    Phenom II 955 BE @ 4.9ghz 1.425~1.45v

    Over the weekend I ran a 955 BE on DICE. I got to 4800mhz @ 1.425v cake... I started running into Windows 7/Vista boot issues for my max cpuz validation at 4900mhz; However I did manage to capture a validation on 4900mhz @ 1.425~1.45v (can't remember excatly - at school -).

    I would really like to see this chip hit a 5000mhz core.

    CPU is stepping C2

    Why only 1.425v? 5GHz should be cake with abit more?

    Sil3ntSnip3a,thats an awesome chip you have there.and its a C2 to boot
    i think 5.0Ghz is in your future for sure with the vcore required for 4.9Ghz

    I'm at school right now. Going to get some pictures up when I get home. But I tried to boot into windows at 5000mhz @ 1.475~1.5v - No luck! Maybe I just need to play around a bit more...

    Hope to keep this thread alive to get some kickn' scores running!

    edit: maybe XP is easier on the chip to boot into for a cpuz validation...? What tends to be more preferred?

    1.62 is really safe, 1.67 is probably the limit for DICE. Push it!

    Here are some pictures of the rig for you guys! I got a few screenshots of some of the successful boots etc..





    - Got my first experience with installing an OS while blowing my DICE Won't make that mistake again...

    Just a start for my chip for now... I've got a busy week though! I hope to hit 5200/5400mhz on this chip!!

    -Only running the 2 cores for a higher CPUZ validation

    Enjoy!

    I've done that. heh I've done 2-3 OS installs while cold. What I really love to do is play games that are CPU limited under DI.

    As for voltage, I'm with them. It's safe to run 1.6x under dry ice. I think I've personally run as high as 1.7x on the 955 I was using (a total dud compared to yours). Heck, 1.55V is safe on air if your temps are reasonable.
    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.

    Looks like a really clean setup my 550be clocked similar to your 955 c2 I topped out at 5062mhz for a validation on dice. I was also using dual channel ram :p try using k10stat in windows to bump the vcore and multi up.

    For safe volts I ran a rb-c1 945es with 1.6x volts 24/7 on water and as high as 1.8v on dice it did fine with that most other c2 chips I clocked on dice did around 1.63-1.67v to hit there max clocks. Validation for a couple of my chips is in my sig if those settings can help you any

    Chicken increase the voltage 1.65v is no problem, even 1.7v is manageable under DICE for validation

    I'll be throwing up some more DICE results this Sunday. I would like to get a bid on a dewar rental from Airgas to see what my chip can do!

    - Stay posted....
