Fx

[s7e9h3n]

Nope... the one associated with the PMs and the object that was painted black





The cap is just for decoupling... a good .01uF ceramic should work... would suggest an NPO composition...25WVDC rating. Unsure of what specifically the pair enables... it's on my SLI-DR chipset though and with the other mod you did, yours would match the config of the SLI-DR chipset.

Peace

OHHHH I promise I'll try that other thing when I re-install my FX.

@ Ozzimark: I have no idea why the pwn temp was that high. Some strange things happening with this board. I looked at the chipset temp yesterday and it said 0 Deg and then looked at the chipset hsf and it wasn't even spinning! Sometimes that pwm temp is normal and sometimes it looks as if it's going in the neg temps (like cpu) but I know it's not. My insulation is too good for that to happen If you haven't read about the "Ricky Tweak" for 3dMark, It's basically setting a single proc pc to multiprocessor pc in device manager. This gives a big boost in 3d, but wil tremendously increase your cpu and chipset temps. Here's a link to coolaler's testing on DI with the same cpu as mine:

Well, OPB was right. When I switched the 4600+ out to my FX, the cpu driver was still stuck at multiprocessor pc. I basically had to repair my windows install to get this cpu to recognize as a uniprocessor pc and temps in the cpu core dropped by ~13-15C! I've only had a little time to play around with the settings, but this cpu is still kinda acting weird. For example, it will run SPI1m all the way to 19 iterations and just stop there and my computer completely freezes up. Spi doesn't give me any errors and doesn't even blank out. I've played with my memory settings and voltages enough to know that it seems to be some sort of software problem. Regardless, this is what speed I'm running right now : (1:1)

So when does the 57 come out, have you used a Radeon Xpress 200 board yet?

Hehehe,
If I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you anyways And I've only used a Radeon Xpress board in my dreams

[extremecorvette]

I have a ATi made Radeon Xpress board, just waiting on the 57 or I'm going to get the SD55. Would you wait?

[DilTech]

I would... Considering 2.8 ghz at 1.375 volts, there's gotta be ALOT of OC'ing headroom on that FX-57. I'd imagine 4 ghz benchin could be done with the right cooling, and not just a measley screenshot!

[[XC] leviathan18]

4ghz benching is quite high i think maybe we can see some 3.6 3.7 action

[Vincentvega18]

We see that quite common at the top, i think hes right that if its 2.8ghz @1.375 volts then one of 2 things will happen, well see some really high benches or they wont react that well to voltages, in which case we wont react too well to them.

I'm building a dual evap 2-Stage 3-Compressor system. I'm also going to cool the motherboard, memory down to -40C

AFAIK, supercooling the memory actually doesn't help enough to make it worthwhile....

Don't the caps stop working properly at such a low temp?

[extremecorvette]

I have been working with ATi and Sapphire. I know what the temp ratings of all the caps on the boards are. Some range from -75C to -45C, so at -40C it will work with out any problems. Again this isn't for all boards.

[YanBooth]

It's not what you think More info tomorrow.......

Nice!

130nm? weird!

Which DFI mobo are you running?

[s7e9h3n]

Lol...wow, it's been awhile since I've seen this thread bumped The reason why it says .13 is because at the time, Cpu-Z hadn't yet recognized any FX series processor as .09 (let alone an FX57) . IIRC, the mobo I was using was either an SLI-D or an Ultra-D.

[YanBooth]

Oh, that makes sense. I was also wondering, you posted this pic in the WCing section, what mobo is that? is it the normal SLI... or the expert? I am trying to find a replacement chipset hs/f you see.

thanks again

[Dani]

As you can see the molex --> it is'nt EXPERT

[s7e9h3n]

thanks again

Oops, was that the board I was using at the time? Well, that's one of my SLI-DR's then. It's kinda hard to keep track when you've gone through ~12 DFI's The chipset cooler is a Swiftech MC?-159...

[ingentingmendeg]

my cpu will pwn all your amd's. i have FUGGERS 3.73EE ES heh

Ummmm...OK...just outta curiousity though.....what's the best Spi times that thing can pull? I think you're in for quite a shock if you truly believe what you said.....

lol i was jk dude. i can do 30sec stock. but i have a intel stock cooler, so no extreme OCing yet.

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I actually got (at least) 1 of these FX55/57's.

Says FX55 on the IHS, but BIOS and CPUZ both say FX57. Stepping: CABHE 0511MPMW.

I want to post some scores etc (it's a nice chip), but since CPUZ "lies" it's hard to make people believe that it's an FX55 and not a 57. What should I do?

I know, and I got it to 3750mhz @ -30-35c. Not too much vcore either, as it was just a quick test (I guess about 1.65v.).

that's sick !
