HCaulfield Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 How much performance will the FX-55 bring over my current processor? The only games that I am currently running right now are FEAR and WoW... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sswilson Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 The sandiego core has an "improved" mem controller as well as the 1M cache so you should not only see better performance @ stock speeds, it should also make OC'ing your mem a little easier. (Big jump for me when I went from a S754 Sempron.... ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLEACHERMAN1 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 so basicly what your saying is I might just be able to pop this 3500 out and pop the FX in and it may be good to go? that is at auot and optim settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sswilson Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 With any luck, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLEACHERMAN1 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Also would the stock FX heatpipe HS be fine to run? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
choke. Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 if was unable to use optimised ram timings before with a 3500+ do you think there is a possibility i would be able to use them now with a fx-55? or is the cpu not the issue. i guess i should just try and see. hehe.

choke. Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Also would the stock FX heatpipe HS be fine to run? you mean the one that came with a retail version of your 3500+ ? or the one that came with the fx-55? with the same socket wouldnt they be the same? i got an oem version....

choke. Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 ok i just saw the Akasa EVO33 Cooler on ebay, it says it has some sort of "liquid technology" for about 46.00 (+ 20. shipping). thats a bit more than 7. but im guessing its nicer than the stock coolers. man now im wondering if my zalman is going to be good enough for this new cpu...
