Where is the 4890X2 Socketman?

When do I get to be an R-TEC?

I'm running a 4870X2 water cooled with a processor cooled by water running at 4.01Ghz with a watercooled north bridge, with 2 hard drives water cooled one is a raptor, and, I throw an extra radiator out the window in the winter to get the water down to -.6C. No water on the Fatal1ty SB-X-Fi, tho.

That is fast. My RAM is turned up and zippy quick too.

I was always posting in the tech help last winter.

See you on the Battlefield with a 4890X2 when it comes out.

Apparently AMD have already said that there will be no 4890X2 and has barred their board partners from making one. This was, however, a post on a forum that I read a while ago (or it may have been in a 4890 review) so don't take this as fact.

Also, gimmie gimmie never gets .

That's probably (me thinks) because of the TDP. (which should theoretically seen be 380 Watt; which is quite a lot) Btw, did you read this article, Johnny? So if there would come a HD 4890X2; I think one is able to throw his heater out of the window for the following winters, since that thing would probably heat up the whole neighborhood.

That's what we call "entry level" around here

Water cooling does make a lot of sense -that much is certain.
Stock cooler on (one of )my 4850 -is a joke:idles at 80c (with the fan low)

Only 1.36 teraFLOPs? They really need to do better. I want at least 10 teraFLOPs.
