  • pczwizkid i have a question, i am experiencing problems with my pc. the screen flickers after a while and sometimews BSOD's. windows 7 say "nvidia drivers stopped working" is this a ram or video card problem?

  • Which one is better? -AMD Phenom II x4 810; -6 GB of RAM DDR3; -Ati Radeon HD 4650 1 GB; -AMD Athlon II x4 620; -6 GB DDR3; ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB; -i5 750; -4 GB DDR3; -Nvidia GT 240 1GB GDDR3; -Intel i5 650; -4GB of RAM DDR3; -Ati Radeon HD 5570 512 MB;
  • @i2AMAUTUBER the last one definately

  • hey man u think its a good build of a pc with this settings? AMD Phenom™ II Procesador X4 820, ATI Radeon HD4200 Graphics,6GB DDR3 SDRAM - 4 DIMMS, 750GB Serial ATA (7200RPM) c/DataBurst Cache™ ? what else u think i might put into the pc so it can be more better .... i just build this pc with this things u think its kinda good for rendering using 3dmax, solidworks, and for gaming?

  • frekin awesome .... i was deciding on a processor and this is the one ... thanx man ...do u think 30fps on crysis is good??? i havent ever played it and i would love to...but i want it to look good ..thanx 

  • PCWizKid can i run crysis on 60 fps: Amd x4 810 -AM3 RAM: 4096 DDR2 VIDEO: ATI RADEON HD 5750 1gb DD3

  • so how many cores does this have?

  • @peruface 4

  • can i run games on this

    AMD Phenom II X4 820

    3 GDDR3 1333 (PC 10666) RAM

    ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB

    750 Gbit harddrive

  • @rambofan181

    yes,but safe sime money but 2 or 3 core CPu and better Videocard

  • @rambofan181 Yes

  • I have the same exact model but dont know how to overclock please help

  • Hi! I bought a p6230y refurb machine. Works great.

    It has a Foxconn Motherboard named H-RS780-uATX (HP/Compaq motherboard name: Aloe-GL8E), but i cannot seem to overclock it.

    Now, i'm wondering how can i flash the bios, cuz i'm not sure which bios to use...:S

    Help?

  • and what about a Gigabyte Ma770t-ud3p and registered memory

    it will work?

  • I got this CPU along with a cheap Gigabyte 760 chipset AM2+ MoBo with 4 Gigs of Kingston DDR2 800MHz for one of my friends .. and I am gonna throw my old 4870 in his system and I got myself a nice 5850 :D

    Now I will OC the Ph II X4 810 to the limit on it's default cooler .

    Thank you for this video .

  • It's strange, I can never find anything that pertains to the performance of the 820 only the 810. Also would buying a better graphics card help in boosting the performance in the games?

  • is this better than i5?

  • i got the phenom ll x4 955 xP

  • its devil may cry not devils cry :)

  • i have this processor running at 3.25 ghz ( 13x multi, 250 bus) 1.45v

    i have the corsair h50 and when i run 100 runs of intel burn test i dont get over 36c

  • is this a good processor for games?

  • yes but,for high FPS in game get Phenom II x4 925 or better!

  • @halfpol

    +!

  • @dohgustav

    yes i have it

  • yeah man, it works verry verry nice for me!

  • Can anyone recommend and decent mid-range AM3 motherboard that will work well with this CPU?

  • And it must have DDR3 compatibility, and

    i will be using a Radeon HD 4870 graphics card with it.

  • Gigabyte GA-MA770TUD-3P

    really nice board but very cheap.

    also, you won't be able to get a 810 anymore, however just get a 955 or so, they are really good cpu's

  • Thanks

  • Comment removed

  • PCWizKid, awesome review!! You gave me alot of info, but got 2 questions:

    1. Will a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit have compatibility for Counter Strike 1.6?

    2. Im getting a new PC, with AMD Phenom 820. Is there a such CPU?

  • Go delete cs 1.6 a Instal css

  • halfpol, lol Im pretty happy with CS 1.6 I dont really like the CSS graphics. And PS: Ive got the new PC, but it got another option, they got almost the same specs:

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz

    Nvidia GeForce GT230 1.5GB GDDR2

    6GB DDR3 Memory

    I get constant 500FPS on it lol!

  • @peterinfamilyguy Hi man i got windows 7 and im really surprised that really all the old games i played on it were compatible.i played brothers in arms,

    call of duty 1,Splinter cell,NFS and so on i even played a game from the ninetees on it Worms armaggedon.

  • Yea Windows 7 have the most compatibility for WIndows XP programs. My question were the 64-bit edition, wich has less compatibility compared with x86 (32-bit)

    But now I have my PC and my games work perfectly!

