Just waiting for Phoenix to show up!

 

Seen faster than 3Hz mate!

 

I'm only on air.

Wait till i get a phase change, i'll get 3.5ghz out of an intel

I'm on near enough stock volts getting that 3ghz.

 

I guess it's a typo then!

 

Mate like Simon...am waiting for Phoenix to show up...no one and I mean no one can beat that dude for the title of Beast of a Machine!...but hey not bad...altho a 3Hz CPU? blimey you could struggle there mate...

EDIT: wasnt Jonny who made the post in the first place!! ooopss!!

 

everyone is just going to take the rip out the guys poor typo and 3hz machine! HEEHEHEHe

 

hey we do have the EDIT feature after all...so its his fault its still saying 3Hz......haha...I think its cool...a suped up PC with a 3Hz CPU...its like putting a classic mini engine in a Porsche Carrera GT!!!

 

My bad

Next upgrade for me is a new dell 2407 24" widescreen tft when it comes out in March.

May have to get 2x7800GTX's to power it at native res though

 

Very impressive hardware but mine is meaty enough or that's what my wife tells me

 

and you're sure its the PC she's talking about?

 

What, who mentioned a PC

 

Just as I thought....

 

This is a beast what do you guys think of this CPU.

 

Its a monster thats for sure...am just dreaming of buying something like that and wondering what the rest of the machine will look like...hmmm...Kate Winslet eat your heart out baby...haha!!

 

Arruffel,

Question: According to the AMD webby, the Opteron 146 is clocked at 2GHz. Are you saying you've overclocked a CPU and got a whole extra 1GHz out of it - in which case that's some serious cooling you've got going on - or is that the AMD "Intel equivalent figure" - which I thought they'd stopped doing?

 

2 Things -

Don't get that, get a Socket 939 Opteron 165 instead as it's dual core and will clock high.

Baba O'Riley - That is right.

The Socket 939 Opterons are special as they are chips that weren't quite good enough to be FX-57's so they rebaged them as Opteron 146's etc...

All Opteron 146's do around 2.6/2.7ghz on stock voltage.

Stock volts is 1.4v.

Most can reach 3ghz on about 1.55v like mine.

My temps are 38 degrees idle and 47 load (when playing heavy duty games)

 

Jesus, my P4 gets hotter than 47 when idle!

 

says it all then dont it mate? I am still using an Athlon 2500 which has been overclocked to 3200 and that has max temp of 41 when being heavily used...and 38 when idle...I am hoping to get a new machine built sometime this year...with an X2 AMD CPU and some serious SLi PCI-X graphics...now they do come with 2 DVI ports each dont they? hmmm 4 19" screens...oh yeah baby...
