    Because old FX series is B) Athlon 64 FX-62 @ 3,0GHz (with 4GB of Micron D9 memory : LINK ). Cinebench 2003 : LINK, Cinebench R11.5 : LINK, Cinebench R15 : LINK. ^Result on stock AMD cooler. PS. Athlon 64 FX series, doesn't have a "x2" in name (since it doesn't need it). Anything over and including "FX-60" model is Dual-Core and anything lower than that, is Single Core. No Quad cores were ever made for Athlon 64 FX series.

    What I think : 1.8 - 2.1V without heatspreader* 2.1 - 2.3V with heat spreader, 2.3 - 2.5V with active cooling, ~2.7V : Highest I would go (with water cooled RAM ) for 24/7. BUT I assume, everyone got an air flow in their case (intake fan is "a must have"). Without proper air flow, going over 2.0V may be dangerous (cause voltage alone isn't THAT important - it's voltage + temperature that is the killer in long term). Longevity depends highly on RAM temps at your rig (and quality of chips U R using). *There are, altho, these things : LINK (2.4V without heatspreader), but I still think for majority of RAM - 2.1V is max.

    Well, three of my sources disagree with this statement : 1) Overclockers.com : LINK 2) Anandtech.com : LINK 3) xbitlabs.com : LINK And here's wikipedia.de : LINK

    SNDS - Nothwood's can die without warning. Prescott's don't have that. In fact - they (Presshot's), are tougher than VRM section of your motherboard (at least in PGA 478 platform) But iHardware, U R kinda unlucky... U got the worst of the worst - the one of the first revision of Prescott chip, infamous "D0". Good luck OC'ing, still - If u got a heater running in your house, I advise to turn it off when U testing that thing PS. Try to beat my P4EE score @ 4GHz (if U beat it, U can trash any Northwood) : 2003 : LINK, R11.5 : LINK.

    U know that a BSEL mod to 1333MHz, will make basicly a QX6850, from any Q6600 [G0/SLACR] - right ? Also, Q9400 will need a 1600MHz MB native (ie. with QX9770 support), to make this mod possible. As for performance difference : With same clock speed and FSB, they are pretty much the same thing (performance wise). Test at 3,21GHz with GTX 780 Ti in 3DMark (2013) : "Q6700*" (*multi lowered to "x8" - same as Q9400, Q6600 can do this as well) - LINK vs. Q9400 - LINK. Compare quick links : Fire Strike : LINK, Cloud Gate : LINK, Ice Storm : LINK. All results in one link : "Q6700" : LINK Q9400 : LINK

    I would go Q6600 (LINK) and 1333MHz BSEL Tape mod : LINK. Cheapest 3GHz Quad Core U can buy Of course, it needs a MB that supports 1333MHz FSB from the start.

    Hwbot : LINK Tweaked few things Turns out, IMC/RAM don't like 500MHz clock that much ;P FX-60 @ 3,05GHz : Cinebench 2003 : LINK, Cinebench R11.5 : LINK, Cinebench R15 : LINK. PS. Delta fan finally spins at 4k RPM when CPU is at full load (@3GHz it always spinned at 50% - QFan for you).

    I can't, or at least, can't with that speed That FX-55 (130nm) @ 3GHz is stable to do CPU-z valid, but nowhere NEAR enough to bench it Basicly : 3GHz on AMD's 90nm isn't unheard of, but on AMD's 130nm CPU's it's almost impossible to do. FX-55 (CG) is problably the only 130nm AMD CPU that can login to Windows with 3GHz clock without the need of LN2/Cascade or other crazy stuff like that. But, when I stop playing around with FX-60, I can give it a try @ ~2,94GHz PS. That FX-55 of yours is 90nm (E4 version), or 130nm (CG - like mine) ?
  9. agent_x007
    So... I guess this is a "Extreme Overclocking" right now Valid : LINK
  10. agent_x007
    @up Lol It's 90nm tech. I think 1,35-1,4V is stock Vcore for this CPU (ie. it's not going anywhere with only ~1,55V on it ) @Jumper118 : It never exeeds 60C, which greatly improves stability when OC'ing. It's cooled by Thermalright Ultra Extreme (w/939 bolt kit) with Delta 38mm thick fan (to be more acurate, this fan : FFB1212EHE), and there is MX-2 paste between cooling and CPU. Don't know what cooling other guys with FX-60 used, but I know that 3GHz is REALLY hard to make stable (if U have crappy cooling).
  11. agent_x007
    Socket 939 FX-60 @ 3GHz : Cinebench 2003 : LINK, Cinebench R11.5 : LINK, Cinebench R15 : LINK. I think it's not too shabby, considering I am using 8GB of ECC Registered memory
  12. agent_x007
    It dosen't matter what settings he will use. Why ? Because if U lower graphics settings, the other GPU's will get faster as well. So 2x - 3x performance should still be there. True - U MAY be able to get 30FPS on Low from 18FPS on High (with R7 240), but c'mon... +20% in price = +200% in speed = no brainer. Q6600 will never die (it's build like a tank)
  13. agent_x007
    Forgot about one : Athlon 64 FX (ie. the original FX series) : LINK

