    AMD CPU Black Edition: What does that mean to me?

    non BE processors are overclocked by turning up the front side bus frequency, resulting in other parts being overclocked as well... because the entire motherboard has to be in sync with the fsb. the ram will get overclocked, the northbridge... etc BE processors have an unlocked multiplyer...

    Did i set my vcore correct, or is this too much?

    i have it stable at 3.41 with just the +50mv. its at 1.34 volts. last night i left it at 3.5ghz and 1.34volts and this morning it was alittle glitchy in itunes so i set it back to 3.41. what do you think, should i push it to +100mv and set it back to 3.5, or try to push more or anything...

    Did i set my vcore correct, or is this too much?

    not too bad eh? finally got a processor that can feed my gtx275 (720 mhz oc) going to run amd overdrive since my bios only lets me do 7% overclock. hopefully i can push to 3.4 or so, its running darn cold at 3.0ghz im excited!

    so i have a dual core phenom 2 x4? WTH

    my comp is only reading 2 of my 4 cores. the device manager is the only instance where the 4 come up, but dxdiag says 2 cores, task manager says core 0 and 1, but the computer reads it as a phenom 2 920 x4 newest bios version, just downloaded the newest chipset drivers. whats going on?

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    yay it will be here in a few hours!

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    well im hoping it will do me better than just more multitasking, im currently bottlenecked by my cpu, my graphics card is alittle choked. im hoping to really release its fury with this x4!

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    im hoping so. i love amd's price/performance ratio. but if they dont compare, and id spend roughly 200 more for a better processor and mobo than i would on a new amd chip and mobo... then so be it. intel will have me sold

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    no you see my next upgrade i hope to be whatever the next generation of phenoms are. so it will be awhile anyways

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    well, i ended up getting it. i wasnt worried on upgrades, ddr2 1066 is cheap and my board supports it. that will be my next upgrade. by the time i do a significant upgrade, i was planning on upgrading the processor anyways so... lets hope im satisfied with the results! wish me luck haha

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    yes but i figured why not get an x4 while i can afford it?
  18. BigSteve702

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    nah i dont plan on factoring that into this. i have the money to buy it and im prepared to, but only if i will see a significant change with my same system otherwise. i also plan to overclock.

    will the phenom 2 x4 upgrade be worth it?

    as of right now im limited on money, but i can JUST afford this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103472 the reason that interests me is im sitting with a 3.34 ghz 6400+, but my bored will support am3 but that one is am2+ so i can be sure it will work good. Im stuck...

    dual core vs single core

    dont forget the weight of the water and the act of it being forced through the two smaller hoses, you'd get more of a jet stream out of the two separate smaller hoses... showing the dual-cores ability to push smaller data faster : this hose deal is fun. and overclocking would be like getting...
