amazing hardware available today. I would like to see smp Rybka with this processor. Also would be very curious to see how much depth increase will increase strength with Rybka. One bonus which the Athlon64 FX-60 model has over prior Athlon64 X2 processors is that the FX-60 is multiplier unlocked, giving overclockers a chance to push their expensive new toys to even higher clock speeds if they so desire. The CPU has a default multiplier of 13x (2.6 GHz), but can easily be pushed up to 13.5x (2.7 GHz) or 14x (2.8 GHz) without bumping up voltages or needing extra cooling. However, going beyond 2.8 GHz gets tricky, and typically will require hefty boosts in voltage. We were able to get our chip up to 2.9 GHz (14.5x) by bumping up the voltage from 1.35V to 1.45V. We were able to get the system to POST and run shortly at 3.0 GHz clock speed, but the processor was highly unstable at this speed.
