[Assassin48]

First off i'am not using the Asus 79-t mother board i'am using a Foxconn a79a-s can not tell you what Volts to use on your NB. The foxconn board not the same i use 1.95v on my NB and 1.35v HT to make 2500 NB & HT prime stable here some screen shot of mine .Now just becuse most of Asus guys can not do it dosen't mean it don't work. Maybe you should have gotten the Foxconn board instead .

not sure where this is from but nice overclock,I just want him to try the multi at 15.5 to see if it runs at stock volts at 3.1 gig.

So he will have

fsb 200
cpu volts at 1.25
ht at 10x =2000 mhz
ram at 800

Oh and the NB at stock 1.30v

Well on my old DFI board i try the auto clock didnt go that well so i stop using it.I have not try it on the foxconn board . I don't have a 9950BE i'am using a early 9850BE i got the frist week they came out on new egg. It dosen't over clock the same as the 9950 do . My 9850 hates multi like all HT (FBS) to get it to over clocks . My highest stable over clock is 3.2 mhz but i got to run 1.53v on the cpu to do it . The NB & HT is set at 247 mhz cpu was 13.0x or (A) for Foxconn cpu multi. This is all using vista-64 bit as the OS .

Sorry H82LUZ73 i reread your post and i see you were talking about the Theinquirer and not about my NB & HT posting sorry man i should have readed it better . But for what ever reason the 79-T dosen't seem to like higher NB with HT link speed for a lot of the ASUS guys . I'am not sure if it the board or the fact that most you are running 9950BE and maybe it the cpu that don't like it .

I think it is a little of both .Mine run`s fine until it gets over 2350mhz then hard locks,Also I never did try to up the NB volts .Maybe ASUS knew the PII`s would not have the HT bus speed at 2000 so they left us some head room from stock multi`s.

my 9850 at 3.6 GHz

[Squark]

Stupid HDT-S1283 doesn't fit and it blows the wrong way

What a waste of money

Sweet this means it cost the same as the 9950BE did 1 month ago

CP
I like the overclock on your old 9850BE cpu 2400 NB & HT link speed .That just make me think maybe the 9950BE just don't like HT (FBS) and are more of a multi X for there over clocks kind of cpu .

yeah bro, I maybe just don't have a great 9950, but my 9850 was an amazing chip. I wish I can have it back, you have no idea.

late December Early January, but you never know if it can get pushed back dude.

Well I really don';t know what killed it, I was at 3.6 GHz so maybe it just was not a strong chip, never fed it more than 1.5v

 

[Assassin48]

who would win
Phenom 940 3.0ghz vs Core i7 940 2.9ghz?

I am thinking Core i7. i don't think AMD has done it just yet.(but i hope they have)

 

[Chicken Patty]

I agree with POS, plus i7's have 8 threads which helps them tremendously in benchmarks.

 

[Assassin48]

Maybe ph2 beat the i7 miracles happen you know

plus its a good price/performance since i wont have to do an entire new build

the Phenom II could have a chance at it with the i7 920 on 4 threads not on 8. On 8 forget about it.
