I'm somewhat busy with school and other activities, so If you aren't in the spreadsheet right away, just hold tight, you will be
UPDATE: I've spent some time googling around and contacting members of the forum in regard to the visibility of the spreadsheets. A helpful user by the name of munaim1 pointed me in the right direction. Hopefully, the sheets have embeded properly

Post 955 and 965 OC's here.
PLEASE put it in this format
Cpu: 955 BE
Username: ihatelolcats
Stepping: C3
Frequency: 4134.17 MHz
ref*multi: 201.67*20.5
CPU voltage: 1.404
CPU-NB: 1.35
nb frequency: 2621.9
NB volts: 1.3
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1613.4MHz 9-9-9-27 1T
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V formula
cooling: Air/Xigmatek Rifle 120mm
OS: 7 64-bit
GFLOPS: 53.9
(You must run either LinX or IntelBurnTest for at least 5 runs, screen shot required, peak score will be taken) OCCT or Prime95 may also be used for stability
Just to avoid confusion, as it has come to my attention, please include a screen shot to verify stability. But I'll still add you without a screen shot if clock is >5Ghz (with CPUz validation), as it is difficult to get one in such a case
Posts with no verification of stability (screenie) were not added to the list, furthermore, posts a CPUz validation (below 5Ghz) only were also not added. If you wish to be added to the list. Follow the above format and post a screenshot verifying stability.
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 Prime 95, OCCT or LinX. Screenshots showing how long you ran them are mandatory.
Post validations and screenshots please.
Benchmarks are always nice as well, but will not be documented.
Thanks.
Now post those OC's!

This is only for four DIMMs, we can see that they go A LOT faster with 2 DIMMs but seeing as it was rev-amped, we can hope for higher IMC (or in layman's terms NB) clocks

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.

This gives the Phenom II's a lower TDP to 125w on the 955 and 965 and 95w on the 945. The Phenom II series of CPU's performance is directly proportional to the cooler the CPU can run which is where the lowered TDP comes into play. The 965's are given higher overclocking headroom due to the lowered TDP, motherboards can supply more clean power and cooling solutions have an easier time cooling the chips |

Hot chemical vapors are deposited on to the desired zones and baked in high heat, which permeate the vapors into the desired zones. In some cases, ions, such as O2+ or O+, are implanted in precise patterns and at a specific depth by using RF-driven ion sources. New processes to accomplish each of these steps with better resolution and in improved ways emerge every year, with the result of constantly changing technology in the wafer fabrication industry. New technologies result in denser packing of minuscule surface features such as transistors and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). This increased density continues the trend often cited as Moore's Law. |
