    AMD Phenom X3 710 --> X4

    probably any aftermarket cooler you can find would be better than the stock. I pulled the stock cooler out that came with the 720 and thought there had been a mistake, I havn't seen such a cheap stock hs for probably over 5 years. I used the stock one that came with my amd x2 6000+, during...

    Phenom X3 720 Build

    Memory Standard DDR2 1200 / 1066 / 800 (Whether 1200 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used) since your buying new ram, I would of went with the highest speed look for ddr2 1066 with 5-5-5-15 timings

    I have the parts picked out, what do you think?

    the e8500 will hold the gtx 285 back in games. I ran benchmarks with the vcard and my X3 720 starting from the stock 2.8 all the way to a 3.6 OC with 3dmark06 and my video scores increased to about as high as a single card can get or is as listed there. On a e8500 OC'd to 4 MHz the GTX 285...

    Building My Affordable Dream System

    I wouldnt waste a dime on a 9800gt for physics, I wouldnt use any card for physics, those 2 285's in SLI is more than enough for any game there is. I wouldnt waste time and money on having multiple harddrive, I would get one large fast drive and not have to worry about raid setup. I...

    I have the parts picked out, what do you think?

    I would reconsider and not get that e8500, its priced at $190 and the motherboard is $135. the X3 720 is faster core for core in games, has a third core and is priced at $145 and you can find a good board for $109. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...819103649&Tpk=x3%20720...

    Windows 7 gaming

    every game I have played in DX10 mode runs slower than DX9 EXCEPT FC2, that seems to be the only game that makes sense of DX10. whenever I read up on DX10 I was always under the impression that its supposed to have better looking visuals and utilize more cpu and other resources so the game...

    RMA for fun and profit!

    this goes both ways, customers try to get freebies by doing this or that but those same customers also buy products that are dead out of the box, or they dont work like their supposed, over heating... etc.. then you have to go through the hassle of a customer service rep/technical support person...

    AMD Phenom X3 710 --> X4

    I was considering getting a e8500 setup a few months ago before phenom II's were released and IM saying Im glad I didnt. im saying reviewers compare the x3 720's price/performance ratio to e8400 cpus and im saying the amd one is less of a bottleneck on the gtx285 than an e8500 which is a step...

    AMD Phenom X3 710 --> X4

    I waited on my upgrade and went with this cpu, before the phenom II's came out I was considering switching over to intel to get the e8500, im glad I didn't! I just got my gtx 285 card today and did some testing and I see with the x3 720 it does not hold this card back like the e8500 does, at...

    i7 920 vs. 940

    "damages caused by overclocking will void manufacturers warranty"? maybe that scares people away from getting the most out of their moneys worth, hell idk. OC'ing is simple, especially with cpus that have unlocked multipliers. The hard part (which isnt really that hard) is making sure your case...

    i7 920 vs. 940

    you say no overclocking but with money you could save you could pick up an aftermarket cooler, spend a couple hours searching these forums and seeing what other peoples settings are for a mild overclock of 400-600mghz and still have more than $200 left over. but if you have money to burn for...

    Please !

    download "CPU-Z", load it up and check under the "memory" tab, that will show you what your frequency and timings your ram is running at currently. Next, click on the "SPD" tab and that will show what you ram should be running at. But like Schmide asked, did you do a fresh install of...

    Which CPU/Board/Video? : $300 budget

    I would choose either the PII X3 710 or 720 OR the e8400 both seem to be about the same in price and performance but with the PII you get an extra core. And im not sure the price difference on the motherboards they both use but I would think you could probably find a cheaper AM2+ board rather...

    Need little assistance

    you could try loosening your memory timings a bit, and/or keeping the ram at 1:1 ratio, or whatever ratio to keep it under or around 800mhz, you may be jacking your ram speed up with the high fsb and that might be what is locking up.

    System locking, losing video

    sounds like it could be the video card or motherboard. load it up and use hardware monitor or any temp monitoring app and watch the temps. take the video card out and use another one (or onboard video) and see if problem goes away.

    AMD Phenom II X3 -> X4 users, Unite!

    its pretty shitty for amd to ship their new cpus with coolers that are not as good as x2 coolers but instead they just ship coolers that "are good enough" to get by. I guess they figure because their new 45nm technology and running at 95W, they run much cooler so they can get away with shipping...

    AMD Phenom II X3 -> X4 users, Unite!

    I heard the X3 720's cooler isnt all that great. so Im wondering what coolers you guys are using and what are your load, idle and ambient temps? the fan that came with my x2 6000+ actually got an excellent review, its considered to be better than a lot of the aftermarket coolers at its time...
