cryptz Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 hi i have been reading the boards and looking at the fx-55 overclocks, it seems most people just set there multiplier to 14 and get up to about 2800mhz. i tried this but was not able to sucessfully boot into windows. i believe it is because i did not up my voltage, but was wondering how much i should up it before i go ahead and do something wrong =) thx -newb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrufdog Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 could be voltage, yeah. but also remember that not every cpu is guaranteed to overclock as well as another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1derbike Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 FX-55 is already so fast, why settle for a measly 200 Mhz increase? Dry-ice is where it's at! Seriously, I have seen but a few OCs worth-the-salt on the FX-55. Do a search. BTW, Scrufdog! Used to live in Annapolis and regularly made the trip to Camden Yards to watch the orioles with my son. Was there in the early '90s. The apartment complex where I lived would charter a private bus, loaded with libations, and actually chauffeur the lot of us to and fro' the games...the best part is, they would also buy-up lots of tickets, and we'd get to go...you guessed it...FREE! Man, I miss that place! The annual crab/beer fest at the Naval Academy Stadium was also a high-point! Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 im starting to dislike the FX-55 myself as being sorta not worth the money (as I can overclock chips that are half the price higher than I can both FX-55 130nm and FX-55 90nm) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jot Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Multi locked or not as u raise the fsb with any 64 your mem raises right along with it. The mem controller is on the chip. The only way not to overclock your mem is to lower your divider. With that being said even lowering your divider as your fsb raises so does your mem.

Angry_Games Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 well...ive always been honest...if I had an FX-55 that I spent a lot of money for...I'd sell it and get as much out of it as I could, and get a San Diego 4000+ or 3700+ for a lot less money, or get an X2 4400+ for about the same price as the FX-55. I dont rag anyone out for buying them...they are super fantastic @ 2600Mhz right out of the box, and most will do at least 2800Mhz...but for $800+ you'd be expecting at least 3Ghz+ but that just isn't the case unless you got some subzero cooling to go with it (add another $500+ minimum for that...yet I can do 2880Mhz on air and on water with a chip that is less than half the price and probably less than half the heat output lol...cept for that new FX-55 90nm...but it dont clock well either dammit) thats just my PERSONAL opinion i've not even started to overclock YOUR FX-55 yet bro lol...still priming away @ stock speeds on a new bios...hoping that this fixes the situation...this is the long stage of testing as 9h+ for each waiting period for something to fail is a lot more boring than seeing it fail every 13 minutes...but it means the road to real progress is sorta being made lol *ahem* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way not to overclock your mem is to lower your divider. With that being said even lowering your divider as your fsb raises so does your mem. your post doesn't make sense to me. Multi locked or not, as you raise the FSB? the poster before was talking about only raising the cpu multiplier, not the FSB. raising only the multiplier does not raise the actual clock speed of your memory. It only raises the access rate of the memory controller that is integrated into the cpu (which is based on cpu mhz, not memory frequency) with an FX-55, you can do 200x15 and your memory still wont clock above 200Mhz (DDR400) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
