How is this overclock?

Ubercool speed my man... Dunno about AMD and temps/voltages, so no comment from me on that subject. Nice job so far though ;)

The Phenom chips run on pretty high voltages, you can definitely push higher if you temps are safe

For instance my x4 965 @ 4.0ghz takes 1.475 which is perfectly safe (best to stay below 1.5) and stays below 50oC Prime95

Cool if it's 3Hours+ Prime95 stable you should be good

Keep temps under 60oC Prime 95 Small FFTs and keep voltage under 1.5v and crack that 4.0Ghz barrier

Edit: Note also that Phenom II chips suck power like crazy with voltage increases so be mindful if you're already close to your PSUs limits (1.3v is stock voltage I believe for that chip)

Be mindful also that any voltages you haven't altered (presumably everything other than VCore / RAM Voltage) are set to 'normal' not auto

Just mentioning this as it's something I missed when I was beginning.

Congrats otherwise and enjoy :D

1.475 on Air?

guess the new phenoms like high voltage.

The overclock wasn't as good as I thought, my computer started crashing. :P I went back to stock everything for now, hopefully I can get better at this. :\SoraX64

the hexa cores like lots of voltage for some reason put it up to like 3.75 or even 4 if u want.

Why dont you just up the multiplier to 17.5 amd you will get a 300 mhz OC.04dcarraher

if u crank up your volts to 1.4 and its still not stable might need to fiddle with NB and SB volts a bit :p

I have my 1090T at 3.82 GHZ. Ill post my settings once i get home from work. Im 100% stable under Prime 95 with temps below 60C. Trying to reach 4.0ghz, but PC always crashes once I pass the 16.5 Multiplier and 232 CPU MB bus.

Also give this a try ! I will. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a7AxZJ7tWc&feature=relatedrobertoenrique

i actually think you guys can but anything over 4.0ghz needs watercooling though...

[QUOTE="robertoenrique"][QUOTE="SoraX64"] Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. :DNeo_revolution7

I really think that we should be able to reach 4.0Ghz. Cant wait to try this and run 3dmark 11 again! Specially after Ocing my GPUs. robertoenrique

Sorry for all of the questions, but I have a couple more. :P Okay, so I worked with the settings in that Youtube video but changed things up a bit. I then used Intel Burn Test 10 times and had success. My max CPU core temp was 53C. How many more times should I run Intel Burn Test before I can assume that everything is stable? I was told the Burn Test worked just as good as Prime95 but quicker, so I'd rather use that.SoraX64

just use prime it then use linpack.

K so I OCed my Phenom 1090T yesterday to 4GHZ, i increased the CPU MB Frequency to 243MHz aprox... I also increased Vcore to 1.4 (used to be at 1.39). Well all in all these settings were not stable, Core 6 stopped working after test 3 under Prime 95. I know I should increase my Vcore but the temps are too high. At 4Ghz my CPU was sitting at 44C Idle. My room temp is just too high I think, im gona have to buy a small fan and place it behind my case.... robertoenrique

what were the rounding errors with prime it can either be ram timings or voltages.
