If we're lucky, they'll release a similar chip rebranded as an Athlon X2 like they did with the Athlon X2 5000+ :P

Now that the 6-core phenom II's are out, it's time to start looking for chips that have 6 unlockable cores :D

I have 3 x DIMM. When I tested it and it posted it was with 1 x DIMM.

I ended up having to drop fsb to 260 (with the 3x dimm, i'm leaving it like that because I need 3 GB of ram) since it wasn't...

I'm hitting a wall with my fsb at 270.

I set the ram multiplier to 2.00x, and all voltages are at default, and HT link width and frequency are on auto.

If I raise fsb to 275, it won't post....

I set ACC to auto and to all cores, and CPUz is still saying only 2 cores and no L3. It still boots and all though

CACVC AC 0932FPCW

Any advice?

UPDATE: apparently I disabled ACC on...

FINALLY was able to pick up my parts. Put the system together in less than 2 hours, tried powering it up and it all looks good!

Now I'm trying to install windows 7...which is an awfully slow...

I guess I'll buy ram when I can afford it (first week of february) if I can't use all the ram I have.

Any recommendations? There's deals on 4GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 and 4GB Patriot Viper 1066...

darn...I think that would be expensive since it's corsair dominator. The only reason I got this stick is because i took a gamble on an eBay auction selling untested ram, and the stick happened to...

hm, then I guess I'll want to buy another 2GB stick so I can have 2x2GB for 4 GB.

The sticks should probably be similar right? The one I have is DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15, 2.1V. Any suggestions?

So, am I okay to use 1 stick of 2GB 1066 and 2 sticks of 1 GB 667? I knew that all the ram clocks get dropped to 667. That doesn't really bother me.

Does, however, me having ram running at 667mhz...

Windows 7 x64

Someone told me that the HP ram would easily hit 400mhz if vdimm was raised to 2.0...I'm not sure what that means exactly, but does that relate to the FSB of the motherboard?

So,...

Hopefully the Gigabyte US2H isn't a low end chipset (AMD 785G/SB710).

So I can't use all 3 sticks of ram then?

just checking, but will I have any issues overclocking because of my RAM?

I'm using 2 sticks of 1GB HP DDR2 667mhz (those sticks they were selling for $3 each 2 years ago) and 1 stick of 2GB...

I just noticed that it's probably a good sign that newegg ran out...well it is for me, since you (buck nasty) ordered your 2nd one on the 6th. I ordered one less than a week after you and now they...

Well I got my Freezer 7 Pro...cpu and mobo arrive monday, still keeping my fingers crossed

Wow, that's pretty fast. I guess eWiz still has plenty though (we hope). mwave did but they stopped selling them a long time ago.

eWiz/Superbiiiz might be the only retailer that still carries...

Good buy. I would've bought from SuperBiiz but they require that your billing and shipping address be the same, and it's not for me since I'm living at a college dorm room.

It should still be $55 on eWiz.

I'm guessing they're running out of stock.

When did you order this second one? Also, are you using stock cooling or a different one?

I'm using a Cooler Master HyperTX2 on my BSEL'd E2200 right now, so I'm just going to take that off and...

I finally decided to order, picked up the 5000+ and a US2H motherboard from newegg. Keeping my fingers crossed...

It was like $144 for the cpu and mobo...if I decided to go with either the Phenom...

Still thinking about getting this. What motherboard did everyone get?

Lots of people used the US2H gigabyte motherboard.

I'm planning on picking up a Phenom II X2 BE 550 and the Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P motherboard to unlock 4 cores and overclock.

The UD4P seems like a quite successful unlocking motherboard. Is there...

I can't find the X2 5000 on mwave. Could you post a link?

With this clocked at 3.2Ghz with 4 cores unlocked (is that realistic?) how would this compare to an Athlon II X4 620 at 3.2Ghz?

I'm considering an upgrade, and this cpu is bundled with a GIGABYTE...

Actually it's probably not a heat issue. I replaced the reference model cooler with an Accelero S1 and a Twin Turbo module. Temps peak at 55 degrees or so. It's probably voltage related, but I'm not...
