LS + FX-55 Results and questions

[Frost_Bite]

I have been playing with my FX-55 on different coolers for a while now, and I finally decided to use my LS as a 24/7 rig and put the FX-55 in it. This FX-55 is a CAAZC 0441 that I've seen alot of people get bad results from, but mine has been great

I run it 24/7 at 3245MHz with only 1.6v and -50C temps on the LS. I'm happy with this, but a bit puzzled by the SiSandra scores I'm getting. Anytime I use w2k pro over XP, I normally score about 400 points lower in the mem tests, and about 1000 points lower in the CPU test...is this normal? The 2001 scores show a big improvement however? Is this just a w2k / Sandra thing?

Oh yeah, here's some SS:

3245MHz, 1.65v in BIOS. I can now run at same speed but with 1.6v


SuperPI @ 295x11 2.5-3-3-7 2.7v on the RAM:


Sandra MEM bench: (With XP Pro I can get about 9K?)


3300MHz: 24HR Prime Stable at 1.75v, only takes 1.65v for 3300MHz 12+HR now


3.3GHz on 1.65v isn't bad, and that gives me plenty of room to shot for more. The temps are good, and the RAM still has plenty left

seems a pretty nice fx you got there... 3300mhz prime stable is good. i wouldnt mind about the voltage when using phase change, i dont even when using air

how about suicide screenies for some eye candy ?

I'll get some top speed runs later this week. I am out of town right now, but I'll get them asap.

Voltage! More Voltage!!

The bad FX55 you are talking about is the one i have which is week something like 05. It takes me 1.825 volts just to get to 3.2 gighertz