  • @peterinfamilyguy Ok good for you!

  • Thanks :D

  • 1. Maybe.

  • my mobo for the 955 is msi ma780g...is my board that bad?

  • hi pcwizkid, will a Gigabyte GA-M85M-US2H mATX Motherboard run the this phenom well or should i look at a different one?

  • @MADCORE94, yes that board will work with this CPU fine.

  • @PCWizKid Hey man could u help me will asus m2n-sli deluxe run the phenom x4 9950?

  • @robertkrosl , I dont recommend the asus m2n-sli for a Phenom x4 of any kind.

  • @PCWizKid Yeh ok ill go with a gigabyte mobo.

  • @PCWizKid IM BUILDING a pc with this and an ati hd 5830 with an asus motherboard 4 gig of ram and also 1 tb of hdd

  • AMD Phenom(TM) X4 810 quad-core processor [2.6GHz, 2MB L2 + 4MB L3 shared, up to 4000MT/s]

    FREE UPGRADE! 6GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [3 DIMMs] from 4GB

    500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive

    1GB ATI Radeon HD 4650 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]

    I am planning on buying this computer it would cost me $700 is it worth the money it is an hp pavilion elite 9000z series

  • No. You are much better off going on ebay and buy a quad core system from a e-retailer a lot cheaper. There are a bunch of Dells 545 computers from "lucky dog bargins" e-retailer on ebay that comes with a Core 2 Quad 9400, 8gb of DDR2 800 ram and 750gb hard drive selling for under $450 with free shipping! For the money that you would save you could throw in a nice gpu and really be rockin and it would still cost less then the HP macine you were looking at with more ram and a bigger hard drive.

  • If I have a Integrated graphics card, can i buy a Nvidia Geforce 9500 gt card and put it in?

  • Yes, as long as your case can hold the new card. Make sure your power source can handle it too! My old computer had the same problem, but I didn't watch out for the power source, so it just ended up not turning on. Once I up'd my power source, it worked like a charm.

  • yes but you should get a radeon 4670 they are selling for under 70 bucks now and don't require an extra 6 pin power connection. Not to mention it would out perform the 9500GT for around the same price.

  • ive got a acer gemstone laptop just without the touch in the side. is it good?:

    1000gb harddisk ( 1tb)

    2.2ghz amd turion x2

    ati radeon up to 2gb graphics

    and lots of other stuff like dnla, 5speakers in the laptop osv. it costed me 1 174 dollars

  • nice review pcwizkid.

    i got a phenom II X4 805 @ 2.5ghz(stock). i want to overclock it to get a bit more performance out of it. just want to ask you if it is really necessary to increase the cpu voltage to get a nice stable OC?

    i'm currently trying it out using the AMD Overdrive utility and so far, i was able to OC it only up to 2.9ghz(haven't tried 3.0ghz yet) 'coz whenever i try autoclocking it, using that overdrive, it would go up to 3.1ghz but its not stable when i run stability test on it

  • @tachumi , you dont need to increase the voltages if you are overclocking a little and have good cooling. Otherwise if you plan to overclock a lot you need better cooling and will need to increase the voltage for sure! A 300Mhz increase can be done easily and be stable without voltage increase on this CPU.

  • and also on what part of the AMD overdrive utility should i see the precise voltage of my cpu? 'coz i'm a bit confused. is the VIN0 voltage under the board status the same as the cpu voltage that u see at basic system info

  • i have a asus m3a78, what max overclock do you think i can get? I will use the stock cooler at first, but will probs get a different one. PCWizKid, which budget cooler do you think i should use; and would be the best?

  • You can under-volt the 810 from 1.35 volt or so down to 1.15 V.

    When you do this, the overall system can consume about 25-30 Watts less. In my case, it went from near 100 Watt down to 67 Watt.

  • AMD OWNS!!!

  • Here's my rig! So far I love it! AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz. OCZ Gold 8GB DDR2 800 ASUS M3N78-EM Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200 RPM Western Digital X2 80GB SATA HD 7200 RPM EVGA STS 250 Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit Samsung T220 22' 750 Antec Earthwatts PSU Lian Li case
  • Very nice CPU! I have the PII X4 920. PCWizKid is my CPU ok. I'm running a ASUS M3N78-EM MB! Do you know anything about this board? I want to OC but not sure where to start. Thanks!

  • you should make an amd overdrive video.

  • sounds like my setup so i would get a corsair 750 watt psu

  • AMD Phenom II 810 Procesor (4 x 2.6GHz)

    4GB DDR II 800 MHz Memory (Ram)

    500 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive

    Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 Graphics Card

    5.1 Channel HD Audio Soundcard

    all for 475 pound any good?

    what power supply do you reccomend? thanks also i am on a tight budget

  • Very good setup.

    alltough i will recommend instead of GTS250 the ati HD4870,and 1066MHz dimms,and a motherboard with 790FX chipset[or 790GX]

    the power supply sould be 600-750Watts.

  • i recommend the OCZ modxstream 600w pro. Quiet, modular, 1 six pin, 1 six+2 pin

  • Pehnom II x4 810 vs the phenom II x2 550 BE

    who wins im a a buget for a build

  • The x4 810 wins for sure by a lot.

  • was my system crashing because of the lack of voltage? or too much heat?

  • @staggus, probably it was the lack of voltage, but there could be other reasons such as memory timing s etc..

  • i have a phenom 2 810 currently overclocked to 2.86ghz per core by increasing the fsb in the bios to 220mhz, i havnt changed any voltage settings, previously i overclocked the cores to 2.99ghz each (230fsb) but the system crashed under load. should i increase the core voltage to 1.45v (currently 1.312v) to over clock to about 3.1ghz per core??

  • @staggus, do not do a voltage jump to 1.45v, but gradually increase it 0.025v and test each time, monitoring your temperatures also until you get the results you want. Every board/cpu overcocks differently so you cannot expect to get my results exactly.

  • apologies man. u need a specific motherboard to unlock the 6mb though?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @staggus, if you look at the subtitles at minute 0:34 in the video you will see I say Total Cache size is 6MB (2MB L2 and 4BM L3) .Please watch it again.

  • are you from jersey or something? whats your accent if you dont mind

  • i got this from newegg 139 XD

  • I'm kind of a newb with processors and I'm wondering if this processor comes with a heatsink/fan?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Yes it does. It can handle standard as well as OC. But if your are OC'ing, then get a better heatsink.

  • Thank you, very appreciated.

  • Oh sorry about the questions but what watt PSU would you recommend for a processor like this?

  • this one does, from newegg, thats all i know

  • ive been researching about the 810 and 955 proxessors...

    only concern is that my mobo specs courtesy of HP support, states it can only handle up to 95watt.

    So am I only limited to the 810 model becuz of this?

  • I am buy this prosesador now

  • 910 is 2.6ghz w. 6mb cache. This is only available if you buy from a custom pc store like Puget.

    810 is 2.6ghz w. 4mb cache is available both retail and computer builders.

    My 810 was able to OC to 3.25ghz w. 2500 mhz HT Link. CPU voltage was at 1.35 V.  Both my read and write were well over 8000+ points.

  • lOl while watching this video, Intel adverts started popping up on the video and on the sides. The irony.

  • Rofl mate :D

  • Well my 810 do that at stock volts with 6MB L3

  • I see all stores are still selling the 810 with 4mb cache. The only store that sells the 910 w. 6mb cache is at Puget Custom PC. Unless they are phasing out the 4mb versions.

    Did you unlock the extra cache?

  • Yes I did unlock the extra cache.

    And yes I OC my 810 to 250Mhz *13 at stock volts.

  • You can get it to 3.6 GHz if you have a better cooler.

  • To he honest, I think the best choice is the Phenom II X4 920. It only costs $10 more on Newegg ($150), and it has a higher clock speed (2.8 GHz vs. 2.6 GHz) and 2 more MB of L3 cache (6 MB vs. 4 MB). It's also better for over-clocking. Most people have gotten it to 3.2 GHz on the stock cooler (which is actually a very good one; heatsink is made out of copper, is of a decent size, and has heat pipes for improving cooling) while keeping temps. low.

  • are you going to do the overclocking video for the phenom 2 810?

    i bought one a week ago and i want to overclock but i dont know how.

  • @mastersniper13 , I already show you the settings I used to overclock in the video 2:29 you will see the CPU Core Voltage is 1.448v , the multiplier (CPU clock ratio) is x13 the CPU bus frequency is 239Mhz, HT link frequency is set to 1900Mhz and the NB frequency is set to 2151Mhz. All of this is set in the BIOS manually. Or you can try the AMD Overdrive utility to overclock it, which I didnt do.

  • im sorry for sending you so much stuff for this processor, but i have one more question.

    will the stock cooler be enough if i overclock to your specs? or do i need a different cooler.

  • Stack cooler means the cooler that comes with the processor am i right?

  • yes, that is right.

  • is this worth getting ???

