When i ask you for tricks and tweaks you give none but now you say many are available for AMD....

anyways nicely explained thanks......

 

[Cilus]

Will create a thread shortly explaining the tricks. Currently little busy in Office but already started working on it.

some sonu bagchi in flipkart reviewed the fx 8350 and commented

"If you have setup & LN2 & some gas & other masks & live in Antarctica this can go upto 9 GHz!"

ok so which motherboard would go with the fx8350.....the lowest cost would do as i am planing on getting a sabertooth 990fx/pureblack in 3-4 months...........plus would i require a cooler now at this point if i run the fx in stock and resist myself from ocing????

3)is a 21.5 good enough as i will go into a multi monitor setup soon

4) is the nzxt guardian 921 good enough or is there a good case available in 4-5k max

somebody please answer all the question's :/ i beg you guys not to fight over amd intel :3


and aoc is not the point.......the point is the monitor you preferred is a ips panel i am looking for A tn display with response time of 2sec anything more than that doesn't work for me
ps-the aoc model you preffered has 14 secs response time

 

[draco21]

Dont know why you dont want ips panel or how response time will affect....(ok i got it 2ms response times = better sniper games)

1. dont go too cheap on mobo. you are buying a 8350......
2.No overclocking of any type=no custom cooler required
3. Yes good enough
4.Corsair 400R Mid Tower Cabinet - Corsair: Flipkart.com

Found this cabinet recommended at many places in the forum....

Buddy, FX-8350's overclocking potential, even with a good 3K/4K Air Cooler is higher than any Ivy Bridge Processors. The Ivy Bridge Silicon Die is based on Intel's 1st implementation of Tri-Gate Transistors and being the 1st version, has some flaws. Ivy Bridge gets unstable after 4.6 GHz and it is extremely hard to cross 4.8 GHz speed, no matter how pricey cooler you use. The flaw is in the chip design and that's why overclockers around the world still prefers Sandy Bridge Processors for Overclocking.

WOW!!

Since the apps OP is going to use make use of 8 cores . So it is suggested. As for Gaming a good graphic card will do.

^Well take a look at technology news.
I know that in some games intels architecture is proven to be more effective some games AMD to has an advantage,but when it comes to pure multitasking and multi-threaded applications

 

[Godoftheforbiddenlight]

i heard "Not only does ASUS' latest motherboard the SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0, which features AMD's newest enthusiast chipset, not support this CPU out of the box there is currently not even a BIOS available from ASUS to support it"........................is it true...........................

 

[sumonpathak]

errr.....what????

 

[Godoftheforbiddenlight]

the cpu here is 8350


also i heard jim keller making a super chip to kill intel once in for all??

errr.....what????

lol read it somewhere i am sure the weed is good where he lives

hey that helped a lot....

Godoftheforbiddenlight , You heard wrong, all part of it. R2 Motherboards are just ensuring Windows 8 support. The BIOS version is 1604 which enables support for all the new PileDriver processors. Also without the BIOS upgrade, it will still support the newer Processors but you will miss some of the advanced options designed for PD.
I have a normal Sabertooth Board and was using 1503 BIOS when I plugged my FX-8350. It was running flawlessly. Then I updated the BIOS to 1604 for maximum compatibility. The R2 one already comes with 1604 BIOS.

yes i researched further...........by the way cilus would a cheap mother <6k....create any performance issues ????? considering i will buy a very decent one in 4 months......if not than can you opine me one????

also i am thinking of going with 7870ghz i saw the core clock speed higher in this one the sapphire 7950 is clocked 200 less than this one....is it a good idea to go with 7870.....or any other good cards ???

 

[Cilus]

At 16.7K, HD 7870 is the best. however, you can't compare it with 7950 just because the former has higher clock speed. 7950 has more number of shader processor, higher number of ROPs and 384 bit memory bus, resulting better performance.

 

[Godoftheforbiddenlight]

ok so ASUS HD7970 3GB DDR5 MATRIX or POWERCOLOR HD7970 3GB GDDR5 384BIT

or anything cheaper that has performance parameters close enough

P.S i aint rich the money will be a loan so if its unneccesary than i won't buy

 

[Cilus]

Avoid Power Color 1st of all. Opt for Asus Direct CU II OC version, currently around 32K. You can also opt for Sapphire HD 7970 Dual Fan OC model which comes around 29K. HD 7970 overclocks really well. So if you get a Card with good cooler but not factory overclocked, you can overclocked it by yourself to 1000 MHz, touching the performance of 7970 GHz Edition card.

 

[hitman4]

asus direct CU2T 7970 @ 30.5k

 

[anirbandd]

or you can go for 7770 crossfire. cheaper than the 7970/50. but performance comparable to 7950.

have got a config in mind will buy monday thanks everyone.......cilus your the man
