Phenom II 6 GHz+ OVERCLOCK

[Throwed]

our tax money at work.....

I pay taxes too. Though to make you and sparky feel better....I have a decent GPA. So the taxes aren't going down the toilet. Currently it's 3.2 and should be higher by the end of this semester. Besides if I do take out a loan I will have to pay that back. Though the Pell funds are completly free and I usually have 6-700 bucks left over after tuition fees are paid. I can use 2-3 hundered on a Deneb 940 and still have money for books. ......NTM, I can get a loan at any given time through the year if I need it. Remember the childeren are our future.

I will make sure I thank all the tax payers once I recieve my Bachelors in Computer Science.

BTW, I need a Quad core to do my programming. Do you really expect me to compile my programs with something slow? Thankfully ASU is not that expensive and I am able to recieve revenues from Pell. Maybe Barrack Obama will increase federal aid.......Then I could get a new GPU to replace my 4850.

Stop being stingy and spread the wealth! For all you know I may help make Fallout 8 and do it right by listening to what gamers really want.

Ya, but I remember when everyone just knew beyond doubt that that 4ghz screen was a fake and now look........

Ditto, it seems AMD are on a roll, but I must be honest....even I had doubts back then and I am a AMD fanboi to the heart. Nice to see them back in the fight.

Pell funds aren't free, it is subsidized by the taxpayers... and it is meant for education, NOT computer hardware, hence the
But this is hardly the place to get into anything like this.

same version and good info in box so i doubt this screen is legit

I think the ES version in the 5.9 shot is a #2 stepping. Hence, the weird cpu-z reading. Again, I don't vouch for this site in any way, just thought the screen shot coupled with others on the site that show a LN setup was worth discussing.

I'm a tax payer and it's free to me. BTW, my Major is CS so I need a good working PC. A lame excuse I know, but hey......Gotta' love the USA!

I think we can forget the "blog" results since they look fishy as hell.
We need more sources like Linus or similar and forget the ones like that blogspot since there will be more and more like that while we approach the January release date.

[G0ldBr1ck]

blogspot has been debunked in the news thread. someone found those same pictures of the desktop from 2007 (intel rig)

Isn't he posting similar results though?(not the 6Ghz part...but the 4Ghz part) He has been VERY hush hush but hasn't given any indication that differs from other sources from the net.

As far as pell is concerned, I care not how you spend the money so long as school related expenses come first. It sounds like they do, so you're square in my book. Back when I was in college, I never received my pell money until AFTER a semester. As such, it wasn't incredibly useful since I'd already had to pay for all of the semester as it came. It also wasn't helpful when KSU decided it never got any money and the government was sure it had sent it. Neither side really gave a and just dropped a $3500 bill on me. Yes, they got paid twice, and that was the last semester I decided to spend at that particular university.

Yeah, business before pleasure. That's the only way to get ahead. My wife went to a school that did the same as KSU which I think sucks. ASU gives a Higher One MasterCard Debit Card to dispurse all funds. So all your funds are available to you ASAPhttps://augustastateonecard.higheroneaccount.com/. I usually get my funds 14 days after the semester starts. Though I can always use my ASU ID at the ASU bookstore, Starbucks, and all other on campus stores and charge whatever I buy to my finacial aid during the 14 day waiting period. I can even buy my parking decal and a meal plan with finacial aid. So it all works out great.

Sorry you got stuck with a bill, but hey.....Education is an investment. Beats working manual labor for peanuts. I love ASU...http://www.aug.edu/!!!!


On Topic.....

Anyhoot, is there any talk of dual socket AM2+ or AM3+ boards coming out like they had with Socket F? Imagine two 4Ghz+ Denebs inside your system.

The Shanghais will make a nice 2P system once the 800S chipset comes out. All of the current ones on the market are pretty dated. If you're into nVidia graphics or single card solutions, however, you do have a few options to go dual 45nm like this one:

Stay away from that board. Asus technical support for this board is disgusting. The current BIOS can't even overclock Barcelonas. No working voltage adjustments in the BIOS and it doesn't look like Asus is going to get off their asses anytime soon to fix it. You're better off with a MSI K9ND Speedster 2.

I'm about as much of a fan of MSI as I am am of Intel. I haven't own an Intel chip other that modem's since the 286. That sort of tell's you something. I'd rather own AMD, and the former Cyrix than Intel. I'm still running a AMD chip. Haven't touched a Phenom yet. I felt I should wait on them.

I would like something like Intel did with their Skulltrail for AMD, as I see AMD as a better chip, with a better IMC. They after all can stay nearly neck and neck with triple channel using only dual channel. If AMD could pull one off with a newer Deneb core, workstation user's everywhere would certainly be happy with an affordable solution.

wow, all i got to say is wow

from the 21/11/2008 till 25/11/2008, this post has recieved a wopping,

Are you twelve? Why start another pointless flame war? Also, Some advise. Be nice to people you meet going up the ladder as they are the same people you pass on your way back down.

are you twelve? this is an obvious joke that is pointed at no one, get a sense of humour.

as for going up the ladder? im allready on the roof matey, no falling or going back down anywhere for me.

not that i would care, if you dont know me by now you never will, i dont give two monkeys what you think i should have said, so you wasted your typing breath really

flame war? WTF are you on about boy? i believe you peeps just say this, because its seems the correct thing to do.

flame war? go back 20 posts, that where you should be making comments

Not going to interrupt much, but I think it's damn hilarious how you can ask this to soundood but when one of, as DrWho? nicely said, 'the blue team' starts making such comments you're dead silent, and when a member of 'the green team' reacts to said 'post' you actually support him

Although Ive to admit it ain't the most smart post from soundood to make, but obviously you feel offended in anyway

i know, i know, but hey it was pointed at no one, it was truly in the art of a bit of fun, and meant to offend no one.

the thing is here, is that i have had this a few times, unofficial mods giving me the 'whats what' line.

just post in relation the the OP, the Mods here are great, hey i have had my 'wings clipped' a few times. let them keep me in the rules
after all thats what they do ehh?

so thats that, get back on topic and lets not get away from the fact that this just could end up being in the 'lager book of records'

unlike the Guniness book of Records, this one is only spoken about in the pub after 5 lagers

AMD Phenom II X4 launch might be delayed

I don't believe this.

BS.Their sources are who exactly?"People we spoke to?" Who that might be,main intel mobo partners?

i just want the new phenom2 .for now its a hurry up and wait ,,,,,, thats killing me http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ies/dammit.gif
and i hope they stay on track for january 8

[PetNorth]

meh they are wrong, my sources say that launch will be sometimes in 2012 and availability during 2014

[Particle]

Quit being so optimistic. MY sources tell me to brace for 45nm from AMD in 2204. My sources also tell me that Intel will be delivering 22nm 16-core UHKMG on mega-SOI CPUs that clock to 97GHz (on AIR ) in Q1 2009.

...

Vague ramblings by random people doesn't qualify as a "source" imo.

[informal]

By the looks of it,Phenom II will be a new RV770,only in CPU world.It didn't quite beat the GT200 head to head(came close,trailed 15%,or beat it in some number of games),but it made a terrific success and represented a big-bang comeback for AMD in GPU world.Now they are about to the same in desktop segment with a 45nm CPU.Low power,low heat,high IPC,high OC headroom,relatively low price.Now,they only need to launch the thing .

Well.. if you can't wait that long, you can always try out AMD's Opteron Model 1356, its only 2.3GHz and its socket AM2+.. plus its in stock when I checked! Most probably the model used for the benchmarkls in those Chinese forums. Good luck!
