My Ugly PC Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Hey, did you guys hear about the FX-60 coming out sometime in January? Dual core @ 2.6GHz stock. Knowing the FX line it should be 1mb L2 cache per core. Wouldn't it be awsome if some of those chips found their way to the Opteron line. Hey, a guy can dream can't he.......

tatts Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 imo the fx60 is a waste of space, for the price you may aswell just get a X2 4800, who ever buys one only does it because he either knows no better or he just wants to brag. as for opterons, ive sold a few of mine now so not many results from me as my x2 @ 2.7ghz beats my opty @ 3ghz in everything and only cost me £120 :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatts Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Thats why you get a dual core opty... i was going to but the 165 is £250 & 170 is £300 and not many places here have stock (i waited a fortnight for a 170) but then come across the x2 for £120 and not looked back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapty Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 What are the temps you guys get with your opteron 146 - 148's I'm at 57 max load with 1.57 vcore in bios with my Big T which just takes the piss in my opinion as my X2 is max load of 45 at 1.65vcore with 2 cores I have reaplied the thermal paste twice now to no affect. I'm useing Geil Thermal Paste I also have Akaska thermal Paste to which I have never used, I have'nt left it 100 hours to settle, tempted to buy a watercooling or phase what do you guys advise is phase a good long term investment? No As5 :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatts Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 AS5 is crap anyway. more than likely youve got a bad contact with your ihs but its your choice if you remove it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapty Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 mm Big F&*cking Heatsink on my core think I'll pass on that one I would love to remove it but the hsf is just to heavy to, is it worth taking the leap to phase or water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

supershanks Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Where abouts did you get your opty? :confused: u a talkin' t me :shake: Scan International 148 appeared in stock Wednesday. (& went :confused: ) but @ least i managed to snaffle 1. Started out @2750 then Having trouble running 1:1 > 255, 2750 = 250x11 is ok but even after adjusting read preamble & Max Asynch struggling 4 more. Was getting fretful until I used the divider 9:10 (a 1st 4 my g-skill) Happy now i got to 3k at a low vcore - Am pretty happy now there's a lot more i can do.
