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.
Unofficial Phenom II x2 550 Club!

woah...you broke 1.425v for cpu...according to newegg that was the recommended limit.

but may i ask, why are te quads limit at 1.55 and the duals are at 1.425?

 

[raikky]

but, its not limited to 1.425.....

1.425 is recomended limit. doesnt mean you cant go past it

 

[jbranton]

Just purchased mine this morning. Looking forward to it.

 

[wahrheitoderpflicht]

Haha count me in... 4.085Ghz so far http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=589436
Clock speed - 4085Mhz
FSB x Multi - 215x19
Vcore - 1.504
RAM speed - 860Mhz (800Mhz Stock)
NB Speed - 1720Mhz
HT Link - 1290Mhz
Motherboard - Biostar TA790GX A2+ (Jan 09 BIOS)
Cooling method - Lapped Arctic Cooler Freezer Pro 64

I have not tested stability on the above settings, although I have tested it 10hrs Orthos stable @ 4Ghz

Oh and its also quad core unlocked

 

[jameskelsey]

Unlocked 0922APMW

Just got my Corsair Hydro H50. Going to start OC testing this coming week.

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.

 

[Fitzbane]

I have mine OCd mine to 3.6ghz stable dual..

also unlocked at 3.1GHZ quad stable, going to try OCing this soon.

Will post more infos later.

Well these are quad's with two cores disabled, they will take 1.6v just as good as a quad, but with two less cores they will not need it.

[vincentfkc]

how can u show unlocked 4 cores?

 

[sarngate]

You might want to delete my previous entry, the 2 other cores were unstable. Managed to get this on stock which i'm happy with:

 

[raikky]

anyone know if im able to unlock the 2 cores with a crosshair 2 780a. im not sure what you need to do to see if you can. i kno its only first poissible if the 2 cores are just dsiabled but not sure if i need to downlaod any software

No, you can't. nForce motherboards don't have a real form of ACC.

I think some other user did this by enabling NCC (nvidia's form of ACC).

 

[raikky]

any diea on how to do that?

 

[jameskelsey]

It may only be in a newer BIOS version too.
