*Phenom II X4 9x5 OC Thread*

[Slappa]

Hey guys. Post 955 and 965 OC's here.

There is a lot to be tackled with these new AM3 Quadcores, that is why I have created a thread to focus on these specific chips. Many people may complain that this thread should be merged with the other Phenom II thread....but I want to put these Quads specifically under the scope. Feel free to submit OC's to either one.


I'll start a chart. Give as much info as you can. Results can also be updated or filled in. Please make a new post to do so.

Stability testing must be done on a program that stresses all 4 cores (ie P95 is recommended). Run it for 3 hours minimum, and be confident it is very stable. Screenshots showing how long you ran it are mandatory.

Post validations and screenshots please.
Benchmarks are always nice as well, but will not be documented.

If a mod reads this, I eventually want this to be made official.

Thanks.

Now post those OC's!




Extra Info:

The 965 chip is on the horizon and I am going to start another chart once the chip becomes retail. This will be a thread for both the 955 and 965

Electron Migration or "Leakage" Explained
-These chips love low temperatures, and low voltage.
-Instability can be helped a lot by upping the CPU NB Vid a few notches.
-Bluescreen crashes are related to IMC/Memory instability, Black screens related to cpu clocks/voltage and freezes/sudden restarts related to temperatures.
-Higher overclocks are reached in 32-bit windows
-When OCing, start with the Ram and NB OCs FIRST. This helps to ensure that you eliminate all other factors holding back a core OC from stability.

Absolutely. Will update as much as I can. Will most likely be daily. Will not stop updating until this chip is dead and gone

I'll also get my results up later tonight possibly, just a little busy right now.

Mine will be here tomorrow. board arrived today... DFI AM3 goodness. yummm

Will edit w/ batch ID later and OCs.

Awesome. Really curious on the DFI AM3 boards. I'm looking forward to solid results. Give me as much info as you can.

C'mon where are the results. So pumped (=. Plz make a chart.

Looking for other people to start building up results. Will make a chart when I have a few submissions.

Very busy ATM, cannot post my own yet.

Just a quicky OC. My new cooler and fan coming next week so I didn't bother to install second fan and me so tired also. Tomorrow I'll jump higher.

OH SNAP!! My 955 is "Out For Delivery" along with my replacement HX1000. Will be rebuilding my system when I get home from work and I'll be up late tinkering with it. Hopefully I'll have some results to post late tonight!
