Drive up, bring a G34 board and we'll toss one of these beauties in it!:D

Wow old, that will be 27K5 at least with a 9.xx driver, i'd say go for it! :up:
Oldtimer, you are an overclocking machine!:clap:
Thanks guys, this 555 (B55) has a stronger NB than my 965C3.
Zeus I tried to install the older cats but they wouldn't install maybe because of the newer 890 chipset?:shrug:
theoldtimer - - - -- ahhhh what cooling do u use ?
Chilled water.
27K must be the bar now for 4.6ish Ghz run.
Lets see if GTX480 can follow:D
Nice run OT:up:
Waiting for another 480 and mobo. I killed my Asus 890GA:(
New Asus Nforce-980A EVO SLI board look interesting, hope they back it up with good bios:D

holy sweetness! theOT letting it rip! :clap: :clap: :clap:
.. and only with chilled water! oh noes my 29k-06(sig, and using LN2 fyi) is soon to be toast! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
- a theme song to help with the long, late night benching sessions -
The 555be is installed in the MSI 890GXM-G65 as a native dual core. I removed the chilled water cooling. The system is now water cooled at room temperature (68-70F) for these tests posted below.
I was trying to engineer a water cooling system that could maintain consistent temps over a longer period of time than standard water cooling systems. I need to mount a sensor for my thermometer inside the reservoir to get a better idea how well this cooling system is maintaining the coolant temperature compared to the room temperature? I’m just shooting for more consistentsy?
The cooling system consists of the pieces listed below.
Geo Metro (small car) radiator 169 sq. ins. With factory 12v fan
2 X Swiftech MCP655 pumps, one to feed the radiator and one from the radiator to feed the coolant reservoir.
1 X 120 GPH 120v pond pump (self priming) in the coolant reservoir to feed the CPU water block.
Swiftech Apogee XT water block using a homegrown fabricated adaptor to mount the water block to the AMD processor.
Reservoir containing 4 gallons of distilled water mixed with water wetter.
All the tests were under XP SP3 32-bit
MB/CPU MSI 890GXM-G65/ AMD 555be X2
1 X OCZ 30GB SSD = test drive
Mem = Corsair GT 2000- CL8
Corsair 1000X PSU
I think the Super PI runs are a bit slow but I don’t claim to be a Super PI expert?:shrug: The boot time isn’t bad though!:)

Is it stable on 4,3 Ghz. Did you try some test stab. like linx. How much is temp.
damn old you never quit! you might have to overclock yourself when u get thuban :p: ill be interested in the 8x/16x scaling w/ high OC on thuban. think it might suck enough out of the 4870x2 to show a difference this time :shrug:
No I didn't and that system is out of the rack now as I'm testing something else.
The thuban may make a difference in that test, it'll be interesting to find out.
I would like for someone with a 5970 to run that test then post the results in that thread. I think that would make for a great X16/X8 test.:up:
