720BE or E8400?!

[F430]

you are right, i buy the PII 955X4 :] and i just interest in the 550...

Indeed but apparently according to a lot of forums the 550s have a far greater success rate of unlocking cores in comparison to the 720, some people claim its a near 100% guarantee. I think they are exaggerating slightly.

F430,

This thread is getting ridiculous, its been a few days now and 5 pages, surely you've decided which CPU you are buying by now? Thought you were getting the X4 955 and now you are talking about the 550/720 to unlock cores, make up your mind.

Unlocking the core isnt the gamble. I myself have done it. The gamble is the core being stable. Remember they were locked for a reason.

yes the stability of this oc

Heres your proof....

That is what I meant, owners of the 550 have a better likelihood of having a stable core after the unlock than the X3 owners, according to forums like Xtreme Systems.

Ill take your word for it but I really doubt they do. Remember stable means different things for different people. For me its a solid hour in OCCT.
