phenom II throttles it self at 72C.Originally Posted by Zucker2k
But AMD put such supposition (read tested thermal operating thresholds) into its TDP rating. Bottom line, IF AMD could release a 4Ghz chip today, I bet you a million bucks, they would. The same goes for Intel, and they (c2Q at least) overclock/tolerate heat better with stock cooler, than PHII.
Wasn't PII supposed to have a 300c+ thermal operating envelope (-180+ - 125?
Show me a PHII priming at 90c. I can show you my C2Q oc to 4Ghz priming at 90c.
my temp log volts where ran at 1.700/1.728 volts on load
19:39:17,71°,,,55°,71°,100%,3010.15 MHz,
19:39:27,71°,,,55°,71°,100%,802.71 MHz,
my 9850 would hit 78C before locking up.