  • ummm no and yes... it depends on the cpu, AMD is more for gaming, i know this because of benchmarks my cousin did at a computer shot (BCOM) and AMD is better in gaming and communications, Intels better with music and HDD, this is avraging with AMD and Intel, and this does not include core i7

  • If it wasn't for AMD there would be no 64-bit on your cute little intel processors. If it wasn't for AMD you would be paying $250 for a Pentium D. If it wasn't for AMD, intel would be playing monopoly with your head, moreso than right now.

    One thing you obviously don't get is that AMD is about price for performance, not performance for price... Catch my drift?

  • are you going to do the overclocking video?

  • how does a AM3 cpu fit int am2 socket?

  • the am3 cpu has less pins than a standard am2+ cpu, but is the same size as an am2+ proc, therefore it fits inside an am2 or am3 board. however, an am3 motherboard cant take an am2+ cpu because there are more pins on the am2 processor.

  • oh ok, that makes sense thanks man

  • isnt it devil may cry4?

    whats devils cry lolz

  • which cpu would be better I Currently have AM2 Amd 64 x2 5000+ im looking to upgrade to the amd3 cpu im looking between the phenom II x3 710 or phenom II x4 810? using a Biostar TA790GX 128mb motherboard.

  • no matter what dont get the x3, its way slower than x4's and does even worse sometimes than dual cores according to benchmarks!

  • Cool to see some other AMD fans out there! Nice video too.

  • I purchased Q8200 because of its mobo (which is g45) is cheaper then phenom's 790gx. And also u dont need upgrade your bios. u dont get a problem abouth compatibility. I must say that amd should decrease phenom810's price

  • but u dont need 790xg for phenom, u can have 780g or lower...

  • dude, try linpack testing, much heavier than prime, will prolly load at least 5C hiher

  • hey my freind wants a pc for photoshop and video editing only and he doesnt game at all and i want to know if there is so much difference between the Phenom II 4 810 and INTEL q9550 cause the price Difference in My country is Horrible like 80% more expensive ... i also wanted to know will CUDA Tweak Photoshop or not ?

  • "it remembers me of faggots" HAHAHAHAHAHA I prefer AMD, Intel is great too fuck you kocksuckerclocker.

  • yes.but intel q6600 pwnod all ADM's in the first benchmark ahahahah no overclock on q6600

  • "yes.but intel q6600 pwnod all ADM's in the first benchmark ahahahah no overclock on q6600 " Are you on crack the q6600 gets smoked by most phenom ll quads and they consume less power and overclock better than the old Q6600. jeez that was the dumbest comment i have ever read.

  • why? do you say that:D, i mean only on the first benchmark pall

  • En un tiempo tendre esta bestia de pro!

  • Yeah, the i7 is like $1000 for the good one... Even I would probably buy it if it was worth $1500 for just the CPU and motherboard, but it's too expensive. I could save up for ages, I guess, but by then there'll be better stuff out. As I'm 14, I don't exactly have a huge source of income =]

    The Phenom II is relatively cheap, you can apparantly get it for $190 (even though for me it's £170, which is like $250... not fair).

  • The joys of living in Europe - you get all the games late (if at all) and have to pay nearly twice as much! >:(

  • Yeah... I know what you mean. The Americans make a film or game, it comes out first in America. Britain makes a flm or game, it comes out first in America. Anywhere else makes a film or game (except Japan), it comes out first in America. Only Japan get their own games first.

  • This is pretty crazy. I am just like u. My name is chris. I was trying to get the i7 for $1000 and I am 14 years old. LOL crazy how that is?!?

  • That is wierd :l

  • It is:/

  • You're a faggot and your dad has glasses? What the hell?

    If you're quite done being a complete imbecile, I'm not really going to bother dignifying any more idiotic remarks with a response.

    And "I suck because I'm a faggot". Really.

    Women suck penises, you don't call them faggots. Be more specific.

    Don't reply to this, lest you make a complete fool out of yourself... again.

  • That's it. Just keep typing. With every mismatched letter you make yourself look more and more like an idiot.

    "fucking poor Faggot". I didn't realise faggot was a noun. And I'm not poor, to be honest. The fact you have to attempt (read: attempt, not succeed) making fun of someone for how much money they have is pathetic, and shows that you are such.

    Who's you're friend? No-one. Now fuck off.

  • If you want performance from Intel get a Q9650 or something similar, those are pretty good. 12MB cache and stuff.

    If you want AMD then get a Phenom II 940 BE.

  • Way to be able to read.

    I said "a few reasons". One of them was that you get a 3 year warranty, another one is that they aren't going "HEY WE'RE INTEL AND WE'RE RICH BUY THINGS FROM US", another is that their products actually work... I had a Celeron-M laptop which broke down a month after the warranty ended... turned out the processor had magically fried itself like a freaking egg.

