    Extrapolating from the OC chart: Probably in the 3700-3800 range with 1.5V.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    Depending on the board, ~3.7GHz.




    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    Whoa, thanks for that table Yukon! I've been looking for something like that for a while. Very detailed!

    Second chart isn't stability checked, btw. Also, the thread you can find that info in is the very first one in this forum.

    No problem, man. All I did was link the tables. They are in the "List of Phenom II Overclocks" thread on the first page. Also, as Particle says, the second table isn't stress verified, so pay attention to the first one more than anything else, unless, of course, you just want to get into Windows for a CPU-Z screen.

    If you're a buyer, enjoy your new chip and make sure to add your results to that table. I was prepared to get one, but the performance came up a little short for me. Hopefully next round!

    Ah, last time I checked the PII List of Overclockers was a long long time ago lol and it didn't have the chart then.

    I want one of them Phenom II's very badly, but I'm resisting as best as I can 'cause the AMD road map lists 6 new PII's coming out in Feb

    Typical OC is 3500mhz - 3600mhz this is with sensible voltage (@Stock Vcore) and when I say sensible I mean as in like its not worth the extra heat and Voltage required to get the additional 100-200mhz jumping from 1.35v to 1.50v+.
    This is what works for me and I myself am not willing to put up with the Heat output for the moot difference a couple hundred mhz makes
