Hey Guys,

I have been MIA in OC’ing for little over a year now. Overclocking took a back seat to case modding, and my HWBot points and ranking took a nosedive (5th to 134th). Now I got the itch for speed again and want to bring my rank back up!!

Everyone with the 9950BE / SB750 seem to be having a great time, so I wanted to join in on the fun. The AMD Phenom x4 9950 Black Edition is the perfect chip to get back into benching So here are the current system specs:

CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9950 BE 120w 0831
Motherboard: Asus M3A79-T Delux 0401
Video: AMD 3870 (temporary)
RAM: (2x1GB) Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400
Power Supply: Silverstone Strider ST85F
Cooling: Jinu Single Stage Phase

Here are my initial results from a night of benching. The 9950BE is really fun to bench. I forgot how enjoyable and addicting benching can be :P

CPUz @ 3.86Ghz

1mb Spi @ 21.172s


piFast @ 31.98


Those were some initial runs with this setup. I am going to go through the gauntlet on Single Stage, and tweak to see how fast everything can run.

If the chip is still running, I will take it to DICE. If it makes it through DICE'ing.. then we will have some LN2 fun.
