And guess what the stepping is:

CABNE 0530APMW

Yep, seems it's exactly the same as several very solid overclocking FX-57 chips seen around these forums!

Could it be???

An FX-57 for a couple hundred bucks!??!?!

Perhaps so... wish me luck fellows, I'm off to get it under some water and all, hoping to have some results tonight!



A big three cheers to a very special forum member here who hooked me up!! Thanks bro! I owe you!!

...that is, if it overclocks well.
