it was petitioned back in

witchie I do know that in order to run the older chips like semperon 134's etc 790 ddr2 boards clocked way higher then 890 ddr3 boards. When I was using crosshair IV to run single core wprimes it was a dog pure mhz wise compared to an old gigabyte 790 board. I hope the new boards arent like this.

I could care less who makes what, I just want to bench the good stuff.

In this day of binning $500 GPU's for a few more Mhz, I'd probably drop $500 for a coldbug-free CPU/mobo combo to play in the 8ghz range - even if it's just for CPUZ.

Thansk for the heads up Al, I have not touched an Athlon since the 939 days .... :ohcrap:

May have to look in a different direction. Thought the 990FX would be the endall flagship for old and new .....

Have to do some reading on this, maybe holding for LGA2011 is a good idea, just looking for something to bench these days ......... :laughing:
My other hardware is wrapped up in a gaming rig.
Feeling the pain of college tuition these days ............................. :shock:

For locked multi chips, DDR2 will get you into the 100% OC Range, DDR3 boards tend to fall down around 50%.

saw that and was amazed... LHe seems to do amazing things though. though all the LHe records with the 955 got erased by LN2 users eventually.

All these numbers and acronyms make my head hurt. :Dizzy:

:P
