Is overclocking my FX-53 to FX-55 specs as simple as flipping the multiplier or are there other issues such as memory and heat issues going to crop up? I dont Know if it is worth it seeing how the 53 is damn fast, But the idea seems cool. Any info would be great.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

As you should be running PC-4000 or better, it's assumed you can hit 260x10 without a sweat, with better ram (TCCD) you can get 270x10, and if you have a good motherboard (Neo2) you can hit 280x10 without stressing the chip.
Because of the intergrated memory controller, the A64 series is only effected by total frequency gains rather than FSB bumps.

In order to asnwer your actual question, if you want to bump the multi up to 13, you will need to bump up the voltage to your CPU to something around 1.6 - 1.65. That is going to make it pretty hot, so I'd only suggest doing it if you've got a really really good heatsink or you're watercooling. I bump mine up to 13 and was alot hotter than I was comfortable with, so if you are going to try to go to 2.6, I'd suggest just increasing the FSB to get it. It'll be cooler and you don't have to worry about what Cool 'N Quiet will do to your proc, if you have it enabled
