I see you must have been out of XS AMD section for a while,since the SB750+ Phenom 9950/9850 pretty much contradicts your statement.
Oh and also,AMD just released X3 Black Edition,so X3s will clock good too.
By good i mean anything between 3 and 3.4Ghz ,stable on air.

Really? so 4GHz overclocks are a normal thing on Phenom X4 and X3? i havent seen many

Remember that this X2 goes against Core 2 Duo on 45nm, so if it doesnt scale at least to 4GHz it doesnt have much to do, talking about performance.

Highest Phenom i've seen and with sub-zero temps and i would definetely not call it a good overclock (% of OC compared to "other" CPUs).

If you check some sigs here 3GHz+ on aire is not average

Then go to HWBot and check "average overclocks" for X4 and X3 they are pretty bad

P.S. Seems like we have completely diferent levels of "Good".
