Hey, it's just bux.

I wonder if I can retrofit my water cooled 8 way early barcelona setup with 2 new phenoms on my tyan socket F motherboard. Do these new cpu's fit a socket F setup?

Also, a socket F processor has no pins, the pins are in the socket, the processor has only contacts, the AM2 processor has the pins on the cpu and zif socket, totally different., Wishful thinking though

I was talking to S. Starbuck in the FlashChat this morning and he shot me this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...C_quad_core.29

We both found that the lower wattage processors will be out sometime in February with outputs of only 95 watts compared to the higher output 125 watt rated monster first release Jan 8th!

So much fun....

I think I have an am2+ board calling for a Phenom II. It is currently running a 5000+ dual core that would have to be retired.

Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but just came accross this video:

During CES a group of overclockers with access to liquid nitrogen and liquid helium for the extra boost of coldness cools an AMD Phenom II X4 chip to -232 degrees Celsius. Once they got the chip cooled to this frigid temperature, they pushed the clock speed all the way up to 6.5GHz, which is a world record for a quad core CPU and they dished out and astonishing 45,474 3DMark05 score!
