I havent posted in a long time but been a long time lurker. It saddens me greatly to see what's happened to anandtech over the years. It was always my go to site for reviews, as mentioned by others I deeply miss the deep devices and the inner workings of newer tech. Stuff like frame pacing when...
My x48 set my trd at like 8 or 10 i cant remember i was getting 7700mb/s memory performance, ive now set it to 6 and its over 8500. If you have a intel chipset you can use a program called memset to view and change your performance level in windows.
Try increasing your voltages , my cpu uses 1.239 at 3.2ghz i also add +0.1 to my northbridge and +0.05 to my fsb. I use a gigabyte board not sure what the defaults are.
:o my zalman at 2000rpm does a fine job of cooling my q9450 doesnt go above 54c on the hottest core using prime95 on small fft's, idles at about 27 - 29 doesnt even break 50 when i go 2800.
I got a q9450 with a gigabyte x48 ds-5 and im running it at 1.34v vcore in the bios but in cpu-z it reads 1.296 under load any ideas why my vdrop is so huge? My other settings r (g)mch +0.2 and fsb +0.15.
Got new prime going, gets abit hotter about 50 - 55 across the cores however ive lowered my zalman 9700 fan speed abit to 2000 instead of 2500 to get rid of some noise. I use my pc alot, im not risking damage by using +0.15 fsb and +0.2 mch am i? my vcore is at 1.4 cpu-z reads it as 1.296 -...
I just started overclocking mine, with +0.1v on the fsb / (G)MCH and cpu at 1.325 in bios (1.280 according to cpu-z when under load) i got 3.4ghz (8x425) with prime95 running small fft's and 2 threads of orthos going and im getting about 47c across my cores after running it for 20mins. Im using...
oh sweet ill be using my 9700 on my new q9450 as well :D. I got 2 fans (one pushes air in at the front and one pushes air out) in my thermaltake shark.
a 2.7 dual core opteron will not bottlneck you at all. You might not get 5000000 fps but you will get very playable fps. Ive got a x2 4600+ @ 2.7 and i get 175 fps @1920x1200 16xcsaa and 16xaf in css and my mate with a gtx and a 6700 only gets like 180-185 so its not much of a difference. And i...
I got a 4600+ @ 2.7 and love my 8800gtx with it.... i get 175 fps in cs at 1920x1200 16xcs aa and 16xaf under vista my mate with a 6700 at same settings get like 180ish. So unless you really need those few fps you should be fine.