    Fuck my warranty? No. It's a piece of paper, you degenerate scum.

  • Nevergive, there's no problem liking Intel over AMD... it's all the people going "AMD ARE SHIT LOLOL" that gets on my nerves.

    Anyway, I prefer AMD for a few reasons. Their marketing isn't down your throat, their products are quality and you get a far longer warranty for that reason. 3 year warranty on AMD products. Intel can't put shit to that, to be honest. Also, I think they're generally a far better company in terms of... not being arrogant arseholes.

    Read: "I LOVE AMD I AM FANBOY LOLOLOL".

  • You know intel only make their money because idiots like you turn into fanboys. "OH INTEL! Even if your next processor is a sausage I'll buy it!"

    I don't hate intel by the way. I'm running the Q8200 right now, and I had a Celeron in one of my oldest PCs. I do prefer AMD alot though.

    Why would intel fanboys be watching this anyway? Did you get confused between "Core i7 965" and "Phenom II 810"..?

    Sure I watched a couple of Core i7 videos, but I don't hate intel, just prefer AMD...

  • Excellent review very nice man! thanks a lot!

  • AMD is back :p in summer they bring out some new phenom II CPU's who will beat the I7' s (the i7 920 and maybe the 940 at stock).

  • should I get the 810 or the 720 for gaming?

  • Stock, the 810 probably a little bit better but if you want to overclock, the 720.

  • Thanks I got the 810 and I over clocked it to 3.2 stable and I haven't seen it hit 50 yet on top games

  • Thanks

  • Oh dude, think you can tell me how to clean out my D:/ Recovery drive? It's really small (9 gigs) and only has 300 megs left. Since it's a partition, could I move its contents over to My C:/ Drive (170 Gigs)?

  • Recovery drive is used for just that, recovery, it has your XP or Vista install on it and if your computer crapped out, you'd use it to restore.

  • Tell me, who's gonna spend 1600 bucks on an intel processor?

  • lol so this processor could run fine on a cheap m2n x plus it runs 95wats maximum.40$ ahahaha this is funny.

  • no your not going to need cache this isn't an Intel CACHE hungry chip like Intel core 2 duo. you will need L3cache speed Increase for more performance. note Hyper transport speed can not be higher then Nb speed. you should be able to get it 2.8ghz.

  • Comment removed

  • Hey can you help me out. I was think about buying this but I dont know if my motherborde is compatible. I have a Dell dimension 2400. I only put 2 GBs of RAM in it, but now am looking for a Phenom like yours. I got the computer in 2001. So if you can tell me that it will work without changing out parts, that will be great.

  • This CPU will not work in your Dell.

  • Darn, is there one thats nice and better then the one thats in the dell dimension 2400? Please show me a link or video clips

  • so is windows7 better than vista?

  • I will show you soon.

  • okay

  • please do!

  • yes in many ways!

  • i comment

    AMD RULEZ

  • how about the 910 ? how is't when compare to 810 ?

  • Yeah, I want to know too

  • How did you zoom in so freaking close and keep such good resolution?

  • Its a SONY.

  • Nice CPU , mines noob only 500mb ram ): . I only play cs1.6 and dota . sad . Nice videos anyway.

  • is it possible to get a review on DDR3

    would be great to test it on AMD Phenom II X4 810

  • Coming right up soon. I will test that that combination for you. Let me get a AM3 DDR3 motherboard first.

  • well atleast i am thinking of buying gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard fot that =]

  • the new phenomII x4s are pritty good. much better than their first attempt at quadcore.  I currently have the i7920 @ 4Ghz :P . I still prefer intel tho.

  • Nice CPU, I like how it is only 95W, since that is the max my board supports. Maybe I'll pick one up after this vid. :-)

  • I like your review, good job!!

  • That´s cool, but the "scores" on SiSoftware Sandra for the other ones were stock clocks, so it´s not really a fair comparison.

    Nonetheless, awesome results all theway through!

  • why dont you answer my PM?

    anyways.

    how about doing a review on some LGA775 motherboards?

  • I was actually very impressed with that processors performance! Thanks for pointing it out :)

  • nice, impressive scores to price ratio. AMD is doing really well, gotta love em.

  • is it worth it to get the 920 or 940 or is the 810 good enough pricewise or just get the other cpu if the price is not that much more

  • ur a really hardcore gamer and Windows 7 RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ZZZZZZZ!!!­!!!!

  • devile 'may' cry 4 :)

  • How much did the whole computer cost?

  • Billions and Billions , whohaaaaahahaha ;P
