AMD Phenom II 940 Black Edition Processor
Everyone else has a thread, so why not?
The goal of this thread is not to teach or to impress. I am brand new to AMD's Phenom processor, so any learning or excitement drawn from this thread is entirely unintentional and merely a positive side effect of my efforts. Let's get started...
Here are the specs:
AMD Phenom II 940 BE - Retail (CACVC AC 0848FPAW *0120)
DFI DK 790FXB-M2RSH - 12/26 Official Bios
2x2GB G.Skill F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI - Heat Spreaders Removed.
ATI 4850 1GB PCI-E
BFG 800W ES Series
Seagate 7200.10 500GB SATA300
Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme Black Edition (2x 120x38MM SanAce Push/Pull)
Special thanks goes to JonnyGuru/BFG (800w ES), Denny/G.Skill (4GB 8800's), and Matt & Simon/AMD (940 BE/4850 1GB).
Let's start it out with some pics while I was setting up the bench.
First, the new toys!
The new 940 BE direct from AMD!
DFI board and chip mounted on my new HSPC tech bench.
The TRUE Black Edition! (get it?)
Pretty new G.Skill PC2-8800 4GB PI kit. Pity those fancy heat spreaders won't fit under the TRUE.
Off they go!
And a nice close up of the nakedness. Mmmm..PowerChip.
Finally, the bench is all set up and ready to go.
