  1. I have noticed a "problem" in the way HWBot separates the 2 diferent models of 550s, for those who don't know, the "old" C2 revision 550s were Black Editions, they hardly pass 4GHz stable (for benching) under air cooling and they need a lot o voltage (easly over 1,5-1,55v) to acomplish that. On the other way, the "new" C3 550s (wich aren't black edition) need little voltage to reach 4GHz (arround 1,45v or even less) even on stock cooling. This differences makes a problem the time we try to score, for example, in WPrime, where an old C2 550 has a hard time trying to be stable at 4GHz and a C3 550 easly run the bench with stock cooling at the same clock, there's no need to say that with good cooling and more agresive voltage tweaking a C3 is a lot better than a C2 in terms of max estable frecuency, sorry if I can't make a proper example with that, . Here you can see the diferences: C2: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X2%20550%20-%20HDZ550WFK2DGI%20%28HDZ550WFGIBOX%29.html C3: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X2%20550%20-%20HDX550WFK2DGM%20%28HDX550WFGMBOX%29.html They are the only two 550s currently in existence. The good thing is that HWBot has the two categories, for C2s there is "Phenom II x2 550 BE" and for C3 is "Phenom II x2 550" so I think that to be fair with the people who bench with old C2 revisions, we need to move all the remaining C3 resulst from "550 BE" to "550". Thanks in advance, and sorry if I have some grammar errors, english is not my main language.
