Phenom II Black Edition TWKR 42 Unveiled

what 1.44v on 2.0ghz , how much voltage they set to get 4.0ghz on air
 
One Word: NICE!
 
Thats...excessive...:laugh:

the msi gd70 has to be well insulated to the max, i have seen too many of them die even tho they were perfectly insulated

1.44v to hit 4ghz on air.


would people remember these chips are not made to run on air 24/7 they have been picked as high leak chips so that they can handle voltage better.

2ghz@1.44 is just a boot setting thats it.

chew* has killed alot of GD70's

i have always wondered why
 
Anybody have an idea how much this will cost? I've got a WC kit coming and I want to see if it'll handle this chip :rockout:

they wont go to retail sale and AMD has valued them at $999ea
 
Seriously?

yes seriously these chips are not made to hit retail they don't fit in a thermal package they want to sell not to mention they can't be warrantied they are the chips in the silcone that will run hotter and will bleed off more voltage they are not made to be lifelong chips.
 
Honestly this looks to be a VERY poor offering in terms of their TOP TOP end overclockers/tweakers chip, seriously, really really disappointing.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY more value, fun and performance with an i7 920.
 
I understand the rest but if they wont sell them to the public who are they going to sell them to?
What are they going to go in?

they are for top overclockers

they want to show what amd can do
 
Oh I see, well thats somewhat cool :laugh:
 
I know thats why I said "somewhat" lol. cdawall you have any PII's your lookin to get rid of?
 
Wouldn't mind getting my hands on the CPU and playing with it a bit!
 
Really how?

lol I was thinking the same thing. Since there are only 100 total most likely all of these will just be sent out to reviewers and a few others as gifts. A few may end up on ebay but they will probably go for crazy high prices.
 
You lucky animal!
 
But how can I believe you?
