I hope the 5.0ghz is true, but the 220w is not.
600 watts at 5 GHz?!?! Not calling BS on you but that sounds a little much or are you talking about total system draw? Are there reviews or something that shows that?
i will be buying a top psu and hopefully this chip, and sticking it under my H60 with Gentle Typhoon 1850 push pull
question is, i have an matx motherboard, Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3... will it possibly work???? :X
Nope. You will need a new motherboard, like the ud5 or sabertooth (for example) to pull that off.i will be buying a top psu and hopefully this chip, and sticking it under my H60 with Gentle Typhoon 1850 push pull

Hmm that's odd. Maybe that was with the older ud3's. My friend runs his 8350 at 5.0 on the ud3, with no issues.If the chip is 220W, you can forget it. It will take more than 4+1 phase motherboard to run that thing, that's for sure. I doubt if the cheaper 8+2 phase will make it either. Consider that for example the Gigabyte 990FX UD3 is notorious for throttling already with slight overclock of FX-8350. How will it be able to handle 220W chip?
Probably only the elite motherboards out there will be able to marginally run the CPU properly.

Yeah, he has a fan near the vrm area.
i also have a fan directly blowing onto my vrm area so the 4+1 phase of the motherboard, regardless the quality of power supply, is not good enough to power an fx-9000? (
As for the 220 TDP rating, isn't that the a measurement of heat and not a measurement of how much wattage it'll draw?
This looks more legit than simple rumors, reminds me of the Athlon Thoroughbred/Barton days when AMD Had much better performance results with latter yields of the same chip. Also notice the slide with Fx-8770....

I've never had a problem with my UD3 at 4.6 with the 8120 or 4.8-5 with the 8320. The CPU is water cooled but the mobo components all have the stock heatsinks. I have a Mountain Mods Ascension cube case loaded up with low-speed fans, but nothing blowing directly on the motherboard.
I wonder if people are thinking the board is throttling because they haven't turned off APM management? That tries to keep the CPU power consumption within spec, meaning it'll throttle at mild overclocks. I remember back when bulldozer first launched Gigabyte and several other manufacturers had to release additional BIOS updates to add the option to turn it off.
do all amd boards have apm management? or is it only on higher quality boards like the 970/990
i have a gigabyte 78lmt-us3.. i would check bios but am in the middle of stability testing my overclocks

No chance. Take a look at the supported cpu list on the Gigabyte website. The 140W Phenom II 965 is not listed. How do you expect it to support a 220W cpu?i also have a fan directly blowing onto my vrm area so the 4+1 phase of the motherboard, regardless the quality of power supply, is not good enough to power an fx-9000?

I know about APM, but the problem in shutting off APM is that then Turbo is disabled. For example say you wanted to eliminate throttling at stock. Sure you can disable APM, but you lose performance because you lose the higher Turbo clock speeds. Now you have to overclock all cores to get the performance back, but overclocking all cores increases power consumption. See here for an example from Tom's: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bulldozer-efficiency-overclock-undervolt,3083-14.html
Look at the system peak power. 238 watts with a peak turbo speed of 4.6. Overclock all cores to 4.5 and peak power consumption is 323 watts.
THE POWER OF THE SUN, IN THE PALM OF MY HAN-ARGHGHHHHHD.
Maybe it'll beat an i5. :\
I didn't buy these chips for their power efficiency.
They're definitely not small form factor friendly though lol
