The New AMD Building Thread

Sophocles,
I agree with you 100% We have beaten the technology to death. Now it's time to stop the educated speculation and see what actually comes out Jan. 8! AMD has thoroughly glossed over the improvements made between what we've seen tests of, and the final product. It should be a good step forward for AMD!

BTW, I don't know where you are at the moment. Did you borrow my Spaceship? I've got 8 hours and 45 minutes to go before Christmas! LOL!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to You and Yours,
Russ

 

but if were not arguing abotu something, its just not aD

 

I'm juxtaposed in England with Sam which is 5 hours ahead of my time, and 8 hours ahead your time. In only a matter of minutes Sam will be feeding Santa cookies and milk and shrieking with the joy that comes out of youth with or without gifts.

Although the sun has set here in Florida, it's a disgustingly 82 degrees outside. Sigh! I guess I'll have to live with it.;P

 

How True! But we spend to much time and space discussing our various arguments over and over again. All we can do is wait and see what happens anyway. It will B what it will B, when it will B, Plain and simple!

Happy Holidays,
Russ

 

Someone had inquired a while back about what kind of CPU coolers come with the better AMDs. Here's a picture of the one that comes with a 64x2 45w 4850e.



Looks to be a 2 pipe cooler to me. Decent enough for a stock cooler!

Happy Holidays To All,
Russ

 

Better than the heaps of crap Intel give you... :S

 

not a heatpipe in site for a Q9550, infact a cooelr the same size for a Q9550 as an E2140.....

 

It looks just like the one they used to get to 3.93GHz with the Phenom II! Pretty decent for a stock cooler. Very low profile too! It might be pretty good for the Media center PC I want to build with either an AMD x2 4850e or a 5050e in this case.

Merry Christmas Sam,

If you look at them closely, while they all look pretty much alike, some of them have more copper than others. I have 3 here at the moment and all look the same on the outside but just bigger chunks of copper in the middle.

Merry Christmas Shaff,
Russ

 

might be so, though its like 2cm high though, tiny things lool. merry xmas to you to russ

 

Sophocles..I'm in Florida 2...I'd rather B hear then in my home town of London, Canada..My Uncle informed me they had 6" of snow over night, he's gotta get up an hour earlier just 2 shovel his driveway

 

That's right, my Q9550 came with more copper in the middle, but the actual heatsink was half as high.

 

For those that missed it, this was in the PC Building thread. A head to head matchup between Phenom II, and the current Intel Quads.

I'm assuming that this has to be from the CPUs that are being released in less than two weeks, as the Phenom II performs better than previous Phenom IIs. Much better than I expected!

You do know of course that I used to live in London Ontario Also? that was about 20 years ago but I truly loved London, the cold, the snow, and Fanshawe Park.

 

that's quite a coincidence. are you sure you don't know each other?

I hope everybody had a good christmas and has a happy new year.
