Return of AMD FX: My OC'd AMD FX 8150 review with OC'd 6990 - First Results UP!

I'll post my results for cinebench 10 and x264 in a min so you can add the 2500k aswell

 

sounds good! Thanks man!

 

and



no problem, i should have done this since you opened this thread ...except for gaming benchmarks because i don't have your gpu power.

 

my x264 score is 20.5% higher
your cinebench 10 score is 5.4% faster

Might i add, your cinebench 10 single core performance is very high compared to others i found at 4.8 ghz, nice! :banana:

 

Your 4.8 Ghz i5 2500k manages to beat a 5.6 Ghz i5 750 by a ridiculously high amount haha..when comparing single core performance

4.8 ghz 2500k core - 8022
5.6 ghz i5 750 - 6206

haha or that i5 750 score is terrible for such a high oc

the link that you showed is not an i5 750 it's a i5 670

x264 likes cores thats why you scored higher , also how is your cinebench faster?:3eyes:

i scored 8022 single 28463 multi

u scored 4883 single 27012 multi...

 

woops!! I meant yours! haha , but even then the i5 670 its surprisingly low performance per core for that high clock wow.

 

yea ....5.6ghz is alot, but westmere isn't that fast in single core like sandy bridge

 

true, but even then. I guess at higher clocks than 5 ghz scaling to performance decreases significantly for westmere.

 

SpecViewPerf 11 Scores up! Tomorrow Updating 7-zip with 2600k results!

 

Lynnfield not westmere.

 

actually your correct! my mistake

 

7 zip / Cinebench 10 - Revisited up!! Next up is Diablo 3 Beta results!!

 

Bad news everyone, my ASUS Crosshair V is officially DEAD. I will be purchasing :

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD7 AM3+

With:

Geil Evo Two DDR3 - 2400 Mhz (2x4Gb)
(10-11-11-30)

--or --

Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 - 2133 Mhz (2x4Gb)
(9-11-10-27)

I am learning for simply the better ram, their prices are near identical.

By I am leaning more towards the Geil (I have had really bad history with Corsair except for their PSU's, that is three individual cases of faulty ssd / ddr3 ram)

Help me choose which ram I should get! I would love to get your guys' opinion on this! ^^

Also, I will be redoing my benchmarks with Windows 8 Consumer Preview!


Stay tuned for this Upgrade. and Results! Thanks for all the support and everybody's patience! ^^

dear amd employee I recommend gskill ram.

 

I am flattered! But i already have tried Gskill, i kind of want to try something else! But thanks for the feedback Gskill is definitely my third option.

 

lol gskill is the best. I wouldnt not get the best because i want to try something else

 

well find me a good PC3-19200 gskill ram 2 x 4 gb kit and ill get that. Too bad its only a 4 x 4 gb kit .

So far i only see Geil offering a solid price for this high speed ram. (If anyone wants to go halfs on the gskill pair let me know

http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=442

 

not to mention its 629 + shipping CAD... so nvm scratch that Geil is half the price.

But if Gskill offered a pc3-19200 ddr3 2 x 4 gb kit at cl10, it would be prices similarily.

 

there are some kits from gskill that were my first choice but are unfortunately no longer available it seems.
