AMD Phenom X4 840

AMD astonished at the beginning with an unpredicted new releases. The Phenom X4 975 raise the bar of the flagship screw auxiliary and now sit at a remarkable 3.6 GHz. More, conversely, has not done so and so is the biggest uniqueness at first glimpse at this 840th day of the Phenom X4 It combines four cores with a clock of 3.2 GHz and has to offer under the hood for even more revelations. Sometime ago, AMD was first AM3 processors to the market chaos that. Among them were a Phenom X4 805 with 2.5 GHz and an 810 with X4 2.6 GHz - the 800 series. Sometime later, the X4 model was 820 with 2.8 GHz. All CPUs on the 800 series had an imperative frequent feature: instead of the full 6 MB L3 cache, on a "Deneb" processor based were ordinary, they stood only 4 MB. The Phenom X4 840 is now preparing to prolong this series - at least in name. The hood is lower suddenly, however, much dissimilar, as the Phenom X4 840 based on the "Propus" and has no L3 cache more. We have optimized system on almost all fronts and at one of our most important to the currently fastest graphics solutions recourse: the MSI GeForce GTX 580, MSI has made available to us is the future of images on the monitor stand in.

But also the other components we have massively revised. A "80 Plus Gold" power supply from Enermax with an efficiency beyond the 90 percent with a maximum of 600 watts provides enough power for in all areas. In keeping with the increasing environmental consciousness of the people we decided next to the highly efficient power supply as well as for good memory. The LoVo Kingston DDR3 modules operate at 1866MHz with only 1.35 volts, in 1333 or 1066 MHz are only 1.25 volts required. With these memory sticks is also the foundation for "bulldozer" of AMD set that supports such high speeds. IT IS one of using the same modules in the coming months, no way. In addition, we rely on our "Cooler Master Stacker RC-832" enable with its two integrated 120 mm fans in order to maintain fair and realistic comparison between the counterparty and simultaneously encountering any thermal problems the processors. Therefore comes as a unit cooler for all CPUs to continue the Noctua NH-U12P with NF-P12 fan use.The operating system continues to set on Windows 7 in the 64-bit version, which we have already updated to Service Pack 1 (RC), since this novel features such as "AVX" are supported.
