If you see a 965 C3 with stepping 0942FPMW stay away from it or run like hell!.
I wanted to get some great scores in this thread but its not worth to give it coldair becuse it clocks to bad on normal air..sad but true. It seens that my luck with cpus/memmorys have runed out.
Keep playing with it man, it's nothing new for Phenoms to be a little finiky....
I played with mine tonight, had it really cold in here with low water temps and cranked the V's pretty high with no luck.
Then I lowered the voltage and got better results! Take it slow and work with it, unless you had a truely GOLDEN 940 I find it hard to believe your C3 won't be a better chip!...

I'm probably not Xtreme enough, but 4.02 @ 1.44v with 2400 on the IMC @ 1.2v is a pretty sweet chip in my book!

Like a woman, sometimes Phenoms need a gentle touch to find out what makes them happy...

I have no doubt there's more in this chip, I just need to figure out what knobs to turn to make it happy...

Keep playing with it and I'm pretty sure you'll be pleasently surprised!
