phenom x4 970t blck edtition

ZZZAC · 8 Mar 2011 at 19:14

Right, i may have just done something stupid, but i orderd a phenom x4

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....036645&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3114wt_905

it looks legit, but compared to the new amd bulldozers how do you think it will perform for the price i paid?, stock speed at 3.5ghz on a x6? and then potentail over clock to 4.3ghz or more stabley, i know it wont evan touch the sandy bridge 2600k?

just a thought, as i orderd about 10 minutes before i found out about the new Amd bulldozer chips

Did you not make a little mistake when you bought that dual xeon cpu system a month or two ago by not asking on here 1st? Same applies to this situation as it's personally not where I would have spent £140 odd on a new CPU, but it should be more than enough for anything either way.

The only thing i see as a mistake and would change now is spilling silver thermal compund onto the mobo and shorting therfore selling the cpus and building this x4/x6 system.

Can i not do my own thing on this forum without being judged and looked down at, for christ sake, whats the piont, i know i should nad could have asked for help, but there will be times when no ones there to help and you have to be independent.
i know the help is good to be there, but id rather learn myself, and gain the exepeerence than being told what i did wrong.

acording to my last build my psu is *crap* and you know what? after the ovp saved my 2 cpu's im not going to complain, and in my situation you wouldnt either

I would have bought it cheaper from a shop to be honest

But its a good CPU if you already had a AM3 board its a good buy, i personally would have got a X6 but it matters what it is you are using it for.

its the oem unreleased version, im getting a msi board that will unlock it to a x6 stock a 3.5ghz tehn overclock, to around 4ghz + mayby

i just find it hard to belive every time i post on this forum i get a load of **** in return li "ask first" and i want help, but i want help when i ask for it? there no piont telling me to do something elese after ive already done it, and in reality, its my build and its my choice, weather its yours or not you still dont have to critasise me as you currently are doing.
i asked a question yes, but then again i got a completely irelavent answer didnt i?

oh and to save the hassel of me explaining why dont you read the link, this is no standerd x4

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 17:01

i said i may of made a mistake, but i thought being smarter and knowing more than me you'd be able to look at the link i posted, and read in detail?
because half the people are asking things that are shown/explained in the link?
there giving me a 120 day warrenty, granted that would meen id have to post it back to hong kong, looking at their feedback i think im safe enough, he is a top rated seller with over 3400 buyers, and guess what, he only sells cpu's, check if you like but this is no B.S.

So to clear things up yes, it is a thuban, and i think it was canned before releese, they are cripppled 6 cores, with ebay buyer protection evan if it doesnt unlock, i can say the item is not as described, and recive a full refund.

but yes, its Garenteed otherwise a refund to unlock to a thuban 1705t x6 that runs stock speeds at 3.5ghz, witch i belive is the fastest x6?
also stability is garenteed.

for my motherboard, im going to get one of the msi 870 range maybe the fuision 870a, if i get a lucky bid, and yes they have support to unlcok cpu core from x4 to x6

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 18:12

^^^zosma???^^^
whats zosma?
anyway, yeah, you cant get it retail, thats why i just went on about reading before yo try and critisise.
evan if its not 24 hour stress tested i cant realy complain, tops im going to have it on is for 14 hours, and i would never hit 100% cpu usage.
the screen shots look pretty legit, but if ther is found any fault ebay will get me a refund, failing that paypal will.

anyway, do youre reseach, the quickest x6 runs at 3.3ghz? and a 1705t x6 @ 3.5ghz + a good overclock would outbench the 1100t overclocked.

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 18:13

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
or atleast i hope it will :L

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 18:54

well, i have not heard of it anywere yet, maybe itll be almost a first at a 3.5hz x6 @ stock speeds? it should arive in around 9 days, so we will see then

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 19:12

only avalable from oem, its rare to be able to buy them, + i think it was canned beffore releese

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 20:13

urmmmm, anyone mind telling me how to upload images?

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 20:21

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 20:21

ZZZAC · 9 Mar 2011 at 21:20

dunno how, to ave my hassel can someone do it for me?

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 18:56

haha, ok im sorry for the spelling, but really who are you? the grammar police?
anyway im dyslexic.
well my cpu has been posted, would anyone suggest a board that would unlock withough crashing to much more than £70? and i guess this could be seen as an exeperent, i guess ill just have to wait and find out

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 19:47

need a board suggestion pleese.
If you get anoyed with me for going my own way without asking do you mind helping???

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 20:27

the 870 fusion looks like my kinda board, + i know someone who would sell one for 50+p&p

any recemendations?

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 20:42

either a ati 5770 or a 6850? im not quite sure yet tbh, i still need to sell my xbox 360 to raise some £££
my b days soon, it all depends on what i can afford, but im shying away from nvidia for now

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 20:59

case is a old school akasa a62, i did some work on it today, and put in a lian li front hotswap bay to fit 2 hdd's
my psu is a 850w icute, although the bad branding its a +80 psu and didnt kill my cpu's after i spilt thermal compund onta the lga 771 pins and shorted the socket.
the msi fuision 870a ( not the power edition) supports hydra gpu so therfore i can run nvidia and ati side by side in a xsli setup thingy. but looks like a good board to me.
if anyone can top that for less than £60 posted ill be happy, but otherwise come tommorow night i will buy it

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:37

*****?

ZZZAC · 10 Mar 2011 at 21:38

and yes, or i did, but im not going to gaina

it was a very big mistake. thats why i no longer have my 8 core xeon gaiming build, i sold the cpus to build this.
i think next im going for ic diam paste, its better than silver and not conducticve
