Yeah I know,resellers screwed up i guess. Similar stuff happened with previous GPU launches from AMD,nothing new

No paper this time

4GHz isn't enought... my 965 rev c2 can do 3900Mhz with default vcore... Of course it can run 4GHz stable as well with small increment

**Sn0wm@n** · 10-19-2009, 12:33 PM

on one of the e-tailer site i saw 8mb cache L3 ... is it an error???

AMD
Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 125W AM3 8MB Cache 3400MHZ Retail
Manufacturer Part# HDZ965FBGMBOX

**Andi64** · 10-19-2009, 12:36 PM

It says 8MB cache, not 8MB L3 cache...

8MB Cache = 2MB L2 + 6MB L3.

There most certainly is an NDA.

FYI, those not under written agreement are still under NDA........ well maybe they can't take you to court......

There are other ways of dealing with it though such as say goodbye to any connections you may have had.

i have 3915 MHz stable with AIR + 2678 MHz NB.

Very easy hit 4 GHz, but not stable...

You can bet i'll ask to the person in charge before posting anything. Thanks for the tip

Nice chip indeed. I can't run 2600MHz NB stable

noticed price changes at newegg for the 965 and 955, wonder if they are the new stepping

**DedEmbryonicCe1** · 10-19-2009, 08:46 PM

There is already a link in this thread to a retailer with Dec 2nd listed as when they receive their shipments. The accuracy of that is up in the air but it's the only date I've seen anywhere.

Great news! At last...

**Monstru** · 10-20-2009, 04:58 AM

Other great news - X2 555 C3

**matose** · 10-24-2009, 12:47 PM

Today I had the chance to play with LN2 on C3 rev. It booted in Windows with no problems at 6.2-6.25GHz and it scales with the voltage until 1.85v which is very nice. Before the whole board freezed I got a validation at 6510MHz with all the 4 cores active.

I'll be back...

**breakfromyou** · 10-24-2009, 08:34 PM

Looks like i'm getting me a quad core afterall...

chew* · 10-24-2009, 10:05 PM

Last I checked it's not nov 4th.....

Uuuuh....here's the police....run!!!

matose - please put a small black dot on the "C3" in CPU-Z, so it's "ok with AMD"

Please go an tell the guys that are posting Gulftown results that January is 3 months away

I modified the pic, now it's ok?

**Monstru** · 10-25-2009, 02:27 AM

Nope, it is missing a white square on the black one, to be AMD friendly....Keep working man...

**Chrono Detector** · 10-25-2009, 04:47 AM

I can't wait to see overclocking results for these new revisions, I hope AMD will not disappoint. We need a chip that can do 4Ghz fully stable and uses less volts is what I'm asking for.

What's wrong with black?
It's black edition!
