4ghz athlon

just wondering if anybody has been able to achieve this speed, seen a few 3.8 FXs knocking about but just wondering if anybody has cracked it yet

hmmm, and thats an FX55 with the 130nm core I wonder why we're not seeing the FX57s doing that with their 90nm

cascade cooling isn't exactly common & I think there could be cold bug issues with the newer 57's at the required temps to get 4 gig.

they seem to have cracked it though

Yeah i think most fx57's are cold bugged so the crazy temps needed to get 4ghz can't be used.

I know a few people have managed it though, Feels like ages ago Ricky and Pedro first broke 4ghz
