Pentium D 805 (The Uber One)

awhir

just wondering whats the most you can overclock a fx-60 to with lets say a mach 2 or somthing like that

conzy

4.1ghz or something is the world record for an athlon 64 (FX-57 i think)

But ask Gline, he will know.

My guess is ~3.4ghz

But I have 3ghz with air:p

awhir

nice.

gline

ah tbh an overclocked fx60 would whip any oc'd intel chip but it is just too expensive

see jes are selling am2 boards now :eek:

conzy

AM2 boards are just re hashed S939 boards, they have been around for ages, even DFI have one, and they are usually months late......

But whats the price like?

Ok, I looked myself

http://www.jes-computer.de/product_info.php?pID=23841

Only ~€70 with a very nice chipset cooler....

sae as 939, i hope amd dont make a mistake with am2, it looks like they are :mad:

conzy

Hopefully they will pull some inovative cat out of their bag.......

Because the first batch of CPUs are just 939 cpus with an extra pin:(

Hopefully they will scale very nicely with 65nm. imagine a 4ghz X2:eek:

</dream>

true, we can all dream anyway


ah i havent given up on them
death to intel is what its all about "says me who just bought an 805"
My wallet said yes my heart said no.... my wallet won

WizZard

The reason I got an FX-60 was so that I could eventually stick a Mach2 on it So I will keep it when I move to AM2 next Spring

gline

il stick to the 805 until next year

conzy

I dont care who has the best performance. I want the best bang for buck chip.

But in saying that, look what the $150 Celeron Ms are doing, 1M super PI in 15 seconds on air:eek:

Damn Intel and their low prices and new processers:D

I hope you're keeping the 146 rig

thats actually sold
will be a 6600gt
and no way coronation street, more like metal music vids

He he:D

You buy and sell faster than you can update sigs:D

I hope your watching some Racer X;)

Noone should switch to a Pentium 4 no matter how overclockable or cheap it is.

This is the Pentium 4's last stand and Intel are just getting rid of stock.

A 4ghz P4 still gets whooped by overclocked Athlon 64s.....

So, Everyone, together.

"I pledge allegiance to Advanced Micro devices......"

As true as this is the P4 will destroy the AMDs in video encoding.. Thats the only reason i want one of these... For general use, gaming n photo editing AMD have it well sorted....

Anyone who is into gaming or fast media cept video encoding will go for an amd, Big corporations who want money will go for a pentium theyre cheaper for a reason

conzy

Big corporations who want money will go for a pentium theyre cheaper for a reason

Ahh, Intel are alot more expensive than AMD

Thats one of the main reasons people use AMD bang for buck

AMD Prices / Intel Prices

The only competitively priced P4 is the 805, and it runs like a dog at stock 2.6ghz with a 133mhz fsb....

Drapper

yup AMD bang the buck alright !

awhir

me aveAMD

ALSO gline i think we should open a new fourm in the for sale section called "GLINES FOR SALE AREA" sice your allway selling stuf.

I'm very confused about Intel and the vast nunber of chips and the numbering system?

Like which is best?, the 90nm chips or the newer 65nm?...any guides available to recent Intel chips?

conzy

Who cares?

They all suck except for the overclocked 805:D

There hot they're noisey, they're expensive, they're ineffecient and their gaming perfromances is crap.

And 65nm is better and cooler.

If you want intel, wait for Conroe or buy a Pentium M/core duo and overclock it

DemonOfTheFall

I think that some of their "Cedar Mill" single core 65nm chips have been breaking 5Ghz on air...

Saw a few pics, some lad had a Scythe ninja / tuniq tower / some similar tower heatsink with 4 120 mm fans and the chip was doing over 5Ghz.

TerrorFirmer

Well if anyone is taking the plunge and needs ddr2 ram, I have two 256mb sticks of samsung pc4200 ddr2 literally taking up space....just in case anyone has anything interesting to offer!

I upgraded my ram a few days ago with 2x512mb but the original configuration was 4x256mb sticks...so two sticks with no home.

256mb sticks annoy me...:p

Any benches?

Im sure a Athlon 64 @ 2.8-3ghz would be better for gaming, and cheaper

TerrorFirmer

How does this perform at stock? In comparison to a 3ghz p4, or an amd 64 3400+

id say in single core apps.. ****e
in dual core apps better

would make sense really

Some benchies mentioned here.

I have the feeling that the point of this thread is starting to be missed.

it isn't a slugfest about which is better AMD or Intel, because that discussion will never end (plus the statement of the end of intel, is just a stupid as the end of Microsoft)

the fact is, that Intel has pulled back the Overclocking record to themselves.

and also that people can get an amazingly powerful processor (once Oc'ed of course) for a budget price.

you have to see that the 805, when it's clocked properly is competing not with the same priceclass chips, but with the elite, with cost 9 times the price.

peterk19

recieved mine yesterday ill let you know how it goes when i get around to using it probably do it next week sometime

gline

mines in the local delivery office, il pick it up friday, should have it up and running by next weekend

hopefully my 2x7900gts on the way complement it nicely

after buying intel now i hope it doesnt let me down and not oc much :mad:

SouperComputer

Nice. 52% overclock! I thought I was doing well with my 1.8 @ 3.0.

po0k

performance per watt should be the metric.

Yea, im with you on that one! Consumption is getting out of hand.

[OT]Has anyone seen AMD marketing for opterons regarding reduced energy costs etc etc? [/OT]

you using water or air.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

im guessing air for the moment, the way they say intel sucks for gaming, will i actualy notice lag in game with one of these beutys overclocked ? i mean like playing bf2 with a 7900gt and 1 or 2 gid of ram if not these are on the list:eek:

No, you won't. Not as good as AMD for gaming but that said, some people get the impression that intel offerings can barely run games

You'll be able to run games at high no problems.

g5hn710m4xpdwy

fair enought cause i want to get into video editing too which i here intel is good at thanks

TerrorFirmer

Well I've been moaning about building an amd system for the past 12 months or so but I just never get around to it, thinking its maybe a good thing with the new chips out and around the corner...

I'm still using a 3.4 p4 and run all my games on high settings no problems.

I wouldn't normally link to that site, but if it means we get to see you throw a coconut at the German Dentist, then I'll glady put aside my principles this once.

It performs great in 3dsmax

Render farm anyone?

gline

anyone get one of these oc'd yet? im STILL waiting on my watercooling gear, i should have it by next week
