Go into the bios and see what kind of options are available as far as multiplier, voltage etc.... It probably is very limited. As I stated before even if the board has options in the bios the board itself is extremely limited as far the voltage delivery hardware itself.
You should light a match while you pump gas as well!
Yes, it hasn't even been a minute as I returned to 3.4 GHzOriginally Posted by Cyrious
Oh I do hope you're cooling the VRMs on that board well. I have the Biostar A780L board which is the same thing but with a DVI port, and I genuinely doubt the board's capability of running a 4ghz Phenom II X4 without throttling to protect the 3-phase VRMs, ESPECIALLY at 1.5V Vcore. Shoot, I nearly blew up an Asus mATX board when I dumped 1.5v into a 940BE trying to get it to 4ghz. There's a reason why that system is called Charred.
On the otherhand, I now know my board can handle Thuban chips.
I think it's best just to run it at stock , especially seeing the rendering software etc on your desktop. If you could find a reasonably priced board with better power delivery that also featured core unlocking, you may be able to make a lot of gains in performance ( providing your chip is capable of running as an X 6 )Originally Posted by clover309

I have/had 5 of them all but one would unlock to an X 6 on the proper board, the best ones would run 4.5 ghz +. The worst would only run 4ghz as an X 4. Happen to know the batch number of your 960T?
1.52 volts is not good.
I think our cpu can boost up to 3.4GHz. Unlocked and at stock clocks you can try to undervolt. I got mine down to 1.14v. Even lower as a 4 core.

I miss my old 960T. Got the thing unlocked to an X6 and almost 4.9Ghz![]()
Try keeping the CPU at 1.425-1.45 or less. That board should be able to handle that with just four cores enabled fine.
