    Should I upgrade my Thuban X6 1055T?

    Thanks that doesn't surprise me I guess. I might just do a full upgrade at the time. For now this rig runs everything very fast. The games I play are 3D, but pretty old. I play DODS, CSS, and I might be getting CS Global Offensive. So you see it's not like I'm anticipating Battlefield 4 or anything.

    Should I upgrade my Thuban X6 1055T?

    The 8350 8 core looks nice, but for what I use the computer for, I really don't see noticing that extra performance. I'll think about it a bit. Is there anything new coming down the pipe for AM3+ socket (or compatible) anytime soon?

    Should I upgrade my Thuban X6 1055T?

    I have a Thuban running around 3.8Ghz. I recently upgraded my video card from an HD4850 to an HD7850 and I was toying around with upgrading the cpu. Only thing is, it doesn't seem like there is anything much better out there. This cpu is about 2 and a half years old.

    AMD lays off 1400 employees, including execs

    I do hear what you're saying, but it's funny how whatever industry you talk about, when a corporation manages to dominate everything and buy out all the competition, it's because it's too high tech of an industry for other people to operate in.. funny but they have thousands of people working...

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    Ya, I don't have my fan speed set to turbo either in the bios, like I normally do in the summer. It's set to standard now, I did that a couple months ago, so it has a higher temperature threshold before it reaches a certain speed. So it lets the cpu get a little warmer instead of speeding up a...

    AMD lays off 1400 employees, including execs

    Oh I know what you are talking about, I'd just like to see several different manufactures back in the desktop market, like motorola, ibm, cyrix, alpha, stuff like that, but they are all either the way of the dodo or in the mobile market. I'd like to see at least six different choices. Perhaps...

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    Yea, that doesn't make much sense to me either, especially since in the typical F to C temperature range that we're speaking about, 1 degree C is about 1.8 or so degrees of F.. so how is C more accurate? Makes no sense. Anyways..

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    It's always been good for me, been using it many years. My first real Asus board that I built a system with was an A7V back in 2000. So I been using Asus stuff a long time.

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    That previous Cinebench number was wrong, I just ran the benchmark, the 6 core cpu test and it only went up to 124F. I think the old number I was thinking of that was 140F+ was of running Prime95 on the stock heatsink and a higher overclocked speed and higher voltage as well. I think though...

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    Oh I'm sorry I stupidly neglicted to mention I'm running a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and the ambient temps are typically 68-72F. I only get 140F+ running Cinebench benchmarks that use all six cores. I might actually get a bit less now running that benchmark with the cooler weather and I do have...

    AMD lays off 1400 employees, including execs

    Seems like the era of competition is over. I'd like to see several different companies in the cpu market, not just Intel with a tiny bit of competition from AMD.

    Thuban X6 (1100T) Temperatures?

    Sorry celcius doesn't mean a lot to me, I'm in U.S.A. and we use fahrenheit, but my Thuban 6 core (1090T) usually idles around 92-94F and running single threaded games like Counter-Strike/Day of Defeat/Team Fortress 2 usually tops around 115F depending on ambient conditions. With multi-threaded...

    Asus VG278H is coming soon!!!!

    This looks really good overall, though I have absolutely no interest in 3-D.

    best IPS penel for gaming?

    Yea, I would be interesting in knowing the reason as well. The PA246Q looks like a pretty nice monitor.

    what phenom II x6 for overclocking ?

    It should be noted that 1.47V is the "minimum" voltage. The northbridge still ramps the voltage up a bit when the cpu is under load. This is how most of the boards seem to operate now, especially the good ones. When I set the voltage to 1.46V, I get BSOD sometimes while gaming. Apparently the...
