I'd say it spanks the 55 on OC

3700......2200 -----> 3190 = ~1000 MHz OC
FX-55.....2600 -----> 2900 = ~ 300 MHz OC

Who'd a thunk? 😕

Nice job :thumbsup:

OOOOOLD chip vs new.

Default clock means NOTHING.

A 3700+ at 3190MHz is still pretty awesome if you don't need dual core.

When did this $139 deal happen?!

Couple of weeks ago. More recently there was a $199 deal with a "free" 250GB SATA HDD.

I sold one of my FX-55's ($139 one from NE) on eBay and the buyer said he hit 3Ghz @ 1.48 volts with ease.
