Will the FX57 have that "cold bug"

[newls1]

Im reading at other places that the "SAN DIEGO" cores all have cold bugs. IS this true? When ever I get my FX57, it will be on phase change cooling, is this going to hurt me here? DAMN, if its not 1 thing, its always another. . Is there anyone here that has a "DIEGO" core on phase cooling, and not having issues?

Single stage phase will be fine...it's when it gets to -80 or so that there's a separation between the men and the boys. Very few make it past -100, but when they do they seem to work at any temp.

I think AMD is working to fix that problem though, aren't they?

They've been working to fix the problem for quite a long time.

So, is there any news on how they're doing? I.E. If they think they'll be able to fix it or not?

only like .03% of amd users will ever get it that cold for extended periods of time.

Closer to .0003% but yeah. I think AMD should fix it if they have spare time, haha.
