The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[DPGX]

So with the vcore at 1.45v it should still be safe? Im using the Noctua U12P in my sig and I have yet to see my proc under core temp exceed 40C. Thanks :-)

Would anyone be interested in my running tests with the spec benchmark for 3dsmax 9? I'm downloading the benchmark for fun but I could test scaling across a range of speeds from stock to 4.1ghz if it would be of use to anyone. I would do solidworks too, but I'm not sure if my version is the right one for the benchmark.

Please show some stabilitytest-screenies.. like OCCT.. running..
Just to document anything regarding "temperatures" (coretemp=same for all cores on Phenom=one sensor) and other usages than running CPU-Z.

@dawei213:
Some boards/bios'es do not have a problem booting with an "unknown CPU".
Others again will not boot.
My Gigabyte GA-MA69G-DS3H and MSI DKA790GX boot'ed up fine with X4 920, even with a bios "not supporting" PhenomII.
Flashed.. to get "support" (and CPU "ID String") and more otpions in Bios.. for both mb's.
This is the way it should be. There are no special instructions in a new CPU-model that should stop it from booting in a pin-compatible socket.

Where can I grab OCCT?

Here's a little more for you just finished playing with 3dmark Ill run prime a little later... Still not happy with 3.7ghz, I want atleast 3.8 before I give up. Granted this is just 3dmark and not a multithreaded prime instance but here's a little more:



From Coretemp while running 3dmark:
13:39:58,33°,,,27°,35°,92%,3700.40 MHz,
13:40:09,33°,,,27°,35°,97%,3700.40 MHz,

13:42:19,40°,,,27°,40°,95%,3700.40 MHz,

And also my 3dmark score after running:

Should be able to improve that score a bit more, You should be able to pull that score at 3.6 with higher NB/HT.

I posted this in a couple of other forums but for those of you who do not visit those I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news is I no longer have the (ES) chip as I sold it off to someone else so I could get a Retail chip to see if it was pretty much the same. Why do I say that is bad news............well.....it was not a Phenom II 940 BE (ES) AM2+ chip......it was a Phenom II 945 BE (ES) AM3 chip. I just confirmed it today when I took a look at the pins on the AM2+ version and they are different. There are other things that have caused a suspicion as well, but this actually sealed the deal.

Anyway some one is going to have some fun if they can get them an AM3 MB and some good DDR3.

ok this is a sad day, so whats the good news? you got $500 for it?

The good news is that it is indeed a 945 and that we could see some results sooner than later for the 945. Also we now have an idea of how they will overclock on the current platform as well.

I actually sold it for the same price I paid for it + $5 for shipping. If I would have known what it was I would have never sold it, but bought a new MB when they became available.

I would have given them the retail chip and kept the ES....Or even sold it on E-pay

3DM06 does not stress your cores much compared to OCCT.
The cores will never really reach the maximum (stable) temp for your current setup (high end air cooler).

Here is an example from my latest stable testing (I am impatient, and use 30min as OCCt-stable. Note that the temps are still rising somewhat during that session.. I am using water-cooling - 1x240mm radiator).
