Phenom II X2 550 BE

Apparently this thing can unlock to 4 cores and it is cheap as chips. I'll post my results when mine gets here this week.

4 cores looks like a go so far. Ran SuperPI 1M up to 3.6ghz at stock volts on stock cooler. Blue screen at 3.7 but I'm sure that can be fixed.

Stepping is CACYC AC 0932DPMW.

Running into heat issues. 70C+ at 1.4vcore running LinX is not good. Watercooling is on the way.

The stock cooler is really shitty. Not even a copper slug in the middle. I think even the old Athlon XP coolers are better.

So I still haven't been able to get my watercooling installed in my case. Poor guy has been running at stock for a while.
