AMD Shanghai/Deneb Review Thread

[Uncle Jimbo]

You know it's gotta be good if Anand likes it.

IoC mentioned that the production parts had minor improvements from the ES parts - Anandtech seems to confirn that.

In fact, the latest retail steppings that AMD displayed this past week showed significant improvements in overclocking headroom compared to the press samples we utilized. Our 940 topped out at 3.9GHz, which is not bad, but after reviewing AMD’s results and seeing some early retail numbers on the forums, the expectation level for air-cooling is now set to the 4.1GHz range with the 920 hitting 3.8~3.9GHz on the right motherboard.

I've something weird, running the stresstest of AMD overdrive my Phenom II core temp goes to 63 degrees celsius and settles there. Much higher then in the reviews... also my motherboard reports a 55 degrees celsius temperature(which is measured the old fashion way. All at idle and on C&Q it's about 38...

Is my HSF mounted wrong, are their numbers incorrect or am I just crazy?

My CPU cooler is the Freezer Extreme. Not a bad cooler by any means...

Start with remounting heatsink and if that doesn't work try using an other program to read temps and possibly look at BIOS rev for your motherboard.
