for some reason l cant get the fx 55 to clock to 2.9 only 2.8 its not reading hot, just becomes v unstable, at 2.8 its stable and awsome so its getting left there but have any of you had this problem ?
 
It's already clocked high, so don't expect a massive OC on air. Try increasing the voltage, and if you have cheap ram, use a divider to make sure you aren't pushing the ram too hard.
 
Very common, most FX-55's top out at 2.8-2.9 with a very few hitting 3.0 on air. With phase change cooling 3.0+ is almost guaranteed.
