[misteroadster]

Both Aircooled with 70mm Fan :


it's time to freeze these babies

[VoRtAn_MaDgE]

Impressive indeed...
Somebody put cold on them...very cold

misteroadster superpi stable only or 3d too???

[Mrki]

phuaaaaaaaaa

[misteroadster]

in general when superpi 1M works 3dmarks works with 20mhz less about.

[Crankster]

Those are amazing air-clocks!
Imagine what just a XP-120 could do !!!

[YoupY]

FX-55 definately rocks. too bad they are way too expensive for me.

Can't wait to see benches from one cooled by an cascade

I notice folks posting very large screenies.

Download www.irfanview.com and plugins...

prnt-scr -> open irfanview -> ctrl-v to paste image -> use mouse to highlight only area you want to show -> ctrl-Y to crop that area -> ctrl-R to resize it to 450-700pixels for forums -> save as -> jpeg -> options set at 65-75% quality

= nice small image

MVsnap is also very good screenshotprog.
But very off topic =)

no probs mate, if you folks can get screenies reduced to size it = more screenies you can post

3x 200kb images = 600kb

or

10x 60kb images = 600kb

you choose

this is the FX55's HSF.

[zakelwe]

this is the FX55's HSF.

You know normally I throw the boxed hsf in the pile but to be honest if you get rid of that fan and stick an 80cfm delta on it I can't see the normal extreme heatsinks such as Thermalright etc doing that much better.

I guess when you pay £600 for a cpu they can afford a good quality heatsink.

I wouldn't go that far. It's a great sink for a retail box, but I'd stack it up with a random cheap manufacturer's (example: speeze) top of the line sink. It has heatpipes and thin fins, but that certainly doesnt mean it performs like a thermalright.

Well I should find out next week, otherwise the Zalman 7000 will be slapped on.

if Intel put those babies on a presscott retail package.. that would be smart on their end.. sigh ever since 1992 their fans and stickers on the fans havn't changed.. and they still insist on using crappy heatsinks that barely get the job done..

btw I bet that heatsink performs relatively well.. at least as good as an slk-800.. assuming you place a better fan on it.. strange but in the pic of the heatsink.. it looks like there is space for 2 more heatpipes.. maybe im looking at something odd.. heh amds planning for a future heatsink

[The Virus]

Can you show me the BASE of that stock heatsink if you can???

[blinky]

OOOO SNAP, i gots to get me one of these

[twilius_basic]

That is uber, no doubt about it. Can't wait til some lucky sob's get these and put better cooling on 'em.

Btw, awesome hsf

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

DAMN, I wish I had the money to buy a aircooled setup like that! :drool:

[PlatinumJSI]

Thats it im definatly getting a FX55 come payday

[Av3ng3r]

Drool , thats very nice

[mcnbns]

Holy e. I must say, that heat sink looks quite awesome.

Keep up the awesome clocking!

Must get... Athlon... 64...

[misteroadster]

i'm actually priming the FX55 at 3030 with just a waterchiller and 1,66vcore (1,7 bios)

[OPPAINTER]

Nice looking chip

Can't wait to try one of these babies
