I can't get it to boot at all, I had one successfull boot with RAM clocks at 9,9,9,25, HT, Turbo boost disabled, and only 2 cores active. First time under these settings after the windows logo loaded I recieved a BSOD the 2nd time it booted, though after I typed in my pass, and the background loaded, the ports on the back of my mobo stopped responding so I couldn't use my mouse, keyboard, or access internet from it.

I am considering buying a new AM3+ motherboard, and an AMD FX CPU, that would be about equal in price to replacing my current CPU and I can afford that. My psu, ram, gpu, and HDDs would still be compatible. Suggestions? Thanks for the help so far though zigzag I appreciate it very much :]

Budget and location:)...and who made the PSU?

Should be a good psu....But you might/do want to have it tested first. It could have failed, or worse yet be running out of voltage spec....Don't want to zap the new motherboard:).....

Here is a FX-8150 8 core 3.6g Newegg.com - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8150FRGUBOX $249.99....If you have a good cooler already, that works with AM3 then you can save $10.00 with this Newegg.com - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8150FRW8KGU - Processors - Desktops

Here is a nice Asrock board: 2/16x slots running 16/4: 2 1x and 2PCI slots....Five 6 SATA $84.99 Newegg.com - ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

A budget buster, but if you want to crossfire at 16x Newegg.com - BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS $129.99

It may be just me....but no way would I trust that PSU, especially with such a expensive chip and board

You also realize that even the top end FX chip will not even be close to the i7 in performance, and the patch is not much help either.....Rather than get the one mentioned why not a good PII? Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ980FBK4DGM - Processors - Desktops It has a proven track record and it's a true quad core:)

Before I would write off the i7 I would try a different Power Supply....Make sure the power button works...ect

Ok that explains a lot...I hate when someone overclocks then fails to tell that to the person they sell said item too.

When AMD made the FX They designed it so two cores share some architecture, making a module...so the eight core FX has four modules that can handle 8 "threads".....meanwhile the p2 has 4 cores that stand alone:)....


Yes in theory a 32nm chip would be better, but the design of the chip comes into play also.....
