na bro Im just asking to be moved up the ladder bro.... Till kei gets a AM3 board I;ll leave him alone lol... but really this CH III is really a different cat to clock bro! The voltages are my problem... AM2 vs AM3.... Today id chose the AM2 but no.... the memory benchmark in Everest Spanks the shit outta Kei's run...
Tonight I was sooooooo close to buying an ASUS 790GX board (what they had in the store)...I mean like close as in having it in my hand with 3 minutes til closing time lol. If they had had a 4Gb kit of DDR3 in stock that was at a 'normal' price I would be on full AM3 at this very moment.
All they had DDR3 left were a few 2Gb kits and a 4Gb Patriot Viper kit though that was $134 which is not what I'm looking for. I honestly nearly bought the 2Gb Corsair kit they had for $76, but I just can't see myself going back to 2Gb for any length of time...that and I would've sold that ram in less than a week anyway lol.
Once I'm on a full AM3 set I will absolutely be going for a sub 9 second run with my 955!
I was just messing around bro
DDR3 rules dude
Merry Chirstmas to you and your family bro
Hell yea it does, when I look at my Everest results I smile.....and cry my eyes out looking at the difference in values between mine and Full's runs lol. Even when I had things up to 1221Mhz DDR2 it's still not on the same level.
I can however do 3Ghz northbridge on my processor even on this board.
I ran it for a while last night (1.30v) and didn't run into any problems yet. No idea if it will go higher yet or how much voltage it would take to get 100% stable, but the fact that it even does it that high on an AM2+ board is amazing!
Now I need someone to buy my AM2+ board and ram to cover the cost (or close) of me picking up the AM3 board/ram.
