that's the box with the twin a/c units and dehumidier, that i was comparing the 6800u's with the X850xt-p with last time we talked.. those were MAX stable reached...
...you already know i took the DFI out and paired it with a 4000+ and SLI 6800u's and i like to keep a 55 for more than a month in running order.. so RELAX guys it sits at 245x15 normal.. im not that crazy!!
and RORY.. 3.9 max.. nope.. seen them running 4.0, 4.1.. and 4.3 once with in-case dry ice radiator cooling and oil
OK ive done loads of testing as I got the NEW CPU today. its has to be a batch of lemons. It just so happened that the retail i bought this time was the exsact same batch and die code :@ CAA2C 0905 FPMW
BUT it was better... 2.92Ghz fully stable. 242X 12 1.65-1.68 (maxout out on a MSI neo4 plat SLI) it wasnt bad benching but the result were jumping all over the place from 64 - 84 K on re-runs ??? WTF is going on there??
I tryed running it on my gigabyte mobo as well, i push past 1.7 and the system didnt get any Better, different Ram yada yada.
Aparently the 0507 BPMW are better chips for clocking with alot of people running these getting over 3 Ghz.
beat this also.. My air cooling run cooler than the water cooling i have? by 10oC since when have that been like the case, I have noticed that the water is misted and the junk has built up , i did clean it twice now to get it to clean out the engineering rubbish out of the parts, It been rising a bit every time I fire it back up (using waterchill system) and a PCcooler P9AC copper air cooler ( looks like the zalman7000cu)
Well, IT had to go, Dont forget I build computers for other people and it was some one elses, I got some OK results with it and the system wasnt bad really, I managed to rank 2ND from All AMD64 with 6800 Utlra GPUs which wasnt bad considering it only had 6600GT's but still the system was betten by the P4 @ 4Ghz
Over all the system against the whole world of system came 111th thats is based on mainly OC systems. Apparently the FX55 that I had was about on target for the performance levels that I do have, from what I saw the FX performed less better as it was clocked to go faster. lets say stock@ 2.6 gave 12K the 2.9 clock only gave about 12.8K which is way off mark.
The funny thing is that The 3200 scores 8.6K @stock and scores 12K @2.4Ghz so as you can see this really stands out.
What I have done is sent the system down to its new owner, I have contacted AMD to get a hand picked processor where then I will go to the persons system and replace the CPU for free.. a nice 300 mile round trip.
I have got all my data up together and will be running up a report some time next week and putting all the information on the site. all links and info, which should make some good reading I have a few computer mags interested in the story as well as a few other people world wide. I am not sure where I will be placing the info, on the gaming site or the main site, I should think that it will be 100% in the forum and then in the gaming site as well.
If you guys could help, Could you send / post some sisoftsandra 05 Arithmetic bench marks for Your CPUs I will also need to have the FSB, mulitplier, HTT setting and the final clock with the info that your system scores. If you do know the CPU batch and week/year code.
Your input will be very helpful in giving a bigger picture. I am interested in the 3500, 3800, FX55 benches as well. I really want to stick it to AMD on this one, because somthing isnt right.

Rory, every FX-55 review site I visited have no problem with the FX-55 CPU at all. And it OC's quite nice @ 2.80GHz & 3.0Ghz.
So, good luck with the new FX-55 you are about to get.
