The Phenom II List of Overclocks

[soundood]

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.
