D.F.I 790FX 6400+ or Phenom 9500

i wouldn't get teh 6400+ BE, i was reading on here earlier that its multiplier was locked. and the 5000+ BE was unlocked. but people already have some results with the 5000+BE... so idk...

having the 6400+BE overclocked since i haven't seen anyone do it yet would be nice...and it would be great to see what you do with that DFI motherboard

if you are ever looking at someone to sell the DFI790 or the 6400 to once you review it, LOL, i call dibs!! LOL!!!

The Amd 6400 being clocked quite high has a 15x multi allready, multi unlocked isnt that spectacular yes Amd 5000BE can OC well but performence isnt that great compared to 6400BE due to 512KB core vs 1MB core... Thats a vauable factor to consider!!


Also 6400BE has had price drop at OCUK for £117!!

What for Phenom to drop in price at least or wait for later releases but you need one now since that adivce given get 6400BE!!

Its a no brainer currently

Since when has L2 cache mattered for AMD performance? Cache matters for intel, not AMD

The Main Selling Feature of the AMD Black Edition Processors is that there is a Unlocked Multi

I can feel it this Motherboard is going to be a Monster

Is the 6400 also? I thought it was the 5000+ only since they launched it with the whole dare thing

[Brother Esau]

You sure about that? Don't matter much anyways I will be lowering the Multi to get the HT up and jack up the Ram performance on my $330.00 Cell Shock Ram that I have yet to be able to have fun with since my DFI P35 don't like the IC's on the sticks

[Lightman]

I would go with Phenom - simply more fun (or headache like other people like to call it )

6400 BE has upward locked multi at 16x! If you're not planning battling with coldbug then that's not an issue !

My 6000+ has 15x multi max. but I'm using 14x at most, usually 13x or 7x


PS. When you're getting DFI? I can't wait for some real user review of it .

[Brother Esau]

Will have both the Processor and Mobo by weeks end

the multiplier is locked at 15 on this cpu...it has been said multiple times in a previous post. the 6400+ bE is locked at 15...which isn't bad but you can't go above it...but when you can bump your memory speeds up and get them caught up to your processor... then it flies; so screw the 5000+BE

get the 6400BE

[funkflix]

6400+ should have a multi of 16, just for the correctness.
