my update:
should be getting Phenom 9850 Black Edition + GA-MA790FX-DS5 in 2 hours time :D

[cdawall]

i want to see how that thing does :D

[overclocker]

Me to i will compete with you :P

[cdawall]

@overclocker did you end up getting that ECS 780G mobo?

[DaMulta]

Seen one at XS hit 3.5 almost stable yesterday.

[SirKeldon]

wiak, keep us informed of that clocking man, i'm really eager to see the results of the 9850 and see how the 790FX deals with it, if the results are pretty good, i think i'll purchase also a 9850 BE :D

It's AMD miracle that shows them back on track.

Just waiting for the 45nm now!!!

[SirKeldon]

Now i can say truly that the race has been started =)

[jbunch07]

am waiting for my 9850 Black Edition :respect:
am also waiting for a Gigabyte MA-790FX-DS5 board
and my spider is complete :toast:

wow your gettin the same board and proc that i want
well all i need now is the proc I got the board last week!
its really nice but im waiting on the cpu.
where did you buy yours from?

check the pics of the board under the spider link in my sig...it on page 4 :)
im going to use the swiftech h20 220 to cool it, hoping 2 hit 3.5 :D

[cdawall]

here is a cinebench run for all of you only 3.2ghz though

@overclocker did you end up getting that ECS 780G mobo?

Yes i did and it works great. i found out 2GBs of my 4 GBs i have were bad from my boards dying on me. so im going to be buying a 2x2GB kit soon. i em able to overclock to 2600mhz atm but i think this ram im using right now isnt 100% staible :(

[SirKeldon]

3,2-3,5 are good levels, considering the old phenoms had that barrier at 2,9-3 ... so i think this is totally a K10 "reinvented" and improved, as DaMulta says, i'm just waiting for the 45nm AMD new CPU's ... cause if the process with 65nm quads finally has been succesful, and according to these very first results i think it is, we will notice best improvements on the 45nm process, since the architechture of the chips has not to be changed.

GO AMD GO! :rockout:

[suraswami]

[jbunch07]

so how many "Traitors" will come back home?

can you elaborate please?
i can only assume that you mean people switching from amd to intel and now back to amd...
is this what you meant?

[wiak]

there is some phenom B3s out there that can go 3.2ghz on air
not bad

i wish now that i had got that board instead of the ds4. but oh well, i'm still happy :)

[ShadowFold]

Haha im a traitor kinda.. Ive always used AMD but went Intel recently, im not really liking it. Too many problems.. Im gonna be getting a Phenom 8000 or 9x50 if I can sell my rig for a good amount :)

[blkhogan]

I just got my 5000+ Blackie in and running but this is looking like I'll have to upgrade again very very soon :rockout: I like what I am seeing with the new crop of Phenoms. Who will be the first to get it and bench that bitch?

DS4 shouldnt be a big problem, its just like 790FX with 2x PCI Express x18 @ 8 lanes, and a diffrent audio chip

The ds4 are 2x pci express x16 with single and x8 with crossfire. But that was about the only reason i wanted the ds5.

i know :P

[Kei]

While I'm not looking for speeds that high (I prefer lower voltage as a personal preference) I AM looking forward to picking one of these up. That IS a ridiculous speed though 100% stable or not, just the fact that it was actually benched at those speeds is fantastic.

I'm trying to convince myself that I SHOULD NOT order one of these tuesday and just wait a little while longer...apparently I'm losing this argument :D. That should go very nicely with the GEIL Black Dragon I just put in (wow).

[wiak]

i have to wait until monday :(
the transporter isnt working weekends :P

[Wile E]

I'll stick with Intel for now. I'll take another look at AMD when they roll out the 45nm Phenoms. These Phenoms are definitely a step in the right direction, but Intel is still faster clock for clock.

guys Tony got his Phenom 9850 nearly stable at 3.4ghz :P

bit-tech got a nice review
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/04/11/amd_phenom_x4_9850_9750_and_9550_b3_cpus/1

and mine is stable for a while on 2.8ghz, but it dont want to be, gets to HOT and sweaty
i think its my psu + amd stock cooler, am getting a corsair 620HX soon wee :D

[kattanablade]

I have a ds5 Board with a 9850, everytime i try to clock it when i reset or reboot it just gets stuckat start with dvd drive blinking at me, i have tried everything to get my chip to overclock, i can get it to boot at about 2.8 2.9 but the same thing blinking dvd drive at reboot, ive tried all voltages and no joy, anyone know why this is happening

[Kei]

What have you actually tried and what is your setup? I may be able to help you, also what is your experience with the Phenom lineup of processors...is this your first one?
