I made up my mind on getting this cpu going to try it out on my biostar Tpower nf750
it does officaly support the 955 but I see no support for the 965 should work might have to up the Vcore volts . Any way I am looking at the 1st week of september to buy

What 140W TDP does not mean is that the CPU will draw 140W. In fact, no matter what we threw at it, we have not been able to even get close to that number, neither before nor after the VRM. Let’s jump ahead of ourselves a bit here.

That is good news IMO too many sites bashing AMD for 140w draw IMO woopie doo 2 75 watt standard light bulbs draw more and too many are focusing on the 140w spec when AMD is putting out a great value as opposed to Intel

Cool Brother,

That's the one thing I wonder about the tpower board. I don't think I told you but I burned my first one up. I'm sticking with my 940's till something new and great come out.
I'm focused on music right now

I bought some new toys to play with:

TV

Sound Card

HD

Speakers

I'm done for the year

Lets see what i5 does

Started having all kinds of problems, would get lock-ups 3d gaming.

I had noticed a very electrical smell which turned out to be something burning up on the board

Biostar got me a new board in 5 days I should ask poly what fets are used on the board

Seems like a lot of the mobos need (for the ones that don't have it) to have after market VR mosfet cooling with the high wattage guys being oc'ed.

Couldn't resist, just bought the combo at the egg. I actually bought 2 of the 965's. Was going to get the 940 for the backup system, but it was sold out by the time I got around to checking out, debated on the 955 and finally said to heck with it and ordered another 965. I probably need some counseling but what the heck.

Going to upgrade my 2nd system and retire the A8N32-SLI Deluxe.

We are here to help!

Better watch it curlsir, the last time he "helped" me I spent more money!

Yea I'm good for that See my list above

BTW I booted my 940 @ 4.0ghz today on the nforce board. Couldn't bench.

Hey, that's what money is for, isn't it? Besides I use plastic, it doesn't cost as much

by the time I get through playing musical motherboards with my cases I will be asking myself why I did all this. At least they are not totally new builds so I will only have to swap MB's and copy boot drives to the new system. I just hope that the M4A79T- Deluxe will boot into the bios with the 965 so I can update. Otherwise I will have to get a bios chip from Asus (I don't look forward to that).

Sounds like fun to me

Could & should! I will have to pace my self or I will try to do them all at once and get frustrated. The big unknown right now is how the 965 will work with the new M4A79T MB as I receive it. I will be able to flash the existing M3A79T with my existing cpu. If I luck out and get bios 902 on the MB I should be alright.
