Yep but if you plan/think ahead MS has already made a statement that windows 7 will not support hybid crossfire/SLI due to instability. You do take a performance and temperature hit even if disabled. It could possibly cause issues going cold but apparently not in macci's test although IIRC he did not freeze the NB.Originally Posted by CntdwnToExtn

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
the part marked in bold has no reason for me, your either a member or not, regardless of 'time' or 'posts' or 'contributions'
this equates to an elitist attitude to me, and have seen this view a hundred times on other forums.
this infers that because you have been here longer, that we should have more respect?
this is how you see yourself, not how others , (like me) see you.
your just another poster, albiet one who hasnt hit this section for a while
although nice to see you made the time to grace us with your majestic presence now that Phenoms are reported to be hitting 6 Ghz,
maybe you will hang out more now?

God knows I have seen this several times too. I don't know why some equate post count to intelligence/respect or to justify themselves as "not" being a fanboi just because what occured in the past. Overall, I could careless about how many times one may post, how long they have been at a forum, their title at a forum or what happened in the past at the forum. It's best to judge a post by the post. Just because someone bought AMD in the past doesn't mean they can't be a Intel fanboi today.
Well done soundood.....Keep up the fight.All the sly 3rd party fanboism is easy to see through. I don't know why some choose to pull the wool over our eyes when their post are so transparent. There's an old saying of "A hit dog will bark" and AMD has alot of the blue dogs barking like crazy.....and for nothing....AMD nor Intel will always be the best/Number 1. If this is AMD's time to shine then let em'........Especially in a section/thread dedicated to AMD....and not Intel. I don't understand why some just don't get it. Especially after it has been mentioned earlier that they can take particular post to another thread/section that caters to what they want to discuss.
Some of these Intel folks are about as bad as some of the "Pro Mac" folks. Why bring up a Honda Accord in a thread about a Lamborgini?
chew*, I'm coming back too. Intel sucks.
I miss the days of the RX480s, I know how much you contributed back then...
It's not always the length of time soundood, but the quality of the contribution. Few have equaled chew* in the amount of quality info they've posted, going above and beyond to find answers, testing lots of configurations (sometimes out of pocket) and generally trying to make sure EVERYONE got the most out of their hardware.
All I can claim is to have supplied WC a new material to work with, not that anyone wants to play with it. Some of these guys are well connected at AMD and other places, and use that to help us, and we run them off by ignoring them or abusing them.
If you don't have anything nice to say, keep it to yourself.
I like how you highlighted that part but only made a statement based on only one of the words you highlighted.
What have you contributed? Me i put alot of time and energy into helping crack the steppings on 939 so that users would have a really good chance of getting a good chip that didn't coldbug.
Also helped out in deciphering the rest of the stepping and what it meant.
I helped out alot with abit's AN8 line of boards, owned every single one and took the time to come up with settings that worked helped with bios mods and testing.
When ATI and AMD were merging behind closed doors I was testing and helping out with RX480 and RD580....Any of the important grouper or manta threads you will see i started or was a part of.........ATI was sending me reference boards for testing.
I set a WR with x2 3800 on manta while testing.
I can't even count how many hours/days/weeks I put into helping out.
What have you done?
Post count means nothing, quality of posts/threads mean everything.......
As for your last remark, lmao. Maybe I should have graced your presence when i shelled out big money for an asus quadfire board and a Phenom BE that was barely stable stock.............Nope instead I kept it to myself gritted my teeth grabbed something else to use while I awaited amd's return.
Throwed your really naive............secondly what the hell does a lamborghini and a honda have to do with any of this, last time i checked this was a thread about AMD's new cpu's not Via or slot cpu's. And why would you even suggest that intel is a lambo........versus amd being an honda.........I even take offense at that remark and intel never ever had a performance lead even close to that comparison...........

And another thread turns into a "My D_I_C_K is longer then yours" battle.........
Chew I'm with you, and btw thanks for that list of steppings and such for the 939 chips, I used it when I was looking for a good clocker for air and was able to pick one up that did really well
My old Asus A8R32-MVP deluxe is still my most favorite board I've ever had so far.
The Cardboard Master Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
Intel Core i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz, 16GB DDR3-1600, Radeon 7950 @ 1000/1250, Win 10 Pro x64
You know it's a statement when I track down a Grouper board with Corei7 just around the corner.
Anyone know where to find good 939s cheap? Found some RAM, just need a processor and I'm good to go.
Ebay perhaps or the FS section here or on Anandtech FS/FT perhaps. Finding good 939 chips for good prices is hard, people seem to hang on to their good 939 stuff pretty tightly.

I have quite a few 939 chips here still kayin ( contrary to popular belief apparently ) I'd be willing to get rid of my 3700+ sandiego, Not the greatest clocker but decent, ran hot so I popped the lid, repasted and sealed the lid back on. Obviously not a "cold" chip.
here's a teaser for you kayin

