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

[Psycho_eddie]

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

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

[patrickadizzle]

Brother Esau!

Also have fun with those Cell Shock sticks.

I was thinking about buying some until I read your post on them

But anyway, Hope you get a good chip!

Remeber the icfx-3200 .

Phenom

Why the switch to AMD brothe???? why the downgrade? from the quad?

[Brother Esau]

Because I want to see what this new DFI 790FX AMD board can do and I do like AMD too that in addition to doing a positive review on his board so people can see what DFI has brought to the table in terms of new AMD overclocking with the 790 chipset and the Phenom issue will not last very long anyways.

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.

[Hemi]

It would be nice to see the dfi running a 6400. 16x is the multi and is locked. My cpu will run up to 3.52. Very hard to get stable above that in melbourne fl. Its just to hot

[nzbleach]

do you work for DFI?

[Brother Esau]

If you are referring to me....no I do not work for D.F.I , but I do like D.F.I products and what they do and stand for as a company so in short I guess that makes me a fan boy and no regrets at all on my end admitting to that either


Aukland, New Zealand heh? My Dads from Aukland

[Brother Esau]

CPU will be here on Thursday Lets just hope the Motherboard arrives the same day

[ZL1Killa]

SWEEEEEET. keep us posted

[kyosen]

I'm playing with DFI 790FX and Phenom9500.
DFI 790FX has BIOS setting for NB multiplier(needed BIOS uptdate to R7LDB22)
HyperTransport base clock limit is ~245 or so, at least for my own Phenom9500...
...we need higher multiplier

[Brother Esau]

I'm a Hoofer at Heart!............I don't know if you saw the Fatboy Slim Video? But.........I kick it Old School!

Is that just because of quad core or is that baseline period? And is that latest official or some beta bios?

[Brother Esau]

Update: ......Thanks to the Good Folks at Motherboardpro.com I will be receiving Both my D.F.I 790FX-M2R & my AMD 6400+ Black Edition on Thursday

Thanks for the great service Mike @Motherboardpro.com
