Last month i tried my old 720 BE under water to see how it did and compare it to a brand new 955. IIRC it was my best C2 deneb chip. Anyways it ran 2.6ghz NB, 3.8Ghz on all 4 cores with around...

Is the 890gx extreme4 receiving the same bios attention as its extreme3 counterpart? I am considering one of these boards and would appreciate any guidance as to which one is the better choice for a...

If I had that budget this is what I'd build:

From Newegg:
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Desktop Processor - C3...

This bios currently has tons of random issues regarding video and audio that crop up whenever I enable the "unlock" hybrid microcode in bios with the C3 chips installed, even when leaving ACC and the...

That first chip stopped clocking at 4045 with 1.53v - 3999 at 1.46v is right where it liked to run. It wouldn't unlock- It'll post as a quad but that's all.

I switched to the second one and it...

nice surprise yesterday, my c3's came yesterday evening and i popped one in this morning

I ordered two C3 stepping 550's as soon as I could pre-order them and they shipped yesterday. Supposed to come Monday.

I'm really interested to see how they do.

4x2 D9KPT runs fine on my gd70 with a C2 965 at the wheel

1.71v 1333 cas 6-6-6-18
1.88v 1500 cas 6-6-6-18
90ns subtimings on both

haven't tried anything looser because i'm sure i'd have to...

some of it is, but not all

Your chip is bad, man, that DFI will unlock 100% stable.

I used that mobo to unlock a 720 and three deneb 5000+, all were very easy to do and all those chips were good. I was using the August 20...

I have two dfi AM2+ boards (790FXB-M2RSH) and they are nice solid boards. Stable as can be, even with the new C3 chips with the latest beta, and they clock nicely.

they just don't have anything...

Throw it away. The same cooler came with my sempron 1250 and 720 if that says anything.


Put a 120mm tower cooler on and use one of the top thermal pastes if you want to have a positive...

I have had all these coolers aside from the megahalems at one point, i'm sharing what I've observed.

The mugen, CCF, and Xig all do better/equal to true with "tame" fans

I should clarify, by...

sbig :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing noctua > megahalem > true > others (CCF, XIG, Mugen, Baram)

Baram is about equal to true in performance but it's build quality is low. Xig and CCF are on...

I'd bet money you have Micron D9's judging how well they scale with voltage. I'm running 4x2gb of them myself in my main rig and they do what i'm after with 1.7vdimm (1333 cas 6 with tight...

I'm not too fond of PB myself, it kicked me in COD4 and 5 if I enabled SLI or tried to OC my cards for "overlay hacking". It works fine now that I'm running AMD gpu's though.

VAC does nothing. At...

A MSI GD70 mobo and a 720BE will be the ticket for that if your friend likes to do upgrades. Obviously, he'll will want to attempt an unlock and OC here, and possibly upgrade to a newer, better AM3...

Has anyone tried running sticks based on non-hyper elpida IC's?

Fry's has a sale on some value ram that uses those IC's, and after experiencing DDR3 on my main rig I'm very tempted to pick them up...

MS runs it on 360, not IW. They have no responsibility for MP on consoles other than I guess a percentage of the sale price of a MP enabled game.

If they truly wanted to have no overhead in this...

That argument holds true if you're talking about removing multi player in its entirity from games. But when it's a debate between dedi's and matchmaking, sure, there have got to be master servers up...

Isn't an advantage for the publisher if just as a game becomes old and stale the next version is instantly on the shelves?

And if that doesn't work as expected they can simply pull the plug on...

Wait, so you are saying that you can get 3.9 stable with out an overvolt? As in stock vcore? Raise the voltage a few notches if that's the case and 4ghz will be EASY.

If that's not the case, the...

I'm not confused about your tests at all, they're quite clear.

The remaining question I have is this: is the new Shine sturdier than the original BARAM? Or are they about the same in structural...

As I said I'm very satisfied with the performance of my BARAM and don't doubt that it could beat a TRUE in some fan/cpu combinations, probably low-medium noise where it's most effective against...
