Which Processor powers your system?

[hobo]eclipse · Feb 17, 2007, 08:03 AM

Got the fx back in dec cheap from newegg, got one for my bro for christmas, it was a nice upgrade from his Winchester A64 3500. 2.8 np at stock voltage (1.4v) on mine and his, CPU Z nevr seems to report the right voltage for me and the is actually 1.49v. Just pondering playing with the multipliers more now,hmmmmmm,wander what the safe max volts are for the se FX on air?, pretty chill here,im idling at 33c?

OmegaRED · Feb 17, 2007, 10:47 AM

Opteron 165 count as X2? Oh well that's what I voted.

josh2thad · Feb 17, 2007, 05:24 PM

A64 3400+ 939

Waiting to see the R600 and AMD response to the c2d in action before i go to the dark side (intel)

~~DudeBoyz~~ · Feb 17, 2007, 05:49 PM

I think I saw the FX 60 for $379 at TigerDirect or something.

I don't know if you can even find a 939 board with AGP any more. Wacky AM2 stuff.

MannieFr3sh · Feb 17, 2007, 07:02 PM

P4 530 3.0Ghz w/ HT @ 3.99Ghz. Planning on upgrading to a Pentium D 960 when they come down in price and OC it to 4.5+

Yeppers - Dual Core, each core with 128k L1 cache and a full 1 meg of L2 cache. 2.6ghz each core.

Fastest Socket 939 chip out there. Came out at $1031, I think I got it for under $800. Now they are under $400, if you can find them. Still, for me it was totally worth it. I've had all these months to play around with it and it really does make a big diff.

I paid almost $1100.00 for my FX-55 when it came out.And the same thing for my Intel X-Treme a couple of months ago.......STU-PID!But I like it.

I figure as long as it makes you happy, and you can afford it, you should just let yourself enjoy it and not worry about cost.

Currently powered by a Athlon 64 3500+ "Venice" S939.

Rock on!

The 3500 is a great chip - very solid. That's the chip I upgraded from. It served me well.

Luckily I had another machine to drop it in - from a Sempron to the 3500+. Still chuggin' along, it is.

Enjoy the upgrade.

blown503 · Feb 21, 2007, 05:40 PM

due to the extra slow 64 x2 6000+ I will be buying core 2 duo. Was waiting to recieve amds latest punch but never felt it. Guess its time for a change. Hello Intel!

H3X4D3C1M4L · Feb 21, 2007, 05:40 PM

It's just one of those things - for 4 years AMD kicked the P4 architecture. Intel had plenty of time to work it out.

Right now, the C2D 6600 and above are just the cats meow. I'm an AMD fanboy and even I would go C2D 6600 or higher if I were to go with another rig. The facts and data just flat out show them to be superior right now.

Romani48 · Feb 22, 2007, 12:28 AM

AMD Athlon64 3800+ at 2900Mhz (stock cooler, stock Voltage)

AMD ROCKS!!

d-rad · Feb 22, 2007, 05:28 PM

Blazer · Feb 24, 2007, 12:59 AM

I have always been an intel man, but until the conroe came out, I was seriously thinking about jumping to AMD, but I am glad that I didn't.
