Turns out that his cpu is the biggest POS I've tested in awhile. Just my luck since this one's my personal cpu :rolleyes: . The cpu won't even do 3.2G. My 3200+ Venice could even outperform this chip. On top of all that, this thing gets so hot that @ 1.6Vcore, SmartGuardian is reading 6-8 Deg C in the positive! I'm gonna have to have a talk with somebody about this :slapass: On a lighter note, this is what the cpu booted up as on the new board :p: :

:lol: That's your problem Steven... it's only running at slightly more than half speed (55/25) :p:Quote:

Trust me, I thought the same thing too and have re-mounted the head at least 3 times. But after studying the evap temps with this cpu, I'm pretty sure everything is in order. Here's what I mean - with the x2 in my system, the mach2's evap's temps were hovering around ~-45C. With this cpu installed, the evap is reading ~ -30C. The mach2 sensor is placed at the top of the evap so basically the cpu is outputting enough heat to warm the entire evap up 15C. My temperature probe installed on the side of the cpu with the x2 was often in the -35 to -40C range and with this fx it rarely goes below -25 and is often around -18C or so. :rolleyes:Quote:

This cpu doesn't get colder, it just get hotter :p: But you're right in a sense. This cpu is somehow drawing some serious power off of my 12v line. My zippy700w usually reads ~12.35-12.48 on the 12v rail, but with this cpu installed, it drops all the way down to ~12.2x V ???Quote:

Whats the new board then Steven ?
I rarely look at chipsets other than to put AS5 on them so I dont know what the pieces circled in your pic means lol...
Hey sorry about the circles, it was the only pic I had uploaded and I was too lazy to upload another :p: The blue circle is the sli-mod on an ultra-d and the red circle is a a mystery to me. Those bridges are connected on my sli-d, but not my ultra-d? :confused:Quote:

Any progress on that painted object Steven? ;)
Here is some one still think his fx55 is fx57 :stick:
** BTW, I really have hard time to believe that 3.3g running 32m the initial run can be 13 seconds. :slap:
lol, compare with mine:
3.5g:only 1.71v

3.4g pi 1m

3384mhz, 1.58v same setting pi8m.. :band:

wanna see 32m?no prob!! :opb22:

Very impressive OPB :eek: What are the real temps of that cpu under full load ? I have a Vapo ls and with SanDiego 3700 @ 1.70V @ 3150MHz they go almost to 0 C when running Burn CPU programs like S&M :( It is normal ? (idling around -27)
How do u guys think is it woth it to wait for FX57 , i mean, will it overclock higher then FX55 90nm ? :confused:
I just was chatting with him earlier and asked him the same thing. He tops out at +12C full load :eek: .Quote:

So basically, since I had OPB's x2 4600 installed right before I installed the FX, most likely the computer was stuck in multiprocessor pc mode - i.e. "The Ricky Tweak" - which puts the cpu under tremendous heat load! I'm gonna play with this other 4600+ for a couple of days and then throw my FX56 :p: back in. I'll update here then. THANKS OPB!!
What painted object? You mean the redcircle? I'm not sure I wanna attempt that mod until I find out what it does. And even after that, I'm gonna need to somehow find the value of the capacitor that's installed on it. Any ideas emc?Quote:

I think OPB figured out what was wrong with my FX....look up about two posts ;) This other 4600+ isn't as good as the one I sent OPB, but it run's a cooler than his:Quote:

I almost cant believe they get so hot. with my waterchiller at 1.72v the cpu dont go over 33 degrees full load????????? idle at 10 degrees
It's not supposed toi be running that hot. Not a problem with the cpu, it's the OS. I'll reinstall and temps should be better with uniprocessor pc.Quote:

also, that.. quirk about the acpi mode is interesting. i would definitly like to see those temps come down a lot... though i don't understand why it would be so much hotter :confused:
Hell my FX-55 Claw at 1.66-1.7v under good water cooling climbs to 51-52C under load. and its a week 11 as well.
Nope... the one associated with the PMs and the object that was painted black ;)Quote:

The cap is just for decoupling... a good .01uF ceramic should work... would suggest an NPO composition...25WVDC rating. Unsure of what specifically the pair enables... it's on my SLI-DR chipset though and with the other mod you did, yours would match the config of the SLI-DR chipset.
Peace :toast:
