Strange is, that 28,5 x 250,1 = 7127,85. So the cheater made a little mistake?![]()

Vmods - what can possibly go wrong? ©
I'm reviewing the 955BE and had one board die in the process. I'll have mine up as soon as I get this replacement Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P installed and updated. I tried overclocking on ECS' enthusiast board and could only get to 3.8GHz on stock voltage. There's a huge gap after that. It requires a crazy amount of voltage increase to be stable at 3.9GHz. I may have received a bad one, but I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't go above 3.8GHz given the hype surrounding this processor. I'll let you know what I get out of the processor on the Gigabyte board.

How may I ask did you kill the 790 FXT.........
We have put it under Ln2 for well over 50 hours........16 hours at a time.....used an insane amount of volts and have only suceeded in Damaging a SB, note the word damage ( and this was due to extreme condensation on a humid rainy day, ram slots filled with water, PWM soaking wet...... ).......the board still works great until you ask it for 2700 HT speeds............in crossfire X..........

At least in my experience, the overall clock speed doesn't always match up perfectly to what HTT * Mult would suggest. It may or may not be a valid submission, but that aspect of it doesn't rule out the possibility of it being legitimate.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
Luck of the draw I suppose. I bought the first one at Fry's because Gigabyte had taken awhile to get back to me. I fired it up with the exact same parts I used in the ECS board setup. I was having the mentioned USB keyboard issue so I needed to update the BIOS. I'm normally opposed to Windows based BIOS flashing because of prior bad experiences, but I noticed that overclocking and other things meant for the BIOS have been shifted in recent times to Windows based programs. I had a good experience flashing the ECS board BIOS in Windows so I thought I would give Gigabyte's tool a try. I selected the newly downloaded BIOS and clicked start. I instantly received a BSOD. When I went to restart the comp to try again it wouldn't post. I tried clearing the CMOS, taking out the motherboard battery, unplugging the system, nothing worked. The computer would power on and just run the graphics card fan at 100% without going any further. Needless to say, I won't be flashing in Windows again if I can avoid it.
So for all intensive purposes, it died. Rather than tinker with it any further, I took it back and Gigabyte sent me the one they were going to send anyhow. I'll be opening it up and installing it tonight.

Just try to recover it by booting with the mobo cd in your cd player, it might flash it from there, worth a try.![]()

OMG! 7,2GHz on Phenom II it´s Crazy. Now i´m yust waiting for absollute record on AMD 8,3GHz![]()
Think different! < Be different!
better wait for 10ghz.. What it calls? 1 Thz? lol
Guys its that screenie true , 7127.85Mhz or is it another cheat like the same guys did before 3 times cheat in the row ???
I would like to know![]()
no one knows but based on the fact that no one has come close to that number and that the guy has already cheated multiple times id say its not correct.
Still some very impressive overclocks have been made by the new AMD chips which make me excited!![]()
