[XS]Just got Phenom II x6 1055T (Retail)

not sure what your confused about. if the voltage really is 1.53, thats way higher than ANY 45nm Phenom needs for 3.6ghz, even my PII940 dinosaur. which is why i didnt believe that to be the actual voltage. and if you look at power envelopes, 1.53v would be over 200W im sure. to get peek OCing 1.45v is typically the top for air cooling, since as you go any higher, your temps get too high and its unstable. but as we can see hes got his built for benching, so he should be ok for some some 1.5v suicide runs, but that voltage is for water cooling generally.

i just think 1.5v is perfectly save for air cooling w/ good airflow, even up to 1.55 w/ push pull

air - s1283 w/ ultrakaze 57c max on cores


water - loop in sig 47c max on cores

those are quads. and safe vs recommended is different, as temps go up, stability goes down, and most 24/7 people i think run 1.4 or 1.45v, because that last bit gained by 1.5+ is usually small and comes with alot of heat dump. i remember people who pushed 1.7v for a quick run without killing the chips. and my point still was right, 1.53v for 3.6ghz is not whats needed i hope.
