good find weiman.

This sorta stuff is good for people who do work more than gaming. Or any gaming at all.

I think I'll go for one of those sooner or later. The price may drop even more. And faster video encodes!!! woot...

The things cost 1/10 of an FX60 - you're seriously tellings us you wouldn't risk at 80£ processor to get a few months out of it at stupid speeds, and instead you'd buy a £720 processor and not overclock it just for the warranty?

Some people are idiots.

This processor is going to be proven to be extremley useful in the future, I'm planning on buying two myself.

is the 4.1 100% stable? I highly, highly doubt it. you'll prolly fry it in the first month. Did it mention what kind of cooling system it had?



Stock up to 3.32, then a Zalman CNPS9500. Water-cooled at 4Ghz.

But yeah, cool stuff.

TYTYTYTY cookie.

@ otaku, video cards are more important to frames then processors. I get 30 frames now, from the benchmarks, IF (keyword) a conroe worked in my system I would get 39 frames. but thats not possible.

This is exactly what has been going on through the entire thread, and it's not the first time either.
You come to us for advice..you just spell out what you want to get, and then ask us if it is okay, and we have to explain why it isn't. That's the world upside down.. If you would just say 'hey guys, I have an X amount of money, what should I buy?' Then this would be over in 2-3 posts, not 2-3 pages.

They tested it on FEAR.

I like the part where they Prime95 it for 48 hours. Oh wait..................


Yeah I can take a screenshot of my proc at 3003mhz and say "LOL 3GHZ I PWN UR MOM" but that doesn't mean jack shit when it's the fifth time I've tried to open up paint and save it before windows blue screens.

Overclocking is, and forever will be, bullshit unless it's 100% stable.

Tomshardware is a very reliable source of information - if they say it's stable, then there's a 95% chance they've tested it over a long period with a burn in tester.

Intel makes RAM!?!?!

ive actually had very good luck with Intel motherboards. they dont, obviously, support the best gaming features - however they are rock solid stable boards, and are surprisingly fast compared to the competition

I figure, even if I fried like 3 of these processors, it would be a good investment, considering the price of a high powered processor it would be worth it icon_razz.gif

I'm happy with my AMD Opteron 165 Clocked to near FX-60 speeds (guaranteed with CCBWE steppings, almost all of them in stock at NCIX.com). Stock Heatsink and fan, no voltmods, and uses a $85-90 Asrock motherboard, the 939Dual-sata2.

Plays oblivion like a crazy out of control gouraud shaded cube on a 3DFX card. That means silky smooth. I don't play oblivion though.

BRING ME CNC3!
