Somebody, hook me up with one of these chips! Me likes!!

Phenom II x4 945 3,1ghz AM3 has been slated, it won't be released (due to better then expected yields?).

Instead we'll get Phenom II x4 955 AM3 3,2ghz which will be released on the 20th of April

It will still be rated at 125W TDP.

Bingo13 is online right now, if anyone would know for sure that would be the man with the answer...

cool cause i wanted to wait to upgrade to this cpu (955) rather than get the 940, so i can upgrade to ddr3 later on down the line...

same here thats why i skiped the 940, atm i got a 9850 BE

the scaling is not bad

source is is LostCircuits review of 940

@ Dumo

Man, I did a search today for Phenom II 955 on google and your screenshots are all over the net.

What I found interesting while looking through the whole review was this...
SSE4 enhancemnet on vs off... Notice that it seems even Intel's CPU's benifit from it being off. Look how well the Phenom 940 does compared.

SSE4 on

SSE4 off

I know.. It seems everyone is pulling crap out of there hat to have a way to get hits on there site.

**dennilfloss** · 03-18-2009, 04:35 PM

ES or not, that does sound like a mighty sweet chip.

**Dumo** · 03-21-2009, 09:39 AM

Set up

+4G with 1.45Vcore air...

Spi 32M AMD's time...

chew* · 03-21-2009, 09:51 AM

That chip with that heatsink is making other heatsinks look stupid

Ahh is that an old x1800/1900 card dumo? gotta let me borrow that for a little while

still got a couple "special" bios's for those cards

**Dumo** · 03-21-2009, 09:57 AM

Yep. A good combo with your TT the bear

**Smartidiot89** · 03-21-2009, 10:10 AM

Besides the graphiccard, was is that other card you have next to it? :O

Port 80 diagnostic card, a must have tool for any serious overclocker.....probably seen mine in a few shots of my board as well.

Dumo, I'm tackling something today so i'm busy but tommorow I'm going to see if I can whip up a decent mounting kit for our old phase units.

Very curious what the 720's can do under mach 1's

**Dumo** · 03-21-2009, 10:38 AM

My runs with Mach II GT and Vapo LS been erratic because of mounting problems. Sometimes evap only covered 3/4 of cpu.

But if it dead center then NB clocking will be a breeze

Is it the same thing as i have on the bottom of my DFI mobo?

Yep my mounitng kits should be perfect for good contact just need to have a day where I focus on that and that only.

Yah same thing your DFI comes with I guess. Some boards do some don't, that card is how I found out all the issues with both gigabyte boards.......

4X1GB mem.
1.5 Vcore

**Dumo** · 03-23-2009, 08:43 AM

Cold will be next

chew* · 03-23-2009, 08:47 AM

Dumo try to keep the PWM warm, hairdryer, or heatlamp or something to that effect, It will probably respond better the longer you are under cold.

that's mine

**Dumo** · 03-23-2009, 10:37 PM

Nice runs there Manny

Hows the NB clocking?

**_Manny_** · 03-24-2009, 01:15 AM

I where @ 2600 mhz but on a m3a78

this afternoon I'll try to push it @ 4,4 all core on a m4a79-t deluxe
