Overclocking 9950BE in a 64-bit OS
I've read a couple different places that Phenoms don't overclock quite as well in 64-bit Vista. I've been using the 32-bit Windows 7 beta for a while now, but I recently got more ram, and I figured I'd give 64-bit a try so all of my ram is utilized. I have a feeling the results would be the same in Vista and 7, but has anyone tested to see if Phenoms don't overclock as well in all 64-bit operating systems, or is it just Vista thats slowing it down?
__________________I'd also be interested to know because sometimes I use Linux, and I wouldn't mind switching that over to 64-bit as well.

I don't think this is specific to Phenom cpu's. I think a 64bit OS stresses the processor in different ways than a 32bit OS. But yes I have seen this effect.

It is not just Phenoms. Vista x64 is not as tolerant of overclocks.
Some people will never notice. When I switched I lost about 20 MHz. Others will notice a more significant impact.

Phenom I's don't oc well on the sb600 board.. like yours. Now if you wouldve gotten a newer board with sb750 then you could see higher clocks.
But 64 bit makes no difference... Also get an after market cooler This is what I have and its awesome!

Their results show that Vista 64-bit does make a difference. I'm just wondering if this is something that all 64-bit operating systems have in common, or if its a Vista specific problem. @Master Chief: I'm thinking of ordering the Xigmatek Dark Knight this weekend.

Good. Well 32bit OS'es are a thing of the past so you should be looking at 64 bit cause 32 wont use all of your RAM...

its harder to overclock in any x64 OS, you take more voltage to maintain the same overclock you had on a 32bit OS. So i overclocking in x64 and make it as stable as possible so it will b stable in 32bit. for me i can hit 3.3ghz on 1.43v in 3bit or even as low as 1.41v but to run x64 i need at least 1.45v with ACC on it goes up to 1.48v. so ea x64 OSs do make a difference in overclocking as it stresses the CPU even more
