Hi,
just a quick 1, is there any other difference between the x2 4400 and x2 4800 other than 200mhz clock speed ?

many thanks

nope - apart from the price

brucey034 · 26 Jan 2006 at 21:17

Thanks for the reply, looks like ill be overclocking 200mhz and saving a heap of cash

Yeah but the 4800 may clock over 2.4, prob 2.6

Got my 4400 at 2.7GHz (S&M stable), most will do 2.6 at least, some will do 2.8GHz.

My first one which I could only get stable to 2.5GHz on air was stable at 2.9GHz on LS, so I guess this one would do well over 3GHz stable, 3.2-3.3GHz maybe benchable but I've never tried it.

You're probably going to get further at stock voltages on the San Diego.

Yep, but it's not really that important unless you're MB is a stinker at overclocking.

just ordered x2 4400 woohoo, thanks for your help eveyone

mine does as per sig easy on water at 1.55v i recon it would do 2.85 1.65 v -1,70 v but i have not got the bottle lol

kinggost · 26 Jan 2006 at 22:42

ive left mine at stock even tho my cpu is the bottleneck because i have sli but my comp is mega fast without overclocking

my 4400+ was clocked to 4800 speeds and it was stable at 35 degrees idle!! 50 degrees load!

4400 x 2 straight to 4800 x 2 on stock cooler easy within a day or so of building the system. I expect to go further when I install the kit in the new case and water cooling kit I have just purchased.

When I was specing up for my upgrade I couldn't see any reason for paying the extra £140 or so for the 4800 x2 especially when keeping an eye on this forum and the peeps that had already got a 44 reporting easy 48 speed. Made sense to put the money saved toward some decent wet stuff components.

Regardless of speed though you will not regret going dual core

my 4800 overclocks happily to 2.75 and on air it is happy with 1.4725 volts - been running these settings for months - stable as can be.

Thats probably difference between 4400 / 4800 as my 4400 needs be on water & 1.5v to hit 2.75, what are people getting from 4800's on water ?, no point in going fx60 hey hey
