OC an AMD 64 FX-55?

[Imaruki]

Is this possible? If so, how can I go about doing it?

Nobody can tell ya .. gotta experiment

 

[Imaruki]

Yes

Crap

Thats what makes OCing "fun"

Yeah, but I don't know about $850 fun though for one proc...

Yeah try:
- Fried 6800U
- Fried Athlon64-3500
- Fried another Athlon64-3500
- Fried 512MB PC3700
...
All within 4 hours of acquiring the stuff The key is, if you fry it, fry it good enough that it doesnt post -- then you can claim the card doesnt have a functional BIOS and wont boot

Unstable as hell though

 

[lilpaul2019]

when u have a really nice fast expensive cpu y do u need to oc it save the mony and fear

 

[Praetor]

The major point of buying a FX55 is to get a fully unlocked chip ... the point of a fully unlocked chip is ... to facilitate OCIng.

Just go get you a Nitrogen Cooling System... and u should have some space to OC it a lil.. LoL (good luck getting a Nitrogen Cooling System)... use water cooling.. if you dont already use it, those are a lil easier to grab

Indeed but do realize that CPU death [by OCing amoung experienced OCers] is caused most often by the voltage levels rather than the temps

use water cooling.. if you dont already use it, those are a lil easier to grab

Well make sure you got a pelt with that too if you wanna go serious
