AMD FX "Vishera" reviews info (again, after mod mistake)

Hope you don't think I was doubting your score man... I DO believe you!

Actually **I** was doubting my score.

I ran it and then typed the score since it didn't upload for some reason... and then later I had noticed everyone had a lower score for the same frequency that I ran at... so I definitely want to run again and make sure I wrote the numbers down correctly. I just keep forgetting to do it... and of course work is getting busy right now... just before I take a week off next week.

I will probably just use distilled and a kill coil. At this time I'm trying to decide if I should just buy a XSPC D5 "Raystorm" kit.... or spend about $80.00 more and buy each piece separate. (IF I buy each piece I can buy a slightly better radiator and waterblock... but is slightly better worth that much more money...)

EDIT: Re-ran. Got an even higher score: 367.249 running at 4.8Ghz. (Memory DDR3-2133@9-11-10-28-CR2 and NB/HT at "AUTO".)


OR
#333 at the benchmark site:

(This newer run is with the newest bios... the last run was older. I wonder if that has added the additional two points.)

BTW: I do keep planning on doing some tweaks on the NB/HT with benchmarking to verify performance... but I just never get around to it.

Have you looked at these keithlm?

If I was building a new WC rig from scratch this would be toward the top of my list...
It's basically and Apogee (rev 2) block and an MCP35X pump w/heatsink in one nice little package.
Should make for a clean install with good performance!

I've been using Swiftech's WC products for quite some time and have been very happy with the results...

Since your looking to go with water, thought I'd through it out there!
