A little Phenom II X2 benching.
(A little copy/paste action)
I've had this X2 550 for a while now, but nowhere to put it... ASUS Nordic were kind enough to send a Crosshair III Formula my way along with the OC Station and once I got rid of that buzzing, I got a few decent results in at least. The mobo feels like it was done for LN2 benching, and LN2 benching only. OC Station would've been a bit more fun if you had access to set the voltages as high you do in BIOS, but you can't have everything...
The rig:
ASUS Crosshair III Formula
AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
Crucial PC16000 C9
HIS HD 4890 w/ Zerotherm cooler (crappy sample, hence the clocks below)
Ryba's Semi-Solid rev 4 CPU pot
PCP&C Turbo-Cool 860W
The results:
Sorry for using Imageshack, not much else to use right now...
I didn't make it a too long bench session, and there weren't that many pics, but at least it's something. I'll probably continue tomorrow night.
Lastly, the CPU dumps:

Sweet, new toys 
5ghz+ runs @ around 1.5v is pretty sweet.

CPU-Z reports the wrong voltages, unfortunately. The sweetspot was at around 1.8V, which I used for the runs above.

Ah, makes sense, I'm not very familiar with AMD setups. Thx for clearing that up, I thought maybe another few .2's on the Vcore and you'd be at 7ghz

Oh man I really got to get mine on Extreme cooling
I know it might be n00bish to ask, but what kind of air clocks do you get?
Also any luck playing with 4 cores, and what week chip do you have?

The chip is a 0913. I have no idea about air clocks, I don't bother overclocking on air anymore.

week 13, wow... is that an ES or something? Earliest I have seen so far is 20.
Hmm, decisions decisions, another 550 or save up for a 965...

It is a retail chip, but it came from AMD itself. No ES or anything, that would've been in the CPU name string.
The X2's are just "broken" X4's, so I wasn't expecting anything more than this anyways.

LOL Better?
How many 4+GHz dual cores does AMD have?
This chip is my first time at 4GHz on AMD or Intel. (air cooling)
