Phenom 9950 Overclocking

[gOtVoltage]

Thats great voltage for a stable 3ghz OC. congrats on a good chip. Mine on the other hand seems to thrive at higher volts. For 3ghz I need 1.34v for stability.

Been running abit higher than that benching though. Not sure about over all stability but have finished some 3D marks at 3.5ghz. After vantage and 06 runs my temps are still good. anyone else braving high voltage? Im running water btw.

3.5ghz @ 1.63v temps about 50c max after both runs.

Going to see if I can break my personal best at 1M sp 22.172s @ 3.6ghz

Try running GANGED,,with somewhat the same NB speed or 100mhz/200mhzNB less..

Youll get that 21.xxxs @3.6mhz


BIGNOTE: If the NB slowsdown or you CPU score is lower in any bench ,,Its most likely lowVolts on the NB..trust me.

Just watch your temps and ive found my NB uses at least 1.48volts for 2500mhz stable at any ram freqency. ..Just raise it slow and watch temps ,,youll see..
Also differnt ram multi will help with high NB..Some ram multis work better than others even if the Ram freqency is lower than what you had before. Even Mild latency like 5-5-5- with 15 or 18 is a phenon sweetspot indeed.

I always clock what the IMC likes most,,thus trying to have a Low latency above 800mhz it dosnt like too much.
