dang, this thing is fine...I just wish I had enough money to put 2 of them in SLI, but for now, I'll stick with my 6800's. I'm waiting for the G80.

Yeah right. B)

I might buy this. :guh:

Bring it. B)

Btw, nice OC on the Celeron-D.

Where is pi-thon? Why isn't he responding? :funky:

Oooh 5$. Could buy myself a subway sandwich with THAT much. :woot:

Hmmm?... :woot:

I drop by every once in a while. Biotechnology is a very time-consuming field.

Uh shocker. I thought Apple had good products. Oh well, I guess I'm not too shocked. :r:

1GB is always nice. Of course, 4GB's is better. :wub:

But, I did notice that after 2GB's of RAM, performance really doesn't improve...<_<

I am the tie-breaker. :wub:

I wouldn't mind getting the full version of Sygate. :rolleyes:

Here is what I remember as of now:
FSB = 340
Multiplier = 10x
Voltage for CPU: 1.65v

RAM speed = 533MHz
Latency = 2.5-4-4-5

When I first bought the FX55, I had air. I did not even try to OC off of that. Oh and I only had 1 6800U Extreme. Then, I bought the Koolance Exos WC system. Had 2GB's of HyperX PC4300. Got my FX55 to 3GHz stable. Later, I bought the 2nd 6800 Ultra Extreme. Set both up into SLI, running with water blocks.

Some time later, (this happened while I was on this forum) I bought Asetek's VapoChill phase change system, along with 2 more GB's of HyperX PC4300. I got my FX55 @ 3.65GHz. Also, it was STABLE. I could've pushed it more, but my vcore was already at 1.75v (max on my motherboard), and I did not want to risk it. Soon, I returned the phase change (it costed 800$, way too much for a cooling solution even though it was worthit). Went back to Exos WC. Then, I further OC'ed my 6800Ultra Extreme's. But, I had to bring down the FX55 to 3.2GHz.

Now, I have my 6800U Extreme's @ Core speed = 580MHz and memory speed = 1260MHz. I am probably going to take it a little further if I buy the EpoX 9NDA+ SLI or Abit AN8 SLI.

Oh and one more thing.
The reason you might be getting a crappy overclock is the DDR400 RAM. Always better to buy faster RAM than compatible because it allows for more overclocking headroom.

Hope this helps.

I haven't really changed my overclock in a while.

I will look through my BIOS for the rest of the things.

I am seeing many threads regarding this at Hardware Ware Analysis and other places. I thought I'd post my own here. Does anyone else have an overclocked FX55? If so, post here with details like vcore, FSB, etc. If you do not have an FX55, please do not post here. Thanks.

Hey man. Just give it some time. I'm sure ATI's AMR will have just as many 'quirks' as SLI has now. Besides, my system runs fine. B)
