AMD Phenom II Super PI Action

Had some time to play with the Phenom II X2 550 last night. Not to bad for a $105> processor

Test Setup:
CPU - AMD Phenom II X2 550
Cooling - Xigmatek HDT-S1283 w/Ultra Kaze, Apevia 120mm
Motherboard - ASRock A780FullHD 780g M-ATX
RAM - 2X1GB G.Skill DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
GPU - HIS Radeon HD4850 512MB
PSU - Corsair VX550W


-For starters I did some overclocking with low cpu voltage.





-3.7GHz @ 1.3V>1.328V





-3.8GHz @ 1.35V>1.352V





-3.9GHz @ 1.45V>1.448V





Unfortunately 3.9GHz was the most I could get out of this chip. I'm not sure if its the CPU or the 780g. I didn't have many voltage options to change on the motherboard, but even having the CPU Voltage at 1.55V, NB Voltage at 1.5V did nothing to help me get to 4GHz.


It's a rather low end board though so something tells me I can get to and past 4GHz with at least a 790**/Sb750 chipset.


Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have enough for a decent motherboard, that new Foxconn board is looking good though :cool:

I'm on air. This chip runs really cool. Turns out my benching setup went to waste as the chip ran below 45C throughout testing :laugh:
