    AMD Phenom FX

    Wikipedia says that Phenom FX is coming out Q1 2008. Was it delayed or canceled ? I have the 4x4 "Quadfather" motherboard and I am looking for an upgrade path from my FX-74's and shitty old Quad SLI 8800GTX setup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L...Phenom_microprocessors All help is appreciated.

    FX-74s running hot

    I just got a new computer with the L1N64 mobo and two of these badboys. Unfortunately they might be too hot to handle. Both are running (idling) at 50-54C in BIOS (dangerously close to AMD's advertised max temp of 56C). I am using stock heatsink/fan and I am not overclocking. I did not apply...

    X2 3800 instability in Prime95

    I should start this out by saying I have only limited experience with overclocking and that most of that is further limited to reading forums and guides. My luck with this X2 3800+ has not been great at all. I can run applications fine and I'm not getting any crashing -- except in Prime95's...
