Topic: AMD Phenom II 555 Black Edition

[unwanted]

Hi guys.. balak ko kasi bumili ng pc pang gaming... 10 - 15 k budget..

AMD Phenom II 555 Black Edition ung isa sa pinagpipilian ko...
balita ko kasi pwede ito iunlock at magiging AMD Phenom X4 na..

ano po masusuggest nyo saking ibang parts para sa processor na to?
ung makakaunlock din po sana para sulit...

Thanks

hindi na ganun kataas ang unlocking rate ng mga bagong batches ng 555 circulating here in the philippines.. tsaka depends din sa mobo.. kung gusto mo ng x4, mag true quad ka na lang, 955 BE.. btw, i'm selling mine.. check mo dito sa tpc.. thanks

Mobos with ACC feature should be able to unlock it, but its a 50/50 chance. as previous post suggests chambahan na lang. mas malaki pa tyansa ng ng phenom x3 720

Mahal ata ung x3 720 e..

Thanks... sana may bumili na ng sayo hehe..

Ano sa tingin nyo guys, X2 555 o X3 na lang bibilin ko?
Advice naman po kayo..

Thanks:)

ano ba main purpose mo sa pc mo? if gaming, dual core is enough.. kung video editing, picture editing etc etc, the more cores the better since threaded applications yang mga yan. pero kung gusto mo ng hardcorean, go for the six, then oc mo hanggang kaya ng cooler mo.

[AndrewSturm]

some games nowadays don't sit well with the dual core, tough choice you have.. 2.8 ghz x4 and very much possible becoming an x4.. or 3.2 ghz x2 with small chances of becoming an x4.. if you dont want to take the risk, just save up a few bucks and get an x4

gaya po ng sabi ko sa taas.. pang gaming po:)

masyado po kasing mahal ung x4 e... 10-15k lang po budget ko...
pero kung may masusuggest po kayong swak pa rin sa budget, try ko rin po tingnan..

Sa ngayon, NBA2k11 pa lang bago kong laro... hindi na kaya ng pc ko e..

Salamat po sa inyo

[AndrewSturm]

when there is a risk involved its up to you to make the call.

ung NBA2k11 is a bit core dependent, theres a bit of a difference running on 2 cores vs 4 cores. kung ibang games yan d pansin ang diperensya.

tried it on a 4.0 ghz 555BE (only x2) vs a 945 x4 3.0 ghz. mas ok pa rin quad at lower clock speeds ( sa NBA 2k )

[unwanted]

malaki po ba difference sa speed?

guys.. tanong lang, may nagbebenta kasi sakin pc.. 15k
sabi nya "Phentlon...AMD FX5000 2.2ghz..unlocked to quadcore at stable na."

ano sa tingin nyo? ayos na ba ito? thanks

[bloodymackey]

unlocked to quadcore nga, ano naman ang kasamang video card, memory, mobo?
 
mas maganda assemble ka nalang. may warranty pa. dami dito tutulong sayo kung anong specs ng desktop bubuuin mo. sabihin mo lang kung anong games lalaruin mo. kasi di lahat ng games naka depende sa cpu/gpu. tulad ng nasabi mo, 2k11 e cpu dependent yan. kung sasabihin mo naman desktop na pang lahatan na games, sa tingin ko 15k e kulang. unang i-priority mo e power supply.

Phenom II 555 BE ay maganda processor..i think nasa 4.5k dito samen. you need lang na motherboard yun may Advance Clock Calibration (ACC). Paginanlock mo siya magiging 4 cores siya.Kaya lang ginawa na 2 cores kasi may instance na yun 2 cores na nakalock ay hindi stable kasya itapon nila ginawa ng AMD benenta pa na nakalock yun 2 cores niya.

you failed to mention thats there is only a "Chance" to unlock all four cores, there are instances to unlock 3 cores, but there are also instances when there isn't any cores unlocked.

and yes manufacturers do "binning" para makatipid sa manufacturing costs.

if TS is willing to take the risk, then yes id go for the 555BE,

[liberi_fatali]

again, TS, by chance lang ang pag unlock ng hidden cores.. in some cases, ma aunlock mo nga yung 2 cores, pero hindi naman stable ang isa or yung dalawa... so mag cconduct ka pa ng testing para ma detect kung ano ang defective na core, it'll take some time, like running prime95 for about 10-15hours para malaman kung fully stable na ang procie mo.. so on and so on..




... pero sa true quad core, di mo na kelangan isipin yan. go for the quad.
