Mine was from ZipZoomFly about 3 weeks ago. Stepping in sig. I am sitting at 250x10.0 so far.
240*11@1.6v ......not very impressive eh....counted on about 260*11 at those voltages.....dont seem to get hot, but wont go any further...it IS cpu..rest has been tested with former winnie............cannot trust my sensors on this DFI board, but i think it stays about 48c on load....i want 24/7 stable platform....this is not for benching. any1 knows a safe vcore for my xp120 on that cpu.
using bios 310 ...any better?
I think the bios could be limiting that overclock. 240x11 is rather low. I am sure it will do 2750 mhz. ALmost all do. try any of the newer bios'es and see if it makes a diff.Quote:

I get 57c on full load at 1.6v with a big typhoon and 54c on water cooling with my 3700+. I also had 5 venice cpu's and each reported temps a little different under the big typhoon. I remember one of them primed at 37c load and 1.6v and another went all the way up to 60c and actually overclocked better, either I'm seeing things or something is up.
That is what the BIOS and SmartGuardian is reading anyway...
My Chipset is at 41C and usually doesn't go above 44C anymore...
Everything is stable and seems fine.
my fx-57 0516WPMW is occt stable at 3020 1.38v for the moment
44°C on wc (very hot), 31-32°C room temp :(
36-37 outside
I HEAT
soon I try 3040
edit : 3040 ok

What makes those chips so much better than regular ones? Another member has the same one and it is as good. That's very nice.
Strained silicon for one makes them a lot more effecient chips. Other then that from what I understand the memory controller is the same. :stick:Quote:

Wow Same steppings as my SD 3700+ but your is a FX-57 and able to reach 3Ghz with those voltages. Wow! :slobber: Mine still struggles for 2.8 Ghz...sigh.... :dammit: last hope is a BIOS update see if that does anything or replace the Motherboard which i'm not planning to do.Quote:

tried 623-3 and it seems to have changed my chipset and pwm sensors......small bug its ok..i know it is ....
but ran 220 without any extra volt..thought oh my, i have a great cpu...then hit a brick wall@ 230FSB....now it really needed a lot of volt to be stable.....ended up @ 245@ 1.65vcore........not good enough i think but dont dare to give it more voltage on air.
i have a fx55 that clocks good on air/water but it is boring and I am too lazy to use water cooling
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=26003 aircool
so 3700+ or 4000+ what is best?
I imagines that 4000+ clocks better ?
I use air cooling for now but got water cooling as well.

Hey Guys,
I just got a SD FX-55 CABCE 0512 (MPMW I think). I am not anywhere as hardcore as most of you guys, but I do try. :stick:
The cpu isn't stable in any tests (OCCT, S&M, Prime95) but seems to be stable in games.
I have tried 10 X 300, 12 X 250 at 1.575 and 1.568V.
To be honest, I don't know if I should give it more voltage, or send it back...
If I were to send it back, what do all you RMA experts recommend I say? The chip isn't faulty, I just think it's an overclocking dud...
Or do you guys think I can or should give it more voltage?
I just want to run it at 3 Ghz for everyday use. Temps with XP-90C and Panaflo are 36 Idle/47 load at 1.586V.
Any suggestions would be greratly appreciated...
Thanks
:(
it can handle more vcore......
Up to what voltage would you suggest?Quote:

You think up to that volyage will be ok for 24/7 usage?
:toast:
well my old barton was a 130nm cpu and ran with nearly 1.85 most of its life.....with air cooling....so i think its ok :) ..i know they have a lot of differences but 1.65 should not be something to worry about...
Got a new 4000+ Sandy 0518 TPAW today. Seems to be MUCH MUCH better than my previous POS 3700+ 0516 MPMW that topped out at 2.55GHz. It's upstairs priming at 2.9GHz (242x12) right now. Running low memclocks to make sure I find the max spot for the CPU. Anyway, I'm still running a pair of good old OCZ EB with micron -5BC, and I was wondering if anyone knows what bios I should use for these? I'm currently using the old 310P, which seems to be okay, really.

Well, I don't know if it's stable yet, as it's only primed for half an hour, but it's at 1.55v in bios, while smartguaridian shows 1.52v.Quote:
