i scored about 250 points better using this 3870x2 gpu....using Fusion, god knows its faster then hell but i think i need to upgrade to a even faster 4870x2 card .... even thou its not much faster than the one im using now. But in short all these programs are imo based around the 4 series and 750sb systems.... AHHH a few more weeks and me have a new mobo to play with

I scored around 200 points more with just basic mode. What mode were you using? I have a 48xx series card BTW.

i can load expert mode but 10min later i get the bsod... i just use advanced and it seems to work good

expert mode crashes right away for me. Advanced loads, but it crashes during the run. I gotta try basic with the Phenom on all four cores now.

Gosh...I'm sitting here reading all these posts in the 9850 and 9950 OC threads while paying off my parts and counting down the days until I can run some benchmarks of my own. I could try with my Atlon 800Mhz but the only screenshot you guys will get is of CPU-Z telling me something we all already know...I'm obsolete!!!

Good news though, I picked up my CM690 today, brought the owner's manual to work with me (so I have it) and got home and stripped it naked!!! Gettin' ready for some paint modding while I pay off the rest.

Major thanks to CP, Fullinfusion, Kenkickr, AphexDreamer, servermonkey, jbunch07, Mussels, Kei, eidairaman1 and H82LUZ73 (in no particular order) and also to all those I forgot mention for the contributions made on this forum to make my first major build a success. I'm a hardware junkie now thnaks to all you folks and glad to be a part of the TPU community!

I agree with full bro, seeing people come in here and then after doing the research and all actually seeing them do a build themselves based upon what they were able to read up themselves and all the advise and answers you get from forum members, it really makes you proud to know you contributed to that. I really think me personally have came a long way in these forums as far as helping and being active in a way that it'll help everybody. Thanks again bro and you know you can count on us dude!!!! Good luck!!

I read in the OC forums that you should do your research before you ask questions. I thought I did. And I did. I came close to a good build. My research took me to TPU. I requested opinions and as a resullt, I got a good build ahead of me. TY All and especially you CP! I am now in a position to contribute and ask more questions when I run into a block. I trust you guys! (are there any gals that understand?)

Yes bro, doing your research is the best way to get a successful build. Well don't thank me especially, although I have helped you a lot personally, I must also say that a lot of the things I have helped you with I have also learned from other members in here, like fullinfusion, mussels, etc etc, no particular order and of course there is many more of you like the all might "Kei" and his legendary Phenom 9850 thread. But its good to know you trust us man, we won't let you down, mark my word on that one

CP, I've decided that you are a step above me. But I'm aiming to be the first to get an AM3

Well before I go AM3 i want to give a shot at the AM2 Phenom II.

Depending on what I see the AM3 chips do then I will get one, my board is AM3 ready so I just need the chip itself along with the ram.

One thing though, the AM2 Phenom II is going to be a 125w TDP chip. THe AM3 phenoms are going to be a 95W TDP, so that means damn good clocks at low low voltage!!!

So from the looks of it the AM3 chips should be damn good, but Ill try the AM2 one first, I wouldn't be able to resist not buying it anyways

I plan to get the Phenom II 940 the same day it is released hopefully as I already have the money for it, I just gotta keep an eye out for them to be available and order it, and hopefully if I do, you will be seeing a thread created very soon

For freaking sure! The Phenom II 940 looks awesome and who knows what the AM3's will bring about. I'll let you have fun with the Phenom II 940. This is a big build for me CP. I'll post benchmarks. 3D mark my word!

Yes sir, and this might be the time where we can actually clearly woop some Intel ass, not smack talking but you get my idea.


Hey Chaotic, check out this thread I created. If you notice in the scoreboard, the Q6600's can't finish the benchmark quicker than me clock for clock, the only ones ahead of me are clocked a lot higher. Interesting stuff heh?

http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=77369


here is the scoreboard so you can see it here:

This is what the Quad Core scoreboard looks like now:


I marked my run Red, and the matching Q6600's clock for clock in blue, notice the slower time. Hey Brad, what do you have to say about this dude? Even your run at 3.1 GHz is quicker, than the Q's at 3.2???

Of course, maybe the Q's don't do good in this benchmark, but so far this is the benchmark that really puts chips where they need to be, unlike super pi where a pentium 4 does better than a overclocked phenom !!

Quad Core

1. Jupiter - Core i7 920 3800 MHz - 6.988 sec.
2. CrAsHnBuRnXp - Xeon x3350 3800 MHz - 10.601

Got my phenom for a couple of weeks ago
Haven't been overclocking since my amd xp3000+ for God knows how many years ago.

This thread really made me get back on the horse,
I added my wPrime score in the other thread.

Can't wait for the times to drop
