I'm using 1.55v on my X2 3800+ and i don't get higher temps than 40C at full load (using TT BT, no IHS).
I can't seem to get past 2.7GHz though, should i use more voltage? :)
holy ****** that's cheap.. now if only they had a costco in the netherlands lol
Think i would survive swimming across the atlantic ocean with an AL2416WD strapped on my back?
I think the D version has a DVI-D port. there seem to be two versions..
This screens looks awesome to me. Just have to be careful you're getting the one with the DVI-D port.
And i'd like a black one better than a silver one..
Here's a link...
Serious, just another board isn't going to do anything for performance. The memory controller is built into the cpu and performance doesn't really depend on the board anymore.
All the things you described which involve doing multiple things at the same time are indeed solved with a dual core...
If wish there were PCI-e only boards out there already, that would really stimulate all manufacturers to create pci-e devices. If there was one i would get it and just be stubborn and hold out till there are devices. I actually thought we would be getting 7 pci-e 16x slots, not just 2 fake 16x...
I wonder if it makes a difference to buy cards from companies who do speed binning. I kind of suspect that your chances of getting a good clocking card are better when you get one from a company that has only one model of the GTX, not OC versions and stuff.
I bet all the good chips at BFG go...
Sorry.. maybe i did get a bit too excited there ;) It's not a MUST or anything...
I've read somewhere that ncq really shows improvements when used with dual-core, and with single core it doesn't matter as much. But i'm having a hard time trying to find benchmarks to prove it because they are...
Looks good, i'm glad to see that you ended up getting the X2. You won't regret it :)
Let's see.. make sure you update the bios to support the X2, and i assume you're not going to overclock so install the X2 driver for cool&quiet (it also adds a little fix to the boot.ini file) I just wouldn't...
The 7700 heats up the air in the case, the 9500 more efficiently sends the heated air straight out of the case, so the air inside the case will stay cooler.
Besides if you got a case like the stacker you can put an empty hdd rack with 120mm fan right in front of it too :) For them this thing...
Why do people like the term independant memory controllers/channels here so much? Seriously it wouldn't help.
It would just limit the bandwidth that each core could use.
Seems like games get the time samples from different processors and get slightly different times.. making it seem more time has passed.. and the game advances the physics too much.
I'm looking to get two dual core AMD cpu's one for my server, and one for my main rig.
First i decided to get two X2 3800+ cpu's but then i saw reports of socked 939 dual core Opterons coming out soon.
Opteron 165 ( 1.8GHz 1024kb) $417
Opteron 170 ( 2.0GHz 1024kb) $unknown
Opteron...
Just to let you all know, i added the new Rev E core memory dividers to the Optimizer.
Not many of you will have these available in your bios but they are starting to become available in some newer bioses.
It's still untested so it's not guaranteed to be 100% correct.
Here's the new table...
Oh yeah, great idea.. and have it burn what? 400+ Watts 24/7 ?!?! I don't think so!
The area X2 owns the P-D in the most is power consumption, it's just amazing how the AMD dual core falls in between the single core 90nm and 130nm cores.
Have you seen the reviews of Xbitlabs? Most benches show a performance DECREASE with the dual core intel, even some multi threaded ones, yet there the X2 leaves everything in the dust.
If today you buy a Dell.... The force is definitely not with you! :D
Your memory speed should show up as 200 with your FSB @ 240 and a memory divider at 166.66
first calculate the integer idivider
10(multiplier) * 200(stock fsb) = 2000
2000 / 166.66(mem divider) = 12 (round this up if possible)
now to calculate your memory speed
10(multiplier) *...
I'm getting some people having trouble when they try to find their maximum memory speed while using a divider (stubborn ppl) or half multiplier.
When you use a divider or half multiplier, your memory is likely to actually run a little bit slower than it reports.
So when they find their...
9.5*245 / ceil(9.5*200 / 166.66 ) = 211.59 DDR423
What memory divider are you using?
edit: sorry, i was being a crackhead. I thought he was saying 380Mhz ram... which is obviously DDR380
Hmm what are your multiplier and memory divider? sometimes raising your multiplier will actually lower your memory speeds. And also some programs that report memory speed are wrong.
here's how you calculate it: ("divider" being the number like 200, 166, 150, 133 etc)
memclock = multi *...
I'd definitely go for socket 939, get a DFI Ultra-D and a Venice 3200+ (or a 3000+), keep your old ram for now and see how it goes. (shouldn't be much slower than with PC3200)
Then decide if you want to upgrade your ram as well, maybe wait with the ram and get it along with a dual-core...
You're dividing by the cpu frequency with a raised HTT. You should calculate the real memory divider from 10 * 200 / 166.66 which yields 12 exactly so no rounding up required
then you take your cpu frequency as it is with your raised HTT 251*10 / 12 = 209.16MHz :)
ok, it seems the memory speed is actually derived from the core frequency divided by an integer.
11*236 / 12 for example
In the bios the dividers available are totally different though
The real divider for 5:6(166) and an 11x multiplier is calculated by doing: (ceil means rounding...
