Well I've put my order in with Scan for my M3A79-T, at last...!!!!!
It should be here on Tues according to the order confirmation......fingers crossed that this time after having ordered one from Offike almost 2 months ago, that this time it will arrive as expected......!!!
I have a hospital appointment on Wed though, so won't be able to do much until Thurs, maybe even Fri depending on how my hospital visit go's.
I hope to have it up and running before the weekend though. Going to see if I can get some good OC'ng out of my 9950 then.
I hope I get a at least another 200Mhz out of it, preferably even 400Mhz.
I'm surprised to see the 3.1Ghz - 3.19Ghz limits with you guys though, as I've had 3146Mhz (203 X 15.5) out of my 9950 on my current SB600 M3A32-MVP, so I hope that isn't as much as it will do, and that I gain something from SB750 and ACC, especially after the hassle I've had to get one.
It won't be that big a deal if I don't though, as I needed to get a SB750 mobo anyway ready for the Phenom II aka Deneb. So it'll give me plenty of time to get to know the mobo and all its settings before Jan (or more likely Feb in the UK) when the Phenom II's are available. But it would be nice to get a really good OC for a change.
Its been a while since I been at 3.5Ghz, not since I swapped to Phenom on my water-cooled PC and put my X2 6400+BE back with its stock HSF.
I had 3.45Ghz with a X2 6000+
3.5Ghz with the X2 6400+BE
Then dropped down to 2.2Ghz with my first Phenom, the horrible B2 stepping 9500 back last Oct.
Then up to 2.9Ghz with my 2nd Phenom, the 9850BE
Then up to 3.1Ghz with my current 9950BE.
Yet still 400Mhz short of the 3.5Ghz I saw with my X2 6400+BE and even 350Mhz short of the X2 6000+ I had.
It would be really nice if I could get back up to the 3.45Ghz -3.5Ghz with Phenom, before finally swapping to Phenom II, it would be even better if it could surpass the X2 OC's and got up to 3.6Ghz,...... something I was never quite able to get the X2's to do 100% stable, I did once manage to boot at 3.6Ghz but almost immediately froze up on trying to launch any app, so had to drop back down.
I had really high hopes for Phenom and Spider platform, pre-launch of course, and even though it was really good to finally get Phenom to 3.0Ghz+ with the 9950BE, I'd like even better to get to where I've seen others get, and hit the 3.4 - 3.5Ghz mark....!!!
Guess I'm going to have to go back through the entire thread again now, and pay attention to any little glitches that have been causing issues, in readiness for its arrival...
That and having a good sort of all my folders to see what I need to keep and what I can get rid of before wiping everything ready for a nice clean install of Vista.
Its going to be a busy week...LOL...!!!
