FX-53 questions

[seh264]

What's the clock speed on this? Do they only have one version? Which is the best one to get?

DONT BUY THIS:

FX-53 is now considered Obsolete, just like 754-pin Athlon 64 are.

better buy Athlon 64 939-pin version with l2 =1MB, u may find it cheaper than FX-53 but faster in performance.

huh? are all FX-53 s754?

 

[seh264]

no they are 939

 

[seh264]

Im told this is the best way to go..... buy the Athlon64 3000+ 939 socket, and over clock it to 3500. the 3200 and 3400 dont overclock anywhere near as well as the 3000.

 

[Blind_Arrow]

no they are 939 pins, but now athlon 64 is taking place of FX's, except FX-55, if i've to write down the AMD's with reference to their design and power, then this should be like that:

1: Athlon FX-55
2: Athlon 64 4000+ and FX-53 = exactlly SAME, just box color is different.
3: Athlon 64 3800+


and sorry, i made a little mistake, its FX-51 that has vanished from list, not the FX-53 (but it will as well SOON)

True, but the 51 never was socket 939, so the fx53 will still preform on all 939 boards, and isn't a bad idea considering it is attemping to be phased out by the 55.

 

[Blind_Arrow]

yes FX-51 was based on opetron @ 940 pins. but it phased out as when they combined both wafers into one chip architecture @ 939 pins. before there were 2 different boards for Athlons 64 and FX' but now you can use any on current boards.

the 4000+ is the same as the FX-53 but it's multiplier is locked... so the fx-53 has more oc'ing options than the 4000+
