I still have one of those Rosewill $22 AP FS FBM-01/02 cases left, and some asst. PSUs that I've bought previously left. (An ARK Technology "520W", really probably a 300W, and some better-quality NAXN 450W PSUs. The ARK Tech. was like $12-13 + $6-7 ship, and the NAXN was like $35 with free ship.)
This misconception is probably what keeps the price of old thubans up.
Agreed, an overclocked Vishera Octocore leaves an overclocked Phenom II X6 in the dust at everything. Thubans hit a brick wall way too fast when overclocking.... In comparsion, it is generally not difficult to get a full 1 Ghz overclock on a Vishera.This misconception is probably what keeps the price of old thubans up.
the big Vishera thread on overclock.net has all the info you could want on that comparison, from people who actually have used both overclocked.
Virtual Larry, I wonder if the AMD HSF being so much easier to remove/install than the Intel HSF would aid the installation of a 3.5" HDD in the 3.5" bay of that case:
Actually its not a misconception.. Here is a 500 Mhz higher clocked Fx4350@4.2Ghz vs a X4 980@3.7Ghz and the X4 980 kicks its ass..This misconception is probably what keeps the price of old thubans up.

The only way a Thuban still looks good is by excluding the FX octocores. An FX octocore will stomp the floor with any Thuban.Actually its not a misconception.. Here is a 500 Mhz higher clocked Fx4350@4.2Ghz vs a X4 980@3.7Ghz and the X4 980 kicks its ass..
Scaling does much better while overclocking per core on the X4 and X6's Vs the FX Line.

Take it from someone who runs both now instead of someone who ran this 5 years ago.
Lets see some proof clock for clock.. Here is a X6 100Mhz lower then an FX8320 and the X6 won ever time in every benchmark. FX cant keep up with Thurban after a 4.0Ghz clock for clock match up plain and simple..
Hmmm, doesn't sound like to me you're exiting the FM1 market just yet. We welcome you here.
Are you in IDE or AHCI mode for 3.15GHz?
Try 106 at AHCI mode, and what difference in performance you're getting? Also, you can set memory RAM to auto at 1600MHz, which brings it up to 1705MHz safely. This is your best setting.
Yeah, right.... Keep telling yourself that. I've owned both. The FX-8320 cut rendering times by 20% - 30% across the board versus my previous overclocked Phenom X6 1055T. My FX also manages about 5000 points more per day on the World Community Grid versus the Thuban X6. Some people never want to give up this urban legend, but Thuban's days of having the performance crown are long behind it. There is no way a Thuban hex outmuscles the Vishera octocores in today's software. Zambezi, sure.... But the majority of Zambezi's flaws were fixed with Vishera.
Thuban vs Vishera at same clocks(4.2) in many DX11 games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D8Bn56D0V0
Agreed. As someone that owned both -- I will admit that the Vishera is a little mediocre at base clock. But start overclocking and Thuban starts to lag pretty much across the board.
Well, I had the Bclk at 112 with the Kingston, and might have had the memfreq set in BIOS at 667.
