The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[BertM]

my carefull approach on benching new tech so long is based also on the failing 45nm intel chips we see here at xs.
it is unknown how long amd can run on high oc/voltage, i let the hardcore xs amd guys find that out.

Gotta say, Some lame excuses about stability in here, If you are scared to run prime because you believe your system might melt then its time to bring it back a notch. You cannot redefine stability because you don't want to melt a weak platform.

Indeed. What's the point if clocking the chip so high if any use of that power will cause it to kill half your computer.
Next people will say "it posts, so it's stable".

Define "high" voltage, one would expect that the chips are fine running up to the max voltage as stated by AMD. Afterall, the Intel 45nm chips have been fine as long as they were not pushed beyond 1.4/1.45v (which was the max voltage as per Intel specs I believe).


My personal view is that Intel BurnTest should be used, it "kills" things far quicker than Prime can.
