I had an Opteron 144 overclocked to 2.5GHz (4x DDR sticks, 2.6GHz with 2
sticks) so I checked out a few upgrade options to improve my 939 system.
The Opteron was so easy once I figured out how to manipulate the Gigabyte
Triton K8N - SLi mobo. Some software suggested that my HD2900XT would be
better suited to a 2.8GHz CPU so I thought that an FX55 O/C'd to 2.8 or
3GHz should be no problem.
No matter what I do with this the bloody thing just crashes out with a
BSOD.
I've just lost my Vista64 Harddrive and I remeber that it wont repair it
just reinstalls the OS.
Upping the CPU voltage doesnt work, the ratio, FSB and all seem to be
equally lost when I try to unlock the potential of this CPU.
Where am I going wrong?

The FX55 should be easier to O/C due to the completely unlocked multiplier.
I've seen some tests, however, where they just got one that wouldn't do much
at all. Most seem to do 2.8 to 3.0 on air. Tried 12 x 230?
