well, i dont care if you are 'masters' or not. you had patience with me, taught me enough to speed up my machine a bit and keep it stable. above all else, you made me feel welcome and not like a useless pain in the butt who knew nothing (even tho' it was true!! lol). i thank you all for that and definitely salute you!!

Stick around TPU, almost all of us are like that.

lol, I consider myself somewhat of a master just of a different style. I know I'm not on Chew's level when it comes to super hardcore style...I'm too much of a wimp to go through the training he's been through :eek:

That's why I've got my own style with the low/stock voltage type of clocking. As far as super max clocks are concerned....I wouldn't even allow my name to be mentioned in the same sentence as Chew. :rockout:

You are a master in my eye Kei :respect:

as long as your usual load isnt too high, and youre absolutely stable, even after hours of computing, gaming,browsing, surfing.... it doesnt really matters, if idle is 30 degrees or 40 degrees. as long as your idle doesnt pass 50, everything should be fine;) no worries.:D

id be more concerned about Motherboard temperatures (System Temp) than the CPU.

Consider it sold :rockout:

Forgot to mention that I'm gonna attatch the Thermaltake fan 120mm fan that I've got which is rated for something like 70cfm+ (more than the original Xigy fan). I can't let go of my benching 110cfm fan though, gotta keep something for whenever I get that occasional itch to see what 4Ghz feels like again. :rockout:

Sweet, I'm just not finally letting my Xigy go to a new owner. That cooler is absolutely the best air cooler I've ever purchased in my life. I'm only letting it go because I wanted to play with something new otherwise I likely would never ever ever ever ever ever ever let it go. :D

I even lapped it one day when I was bored along with my 9850BE I used to have....that made the cooler go from simply astounding up to EPIC levels of greatness! You'll love it!

C3 965 on AM2+

Well I just got my phenom II 965 125W in today! I started ocing the moment it was in. I've seen others get 4.0ghz out of the box with 1.51V but sadly I didn't have that success. both 3.8 and 3.9 won't work at 1.47V, 4.0 won't work with 1.51V. All of this tried by simply bumping up the multi and vcore.

Seen below, currently 3.9ghz looks stable with 1.51V. I'm wondering if my old AM2+ board is playing a role on not being able to handle 4.0 easily?

I can't think of anyone who has an AM2+ board and has hit 4Ghz or higher stable with either the 955 or 965 (both revisions) so far.

All of the guys I see hitting the uber clocks appear to be running a full AM3 board. With my 955 I can get 4Ghz into windows and run SuperPi and a few other things, but as far as stability it's not happening right now on air cooling. I can pass post all the way up to 4.2Ghz and get to loading windows, but that's it.

The processor seems very eager to want to get 4Ghz or better, but I think I may have hit a wall with the current AM2+ board. I know I'm going to switch (regardless of cpu clocks), I just don't know when yet.

OK that re-affirms my suspicion. i could boot at 4.0 with 1.51v vcore, but would bluescreen after about five mintues of stress testing on my AM2+ board.

3.9 seems solid so far though!

i guess i'm going for an 890FX board next year :)
