why sell them, would venice be able to do a lot better?
I had to pay for an FX-55
cause i got more than one CAA2C so sell some off to cash up for the new stuff around the corner :)
right now I have a winnie stable @ 2.9ghz with 1.8v that can bust out a 30sec superpi and a low 27min superpi 32m. System in sig. The memory controller is royally pissing me off though as it won't let my bh-5 go above 250mhz 1t, where it can do about 260mhz 2t.
Is it worth it for me (remember I have phase change, a Mach 1) to get this 3500+ even though I am going venice the day they hit stores? How much longer is it likely to be, and how much higher will I hit than the 2.9ghz of my winnie. Will my mach1 be able to handle the heat? And finally, will the memory controller let my bh5 go above 250mhz 1t?
Thanks
That's a decent overclock already. If I were you, I'd wait for the Venice just because these CPUs are good for now, but from what we've seen the Venice will be even better.Quote:

3500+ caa2c @ 3.6ghz
How many have they're AS CAA2C 3500+ under cold with no problems. I've got a chilly 1 chiller coming soon and am prolly gonna run it -15f or lower.Quote:

Swapped back to my winnie ;)
Runs way cooler, about 9°C...
As u wish my friend =)Quote:

It's not maxed out yet, think 3400Mhzs SS is possible and 3230Mhzs for PI/3DMark. I think its good for a 269€ CPU =)=) At least it's better than my 3200+ Winnie that did 2800Mhzs on prommy :S
Btw anyone with prommy r404a? Post temperatures please.
Looks like 2.8 with 1.55v is about it for now, heat is an issue if I up the volts. I'm thinking about building a chilled liquid system. Almost have all the parts..... I'd like to get 3.0 out of it.
Btw anyone has a bug that makes the 180 Memory diviser @ multi 11 acts like 166 diviser? Like normaly 180 diviser should be CPU/12 @ multi 11 and 166 CPU/12, with this CPU 180 diviser is CPU/13 and Diviser 166 is CPU/14, but only in multi 11. Weird lol
I finally got mine to run at 2.6ghz@1.6v. I shaved off .1v! It had been running prime for about 20min when I left for work. I consider that promising, before it would fail prime instantly at anything less than 1.7v. I'll be home soon, hopefully it will still be running.
what's the production date of yours?
This looks like the right chip to delve into a64- land with, considering i have a decent watercooling setup to dampen what looks like a fairly high amount of heat. Close to 70C on water sounds almost silly/prescottish! :eek:
The FX-55 is a waste of money unless you have money to burn. Especially when there are good overclocking Athlon 64's available for a third of the cost. You wont be able to tell a difference in system performance. You'll get a few more points in benchmarks but my wallet is willing to sacrifice a few points in bungholiomark 2005.Quote:

It depends on how much voltage you have to use. I'm running 2.6Ghz w/ 1.55V now and i'm not breaking 55C in prime.Quote:

I got another one the other day. Its a CAAZC 0422GPMW .. it wont even do 2450 on stock vcore. Piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana: .. :mad:
Any worse?
Hmm, an old reject?
clawhammers don't report temps right. notice that on a cold boot, temps in the bios will always be around 38-40c? ;)Quote:

Can super pi 32m consider fully stable?
Complete stability (Prime, SuperPI, memtest) is the only "full stability"...
it is i have to prime blend test for 24 hours to consider full stabilityQuote:

Most will use their finger or a fluke for temp readings.
