Accidentally double posted? lol
Remember to post results, and if you spent $1100 on a CPU, you better have the same amount to spend on cooling, lol.

Heh, that pretty much doubles the cost of the computer in my sigcastroman said:
Waste of money imho.

I don’t think there is much point of buying these chips when much cheaper dual optis will reach the same speeds. I guess non-ocers with money to burn will buy em up though..

Cool.... BTW ya other CPU's might OC to this speed for a fraction of the cost, but its about getting a CPU that will go much further. Most hit around 2.6Ghz a little more 2.7, slight few get 2.8-2.9Ghz.
I can see someone buying it but its just too rich for my blood to buy it

I have my X2 4800+ clocked in at over 2.64 Ghz right now, barely touching the Vcore and on air cooling to boot. Can I call my processor an FX-61? Spend your money on the same chip, the 4800 and OC it to FX-60 specs on air cooling and stock vcore. Save yourself $600 to $700... Better yet, buy an X2 3800+ or Opty Dual Core and overclock it to 4800+ 2.4 Ghz and save yourself $1200..

The same argument is made time and time again,
"BUTZ IFZ I OVERCLOX TEH ODTHER CPU'Z ILL HIT TEH STOX SPEED OR HIGHER"
Not pointing fingers or mocking here, but I hit FX-55 speeds on my 3500+ but the FX-55 will own me if its overclocked. With other chips this may be that l33t speak above might be the true, but with it being the FX line I'm willing to say it'll clock VERY high. I mean aside from the FX line what other AMD proc has broken 3.5ghz (maybe a REALLY good opty here or there, but that's very rare, so rare that if you're counting on that you're pretty misled).
My point; if you want extreme clocks the FX is the only way to go, no way around it. However I would not reccomend this to the average consumer, this chips is defnitely for hardcore enthusiasts willing to drop a few dimes on phase/ln2/other extreme cooling.

Indeed you are correct with the FX line. However, the old FX line that you are talking about (FX-55. FX-57) is a single core processor. The new FX-60 processor is completely a Dual Core X2 Processor from the same exact product line of the 3800+ to the 4800+. Theoretically you could call this FX-60 processor an X2 5000+ Thats why I made my argument. I mean, take a look at the FX-60 box, it is completely based on the X2 product line:
Now, if you want extreme single core performance you are right. FX-57 all the way! Its money well spent.
P.S. You are also right, I fully except you mocking and pointing fingers about my lame "overclocking a lower processor" argument that has been used over and over again. I was just a little excited and ****ed off about the price gauging going on with this FX-60 processor. Especially the fact that it is based off of the exact same X2 product line.

from what I read at anandtech, the cpu doesn't oc very much, they got 2.814 out of it (on air) at 1.5V, but I bet with better cooling (water/ln2/dice/phase/etc) you might be able to squeeze 3.0 out of it, which would outperform the FX-57 (at stock) in probably alll gaming tests as well.

I already have a 2.6Ghz dual core K8 and I didn't spend $1300 on it.
