GIGABYTE E350N-USB3, who is your daddy

[The Coolest]

FYI guys, CPU-z is wrong about the multiplier.
The CPU here is running at x8 multiplier.

that would put it a 1880mhz and it's stock speed is only 1.6ghz not a very big OC ?
I would think the bus speed isn't right either then :/

[The Coolest]

I believe the bus is ok. There's a very standard way to measure bus frequency.
Multiplier on the other hand may be different for every processor generation. And after looking at the documentation, it is certainly different compared to previous AMD CPUs.

be sweet to see how it does with some cool aftermarket air coolers on it.

probably just need a good one for the fusion chip not the I/o hub chip.

something like this

hehe do it!

hey dino

got a ram cooler lying around?

that might fit pretty well over teh gigabyte heatsink, slap that on there and see if it helps.

[alpha0ne]

^ Those Corsair DIMM coolers are useless, even when used as DIMM coolers

40mm fans just dont do the job, much better to use two 60mm fans

[mAJORD]

it's pretty fast at super pi next to K10 CPU's if it's only running 1886mhz.. (not faster, but around as fast)

[alpha0ne]

I keep checking SaticICE every few days in the hope one of these babies will show up but nothing yet

[asham]

Hey

I'm soooo eager to get my hands on one of these boards too!

But performance-wise, how does this sexy peace of hardware compare to an old, custom built AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (single core, mind you!) with only 1 gig of RAM for every-day use, such as browsing the web and office-applications?

I'm thinking it might just be as good if not slightly faster since the new board comes with better graphics, dual core CPU AND more RAM.
What are your thoughts?

[chew*]

My thoughts are it looks fun, can't wait to torture the board i won.

You lucky lucky man...................but its not nice to torture babies................so send it to me PLEASE

Heh, if it survives torture it may end up getting massaged into my PS3's case using all my PS3's hardware if i can figure the pinout's on the bluray player and convert it.

Getting ever so frustrated with cooking that thing everytime it dies.

These things should all come with a bluetooth remote though, that would put the nail in the coffin for me as far as my PS3 goes.

so if u guys bench it to death, then the mobo is also busted since you can't just replace the chip?

That is correct.

Also if my sources are accurate and they usally are. Voltage scaling the CPU part yields small gains, gpu on the other hand will be a different story.

So $149.99 in the US of A....................so that means even though the AU dollar has parity with the US $, by time the thieving distries/suppliers here in AU add the new stock 'tax' gouge it should cost about $220 here

[kuroikenshi]

lol i honestly didnt look at the spec yet just thought 8GB ram looks cool in it

that was all done in bios yeah

that little fan is not loud at all, in fact i couldnt hear it over my normal machine but i would rip it out and fit a bigger slow moving fan anyways in there as once dust starts crippling those little s they get whiney

hey mate,
I pulled my stock cooler off. now that's a 3 piece part, I polished all the surfaces off and sanded them flat... I managed a further drop on my temps by 10 degrees Celsius, of and do not forget tu use some good paste if you can't get a hold of some indigo and a fan forced oven

[Christian Ney]

You remember these dino ?

[kuroikenshi]

how come I v=can't make mine go over 125? do I need to hex edit the bios to unlock it?

[kuroikenshi]

ok, after running this thing at 1.9 for the last two weeks the board seems to be doing fine, any way to push it beyond 125? Bios wont let me though.
