[giprabu]

hey... i asked you a question...

pls confirm me the cost of the mobo you stated.. i'm sure that 890GX boards are not that cheap..

 

[saurabh_1e]

Abacus peripheral national distributor of biostar products are selling Biostar TA890GXE @ 6.6k
And Phenom x6 1055t is available for 10.5k at smc international.

Thanks a lot, ajai5777, for updating me with the price. NowI can't resist myself to go for one of these hexacore monstars.

So giprabu, its good for you. The total price is reduced by 1.6k. So just go for it.

OFFTOPIC:
Cilus bhai, if you go for the hexacore, what will you do with your 955BE ?

guys...Is biostar mobos reliable ??

when i was a shop with my friend, a guy came with a biostar board stating a heating issue with athlon x2 hosted on it.. later the board was replaced by one from gigabyte..

that was the first time i'm hearing about biostar board and the first impression was itself bad..

and will it support linux ? take a look at this spec....scroll down to the bottom..

Stick to Gigabyte or MSI.

 

[giprabu]

yup..swift.. !!

thats better ..

 

[ajai5777]

Why most boards dont have enough space between PCIe x 16 and nearby PCI to contain a decent graphic card? Same applies to the mentioned board.We cant use one of the PCI slots if we put a big Graphic card in it.

 

[giprabu]

@ajai5777:::::

ofcourse it happens with all boards...

 

[ajai5777]

But in some boards, there is PCIe x 1 located in between the PCI and PCIe x 16 slots.In that case we can use both the PCI's

 

[Piyush]

hey guys i asked 1 question too
post # 7

 

[giprabu]

oohh..... in which slot the expansion cards like tv tuner, ethernet and sound cards are to be inserted ?? pci or pci-e ??

 

[ajai5777]

oohh..... in which slot the expansion cards like tv tuner, ethernet and sound cards are to be inserted ?? pci or pci-e ??

All of them in PCI slot.Now I am experiecing the prob.I lost 1 PCi due to the heat sink of HD 5670.
I have been using PC from 2005.But havnt used any device in PCIe x 1.

 

[giprabu]

thats pity...
look out this and tel me whether i can go for this...
MSI's 890GXM-G65

hope there wont be any slot problem here.. and if you can pls get me the price also ..

more than Asus. nowadays Asus got more issues than the old graphics buddy, XFX 8600GT electric stove edition.

when i was a shop with my friend, a guy came with a biostar board stating a heating issue with athlon x2 hosted on it.. later the board was replaced by one from gigabyte..

if u go for the low end model of Biostar, theres high chance u'll face problem. same for other manufacturers.

add tax + shipping charge to the price.

Stick to Gigabyte or MSI.

yes, with added cost. moreover 790GX + sata 3.0Gbps card = 890GX. and save 1k-3k.

Thanks a lot Ajai5777 for providing the price about the hexacore processors.
Currently I'm having Phenom II 955 with Gigabyte 785G UD2H mobo. And i have decided to for the hexacore one.

Now couple of Suggestions i need

1st of all should I only sell the processor and use the new one in the 785G mobo. if yes, is there any performance related issues regarding the X6 processors and 785G chip-set. As per my knowledge, except for SATA3, USB 3 and on-board graphics, there are not much changes in the North Bridge area (Like HT link speed, PCI-E bus speed, or memory controller speed)
if no, should I sell the current CPU and mobo and go for X6 and 890GX combo

do you really need X6? well u using graphics card so IGP or non-IGP, it matters least. your board support 140W proccy (correct me if i wrong here), so 125W proccy will fit in just fine (X4 955 is 125W). about the sata 3.0, add a addon card, u urself mentioned it a while ago.

And who said that biostar mobo's are not reliable
If they are not equal to asus in quality at least they are par with msi and gigabyte in quality

Answer for the 1st one: yes I will have some benefits from a hexacore processor. I do a lot of encoding, editing stuff and a hexacore processor will definitely deliver some performance boost + the attractive price point (I have offer for my Phenom 955 6.5k and I purchased it @ 7.7k).

For the 2nd one: Actually I asked you guys that question, that if there will be any performance difference if I use the hexacore with my 785G mobo. I mentioned it that I am not gonna buy something for just features.
Tell me if there will be any performance difference, if I use the processor with 785 G mobo.

u r selling 955 @ 6.5k
then its a nice deal to go for x6

regarding ur performance difference query
consider u paired ur x6 with 785 based mobo and getting 100% performance

mow if u pair ur x6 with 790gx/790fx u'll surely get a boost of 20%/40% respectively
(i'm talking about overall performance which includes ur encoding stuff,gaming and developing)

an if u pair it with 890fx board things get really interesting(and much costly too)
