The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[merkk1]

With what the power set ups are like on alot of the mother boards prime for 8 hours mite kill the mother board . Some people have lost there mother
board to long prime runs already so they may not wanted to do that just a thought .

according to some, certoun heavy games results in crashes while prime seemed stable.
for me, 3 hours of gaming and a 30minute prime run is a stability test.
prime95 says torture test, and thats what it is, a torture. personaly, i will never run it 8 hours.
also its unknown how long the phenom survives on high oc's.
when i get my phenom, i will not put more on it then 1.45 volt. i will have to see how much mhz that will be.

In my opinion the system is not stable then. And they have gone to far with voltages/clocks. I have never killed a board with running prime for more than 8 hours. But i'm not clocking with high v-cores anymore. Because the performance per watt gets screwed like hell if you raise the v-core.40 watt exta for only 100 MHz. Its not worth it imo.

But i have done that in the past getting the last MHz out of chips to get the highest 3dmark 01 score i wonder how much power that prometia system with a 2.8 GHz Barton was using back then.
