Darknova · Mar 27, 2009

It kinda seems like CnQ is stuck on...

just enabled CnQ and still a no go.....ugh!

CPUZ issue then.. Try other versions or contact whoever makes it.

Not quite, Windows and the BIOS report the maximum speed (IE if CnQ was disabled). CPU-Z reports the actual speed of the CPU.

What's performance like?

Assassin48 · Mar 27, 2009

CDwall how long before you sell me that chip?

Chicken Patty · Mar 27, 2009

i've seen those things hit 4ghz at 1.25v stable with a bit more. THose 955 look really good.

super pi says its @800mhz :shadedshu

guess its just not recognizing it correctly? Tried core temp? Maybe it gives you correct reading.

does the BIOS at least read correctly???

yep 955BE@4ghz

so you think it really is ASUS's fault, or just the programs not recognizing anything correctly. Kinda like what happened with your other CPU the 945ES. Read as an opteron, remember???

ShadowFold · Mar 27, 2009

Does this look good at all?

LifeOnMars · Mar 27, 2009

Is it worth going to AM3 motherboard yet with DDR 3 or not? It would be a bit tight money wise. Or should I get a nice AM2 board with a nice chip?

ShadowFold · Mar 27, 2009

I'd op for a 720 and a DDR2 790GX right now. DDR3 isn't really worth it if you're gaming. I don't bench much, I just want DDR3 because I love AMD

This camparo should answer your question
945 @ 4.9 ddr3

720x4 @ 3.8 ddr2

Bandwidth is amazing, look at the latency

Theres no way to get those numbers with any DDR2.

If I were building a complete new box I'd go DDR3. If you can't afford to then get an AM3 CPU and upgrade mobo and memory later after the prices come down. :toast:

Huge diff on the synthetic bench but real world benches show little improvement. I'd still go DDR3 if it were a new build and I could afford it. As DDR3 gets faster in the months ahead it will make for a significant improvement.

3dsage · Mar 27, 2009

I'm a bench freak, I suppose that my "Real World" as far as PC"S go.

I like getting new gear that benches higher than what I had before.

I have my Toshiba laptop for real world stuff

Unless you run DDR1 latencies. ;-)

Odds are cdawall that they just haven't released a bios update to support that chip yet.
