nice.... what are your temps using it?

 

[Neo4]

oh i will.... just waiting for the 955 AMD cpu to hit the canaidian newegg site.... just kinda stumped on ordering Ram.... any body have an idea on what to get? money isn't an object...
Just wanna do it right this time with Memory.

Corsair is worth the extra cash in my book. Never failed for me.

I like AMD Processors, but i always prefer NForce Chipsets and GeForce Graphics cards!

gotta have my SLI, pound for pound NVidia produces the most powerful GPUs right now.

3 Way SLI with GTX 285 is in my future.

As far as I know there's no way to tell the temperature of the Fet area unless you use a hand held IR thermometer. Of course, just reaching in and touching it will give some idea.

I buy AMD all the way but even a fool would have to admit that NV makes the best GPU's.

well ATi had the best with the 4870x2 and now NVidcrapia is now better but Ati's new gpu and upcoming Nv's version of PysicsX is going to SToMp the yard bro!!!!

Before AMD was making there own chipsets, before they owned ATI, NVidia made the absolute best AMD Chipsets. And that still holds true today with the NForce 750A and 780A. Both are TRI/Quad SLI Ready, and they support the full potential of the processor with room to grow.

NVidia is in the design room too! I hope they get some better competition from AMD so prices go down! Intel wants AMD dead, but even Intel Fanboys should cheer for AMD to get strong again so the Pricing on there top stock goes sub $1500, where as AMDS baddest chip is sub $300

AMD needs to build up some whoopass cans in the FABs and then go bathe Intel for a little while....

True that! nForce 4 was also a pleasure to work with on s939.

i believe the mobo temp gives a rough reading of over all tmps of even the Mofets....
Plus i agree with Corsair sticks.... i sold a set of killer xms 800mhz rods to buy Shitty 1066 MHz Tracers.... What a bad decision

Ive Been on NForce since the Beginning! And i have been on GeForce Since Rage 128 PCI Died! lolol

Yes that board

I think it would OC like a CHAMP

I'm SOOOOO ready to say FUCK YOU INTEL/NVIDIA


NO MORE PALiT bring on the AMD/ATi MIX


I need a new sig that says FUCKYOU INTEL/NVIDIA lol but not the FUCK YOU in those words LOL

So does that mean you'll actually ship my cpu back to me? lol.

Maybe you got a bad batch, My buddys dad works at Intel here in Arizona, he uses ES chips like candy and gets a ton of headroom on his 1066 Tracers with a 9770 ES

one thing sweet about Nvidia..... almost daily driver updates..... ATI, once a month and with all their time still kick out shity drivers

dont get me wrong.... these tracers run not to bad with the PII 940.....Using the 9850BE was the shits on the tracers on the same Asus M3A79-T mobo

Corsair is overpriced for what you get. They barely ever use the good ICs anymore. G.Skill, Super Talent, Crucial and Transcend all give you more for your money.

Wile.... what kind of marks you getting now with your 4870x2?

I just meant that AMD has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to hob nobbing with game developers, driver's, thermals and energy consumption. Still won't buy one because I think Nvidia is a crappy company that treats it's customers like well, crap. Having said that the Riva 128 and succeeding video cards single handedly put 3d PC gaming on the map and for that I'm eternally gratelful. Still won't buy one.

I always hear from CD about Tracer Red's..... what do you think?.... i found a site that sells them

I still run an Epox with an nVidia NF4 Ultra in another box and it's a great chipset. In fact, with a dual core 939 pin CPU and PCIe video card it will hold it's own with anything today.

They both kick out shitty drivers all the time. nVidia updates too much, IMO. We don't need a release for every single little tweak for God's sake. At least roll a few up into a release. And they don't release nearly enough WHQL drivers. Those come with months at a time in between sometimes.

And ATI releases hotfix drivers in between their monthly WHQL releases upon occasion, especially to fix any issues with new games. Although they have been on a bad streak. The last 4 months have been shit for me.

Wile.... what kind of marks you getting now with your 4870x2?

Haven't tested OCed settings, as I've been having issues with my Windows install. I need to reinstall. 3750 on the cpu, and stock on the cards got my 18300 so far.

just ran a Mark06 run..... way better than the 9850 cpu.... oh and im using CCC 9.2 drivers not bad for a ATI 3870x2 hey

I haven't run 06 yet. That was Vantage I was referring to. But yeah, that's damn good for a 3870X2.

 

[Neo4]

Nice score almost over the 20,000 barrier. Here's mine.

just discovered that on M3N-HT apparently Ganged memory yields better performance!

for me anyway?! pumped my 3dmark06 score 3-400 points.

and i got the NB to 2812mhz at 1.45V on the NB with cpu at 3700mhz @ 1.48V
