Looks pretty terrible if you ask me....

Cooler -OCZ vendetta 2
CPU - Phenom II 940
Ram - 2x2gb Mushkin redline
mobo - MSI K9A2 plat
video - 2x 4870, 4x4850 (installed right now is 1x 4870)
H/D - WD5000AAKS
PSU - Corsair HX1000
O/S vista ultimate 64bit

I have super pi runs done now and will do some 3dmark 06 in a few min

3dmark06 CPU scores are not too bad for judging the power of a CPU though...and clock for clock so far it's about 800 pts behind a similarly clocked q6600 ...which is already 2 generations old.

4.5ghz and upwards would be sweet

 

[gurusan]

not I. I'm into chasing GHz. Best way to get performance with today's software.

yeah the other links show it at least on par with the q6600 in 3dmark once the HTT is clocked properly

Why would you buy one regardless of reviews.... ?

940 4GHz user results

hmm....so it's showing a Phenom 2 at 4ghz, which requires nearly 1.6V, and looking at the 3dmark06 CPU score is still performing slower clock for clock than a q6600....

the HT link speed is 44% higher...that's a higher overclock than the cpu has....
