Default Official Phenom II x2 550 Club!
Updated Signature code: This sig looks a lot better than the bland one I put together. Special thanks go to Foxy@OC'D for making it and allowing me to post it here for everyone to enjoy.
PHP Code:

I haven't seen a thread like this so I decided to make one. This will be a thread to discuss the phenom II x2 550: overclocking, unlocking cores, general discussion, etc... I will make a spreadsheet on google spreadsheets of overclocks achieved and give someone else permission to edit it if they want to help.

If submitting an overclock, please include the following (this order would help too for organization):
Clock speed
FSB x Multi
Vcore
RAM speed
NB speed
HT Link
Motherboard
Cooling method
CPU-Z validation would also be nice.


vnv727 is now helping with the chart. Thanks to him very much! I am no longer updating this, PM me if you would like to be able to edit it on google docs along with vnv727.

3.9ghz @ 1.5v and 4 cores (under load it drops to 1.488v.) Prime95 stable for over 5 hours, which is good enough for me.

Now I've decided to run as a dual core because I personally don't need a quad. The MSI board works great for unlocking though. 4ghz @ 1.505v (1.488v after vdroop)

The only reason i'm so happy with that is that it's stable on stock cooling. I won't push it further than that until i get myself a decent cooler.
