Hey Guys
Long time no see
Today I passed by my hardware retailer, (long time since I've been there as well ;) ) and noticed he had one FX60 in stock and I had it put on lay-away for me ...
It's been almost 2 years that the OC virus had been dormant, but with a slightly raised bankaccount it's back in full force :D
Now unfortunately I'm totally out of date on this whole FX overclocking story.
I'm reading a lot about a Cold bug with almost every FX60 out there
Any idea's how this one would do with extreme cooling:
Athlon 64 FX
ADAFX60DAA6CD
CCB2E 0607TPAW
1419172B60412
From what I can tell this is a pretty recent model.
Any info on the coldbug on this model/stepping?
I can't find much (if anything) about it besides it being a B2 model which supposedly isn't to good.
The plan is to have it cooled by a Prommy that I still have lying around here, after I get my hands on a S939 mounting kit. So temperature is going to be an issue :(
The solution that I can tell, from what I've read here, is just upping the multiplier and keeping HTT low.
The only thing that frightens me is that i read a lot about FX60 not even booting @stock setting under a vapochill or prommy.
How is this possible if the coldbug problem lies in the high HTT ?
Any input is greatly appreciated
And thanks for helping an old fellow XS'r out
