Re: TCASE? got "Real Temps" and used a stress tester 'Prime 95' answered all my questions. TJmax is the real # to watch out for apparently and my peak of 85C is plenty below that which is around 95-100 |

Re: AMD 6 Core said by ztmike:Download CPU-Z and it should tell you your current CPU speed. It does, but it's still clocking it self down, I don't want it to do that, I want it to run full time. |

I haven't read this whole thread, but if you don't want your cpu to downclock, you need to disable cool and quiet for amd. For intel you need to disable speedstep. |

Does anyone here with an AMD 6 core have anything to say about the actual performance of the CPU in comparison to other high end CPU's or previous CPU's of the 4 core nature? i.e i have a AMD 955 at the moment, how does it stack up? |

Nothing amazing, if you need extra cores it will help over a 955, if not, pointless... (google more and I am sure you will find more and better comparisons)
High end (~$300 not 1k) intels will be equal or beat the 6 core @ 4 cores.
Really no reason to change from a 955 unless you need more cores, and about that only reason would be encoding. |
