rolo said:Hah, so it seems like the options are either ... cross your fingers and get 2.9ghz on air, or spend lots of cash on water cooling for the ability to hit 3 to 3.5ghz easily. Sound about right?
rolo said:No, I don't have an FX-55 (see sig) I was thinking about getting one, but I'd really like it to run at 3.0ghz. Otherwise it's much harder to justify spending all that cash.
{NcsO}ReichstaG said:You probably wouldn't hit 3.5 Ghz on water. You would need a "refrigerator" style cooler, a Vapo Phase or w/e its called. But anyway, you have a FX-55, why do you need to OC it? Its fast enough to handle ALLx1000000000 your needs. Your not going to be able to open Microsoft Office any faster you know
James Earl Ray said:I run 3ghz 24/7 on water. It is quite common with the FX-55.
2.9 Ghz on air is easy with multi10x290 if your memory can eat it or multi14.5x200. Just make sure your psu can supply enough juicerolo said:Hah, so it seems like the options are either ... cross your fingers and get 2.9ghz on air, or spend lots of cash on water cooling for the ability to hit 3 to 3.5ghz easily.

ZMTToxics said:Your an intel freak aren't you? Athlon chips (k7 / k8) are not about clock speeds. They are about doing more for every clock. For example, if have an fx55 at 2.6 doing 78billion instructions per-clock versus a Xeon at 3ghz doing only 31billion instructions per-clock, the difference will be very extreme, would it not? Speed is not always about the clock on your cpu.

James Earl Ray said:Sure, no problem. Just PM me when you have any questions. Oh I got a new gig of the Gskill and at the same speeds as the OCZ I get much better bandwidth. So you never know what you are gonna get.

I know the differences between the processors, thankyouverymuch.ZMTToxics said:Your an intel freak aren't you? Athlon chips (k7 / k8) are not about clock speeds.

thats what i got, they just refuse to cooperate. i guess i will have to rma them.centvalny said:gskill 1GBLE and rock stable at 287and 3.3Ghz with phase changer.
you do know that AMD 2.2 GHz (aka 3500+) beats out intels 3.6EE in alot of things dont you??? when you compair intel and amd GHz dont mean crap.rolo said:No, I don't have an FX-55 (see sig) I was thinking about getting one, but I'd really like it to run at 3.0ghz.
