Re: AMD FX-8350 8-Core Black Edition Processor Review

should pumped up the HT/NB speeds to 2600MHz or 2800MHz both run real stable without anymore voltage than stock and will increase memory and data throughput alot

Re: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T versus FX-8120 Performance Guide

what are you smoking NightDarkfold AMD don't do Hyperthreading AMD FX 8120/50 8 cores = 4 x 2 x86 cores + 1 x87 core so that gives you 8x x86 cores and 4x x87 also MS just released 2 new patches for the FX 1st one is for thread scheduling and the second one deals with core parking in lightly threade...

Re: Is this possible? (unlocking cores on Phenom x4)

Did you ever try just unlocking one extra core on the 960t for 5 cores instead of 6 maybe the other core was a dud

Re: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB OC Video Card Review

$30 bucks extra for a very poultry OC I don't think I'd be interested now if they made it 1100MHz core and 1550MHz memory then maybe but not for 90MHz core and 0MHz memory that's just ridiculous it is a nice lookin card other than that

Re: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7770 OC Video Card Review

Looks like they be using old socket 775 heatsinks does it have an copper slug in the middle of it

And $10 for an OC you could yourself for free is a bit rich [-X now maybe if it came with Voltage control and you could get an extra 2~300 MHz out of it I'd be interested :roll:

According to the Manual its

I still can't believe AMD only gave these cards an 128bit memory bus I thought only the entry level cards of the newer HD6xxx and HD7xxx cards would have been that low also I can see these going for $500+ for the 7870 and 400+ for the 7850 here in new zealand man it suck balls living here
