Athlon II (Regor) In the house!

[Smartidiot89]

Is that chart total system wattage?

Yeah, MSI 790FX-GD70, HD4850, 1 HDD, 1 DVD, 5 case fans powered with Corsair 650W.

I did stressing in LinX.

Cool, I just ordered a corsair 650tx to replace my enermax 400w. I'm looking to go to a 4870 and I wanted to make sure I'd have enough power overclocking.

Very good results Smartidiot89!
I like how Regor scaled on the same voltage with clocks! Power consumption barely changed

It's a shame I can't get this CPU now I have speeding fine to pay (there goes my Regor - £60.00)

[Overvolt_25]

temps in the low to mid 30's but this is what i have come up with so far. I have not had the chip but a couple of days but ill see if i can get a bit higher when i have time

[quintus]

Probably ln2 cooled:

With that PSU you can run a Quad-Core overclocked together with a Crossfire setup!

Thanks alot mate that's my first attempt of making a "professional" review on par with most other HW-sites. We are getting a Portal on the forum soon so it will be alot more organized.

OT: The clocking surprised me too, both CPU's barely changed in fulload even if it was quite a decent clock. My best guess as far as Phenom II x2 550BE flying through the roof is cause it's a cut down Deneb.

Regor is a really nice chip which in my opinion is the best dual-core CPU in terms of price/performance/watt And i love the fact that it stayed uber cool all the time no matter what kind of torture I gave it. Even with 1.55v my CPU cooler was still cold :P With my Quad-Core I could feel how the cooler had heated up abit even with stocksettings, and overclocked with 1.5v my case feelt abit warmish

Hello there
Reseller in Hong Kong just got Athlon II x2 in stock today

I got myself one piece (HKD$ 690 , $1 USD = $ 7.8HKD F.Y.I. ) and give it a little try
My friend plugged it in with a Biostar 780G mATX board and runs 3.73GHz @ 1.456V

This CPU runs cool too , I think it's ideal CPU to replaced my Athlon64x2 5050e in my ITX HTPC

Undervolt it!

i bet i can get higher but that was on an old Crosshair II (my M4A78T-E bit the dust) and i was running low on DICE

[imamage]

Dunno why
Only Vcore 1.5V allowed with my ASUS M3A79-T DELUXE after I plugged in this CPU
I can set higher Vcore with my 955BE ....weird

the 955BE defaults to a higher vcore you can set 1.5v in bios and up it further in windows with K10stat

This CPU is cool !!!
Undervolt it to 0.88V with Biostar 780G mATX board
with following hardware

Athlon II x2 250 @ 1.6GHz , NB 1.6GHz , Vcore 0.9V ( it shows 0.88V in CPU-Z) with Stock CPU Fan
1GB x2 Transcend DDR2-800
Seagate 160GB 7200.10
Pioneer DVD-116 SATA DVD Writer
with SPI 270W mATX PSU (Not 80PLUS , just a old PSU I got for my last HTPC)

CPU Temp almost the same as room temp , ideal chip
Idle only use 42W ~~ !

Nice chip you got there AMD

Here is my Athlon II x2 250 with Jetway HA08

*** Notice ***
Just ignore the Vcore , Detect Error
I only use 1.45V to reach this

yeah i was curious what it would take to get above 3.9 stable enough to benchmark. I am happy with my 3.87stable for daily use but i might have to try for more later

I just tested it more with a 780G board last weekend
Put this Athlon II x2 250 clocked at 800MHz @ 0.9V with NB 800MHz
with the system playing some recorded HDTV program (DXVA VMR9 Renderless with KMPlayer)
The whole platform only consume < 65W power
Nicely done AMD

I've a question:
Brisbane vs Regor
How does that play out? I have an HTPC with a brisbane running 2.8ghz and have a 240 Regor that I'm wondering of replacing it with (wondering if it's worth it or not b/c my power consumption is roughly 56W idle with the brisbane).
