I've tried one with Dry Ice and there is definitely a cold bug. On Windows desktop I had to play with superpi to keep the CPU temperature low enough. I was able to run 3DMark05 @ 3460 MHz. Little tweaked Vapochill or Mach should be perfect for FX-60.
Lol why is everybody surprised about this?Quote:

Maybe this is a reason why Intel doesn't use on-die memcontroller? :)
Well i know something for sure... intel is gonna strike back this year.... yonah and/or conroe will smash a fx60 to pieces.
Dunno if it will, but I wouldn't have anything against it :P
I'm actually kinda hoping that happens...they deserve their time back in the spotlight...hopefully it's on it's way.Quote:

I can only imagine what a 3.4+ ghz from a dual core A64 in 3dmark2005 would be like :)
or you could buy yourself such cpu :)Quote:

Shouldn't we see two runs of spi with a dual-core CPU? People should also stop displaying temps/volts since they are almost always way off!
Beautiful results man.
This is MSI's chance to redeem themselves with a board that will pwn ASUS, DFI, and MSI's previous line. It looks to be a great, stable OC'er w/tons of options. Go MSI, and good luck. You need a great comeback.
Think, Neo2 era. :)
I have some info in this thread; http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post1215452Quote:

Nice clocks,
I got a question, wouldnt it make sense to feed cold-bugged chips a higher voltage then needed, just to keep the temps up? I havent seen this mentioned anywhere as a measure to evade the coldbug. As long as the voltage used is a 'sensible' value for the CPU, why not overvolt a little, to up the temps?
I think im getting gready, I was just trying to estimate (inspired by this thread, lol) how good the overclock was with comparisson to other dual core chips. But we really dont have any other benchmars to use as a base level. Whats the fastest A64 dual core chip? What the fastest dual core opteron available?
After looking around it seems tht the clockspeeds are sweet, hey we can be forgiven for wanting more :D
With good cooling, increasing the vcore from 1.35 to 1.7 will only negligibly increase load temps, and giving it more than it needs is never a good idea.Quote:

If we saw some sandra benchmarks then we would see how good this chip really is. Its going to rate at about 40,000 on sandra from the estimates.
I didn't think FX-60s were avaliable yet?
