The most unbelievable thing happened to me

[Onepagebook]

you gotta believe this!!
I swear this is NOT a JOKE!!
Have you heard a 16 pins broken fx55 still work flawless.?

about a month ago, after I got my 10k+ and 3.7g OC on the chilly1's cascade,
my lovely king of FX55 dropped onto OCZ power, when I tried to adjust those bend pins, 16 of them were broken(too cold). I then immediately post the that thread.( http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=147)

tonight, I try to clean my motherboard, and I see my dead fx55, I was thinking to ship to Holst, he'd like to help me to solder pins on that and fix for me. so I start to adjust some bend pins then insert to the socket. OK the fun part starts, I for got that's dead fx55, and applied some silicon compound on it. I thought it's my newer 0506fpmw. then I power it up and I was still NOT aware of which fx55 it is until I see the 0506fpmw fx55 on my desk. O....My...God... what the ...I now still can't believe that. It looks like this:
see the inside of red-retangle?



ok, from my previous ecperience, this king of fx55 can do 290x11 rock stable(I think Sli-DR with 209 bios), now... it did this...



I am so happy RIGHT NOW. It's really a miracle. Unbelievable come back fx55.

I think xs has member live very closed to columbus OHIO, you guys are more than welcome to visit me and take a look see if I am lying.

Thank you all for listening to me.

Prolly can't sit down though due that that extremely large HORSESHOE in your a$$!!

Nice, you are a lucky man!!

[urbanfox]

I heavily doubt anyone thinks your a liar OPB. Very nice to say the least, have you ran any extended tests with other programs to see if there is any visible damage? I thought there was a diagram somewhere to tell which pins are for what purposes, voltage etc

Thats a Brand New SShot right, but your on cpu-z 1.27 when you know you will be questioned about any small detial like that? "rolls eyes"

[perkam]

OMG what a comeback lol though you should be careful with the chip now. Just because you bought a new one doesnt mean your old one isnt also quite an expensive asset. I'd lay off the xtreme benchmarks on the old one to prolong its life (lol), but thats just me.

Always good to see hardware coming back from the dead . Though I think I liked your last avatar better

Question bout what? If its workin with <939 pins then its workin. It is information thread from OPB and he doesnt have to prove anything.

[Eradicator]

Holly Molly, man you are one lucky person.. I would be devistated if that happend to my winnie, but an FX on that... And then the thing still works, WOW... Ive heard of redundant grounds and such, but would of never thought there to be that many in a row, and I thought I was lucky when my old 1.6a P4 worked after loosing two pins, LOL.... I bet you had to take a double take of your new cpu sitting on your desk before you realized you WERENT dreaming...

[CTKP]

would you explain more, I don't quite get it. Sorry man.

I think he means that 1.28 is out and that people might think thats an old screeny. Don't mind him OPB

[Onepagebook]

well , I can do that over and over again
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true

Thanks bud, and thank you Dumo my friend.

Ok this proves it once and for all: Reality IS stranger than fiction


I wonder what those pins are for...

[Major]

too strange ! very lucky !

[EMC2]

Lucky horse shoe indeed Very good news OPB

Here's a pic of why she runs still... just remember, it's a mirror image of your FX pic

Read though here to find out

And let us know what you find

[eva2000]

dam wouldn't we all like to mix up which fx-55 we're using

congrats mate

I should have an FX-55 soon too - hopefully should catch up to you fx folks

WOOW. If the damage occured 1 pin column over, it would have destroyed his MEM Data pins.

[Fzero]

hey OPB if you goto http://www.motherboardrepair.com/ they can fix all those pins a friend on a nether forum sent a P4 with 4 missing pins and they put them back on the P4 works like a charm

[rick_fx]

Man, you're quite lucky!

[mrlobber]

So can we conclude, the 16 broken pins improved your overclock? (290x11 vs 295x11) Seems to be a wholly new mod

[Onepagebook]

Thank you for all the info. I truly appreciate !

Now I just need to find the equivalent pins on my 3700+ and I'll be good to go right? Hahahaha

[|3ourne]

so according to you we should break 4 pins off our cpu to make it run faster
:P

[babyelf]

correction..... 16 pins

[Nanobot]

OPB,RUN OUT OF your house NOW...NOW! And go buy a lottery ticket ! Cause you are one lucky bast**rd that CPU is still alive.
