Or for 1/3 of the cost of your 4800+, you could have bought an opty 146 and hit 2.9Ghz - 3.0Ghz Bwa ha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed6dws Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I just have to ask you - how are processor prices at Sweden, or generally europe !? - Are they by any chance cheaper than in U.S. !? - what would you pay for the fx-60 chip for example in europe !?

walste Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I have alredy own a opty 146 that i run in 3000Mhz now i wanted to try the dual cores. The FX60 in sweden costs ca 1250 dollars i payed ca 830 dollar for my 4800+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasparov Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Hitting 2900mhz on air is very impressive, you had your hopes way too high for using air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I supose so, it´s my last opty 146 that makes my hope go to high on every processor, it was a hell of a oc. i guess i should be happy with 2800MHz on my new 4800+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thespin Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 What you (and I) should have bought is an X2 processor at the low end, like the X2 3800+, and OCed to 2700+ghz ... oh well ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But u are right, 830$ for 2800Mhz dualcore is to mutch, i sholud have buy the opteron 170 or 175 instedd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madian225 Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Hi There have been plenty of threads on this forum about the 4800+ dual core and what people have achieved and where they have managed to get up to before they hit the max and that has been in the region of 2.6 - 2.8. I did a lot of research before i got my 4800+ and knew what I wanted and what I was willing to 'put up with' in the process. I am assuming that you must have known the limits of this CPU before you purchased it and as such to say that you are disappointed at only being able to reach 2.8 on air is somewhat surprising. I am on water and so far the best that I have managed is 2.65 and I am happy with that as I know that would be in the right area. I am looking to try and get more but I am alos realistic about what i can possibly achive. Personally I would be very happy to achieve 2.8 on air and perhaps you should explain more throughly what you have done so far so those who are thinking of getting a 4800+ and will be using air can see what you have done. It may be useful to many people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep this new 4800+ no mather what, i can´t aford a new cpu for along time now. And as u say, 2800MHz is not bad on air.
