Its been along time coming.
X2's with a whole new meaning.
I havnt had the urge to play with a X2 in almost two years. I almost passed this one up for a 955.(Either was free for me)im not greedy
This has to be AMD's ultimate Bonus package.
These BE's are like CrackerJacks...Suprize in every Box
@$109 + shiping + tax = $120 = Half the cost of 955. Then coupled with a new budget AM3/AM2+ Mobo it delivers. Im running a UD4P Bios F5a.. Not the Best Bios but it works %100% to unlock the newest Beast yet,,
Callisto.....AKA my Calypso is amzing for the price...i imagined a lot less bang actually
1st Boot up to 3800mhz + @ STOCK VOLTS
3900mhz+ required a smal bump to 1.44volts Stock NBvid
4000mhz @1.48volts NBvid= 1.2volts
4128mhz @1.52volts NBvid= 1.3volts
Im not saying every chip will unlock and clock,,
So what even then you still can Expect 4ghz with decent cooling on 2cores.
This CPU is my B-day present... i couldnt ask 4xanything more.
I am still testing the CPU/Nb and max Ram Freqency.
I think im close to max and i could settle for 4gig 24.7 . High freqency and low volts there is still a lot of heat in the kitchen. Even though the load temp is mid 40's to High 40's. It still put a lot of stress on things.
Just now starting to up the Nb and ram. Im no where near done. A little faster NB and better timing will be nice. I think NB is where these X2's may be weak once turned into a X4. I havnt even raised up the HTT yet
Im happy with my X550x4core BEeeeast......
