No MB for it right now. I have a Vapo LS that I could put on it and 1GB of BH-5. What I want to know though: is this a historically good OC'er or should I try my hand with a newer 90nm FX-57?

Why buy a new one when you don't even know how your current CPU performs :confused:

The good FX55's are from week 40 and up, but there were goods ones from earlier weeks too but not so many like in week 40+.

Frecableguy - I have similar FX55 to yours, and they seem to top out around 3120-3180mHz.....on the VapoLS which I used. I tested mine, and 2 others on it, and that was my results. Of course where I live in Durban South Africa, we do have a little elevated temperatures, around 30 deg C ave summer, 20 deg C ave winter daytime temps.

So I doubt you will get any higher than that really at 1.675V, with single-phase most of these FX55 Claw cpu's seems to get unstable past that vcore.

FX57 90nm you won't get past 3450-3550 benchable on the VapoLS, at those speeds it brings the VapoLS to it's knees - provided you have the earlier LS which could handle 240W heatload. Again, our ambient temp may scew things.

Keep us posted.

It's the best I've ever seen. I ran 3dMark @ 2900 and could boot @ 3G on a MSI NF3 Board. This is one of the few screenies I have of the cpu before I installed it in a dfi nf4 board which killed it:
EDIT: I forgot to add that this screenie was done with bad contact on the evap. After correcting it, my temps dropped ~10C.

and me :D

very nice performance all of the 04xx are xtreme, jest for example my 0442 can run s.pi 1m at 3.3g .

My father (ojdr2001) had an 0442 that could run PI 1M @ 3400Mhzs, r404a cooled. One of the best weeks for sure =)
