Indeed. It's an awesome buy. Last week they were £65 + VAT. Some reading material: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17612536

And then some.

Please don't buy an FX57.

Buy a 4000+ and give hundreds of pounds to charity instead.

fx57 has unlocked multi. that itself makes overclocking for the noob very very very easy.

Yes but I like to think A64 overclocking is very simple anyway.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

not as simple as just increasing the multiplier.

even a 5 year old can overclock fx57 stabily. the fx57 has ease of use when overclocking so noobs can;t mash anything up. and the only fool who buys a fx57 is a noob to begin with.

buy a amd 4000

it will take about 30mins if that to learn how to overclock .. im sure that i would rather just spend time reading then spend hundreds of pounds for no reason

like i said its for noobs. why do 30 mins of reading when you can enter the bios and increase the multi by 1 notch and hey presto "overclocking in under 30 seconds for dummies who get cash from their mummies".

I very much doubt the FX57 will be back in stock. Besides, an FX60 went in the members market for around £250 the other day.

Save £100 for 30 mins work? That's the equivalent of £200 an hour AFTER tax

 

[dante6491]

yes 4000's clock to fx speed, but dont fx's clock aswell?

and they still hold a SMALL amount of willy waving still.

 

[Ghuraba]

Why waste over £300 when pretty well most of the latest San Deigo 3700+ clock to the same speeds! £65 or £350, you decide.

£300, from reading around here 3700's top out at 2.8ghz roughly, the STARTING speed of a fx-57. theretically the fx still clocks above that aswell?

 

[Zefan]

and they still hold a SMALL amount of willy waving still.

No they don't, it's like this to me...

"I want to have a big willy hence have bought this."

Really, anyone who genuinely believes that it holds an advantage over slightly worse CPU's (Apart from unlocked multi) is a complete numpty

 

[Hades]

Hold on a minute. My Opty 165 cost £300 new (probably get it for around £120 second hand now - if that) and runs perfectly at 2.6ghz. While that's marginally slower than an FX57 stock speed it has two cores. So in everyday use it spanks the 57.

For £300 I'd expect more than just one core nowadays.

I still can't see the atraction of the 57

yeah I know I bought it runs perfect in my second rig, building my main rig now conroe should be up and running tomorrow

This is true but are a few hundred mhz worth the extra £250? I don't think so.

The current 4000+ will clock as well as any FX57
