    Found a CABCE 0516WPMW FX-57...should I grab it?

    I already have a 0530 FX-57. It is what I would consider an average clocking FX-57 under VapoLS. I have something stronger on the way (chilly1 is modding another VapoLS for me and I could being seeing temps in the -70 to -80C range). I am wondering if I should start grabbing some other FX-57's and looking for that "golden chip" out there. Would this 0516 be a good choice or are the newer batches better? Basically, I am asking what would be the best way to target my search for better results. I know a lot of you guys out there swear by the 0516 and now I want to know what you really think...0516, truth that its really better or just hype?

    cpu is nice tho the 0516 not many bad clocking 0516's at all and work pretty nice cold.
    the VapoLS is most likely going to be either an autocascade or a have a new blend, chilly and BBmod's are apparently working on some new stuff and has quite a few tricks up their sleeves....I didn't just make up those numbers

    edit: and when I note temps I mean idle temps at the evaporator, not die temps at full load
