Anyone OC the FX-55 San Diego yet?

There won't be any FX-55 on other core than Clawhammer. But there will be a new FX-57 on San Diego core( same has venice, but with 1Meg L2 cache).

It was discussed in here though I know I saw it the first time at 875 but I cant seem to find it this time....Did Newegg remove it??? Maybe a typo??

Correct information.

There are no plans to revamp the FX55.

I have a FX-55 (San Diego core) from NewEgg. Got it today.

 
Yep, NewEgg definitely appears to have an FX-55 San Diego....

Man, that's the only thing that could make me swap CPUs right now. I do love my 3700+. I hope someone starts a thread with OCing results soon. I think I'm very satisfied in any case for at least a year and then I'll swap out for a dual-core....

What's still funny is that nothing is guaranteed. I'm getting FX-56 speeds now with a 500 MHz overclock Prime stable, which is a bit low compared to some others. Getting the FX-55 SD chip for three times the money guarantees nothing. It's the same core. I'd be p*ssed off if I choked out the money and didn't get 3 GHz on air.... That's a big gamble.

it's a hell of a gamble, and one that isn't worth it.. Or at least I don't think it is..

Stick it out with 2.7 for awhile.. Or sell your 2.7 and try your luck again with another San Diego.

Too true, too true.... doing another cpu swap now sounds a bit too much like work to me. I think the case is staying on this puppy for awhile.... Still, it's good that AMD reved their FX-55. People may get some good results and at least will have better thermal results.

That's a killer overclock you have, by the way.
