AMD Phenom II Review Thread

[Leeghoofd]

Just watch stable overclock reached by reviewer with i7 and end users overclocks

Well I can trust Sky (Hardwarecanucks), he's always been very objective and either he got a bad sample like he's suspecting or things don't taste as creamy as presented

Secondly these motherboards should have matured pretty well, compared to the I7 ones with the X58 chipset... if you only have one bios to try not much you can do...

you always find strange comments, the real strange part is how reviewers actually OC, in core2 times you see oc's with the best air coolers like ultra120 extreme, its already known phenom2 needs cool down to clock higher. Now they test on stock cooler. Where are the NB oc's????

With strange comments I mean big errors in the reviews : inversed diagrams, wrong conclusions (maybe due to the inversed diagrams), running tests on a 4870 512 with 16xx res and concluding the Phenom keeps pace with Intels flagship in all the games : for me the vidcard bottlenecks as every cpu in the test is at the same pace, and so on...

I hope Hardwarecanucks and madshrimps as websites can bring out some nicer results then what I see today or even the end users... Be aware that many were eagerly awaiting these results and when reading this will have the same initial feeling that I'm having right now... I hope for AMD all them review sites got it wrong

I saw some True's, Noctua's and OCZ vendetta coolers in the reviews and ofcourse they had the better results then just 3.6-3.8Ghz stable

We'll have to wait untill the extreme overclockers take these processors for a spin, I guess. There weren't that much Phenom I clockers to begin with, so I reckon a lot of people have to get used to the technology first.

Hope you get one of these soon man. Plus I got a True with 1366 socket ( dual fan ready) waiting for you sir PJ after the weekend
