I've also heard from many people that AMD CPU's aren't suited to Nvidia GPU's. They say you need an Intel CPU to have enough power to use a high end Nvidia card. By that reasoning I guess you can't use an HD7970 with an AMD CPU, according to those people.
The Shame...

Don't throw away your Bulldozer/Piledriver chips... Those two Misc I/O spots are 42 Lanes of PCI-E.

Secret functionality? maybe.

AM3+ -> AM4? maybe.

I currently have an FX-6200 @ 4.2GHz. How does it compare to the 1100T and earlier Phenom II's?

Faster by a substantially large margin? I'm beginning to question the effectiveness of my CPU, especially when paired with my GTX 670 2GB. Is it worth switching to an 8150, or simply awaiting Piledriver? I did originally opt for an 1100T, but they were difficult to find, and extremely expensive.

I would just wait for Piledriver

Hi all, I finally went and replaced my trusty 555 yesterday with an FX-4170. Thus far I am tickled pink with what I am seeing. I am running the stock cooler, so I settled for using the AI suite auto-OC, which gave me 4.5 Ghz. I see temps around 70c during Prime95, and only a few degrees less with stock settings. The heaviest game I play right now is Supreme Commander, and even with a 120kmx120km map with 7 AIs I am seeing less then 50% CPU usage (spread out on all 4 cores) a couple hours into the game. At these levels the 4.5 Ghz OC runs less than 50c, which is pretty good considering ambient temp is around 30. I have just begun to tinker with the settings. Thus far I have managed to get my 16GB of Samsung 30nm RAM running smoothly @ 2034 Mhz and 2600 NB, giving me a 12+GB/s MaxxMemm score. That would land me in the top ten ranked on the AMD MaxxMemm thread here. I will tinker a bit more to see if I can crack the 13 GB/s mark before I submit for a new place on the board. I am not planning on running an OC much over what I have now 24/7, but I do want to do some test runs and see how far I can go . Please toss me some of your your favorite bus/multi combos. I am going to turn off CnQ and the other power saving things and do some runs today.
