Can't wait to use this sucker.

After you verify it works properly, lap that sucker!

You know you want to. Give in, Phenom II's are amazing

I just put the chip up against some glass, and it already looks pretty flat!

Thanks! I'm pretty excited to get this thing going!

I actually had that same chip two months ago.
I traded my E7300+P5K-SE mobo for a Q6600, that I am now selling. I then upgraded to this Phenom II.
I'll never buy another Intel chip again

Geeze, am I the only one with an 0901 chip?

if you're wondering why it's red, the ONLY way I've been able to get a picture of these chips with my mom's computer is to take it in pitch black, with my finger over the flash. My finger turns into a red filter lmao

LOL very nice.
When and where did you get that PH2 from? It could be that the store or wherever you got it from is already on a new shipment/batch.
Does that stepping OC nicely?

Those temps seem abnormal for only 1.44Vcore. The PH2's are supposed to run pretty cool. I would remount the heatsink and maybe reapply TIM.
Try not to let any processor you own to go over 60 degrees celcius 24/7 .

I could set it to 1.5v then ramp up the multi till it fails to boot windows, tick it down 100mhz, then start lowering the voltage and priming it. (i ordered this chip saturday, it came in tuesday) |

Thats quite a high room temp!

Yep. 1.55Vcore is the absolute max on air from what I hear.
You say people fail stability at around 52c+? Thats odd.
I guess I'm lucky since I have a TRUE 120.
Anywho, thanks for the info

(I will say this though, my motherboards CPU temp sensor IS reading the same as it was with my 7750BE at 3.2ghz with 1.44v under load, but my room temps were 5-8c cooler) |

A good voltage guide to go by is: 3.4Ghz - 3.5Ghz can use stock volts. 3.6Ghz 1.4v - 1.45v 3.7Ghz 1.45 - 1.5v 3.8Ghz 1.5 - 1.55v Max safe on air is 1.55v. I'm at 3.7Ghz with 1.48v. I thought I could get 3.8Ghz with 1.537, but even with 1.56v I can't get stable with heat issues. Well, good luck and have fun. |

Thats very weird. I'm guessing idle with your ambient temp should be around the 33-38 range.
Originally Posted by Nenkitsune hmmm I almost don't want to trust the core temps with this board. the onboard cpu temp reads 32c, the core reads 39, but the onboard sensor (not the cores) is able to see temp changes MUCH faster than the core temps |

at 1.44v I'm idling at 30-31c, and the ambient temp has dropped to 80f but the cores are showing 38-39c which is very weird. though, I haven't had a chip with a good accurate temp sensor ever since my s754 Newcastle, and THAT chip only had a 2c difference between the socket cpu sensor and the core sensor.

nen as far as i have observed the 09xx batches are hard to tame same goes with the kuma batches having 09xx batch codes..its a voltage sucker and once you try stressing it using OCCT or prime..poof it goes wangg..but if you try gaming on it or benching on it while OC'd they are stable enough to finish the game or bench through with out probs..

dude i can reach 3.7Ghz with just 1.4v..very stable..how come your eating 1.5 on those clocks..my stock voltage can run a 3.5Ghz overclock..3.6Ghz with just 1.375v on it..