    Fermi DX12 : In theory, it's the same as Kepler's DirectX 12 support (ie. only at "12 FL11_0"). What does it mean : Kepler and Fermi can't do most of the new effects a full DX12 card can (like Maxwell 2.0/GCN1.1), BUT they can take advantage of better resource management of new API (or example : better CPU threaded GPU drivers).
  15. agent_x007
    *Results with 1066MHz FSB, Quick compare : Q9550/E54x0 = 2x6MB L2 (45nm) Q6600/Xeon E5340/X3220 = 2x4MB L2 (65nm) Q9400/Xeon X3330 = 2x3MB L2 (45nm) Q8400 = 2x2MB L2 (45nm) Hope it helps. PS. Results were made using GTX 780 Ti (stock) and 3GB of RAM (OS : Win 7 SP1 32-bit).
  16. agent_x007
    I dare any 130nm AMD user, to beat this score using air cooling only : http://valid.x86.fr/ml5w0h FX-55 (130nm) @ 3,01GHz @ 1,72V It's stable enough to get Validation (not stable enough to test anything other than cache/memory)
  17. agent_x007
    Well... it switched off because Pentium D 820 doesn't HAVE a core sensors... or, well.. any technology to drop it's Vcore/Frequency, within the level needed to keep PC "alive" at ~100C (CPU Temp). Minimum multi is x14 (with 800MHz FSB that gives 2,8GHz) and Vcore dropping isn't supported (90nm technology for U ). Next thing that CPU can do (to not die), is to switch off. Lastly : Tcase max. and "Shut Down" temps, are NOT the same. MB will read data from it's IHS/analog sensor and, based on it, will make a decision to turn off (in some BIOS'es, U can change the setting at which MB will switch off PC). Tcase is for CPU cooling manufacturers (Intel's way of saying how cool the CPU should be, where this temp is measured, during maximum load). Smithfiled (aka. 2x Prescott), WILL burn like Chernobyl if left unchecked. Basicly : It needs a REALLY good cooler (U can forget about running it on that low profile cooler from 45nm PDC's/C2D's, even new, the "stock" high profile one in moderate air flow case, can berally able to hold it under 80C at max load). U can get temps down by droping CPU Vcore by 0,05V - 0,1V (more than 0,1V only if needed, since U increase risk of losing stability the further U drop Vcore). PS. Don't forget to check push-pins on CPU cooler (they are quite easy to break and can be hard to lock in place).

    @up Keep up the good work, maybe U end up where I did : (100% OC on FSB) From 2,7GHz... to 4,37
  19. agent_x007
    GTA V U say... I really don't think so : LINK. At least, more than 4GB isn't needed with PDC E6xxx CPU. GPU VRAM is equally important as RAM in this games.

    On LGA 775, "locked multi" isn't really a problem with OC : LINK. ^That was done on CPU almost identical to OP's PDC E6300 (E5400). As for OC : I would drop 2x512MB kit, and go with only 2x2GB to 400MHz FSB (ie. 1600MHz FSB/800MHz on RAM). Then it's just the question of adjusting CPU Multiplier for best Frequency/Temperature by changing CPU Vcore. With stability problems, U can always increase VTT to 1,3V or RAM voltage. PS. Don't forget to set timings to 6.6.6.18, because that 800MHz RAM isn't that good. Good luck.
  21. agent_x007
    True, but other chipsets are basicly for corporation/office use (no "Good" MB's), or can't support Core 2 Quad's (too old). In what exacly P35 is faster than P965 ? Both support PCI-e 1.x, both can OC to FSB 2000MHz (exact result depends on CPU and MB model used). I can understand Memory bandwidth, since P965 can't support DDR3, but DDR3 is pointless on LGA 775, since those CPU's don't have the IMC needed to really get that increased bandwidth speedup (FSB limitation).
  22. agent_x007
    I would like to ask for correction in chipset list : Those two are quite good, IF U get the right board. ASUS Commando (P965), ASUS P5B's (P965 - "Vannila", Deluxe), ASUS P5W DH Deluxe (975X). Here's a great site with moded BIOS'es (they all have uCodes in already) : http://genius239239.myweb.hinet.net/771/ Also : X38 and X48 chipsets can't support E54xx and X54xx Xeon CPU's.

    Desktop : Celeron 766MHz (Socket 370) 128MB SDRAM (100MHz) GeForce2 MX 200 (32MB w/o TV-out), passive cooling 20GB HDD (5400 RPM i think) Soltek MB (no integrated sound ), don't know exact model... SoundBlaster 128 PCI 300W PSU (I think, probably no-name). Modem 56k Philips 105S monitor (1024x768 @ 60Hz CRT) Windows 98 SE (<== still have it) First thing that broke was floppy drive :lol: Rest : "Generic speakers" HP printer + Plustek scanner (i think), both USB 1.1

    Overheating VRM's won't be seen on MSI Afterburner's stats (same thing applies to FX-8350 CPU's, used on budget MB's) : LINK. Similar problem to yours : LINK. Also, Gigabyte's WF3 series GTX 780/780 Ti's, have quite a history of failing early on. But let's be positive : Maybe it's just a mining virus in the background ?
  25. agent_x007
    When all LGA 115x sockets released up to this point will be outdated. BTW : True "future proofing" is pointless if U don't know what performance future CPUs will have, and which instructions or features will be most widely used by future programs. U can "guesstimate" - of course, but it's more like gambling than acurate prediction.
