Thank you s7e9h3n! I think I love you! Been waiting for you special FX for a long time, and I believe I was one of the first ones to guess you had this baby! Thank you for picture post, that was beautiful! Hope you have time to OC that chip! But don't post too much, I got to read for my C++ exam on monday!!

looks like a normal FX-57 San Diego :stick:
wonders why does he says it is special, screenshots didn't show anything like that :confused:

Of course, I know it is exciting to test FX-57 SD :woot:
but i don't see anything unusual

he said it was a special FX, so the special part was that it was a FX-57. Most of us apriciate a post like this!

If I think it's a bugged FX-55, does that mean it's an FX-57? :p:

*ponders*

well, everything points to it being a typical (if you can call them that in the first place) FX-57... cpu-z is misreporting, like it did with the san diego fx-55's, but instead says 57.. :p:

hmmm.. maybe it's an ES?

Ok all, let me settle this once and for all before any bickering arises from this thread.......Ladies and gentlemen, let me present my cpu....... :p:

http://img231.echo.cx/img231/6043/fx574am.jpg

Sorry if I dissapointed anybody, but this in fact IS an FX55. ;) This cpu was one of a few "special" fx55's hard-coded by AMD's DVT (Design Verification Testing) team as an FX57. These cpu's were mainly used to test the bios compatibility of the upcoming FX57 without acutally using one of the few ES's. I believe this was the type of cpu that WWM was trying to pass off as the "uknown" fx-57 when he posted. It now becomes obvious why he never posted a picture of his cpu when asked. :nono: for knowingly misleading XS members :slapass: .
I'll post screenshots of it's default settings when I get home (I think I need to remount my evap though, since temps seem unusually high). So is this cpu not special anymore??? :p:

LV ratings? It's rated the same as an FX55 Diego. And are you implying I work for Sapphire or DFI? If I did work for sapphire, trust me - I wouldn't be using a 6600GT and if I worked for DFI, I wouldn't have a hole in my pocket for the 5 ultra/sli d's I've killed :D

I don't know if I should consider what you said as an insult or not :p: because my only pci-e card is a 6600gt and while it's nothing to brag about, I don't think I should hang my head because of it :D And I'd like to think of myself as an above-average oc'r :D

s7e9h3n

05-31-2005, 06:44 PM

I was kinda close then...just it was intentionally bugged. Anyway, you think they could flash it into an FX-61 and you run it under a phase change? If for no other reason just to say you had a program legitimately read a processor as an FX-61 a VERY long time before it ever came out (if it ever comes out).
What would be the purpose of running it under phase? I promise you, there aren't any fx-61 cpu's floating around. The whole reason this was done was to test compatibility with the already announced fx-57. I don't beleive anybody has even though ahead to an fx-61 ;)

So how much longer do I have to wait for the 57? I'm just getting my 2-Stage 3-Compressor Cascade system done. I have dual evap, one for the CPU and one for my X850XT PCI, It should hit -95C under full load on both evaps

I know the FX55 130nm didn't like it cold but the FX55 90nm are suppose to? What do you know about the 57?
AFAIK, you're better off with the FX55 .13 at the moment. I don't believe anybody's tested a 55BN @ -100, but the .13's on average didn't have a problem @ that temp. BTW what stepping 55's do you own?

Of course I could be talking out my ass. Good stuff Stephen. Have fun with that awesome chip. And what is this? You are not an XIP yet? Will have to talk to Saaya about that. You bring XS all these AMD chips first and then test them for us. That is an XIP if I ever heard of one. Good stuff. I am awaiting your results on the 4400 x2 as that is the chip I want very badly.

Hey eva, yeah I really hate the mach2 mounting kit. It's a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to install and reinstall. What I was talking about is the flat piece which mounts to the mobo. I had shaved off the little "feet" on the piece which sits over the socket to get better contact with the cpu.

ah i see...which part did you have to shave off and by how much ? thanks for the heads up!

You know, those four little "feet" on the plate which mounts to the mobo. It seemed as if one or two of the feet would always end up sitting on top if an smd, and that would make the whole mount lopsided. So I just decided to file the feet off entirely and use some cork-seal between the plate and the mobo....

Turns out that his cpu is the biggest POS I've tested in awhile. Just my luck since this one's my personal cpu :rolleyes: . The cpu won't even do 3.2G. My 3200+ Venice could even outperform this chip. On top of all that, this thing gets so hot that @ 1.6Vcore, SmartGuardian is reading 6-8 Deg C in the positive! I'm gonna have to have a talk with somebody about this :slapass: On a lighter note, this is what the cpu booted up as on the new board :p: :

Trust me, I thought the same thing too and have re-mounted the head at least 3 times. But after studying the evap temps with this cpu, I'm pretty sure everything is in order. Here's what I mean - with the x2 in my system, the mach2's evap's temps were hovering around ~-45C. With this cpu installed, the evap is reading ~ -30C. The mach2 sensor is placed at the top of the evap so basically the cpu is outputting enough heat to warm the entire evap up 15C. My temperature probe installed on the side of the cpu with the x2 was often in the -35 to -40C range and with this fx it rarely goes below -25 and is often around -18C or so. :rolleyes:

This cpu doesn't get colder, it just get hotter :p: But you're right in a sense. This cpu is somehow drawing some serious power off of my 12v line. My zippy700w usually reads ~12.35-12.48 on the 12v rail, but with this cpu installed, it drops all the way down to ~12.2x V ???

Doesn't sound so Zippy, eh? :p: Wonder if your special CPU is one of the cores from an early attempt before they got the leakage current problem resolved... or just an out-of-spec core that they decided wasn't good for anything but BIOS verification :confused2:

Very impressive OPB :eek: What are the real temps of that cpu under full load ? I have a Vapo ls and with SanDiego 3700 @ 1.70V @ 3150MHz they go almost to 0 C when running Burn CPU programs like S&M :( It is normal ? (idling around -27)
How do u guys think is it woth it to wait for FX57 , i mean, will it overclock higher then FX55 90nm ? :confused:
I just was chatting with him earlier and asked him the same thing. He tops out at +12C full load :eek: .
During my chat with OPB, he's made me have faith in my FX55/57/25 again. He tells me from his personal experience that when going from a x2 cpu - which enables acpi multiprocessor pc - to a single core cpu, windows doesn't automatically update the "Computer" driver to uniprocessor pc. So basically, since I had OPB's x2 4600 installed right before I installed the FX, most likely the computer was stuck in multiprocessor pc mode - i.e. "The Ricky Tweak" - which puts the cpu under tremendous heat load! I'm gonna play with this other 4600+ for a couple of days and then throw my FX56 :p: back in. I'll update here then. THANKS OPB!!

The cap is just for decoupling... a good .01uF ceramic should work... would suggest an NPO composition...25WVDC rating. Unsure of what specifically the pair enables... it's on my SLI-DR chipset though and with the other mod you did, yours would match the config of the SLI-DR chipset.

OHHHH ;) I promise I'll try that other thing when I re-install my FX.

@ Ozzimark: I have no idea why the pwn temp was that high. Some strange things happening with this board. I looked at the chipset temp yesterday and it said 0 Deg and then looked at the chipset hsf and it wasn't even spinning! Sometimes that pwm temp is normal and sometimes it looks as if it's going in the neg temps (like cpu) but I know it's not. My insulation is too good for that to happen :p: If you haven't read about the "Ricky Tweak" for 3dMark, It's basically setting a single proc pc to multiprocessor pc in device manager. This gives a big boost in 3d, but wil tremendously increase your cpu and chipset temps. Here's a link to coolaler's testing on DI with the same cpu as mine:

s7e9h3n

06-09-2005, 03:31 AM

Well, OPB was right. When I switched the 4600+ out to my FX, the cpu driver was still stuck at multiprocessor pc. I basically had to repair my windows install to get this cpu to recognize as a uniprocessor pc and temps in the cpu core dropped by ~13-15C! I've only had a little time to play around with the settings, but this cpu is still kinda acting weird. For example, it will run SPI1m all the way to 19 iterations and just stop there and my computer completely freezes up. Spi doesn't give me any errors and doesn't even blank out. I've played with my memory settings and voltages enough to know that it seems to be some sort of software problem. Regardless, this is what speed I'm running right now :cool: : (1:1)

We see that quite common at the top, i think hes right that if its 2.8ghz @1.375 volts then one of 2 things will happen, well see some really high benches or they wont react that well to voltages, in which case we wont react too well to them.

I have been working with ATi and Sapphire. I know what the temp ratings of all the caps on the boards are. Some range from -75C to -45C, so at -40C it will work with out any problems. Again this isn't for all boards.

Lol...wow, it's been awhile since I've seen this thread bumped ;) The reason why it says .13 is because at the time, Cpu-Z hadn't yet recognized any FX series processor as .09 (let alone an FX57) :p: . IIRC, the mobo I was using was either an SLI-D or an Ultra-D.

I want to post some scores etc (it's a nice chip), but since CPUZ "lies" it's hard to make people believe that it's an FX55 and not a 57. What should I do?:confused:
