muah ha ha ha!!!

now if only i had a bios that recognises the chip!

Chimerical · 15 Jul 2009 at 15:15

I don't understand :confused:

Nice

i guess amd chips dont work in nuclear powerplants or nuclear submarines

mmmmmmm, TASTY

Im seriously jellous guys.
So how long untill you have that thing running at 5 billion gigahertz rjk.

It's a very limited edition chip, designed to overclock much further than standard phenomIIs. It's not mean't for retail.

7Ghz anyone?

Tried getting one of these but AMD claim they only have a couple in the whole of the UK. Would have been nice to see what i could have got out of it.

Who knows what the future holds. Nice chip you got there.

Just don't accidentally bend the pins.

Correct there is only 20 world wide. 10 have made it to overclocking sites like our selves the other 10 are for the press.

lucky sods - who's got dibs to play with it first?

My money is on rjkoneill - he must be chomping at the bit to clock that thing

Very cool, i am envious

Lucky B******s!

Looking forward to seeing some results!!!!!

It uses 200W at peak usage. It is a beast

rjk · 15 Jul 2009 at 15:39

i am getting round to it

its exciting but most board partners dont have bioses for it
it shows up as an opteron

in early testing - i got it to 4.1ghz on stock voltage

thats over 100% oc on stock volts

Fatboy needs to get me some sub zero cooling

VaderDSL · 15 Jul 2009 at 15:39

I reckon that'll clock phenomenally

Can't wait to see benchmarks.

rjk · 15 Jul 2009 at 15:43

here is my stock voltage overclock

105%+ overclock

the potential of this chip is outrageous

this was done on an MSI 790FX-GD70 using the stock bios

i used a titan fenrir with a delta fan on it

it was stable

this was achieved in around an hour after work with Yewen's assistance

FaceplantSi · 15 Jul 2009 at 15:49

WOOF!

Interestingly there is one of these for sale on a well known auction site - being sold for charity I understand so they got permission for the sale.

In a way it shows the potential Phenom II has if they further refine their processes. Make me a little more comfortable choosing phenom II over i7 besides it being the cheaper option.
