In search of the golden FX57 w/o frost bug @-90C

[CrashOv3r1De]

Just curious what do you know about CABCE?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6817105638

Also I have never bought a CPU on ebay. Can I trust this guy for it to be factory sealed and never opened. I do not want to buy something that was already overclocked by someone or used.

He is selling 5 of them so maybe he bought them in bulk or they fell off the truck or something. I doubt he would buy 5 of them and test each in OC and sell. Thats too Xtreme for someones wallet.

[CrashOv3r1De]

According to his feedback the cpus are really factory sealed

VERY NICE PROCESSOR! BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEALED AS PROMISED! SAVED ME $200 THANKS

Heres CABCE 0516...
Have to torture the 57, so evap. temp not less than -97C (less and screen literally freezz)....

Check the vcore

Cant you drop MAL and RP one?
(sorry for OT)

[OPPAINTER]

I have a week 32 FX57 here.
It is completely worthless after -40C.

That is still better than my 0531 rpmw, not even boot@ -5c

I think we get to live with it ..Until FX60?

[Sampsa]

I have now FX-57 0528 MPMW here. I'll try it under LN2 during this weekend. I've always had very bad luck with the Athlon 64 FX CPUs, lets hope that will change this time!

[ZX7891]

Ever think it's your cooling thats holding you back?

[CrashOv3r1De]

That guy sold 8 FX-57's already. I am buying one from him hope it goes for $850!

[Sampsa]

No

[ZX7891]

Jason AKA mickeymouse says you're wrong...he says your containers are old and outdated

[T_M]

so tempted to quote that line...... must resist.....

[gocchin]

I've got a 0528 GPMW like Sampsa, so far on DI with an aluminum mousepot it's
been fine booting at -70C (Fluke 52II) and no HTT problems as of yet. I'd love
to hear how LN2 goes on this stepping. No idea how it will do colder than -70C
until Sampsa tries I guess.

[Dumo]

So far steppings that cold bugged @-90C to -99C evap temp (or -50/60ish cpu core) are..
CABCE 0512(T), 0513(N), 0516(N), 0522(T)
CABNE 0528(N), 0530(N)

With no bug at all...
CABYE 0524(T)
Opteron150 CABNE 0528(N)

Avoid these steppings if you plan to use phase..
ALL CAB2E (0530, 31, 32, 33)

I guess this old thread still relevant......even with no FX59...

[fatty]

Hey Dumo so my fx57 0522 xpmw is good for up to -75 is that right??
I am planning on building a cascade before too long and was just curious

[MaxxxRacer]

ZX7891, Jason says alot of things. Not all of them are true. And if you will recal Sampsa is one of the worlds greatest overclockers. I think he knows a thing or two about cooling. Possibly even three things, but for modesty's sake lets keep it to two.

John, any chance that Stephen is running like a madman over to the Frys on Canoga to drop 1000 dollars on a cpu ?

In terms of week numbers, would this apply to all San Diego cores?

You have to try it with cascade fatty I think with the right heat load it will be go high

[Dumo]

Most likely.

I beg to differ about the CABCE 0512's. IMO, it's about as cold-bugged as OPB's CABYE 0524 (Which does BTW, HAVE a bug ). Last night, njkid tested an 0512 on a chilly cascade. @ -58C Core temps in windows, the cpu ran fine @ ~14x265ish. While my autocascade doesn't quite get as cold as a standard cascade, I can run these settings relatively easily - evap temps ~-75C idle, -69C load....

[fatty]

Need a cascade to test mine grrrrrr may have to add some gas to my ss to get lower load temps

Fatty, I believe this is 0522XPMW with Dry Ice @-75C evap. temp done by Mickey Mouse...

Please apply more voltage

[s7e9h3n]

Please apply more voltage

Better? BTW, the cpu only can take up to 1.74Vcore Max.....
