Need help mga masters and experts napud sa inyong mga mabulhanong tambag labi na kadtong naka experience jud ug gamit aning mga processora!

I got the mobo for my setup pero akong prob karon a little confused about this 2 processors w/c should I get. The Phenom X4 the first phenom w/c is the original but previously had an issues regarding the bug but already quadcore. And the Phenon II X3 has triple core and it offers a lot of revisions and many people who uses this PHENOM II X3 said it is more better or 20% faster than the previous phenom I.

The thing that made me more confused according to NCIX.com they said all PHENOM II processors either tricore or quadcore are actually QUADCORE and the parts are the same. Tricore had been disabed the 4th core for some reasons daw. And not all TRICORE pwede ma unlock and 4th core.
I dont know mao pud naka confused nako.

What about get the QUAD already but not Phenom II? what if I get the Phenom II X3 I still need to hear more about it. I google for some infos about it pero better jud maka dungog ko sa inyong mga experiences labi na kadtong nag gamit jud aning mga processora.

Help me decide masters...thanks kaayo. Plan to get that this week so thats it please give me your best opinion k.

Thanks a lot...

IC daghan jud mo prefer sa Phenom II instead. Pero dako ba jud cya ug kalahian? can you give me some basis as well?

[reishoto]

per clock and per wattage, PII wins (pentium II?, hehehe)..

[yugi]

Karon akong gi compare bro ang Phenom X4 ug Phenom II X3 regarding sa iyang specs gamay ra jud kalahian. Ang Phenom II has 6mb cache L3 where Phenom I has 2mb and the TDP for Phenom II has only 65w and 95w for Phenom I. Well cge lang ako pani klarohon jud. Thanks

@yugi

TDP is measured by the wattage man bro. architecture ang pasabot anang nm.

@istorya_19: edited! sayop! anyway mas init the more the many the cores.

go for x3 720, higher clocks, new technology, head to head no match ang daan nga phenom
chances pod pwede ma unlock ang 4th core sa x3 if sb750 or sb710 southbridge chipset nimo

@dmelsie: Sakto jud ka pero bro I read something from AMD please do read.

Socket AM2+ Phenom II processors are not compatible with AM3 motherboards. Forced installation can cause damage not covered by AMD warranty

Please note that Socket AM2+ Phenom II processors cannot be used on socket AM3 motherboards. The socket itself is different and forcing installation of these processors on Socket AM3 motherboards will cause irreversible damage to the processor, and possibly the socket on your motherboard.

Although Socket AM3 processors can be used on Socket AM2+ motherboards, the opposite is not possible. This type of damage is not covered under warranty.

Please refer to the Processor In a Box 3 year limited warranty, which states, in part: “This limited warranty does not cover damages due to external causes, including improper use, problems with electrical power, accident, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation, or improper testing.” See Three (3) Year Processor In A Box Limited Warranty for complete warranty information.

So this mobo I want to buy is AM3 but wala naka state didto nga pwede sa mga Phenom II processors so then I think Ill be able to get the QUAD core Phenom instead.

Thanks sa input guys. Anyway gamay ra difference niya and di pud tinood nga no match ang PHENOM 1 sa Phenom II although new technology cya pero it does'nt matter for me right now.

Thanks again. I made up my mind.
