News

AMD Phenom II X4 970 is available for pre-order
Sep 10, 2010: For well over a year Phenom II X4 965 was the highest clocked microprocessor manufactured by AMD. Launched in August 2009, Phenom II X4 965 has 4 cores operating at 3.4 GHz, which is at least 200 Mhz higher than the next fastest clocked AMD CPU. In the next two weeks AMD is going to introduce new model that will beat the 965 by 100 MHz. The new processor is a quad-core Phenom II 970.

Does not work in certain AM3 boards

2010-01-12 17:11:13
Posted by: jpr

Some AM3/DDR2 compatible boards have issues with the C2 stepping. Typically ones that obtained AM3 support through a BIOS update. BIOSTAR reports that it is a power plane issue. They say the 955/965 C2 requires a dual power plane, whereas many AM2/AM2+ boards did not have this in their PCB design.

If you attempt to boot a 965 in a single power plane board, it will revert to safe mode (800Mhz/1V vCore).
