Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[Sentential]

Just upgraded to a phenom setup from a c2d and so far so good. Just did a quick test with the crummy stock cooler and have 2.8 stable so far. I did manage to get 3 to boot to windows but it bsods in games at default voltage. Definatly looking forward to playing with this one further.

What Chip were you running before? Glad to here you trying out a Phenom. This is the place to be, if help is what you need. I can get 3.0 no ACC stock v's. But anything else I found needs some ACC help and more voltage. Good luck and keep us posted...

Ya thats the one I figured if I were going back to AMD I would go with the thing that was denied to me for the better part of 4 years.. SLI lol

I had a Q9300 and an X38 setup from before. Nothing wrong with it from a tech standpoint it worked flawlessly as does all intel stuff ive had in the past I simply wanted to transition to Deneb and get the most for my equipment that I could before the prices nosedive.

As for results I'm running it stock for now until this Xigmatek gets here, then Im shooting for 3ghz minimum

cool man. The deneb I think is going to be great IMO. I'm glad you're tying out AMD and once you get your Xigmatek keep us posted. We are here to help. What are your temps right now at stock v's? Maybe you can kick up the vcore a bit and stabilize at a higher clock with the stock cooler.

On stock cooler I did what I am now on water, no problem. Of course water runs lot cooler in my rig.

I am at 3.2 GHz for daily settings.

You're probably at a much cooler location that am I, getting about 51c* idle and 60c*+ on load with stock cooler at stock settings

damn that is pretty high. Where do you live?

I live in Southern Florida so its really hott here. Room temp usually between 70-75ºF

I used to get about 38-40ºc idle, and 55-57ºc load more or less.

Now on water I get about 27ºc idle and 40ºc load, sometimes about 41-42ºc load.
