    phenom II e series now benching

    has anyone here had a play with these yet? ive not seen anyone else overclocking these anywhere and i dont know why because im having a blast http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=674126 and ripping for shiggles http://www.ripping.org/database.php?cpuid=1073
    thats on a standard coolermaster v8 with an old 80mm cpu fan tied onto the side with a shoelace to bring the temps down lol couldnt get anymore ghetto could it.
    having a tough time getting stable, seems like anything other than 2100nb and ht with low ram speeds it will instantly bsod in 3d apps (no problems in prime) i think she just wants me to buy a dice pot

    nice ive been wanting to try one. did you check the VID on it? im betting its real low. you should have a go see if you can top that 955 oc with it
    let me know how it performs if you get a chance

    The 905E may not be all that's cracked up to be, but good price nonetheless.

    not surprised it performs badly @ 2.5 tbh lol. youre right about the price, i got mine oem for half the price of a 720 and its on a par and maybe even a little better at overclocking. going to see if i can lay my hands on a 705e with the slightly higher multi or a 900e and do some real benchmarks. suppose i should do some runs shouldnt I

    If you got the 700E at 4GHz, you may be able to get a 900E/905E at 3.5GHz with high voltage, perhaps.

    yeah maybe.. they cost the same as a non black edition 720 here in the UK so it might be worth a try. if my old motherboard sells ill try 1 out

    Did you buy this 700e in a regular retail store?

    Can't seem to have seen it around much, only one seller on ebay who sold a few a couple of months ago.

    that will be the geezer i got it from. redstripe? you have to buy them oem i think, found a few but he was cheaper since i would have to pay vat
    i actual ordered a 705e but he sent a 700e, .5 of a multi difference but the 705e is more widely available. very nice overclocks in your sig btw im impressed

    thought you might be interested in some benchmarks http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=892563 have been benching at around 4.1ghz with 1.45vcore, will keep you posted while i do the time challenge over the next few weeks

    btw did manage to get into the 11's but couldnt validate, will be coming back to this. 3 cores btw no unlocking allowed and if you go peeking at my hwbot those benchmarks there are just warmups ignore them and they are in vista 64 which is just unfortunate
