Amd Fx60

[Cosgrove]

Hey Folks- I got my FX60 Processor today, installed and up and running. In my efforts to get a dual core FX57, i managed a simple overclock to get it running at 2.9 on air. i did 207 x 14 with a voltage of 1.4. :laugh: I might try to go higher but for now i hit the goal of getting the core speed to FX57ish. im idling at 38 C and load is between 51-55 C. I hope this helps anyone interested in purchasing or overclocking this bad boy.

specs:
DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI DR (11/14/05 BIOS)
AMD FX60 @ 2.9 (using Zalman cnps9500led HSF)
2 GB Mushkin PC3200
2 x XFX 7800GTX
Soundblaster X-FI

Nice chip, nice overall system, at what resolution are you playing?

Hey Darksniper thanks, I have a dell 20 inch widescreen, so i use "+szx 1680 +szy 1050" in the desktop shortcut to get it to fill the screen. 1680x1050 i still get smooth gameplay. I am not sure how to check the FPS in game tho.

Sweet, I've got the FX-57 myself and have been drooling at the 60 since its release :)

How much did it cost?

Re: Amd Fx60

Typical as it is, I paid the same amount for my 57 about a month ago. Oh, the joy of buying the fastest stuff only to see it beat both in price and performance a couple of weeks later :p

But how stable is it? it needs to be rock solid stable or what is the point?

Re: Amd Fx60

Try your PC in 3Dmark06. You'll probably get around 8000.

hey friend, the overclock i managed to get is stable, i got 10932 in 3dmark05 @ 1680x1050 no AA no AF and 4112 in 3dmark06 at default settings. was playing city of heroes and bf2 special forces earlier, no hiccups or heat problems.:)

Re: Amd Fx60

if you got 4112 with the default settings that dosent seem right since your cpu blows mine out of the water plus you have another gtx and i got around 3000

hey KFJ- i was surprised at the results as well. 3dmark06 is still fairly new, so im really not sure what a good number is yet. Berrern got 3579 with his fx57. so with his rig and mine being so similiar i think my score is about right.
