OC potential of Phenom II on SB600

[Stuen4y]

The difference with the SB600 and the SB750 is the ACC. I think if the SB750 had no ACC it would clock just as the SB600 would.

Another thing that improved at least in the ASUS boards was the PWM. The M3A79-T (SB750), has a much better PWM and was a great improvement over my M3A32 (SB600). So I think the Phenom II will get away with better clocks on the SB750 board, however, it should still perform very well on a SB600 board. Lets just wait and see, only time will tell

Can you explain what exactly is this ACC and how it affects on the clock potential. We know that Phenoms can hardly overclock by HT link and with SB750 this still remains the same like the SB600.

From my experience it looks like each revision of the core gets better performance (even on SB600), so if the numbers we're seeing turn out to be legit, I would expect the PII to hit 3.5+Ghz on an SB600 board.

I'm sure an SB750 would give you better results, but I'd be surprised if a PII wouldn't give at least decent clocks on the DQ6 (or K9A2 ).

If the processor does 4+GHz with SB750, how would I feel? Screwed? Yes I would .

Thanks for the posts. I'll keep the thread open, so if some kind of info appears, please write here.
