TimeMachine Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Winchester and Newcastle are out, which outdates the Sledgehammer core.Clawhammer is a 754 design anyway and winchesters are much better overclockers. Umm no, sledge and claws are always crazy oc'ers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonkey Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 not to insult your intelliegence gmf2010 but why are you getting the ABIT when everyone here recommands the MSI NEO2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregP24 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I donno if this is just a computer for general gaming/computing but I doubt hes gonna need every single fricking part to be overclocable. Thats just going way overboard. And who really wants to overclock everything when it works just fine the way it is. If he has the need he can overclock but otherwise I doubt he wants every single top notch overclocking part Dude, you attitude is way wrong. If it can't be OCed why buy it? Pushing parts far beyond spec is the name of the game. Who cares if an X800 XT pulls 12,800 3dmarks at stock speeds. I want to see a 6800NU do it! It doesn't matter if it works fine factory stock, I'm sure it does. But no computer is ever fast enough. They must be OCed!! I think you are at the wrong website, bro. This is OVERCLOCKERS CLUB not STOCK COMPS ROCK! Hey, TimeMachine, the clawhammers aren't known to OC well. It's the Newcastle and especially the Winchesters that OC well.

agentorange Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I agree, my clawhammer doesn't like to be past 2.3 without more than 1.6 volts. The advantage is that even a small increase adds quite a bit in benchmarks. 2 ghz of clawhammer is equal to 2.2 ghz of newcastle. Still, go with nForce4 ultra or SLI and either a 3200+ or 3500+ s939.

Can you back that up? That's the 1st time I've heard that. nf4 with FX-55 and dual 6800Ultras..........drool....................

Guest FxXP Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Winchester and Newcastle are out, which outdates the Sledgehammer core.Clawhammer is a 754 design anyway and winchesters are much better overclockers. Umm no, sledge and claws are always crazy oc'ers Umm, no, do your research. Have you seen a sledge hit 2.7GHz? I don't think so.

agentorange Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 "Athlon FX-53 @ 2.8ghz 4gb x800pro Athlon FX-51 @ 3ghz 4gb x800 xt" - that was taken from Big Red's sig. If you don't believe him then I'm sorry. It's as if everyone just suddenly decided to be really wrong a lot of the time. I've seen a bunch of bad advice in this thread, maybe I'm just not getting something. Do I have to back it up? What kind of question is that? AMD puts a s754 3200+ newcastle at 2.2 ghz while a s754 3200+ clawhammer is clocked at 2 ghz. This obviously means that the clawhammer has a 10% advantage over the newcastle. Why do you think fx's are hammers and not newcastles. The fx-55 is the most powerful AMD cpu and it's a clawhammer at 2.6. The fastest newcastle is at 2.4. AMD spends a lot of money to be right.

Guest FxXP Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Can everyone afford an FX? No. We are not making an FX system here, we are making an Athlon 64 system. 754 is going out the door, 939 is coming in and thats the way things are.

agentorange Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Yeah no kidding but you asked me to back up my claim on the clawhammer core. You must not read anyone else's posts: "Still, go with nForce4 ultra or SLI and either a 3200+ or 3500+ s939." - Me, in this thread.

Guest FxXP Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 (edited) The nForce4 is PCI-E and only benefits the 6800 SLi's, not the X800's. Whats the point of moving to it unless you want SLi? Its made for their own technology only and it is not really a benefit with a single PCI-E card. I didn't ask you to back up your claim on the FX as its not a cost effective processor for home use, GregP did.
