Switched out CPU
Blows the doors off the Phenom II 2.6GHz for responsiveness, although
all cores loaded encoding is strange and would seem somewhat slow by comparison. The reviews I read, however, did mention that it wasn't exactly a multi-core powerhouse;- it's strong point being up-front clock speed and unlocked multiplier. Reading it and doing it took a little time to sync in. FX 4100 o'clocked to 4GHz (stock 3.6GHz w/ 3.8GHz Boost). Initially had problems, fixed when I turned off BIOS: AMD Auto Pwr Management. Turned off Boost. AMD Fx "guess your" offset stuff: 41F at some 176F TjMax from freeware Core Temp. Ordered the CPU off the used Korean market and paid less than the Phenom on a used American market. One box now responsively corrected to give bang. I doubt I need go over 3.6GHz, as well can turn back on the Turbo Boost for stock, however that actually works. |

If anything, without the latter, I'm stabler on the FX than with the Phenom II;- the Phenom ran fine enough with K8 C&Q, though. Also not seeing any appreciable differences over anything in particular, temperature-wise, since I plugged in the FX last evening, whether or not overclocked by 400MHz. I can see to know about multiplers, no longer hidden, that reach between a x30-40 range. Ergo sum - there's nothing imperfectly empirical to keep on overclocking to 10GHz. I should write AMD recommend they rename a FX4100 Slave, because it likes to be flayed upon. |

Anything over 150-200/Ms wouldn't be amiss, although that's still older Hewlett Packard MLC planar NAND technology, I bought for a SSD few weeks ago. Much the same, I wouldn't be surprised if not inferior in some respects, to another same-size Crucial SSD that's going on 3- to 5-years-old. I could get another two cable for the even older Samsung units: 1) 64G SSD and 2) another 128G SSD. Maybe write to Hong Kong first for assurance of SATA3 speeds, something better at least, on the latter units. Since I'd be buying twice, a repeat customer on two cables priced for 99cents together. |
