If Prime 95 is giving errors (1 min of torture test) after I o/c FX-55 200MHz (memory running and 200MHz stock). Does it mean that there is no way I can have this CPU run @ a 200MHz o/c.
BTW, vcore was set to 1.575v

Reason you paid such a premium is so you don't have to chance a overclock. Are you expecting 900Mhz overclocks like a 3000?

No, of coz I am not looking for a 900MHz o/c
However, I would expect a 100-200MHz jump since I invested in a watercooling system.

Ya somethings wrong/ Everyone at xtreme gets 2900-3000Mhz on water with these. Are you passing prime at defauts? What's your PSu and Vid car? Whats rest HW?

Even with Watercooling, the difference between idle and load seems very high. (55c vs. 39c)
Is the normal or is there something wrong with my cooling?
