There are rumors that Bulldozer is coming now in September, you will have to do with your overclock for a while.

June 11; max 15 - where is it says the estimated release date moved to September? Link, but in the C5F thread here.

After long wait, AMD finally get its Bulldozer FX Processors Release Date Set on June 11

That's from March 17 2011. Wikipedia says - June 20th for 8130P & Q3 2011 for FX-8150P (8150P?). I am going for 8130P. June 11-20 will sort this out.

You didn't said what you think of my end of June LinX 4.04/4.06GHz test; what do you say - try or forget about it? AS5 is old news for me especially after what i saw the Indigo Extreme is capable of compared to AS5. If there will be Indigo Extreme for AM3/AM3+ - ace!!!!! I might actually try it on my current CPU. Need to check Indigo Extreme's site though to see if they'll develop one of those ETIs for AM3/AM3+ CPUs. ETI=Engineered Thermal Interface; deploying a Phase Change Metallic Alloy (PCMA). Check out how it works here: http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/inxtforamdam.html.

Yeah I've used it before and bahh it's not that great. I used Indego, AS5.. IC Diamond.. and now MX-4... MX-4 works the best for me and cheap!

We'll see fullinfusion, we'll see. Only way to find it out for real, is to find it out yourself, but thanx for info. As OC'er one would try any component, be it HSFs, TIMs, ETIs, CPUs, mobos, bunch of PC components; agree? Thanx nevertheless for tip.

 

[claylomax]

IC Diamond and Indigo Extreme are among the best but a bit expensive. I'm using Tuniq MX-3 but I always think that my heatsink is not sitting properly, it's an obsession.

 

[YautjaLord]

Indigo Extreme - true (atleast for me); IC Diamond - heard & saw somewhere in Web review & benchies on it, but don't remember how exactly it performed; also true that premium for Indigo is quite large compared to other TIMs; but what do you want: it's engineered thermal interface + it reflows instead of spraid in traditional TIM way. I might check it out - this stuff (Indigo Extreme) so far sounds ace for OC'ing, even though the premium is indeed larger than for any other TIM i know (excluding 32G MX-2 tube's price).

Got a new 555 BE with 1046DPM. Can't seem to find much on it was wondering if anyone knew anything about the DPM ones. Been lazy so have not got around to putting it in yet.

They flipped the server and client (desktops) launches. Guess they thought that the APU launches were going to good they could wait for the desktop.

MicroATX

You guys might remember me with the Gigibyte Micro Board (check specs). I have it stable and cool including mofsets and VRM's at 3.5. This with just a
Thermaltake Frio and open side. No case fans. What I am wondering if I use these heatsinks on my VRM and
Memory Controllers and get my new case which will have 5 fans. 2 front 140cc, 2 top 140 cc, 1 rear 140 cc. that I may be able to bump it to maybe 3.8 3.9 ?
Or do those little copper heatsinks work at all ?

Enzotech MOS-C10 C1100 Forged Copper Heatsinks onl...

Same here.. and my VRM's are water cooled.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

Same here.. and my VRM's are water cooled.

i somehow was inable to understand how that is related?

Nice, what block you end up using?

The topic of VRM cooling?

EK nickel/plexi.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

The topic of VRM cooling?

He used the MX-4 on his CPU, not his VRM... so could not understand how it was related to VRM cooling

 

[de.das.dude]

<- clickety

i blew my own mind. thanks twilyth for the RAM!

 

[erocker]

That isn't bad for DDR2, even with high latency. Are you able to lower your timings at all?

 

[johnnyfiive]

I may be picking up some parts to build up a budget AMD rig. OC bug is biting me again and it must be itched. [o_0]

The Maximum ATX spec is 12.6v... youre a good bit above it, with 12.7v.... im not sure how healthy this is for components, but my guess is, that the VRMs will suffer more due to it...what does it read, if you test the 12v rail with a multimeter?

had to leave for work. will try this sunday.
i will try increasing the NB clock too! i have made a cooler thats working awesome!!

cant help no money to buy a good PSU

i wouldnt even had these RAM if not for twilyth's kindness

 

[YautjaLord]

I have the same prob as de.das.dude: abso-f***in-lutely no ca$h; worse - i am completely broke. Only some minor things in stores, like cigs & XL. But the 4.0GHz OC & Webdesign thingy goin' good. OC is month+ stable without hickups at all. Wish i had Indigo Extreme cash, i would definetely go for 4.1GHz/1.46v CPU voltage.

 

[de.das.dude]

LOOK AT MY NB!

EDIT: slightly better


EDIT2: an a little more!

 

[MightyMission]

Can't see your nb in those links?
will it not boot @270x15?
I see you have 270x13.5 so your cpu-nb should be around 2.8-3ghz if you let it rise along with the fsb?
thats should be good for 4ghz if you can get your fsb to 270,my 945 will not stabilise any higher than 272(4.08ghz) but it will do 24/7@4ghz

 

[de.das.dude]

my 945 wont get stable beyond 3.6GHz

and NB multiplier was always 10.

i will post pics soon ,but cant do now as theres seems to be some uploading problem with my interne .

[GSquadron]

Add me too in this club pls!

Also, i would need a bit of help with overclocking
From what i have heard, the cpu pins get crappy if you o.c an am3 cpu
