Phenom 2 965 air testing

[Titan7171]

Well I got my cpu today and Im extremely happy with what Im seeing so far.

Previous cpu was 940BE running at 3.7ghz@1.53v.......3.8ghz was possible but during the cooler winter months.

Mobo is Asus M3A79T-Deluxe with newest bios.

Memory is G-skill 2x2gb DDr2 1066.

This info is not for setting extreme records or speeds but just testing out the cpu speed alone nb is 2000 and so is HT, memory is runnign at rated 1066mhz.

Put the cpu into the mobo but didnt clear the cmos before doing so so it kept my currenty oc for the 940 which was 3.7ghz@1.53v nb 2600/ht 2600. so I cleared the cmos and checked the settings all clear checked the voltage on cpu it was set to 1.44v stock so I booted into windows , everything is fine.

Reboot to the bios and decide to set the voltage to 1.4 nd start ocing the multi.....I set it to 18.5 for 3.7ghz and get to windows without a hitch so far so good I load up wprime and run 1024 its goes through no problem then into
3dm06 and it finishes both 3.7ghz 1.4v

I took the screenie at 99% for wprime just before it finished so yu could see it got to the end.





So my 940 would never get through any of these at 3.7ghz 1.4v.

So Im like ok lets do 3.8ghz 1.4v

wprime



32m super pi



So in essence this cpu is doing 3.8ghz@1.4v in the summer with 31c ambiant compared to my 940 that took 1.55v for 3.8ghz in the winter and had to drop to 3.7@1.53v.

Ill continue doing tests