this doesnt make sense to me, come again?
what i have contributed is irelevant, same as what you have contributed, its all irelevant. personaly i dont give a monkeys what you can do and what you have done, im more of a 'what you are doing now' kind of guyWhat have you contributed? Me i put alot of time and energy into helping crack the steppings on 939 so that users would have a really good chance of getting a good chip that didn't coldbug.
im sorry still no hat and balloon here for you, i still couldnt care less.Also helped out in deciphering the rest of the stepping and what it meant.
nope, you still wont impress me, i really dont care, good on you for trying though, god loves a try'er.I helped out alot with abit's AN8 line of boards, owned every single one and took the time to come up with settings that worked helped with bios mods and testing.
yawn, yeah your a legend in your own lunchtime dudeWhen ATI and AMD were merging behind closed doors I was testing and helping out with RX480 and RD580....Any of the important grouper or manta threads you will see i started or was a part of.........ATI was sending me reference boards for testing.
WR, wow even i am not impressed by that oneI set a WR with x2 3800 on manta while testing.
nothing compared to you allmighty one...lolI can't even count how many hours/days/weeks I put into helping out.
What have you done?
i do agree here, but not in regards to this postPost count means nothing, quality of posts/threads mean everything.......
i do hope you have stopped gritting those teeth while we poor souls have suffered at the hands of our Phenoms.As for your last remark, lmao. Maybe I should have graced your presence when i shelled out big money for an asus quadfire board and a Phenom BE that was barely stable stock.............Nope instead I kept it to myself gritted my teeth grabbed something else to use while I awaited amd's return.

I may hunt across fleabay for a DC opty, but I have this sick and twisted idea of putting this as my main board in Mithril, putting the quad in my wife's rig since she spends 75% of her time encoding, and putting the E6600 in the Gigabyte when I get it back from RMA and using it as the media center.
I really think I'm gonna do it, but I probably won't just cause I should use that Q6600 for my rendering and clock that E6600 up some.
soundood, You really do come across as a twelve year old keyboard ninja.
trust me, my Kung Foo is better than your Kung Foo
and also trust me in saying that i am not 12, in fact i remember the Altair 8800, and was very much 'alive' at its release, lol

longtime contributing
I know with the apparent small capacity of your brain likely due to your immensely large E-peen that this is hard to comprehend but here goes.
you made this bold longtime contributing And then went on to explain how postcount and longevity means nothing and somehow skipped over the contribution end of things.
Of course you later posted that contribution means nothing...........So what i really don't understand is why your posting in a thread that would not be here had someone not contributed they're experience with overclocking a phenom II on DI that hit 6g. I'm done with you and the rest of the keyboard commando's however, apparently the AMD forums have hit an all time low of immaturity......glad to know that there are still some folks with a good head on there shoulders however...........
On to more important things, anyone have any info/pics on upcoming motherboards not yet released, I still sadly see the trend of mobo manufacturers pulling all the stops and bling for intel and not for AMD

reported for flame baiting and insults
yawn, also ignored from now on
Ok guys,seriously ,i think you both should give each other a hand and we should all concentrate on the topic.I bet both of you are great people and that's why this makes no sense to me.
You really are better off ignoring them, so good call there. People who pick fights then cry to the mods are just useless.I'm done with you and the rest of the keyboard commando's however, apparently the AMD forums have hit an all time low of immaturity......glad to know that there are still some folks with a good head on there shoulders however...........

Yeah you'd figure we'd be seeing alot more AM3 boards with the chips rapidly approaching. While I'm not not going to buy one of those joke $300 boards I am hoping we have a better selection of boards this time around to choose from. There wasn't a must have board for me at all among the AM2+ offerings.
There hasn't been a must have board for me since the PURE innovation.
Boards are coming out, frankly-all these cold boot at stock problems, etc-I have gotten 4 boards this year, and gotten 4 duds. One you have to hit reset to make it boot, one came missing parts, one fried from crappy cooling and when I put waterblocks on it it snapped chips like no tomorrow and the last one never finished POST.
Somebody better get on the ball is all I have to say.
Kayin We need the good old DFI back
Bah, guys like him dig their own grave. Though gotta love how they try to hide their Intel fanboism in the AMD section. Anyone with half a brain can see through this type of non sense. BTW, nice touch on the new thread you made.
i cant make sense of this either Throwed, i would maybe just reply with a witty comment
What exactly makes me naieve? Because I and others want to stick to the topic instead of throwing Intel into the mix? Unlike you I am not going to stoop to the name calling. I'm not into playground banter. BTW, you must have it twisted. Intel is the honda now my friend, but I can respect your fanboism as long as it is NOT in the AMD section!So kick rocks and go where someone really wants to hear such tripe.
The old Abit back too. Abit are worst than Biostar now which back in the days was completly unheard of.Kayin We need the good old DFI back

Have you tried Biostar and ASUS? BTW, where do you buy your parts?......So I know not to shop there. Missing parts?.....Never at Newegg/TigerDirect. I have purchased 4 mobos this year my self 2 Biostar and 2 ASUS....and haven't had a problem out of any of them.There hasn't been a must have board for me since the PURE innovation.
Boards are coming out
Somebody better get on the ball is all I have to say.
That was NewEgg.
BTW, I've used EVERYONE. I have an Intel, an MSI, a DFI, and a Gigabyte here right now. I have another Sapphire board on the way. I've got a stack of dead ASUS in my closet (I've never had good luck with them, always been poor performers), I ran a Biostar Tforce board for a good 7 months, it went flaky too, my XFX NF590 was one of the most solid boards but the top was the Shuttle AN35N Ultra. I'm trying to think if I've not run anybody's stuff, short of like J&W...
Hardware is faster, but twitchier. I can take a hit in rendering times if it boots. If it doesn't boot till the third or fourth time, I'm not sure I need to give it my time even if it is "faster".
you can't be serious.
Wow, I never had a prob with Newegg as far as missing parts. When you say you have a stack of ASUS boards....which models? You said you only bought 4 mobos this year....Were they all ASUS? Be more specfic on which models you are referring to because I have had great success with ASUS. You either have bad luck or user error maybe. I've never heard of someone going through so many boards and not being completly satisfied by any.
I'm looking at the man in the mirror!(just kiddin')
