Item: AMD 5000+ Black Edition

Age: Brand New in box

Condition: Brand New!

Price: $195

Location: Brisbane

Contact: matt (at) supplycrate.com.au

Comments: Bought this for my new computer rig but have gone another route, this is brand new in box. Why is the black edition more expensive than the standard or even the 6000+ you ask? Because the multiplier is unlocked for upscaling! This means you can crank the multiplier up on the CPU without increasing voltage which makes it VERY overclockable! Test have proven it will hit 3.3ghz STABLE with a stock heat sink. Thats FASTER than the AMD 6400+! NOTE that the Black Edition CPU's do not come with a heat sink.

umm..how can this be the first in australia? are you certain no1 else has one? lol just kickn ya tree :D how much deliverd to sydney mate? in process of building new comp

ok ok, well as far as i know first in australia, my supplier got the first two and I got 1 lol. Mate, make it $200 delivered via express. How does that sound? need to pay the credit card off lol.

Um question... how can you have the best cpu around but go another route?

Ignore that question. On a more serious note - do any of the AM2 mobos have DDR3 capability? Caus as much as I dislike amd, I may use this on my soon to be built beast.

couldn't afford to go the way i wanted to go unfortunately :worship:

As far as I know, they aren't any mobo's out for AMD that support DDR3. I belive the new Phenom Quad Cores that are about to come out may support it (don't quote me though) which will in turn mean DDR3 mobo's. AMD has said that all their new CPU's will be backwards compatible (back to just AM2, including AM2+), so whether that means DDR3 for the older CPU's I really don't know sorry. That said, I got 2 Gig of DDR2 which is fine for pretty much anything, not much I know how that would take advantage of DDR3 just yet.

cheers

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
