    Upgrading from 939 to AM2 for $170...worth it?

    You can do it for a lot cheaper then $250. The 3600+ Brisbane has been doing 3.0Ghz no pblm on the TForce 550 mobo, and the Super Talent DDR2 667 has been OCing to 800-850 Mhz (DDR2 800-850) without any problems. So for under $200 you can buy the new hardware and it should do 3.0Ghz for...

    X2 3600+ or E4300

    I agree with Marc, just do the upgrade to the X2 3600+ now. If you find you need more power it can be easily overclocked to 2.7-3.0Ghz. The new K10 Agena (quad) and Kuma (Dual) cores will be out by the end of the year. There is a good chance they will spank the current C2D's. The Agena and...

    Is AMD X2 5600+ just a bad overclocker?

    3.0G to 3.2G is about tops for an X2 on air cooling. Good news is that you can buy a $70 X2 3600+ brisbane core and have just as good a chance getting it to 3.0-3.2Ghz as the more expensive AMD X2 cpu's. Moral of the story is if you are going to OC, buy the lowest speed core (least...

    Looking to upgrade to C2D setup.

    I am an AMD fan, so i am not an expert on C2D setup's, but I think Intel is releasing their new bearlake mobo's, P35/X38 pretty soon. I would suggest you wait a few weeks and get one of these because they are supposed to also support the next gen C2D's (Penryn). It is not known...

    Best 2 overclockable setups: 1 AMD and 1 CORE2Duo

    Every article that i have read with leaked information about the AM2+ K10 Bacelona/Agena/Kuma cores have all said that they will be backward compatable with the AM2 mobo's and forward compatable with the AM3 mobo's (DDR3) due out in mid 2008. This means that Barcelona/Agena/Kuma will work with...

    Best 2 overclockable setups: 1 AMD and 1 CORE2Duo

    Something to consider if you are on the bubble trying to decide which budget system to purchase is the future upgrade capabilities with the two platforms: The AMD X2 3600 with an AM2 mobo should have a decent upgrade path because the next gen CPU (K10 Barcelona) from AMD is a quad core...

    Bottlenecking

    You should be fine with the X2 @ 2.4G with the 8800GTS. Hold off on the CPU upgrade itch for another 6 months and then you can drop an Agena (quad core) or a Kuma (dual core) in that AM2 socket and kick the pants off the C2D's and Penryn cores. The Agena and Kuma are the Next Gen desktop...

    Best 2 overclockable setups: 1 AMD and 1 CORE2Duo

    I think Nvidia recommends a minimum 400W Power Supply that provides at minimum 26Amps on the +12V for their 8800GTS series. You should be OK with the XCILO 500W.

    How much to sell x2 4200 for (used)?

    Considering you can buy brand new retail box ones with HSF for $189 I think you did well getting $145 for a used one. I think you got lucky and I would not excpect used ones to sell for that much!!!!

    So for just games, will an A64 3000+ overclocked do fine?

    3000+ is fine. It will OC to 2.4-2.6Ghz and do it while using PC3200 RAM. Ram Dividers are a A64's friend. You don't need high speed RAM to OC A64's. Read Zebo's great thread on this subject, Expensive high speed ram only buys you maybe 1-3% better performance in real apps and games, no...

    Should I buy a x2 4200+ or an x2 4600+?

    Your single core 3500 runs at 2.2Ghz stock. The X2 4200 runs at 2.2Ghz stock, and the 4600 runs at 2.4Ghz stock. So if you are not running apps that take advantage of Dual cores, or if you are not multitasking, you will not see much of a differance. One nice thing you can do with dual core...

    Monarch has dropped prices on 939 and AM2 cpus, nice prices

    Yeah, The X2 3800 uses the aluminum HSF that ships with all the regular A64's. It looks like S939 X2 3800's are going for $162 and X2 4200's are going for $189. Definetely worth the extra 27 bucks to me to go with the 4200 so you get the better copper heat pipe HSF and extra...

    Opty 165's are 9x, you can't get 11x out of them, only 9x or lower. That said 2.2G is a bad OC for the 165, 2.6 G and higher is almost always quaranteed if you know what you are doing!!

    Can memory controller problems kill RAM?

    I never lapped a HSF or cpu myself, so i am no expert, but from your pictures it sure looks like sombody took sand paper to the first two cpu's. You may be right, these don't look new to me, the cornors definetely look like they were sanded down, possibly from someone trying to lap the surface...

    AMD retail package and heatsink

    Some people take the thermal pad off and use AS5, but IMHO the thermal pad they include with the HSF does a good job and there really is no need to remove it and use AS5.

    Why can't AMD make 3.8GHz processors?

    Fraggable, Just want to make sure you are aware of the " x 1.6 " rule. You multiply a A64 by 1.6 to find out the approximate P4 equivelant. So a 2.4Ghz A64 (like a Venice core 3800+) is about the same performance as a P4 at 3.8Ghz (2.4Ghz x 1.6 = 3.8Ghz). That is why AMD calls...

    Athlon Sweet Spot?

    Great point!!! In order for the Optty to take advantage of a ubber mobo's high HTT potential and reach 2.6-3.0Ghz OC range would require not using the stock HSF. On the other hand the X2 3800 will reach 2.3-2.5Ghz just fine with its stock HSF still keeping load temp under 60*C and only...

    Athlon Sweet Spot?

    The OP has stated that he is not an extreem OCer and as such probably does not own an extreem OCing mobo like a DFI that is capable of high stable HTT's. In this case the 2.0G/10x multi of the X2 3800 is better suited for the OP then the 1.8G/9x Multi of the Oppty 165. If he does not OC...

    n00b builder, X2 3800+ just arrived

    Most people using the Stock HSF have been able to easily OC to 2.4Ghz with load temps under 57*C. If you are running stock speed you will definetely be fine (do you really think AMD would ship these $300 CPU's and not provide adequate cooling for them? That is one sure way to go out of...
