How much would you pay for a used, non-OC'd FX-55?

garetjax · March 31st, 2006

Any ideas?

**simple_inhibition** · March 31st, 2006

now in these dual core days, proly around $400

newegg had a combo deal with the FX-55 and an DFI Lan Party SLI-DR Expert for around $800 ($179 for the mobo, $660 for the FX-55) the deal is still available

*EDIT it was a DFI SLI-DR Expert and the FX-55 was for $660 and they still ahve that combo deal available

I think $400-450 is a good deal.
MaKE sure you are familiar with the person you are dealing with......there are a lot of bad people out therel

I'd say around $400 also..

Keep in mind that if you plan on oc'n it.. FX55's generally shine when under extreme cooling .. So if you going to pop it under a air cooler it might not be worth it..

I had a FX55 that I ran on air for a while before I upgraded to water and it only did a little over 2800mhz stable..

For around $400 you can get an Opty 170.. Most of them will do 2800mhz without a sweat .. And even if you only reach 2650-2700mhz it will still spank a FX55 at around 2800mhz because of the dual cores..

Just my opinion.. I never thought I would like or have the need for dual core but now that I went with one I love it.. It just makes everything smoother..

That's a very good point. For the same about the same amount you can get a 170 and overclock it very well on air. Plus with the added benefit of dual core. I think if I were in your shoes, I would go with a 170.

I'm liking the Opteron idea. Sure, it's an FX. But an o/c dual-core Opteron will be much better. Check out this Opteron 170. Dual-core, $396.99... Lovely.

What core is the fx-55? sandiago or clawhammer..a clawhammer isent worth hardley anything, a sandiago with the right stepping can bring over 650 on a real market.
