    AMD financial results Q1'12

    Investors seems to disagree with your statement that "things didn't go so well" The loss was the result of having to pay to get out of the GloFo arrangement and the purchase of Sea Micro. Excluding those one-time items, AMD did quite well and beat analyst expectations.

    AMD Launches FX-6200 and FX-4170 Processors

    That first paragraph sounds like an actual answer, followed up by a second paragraph copy/pasted from the marketing department before AMD realized that no one was buying the 'maintained IPC' claim. And your second statement doesn't make sense. If someone said that, they don't understand what...

    AMD Launches FX-6200 and FX-4170 Processors

    No, there really are some problems which have no exploitable parallelism.

    AMD Launches FX-6200 and FX-4170 Processors

    It's pretty commonly accepted that IPC refers to instructions per clock for a single core. I don't think I've seen anywhere that uses it in the way you've described.

    960T Unlocked

    Glad to hear it's working. I believe temperature monitoring always breaks when you unlock cores, so that's pretty normal.

    960T Unlocked

    I would give the new BIOS a try if it's not too much trouble to throw a Deneb back in there to update. I was using F9 on my 790X-UD4P, which was released in November 2009. It failed to get into Windows with that BIOS. Upgrading to F10C solved the problem. F7 for your board came out in...

    960T Unlocked

    Haven't had a chance to use it too much yet, but I ran my 720BE at 1.65V for a while and it wasn't fully stable with 4 cores anymore. So I effectively went from X3 at 3.3GHz to X4 at 4.2GHz. Pretty noticeable difference, but probably not worth the money unless you get the other cores to unlock.

    960T Unlocked

    What board are you using? Do you have the latest BIOS? I had the same issue going from 720BE to 960T, and it was because the BIOS I was using did not support the 960T. Updating it fixed that issue.

    E-450 clock steps

    Pretty sure my E350 only gets down to 800MHz even at idle. I wouldn't worry about it.

    960T unlock / overclock

    H100 is not air... And congrats on your 960T. Not every chip is the same.

    960T unlock / overclock

    I appear to have gotten a pretty 'meh' 960T... can't unlock any cores and needs 1.5V to do 4.2. At 1.5V temps start creeping up to 60 unless I set my H100 to its fastest speed, and that's a little loud for my tastes.

    960T unlock / overclock

    I'm doing the exact same upgrade as you (720 x4 at 3.4 to 960T) so I'll let you know how mine does when I get it Friday. My 720 has been really unstable all of a sudden - maybe something to do with running it at 1.65V for the past few months. Motherboard is a GA-MA790X-UD4P and cooler is H100.
