to make sure stability like the title said i have had it a whole 10min then went to work
i will also post pics of the cooling when i get home but its just under my standard water cooled loop
-
Was it actually at 1.375 volts?
or is it reading it wrong?
-
thanks for information sir
keep pushing it

Well I guess it answers if AM3s will work on AM2 mobos for sure. I'm surprised they arent sending out official chips yet. So how is this chip different than a 940?

ddr2 & ddr3 mem controller - less pins

can you say the stepping? i am curious.

how about i post a pic of the chip for you?

CO stepping i'd guess is at least as old as week 43.

yea its a pretty old chip. it does have 938 pins right? i see it is listed as am2+. im wondering if cpuz will read am3 cpus as am2+ ones when they are in am2+ boards. the memory controller revision is what im also curious about. i see you have a CO when i believe CV is the most current one out there. interesting to see that you can get 4ghz on 1.375V. im assuming that 1.35V is stock for that chip. thanks for the results i hope to see more soon. but the 945 is so far away. :(

I can't wait to see the performance differences between this and the AM2 versions.
Also... does this mean the chips will all be this good in the OC dept?
If so, I can see AMD closing the gap yet a little more on the i7's but then again... will the DD3 cost differences pee on AMD's price advantages?
Anyways, I look forward to seeing more volts and(hopfully) higher clocks too :)

yes and this was at pretty high volts cpuz doesn't read them correctly

ddr3 should become cheaper soon and with am3 working both ways it should be fine. it really depends on the platform. if they can create good cheap motherboards that give a good performance bonus from ddr3 then it should be nice. if not then i don't see ddr3 being anything special but just moving along in technology and getting off the obsolete ram.

Wait, NB @ 1.8?
So it reverts to 1.8 in a AM2 socket? Ouch.

maybe, its an old chip so it doesn't say too much. cpuz sees it as a am2+ chip. maybe when bios comes that fully supports am3 chips it could put the nb at 2ghz. just the chip is over half a year old with no bios support.

It's at 1.6v :D
