It overclocks even higher then what Tom's could do it?!? Nice...I"ll try it, stress test it, and benchmark it. Then I'll post up what I got...

Sorry about all that...here it is:
Everything is @ stock except CPU...which is overclocked to 3.2 to match the 955 speed...

Hi, 
I was lucky my gaming rig booted on the first try...so far so good, except for an intermittent lock-up problem I am having, I'm trying to tweak my way out of this problem before I unlock all my cores.

My stock scores:
| OvrClkr wrote : No, its still a dual core..... You can't unlock with a motherboard that has an nvidia chipset. Only SB710's and SB750's will unlock. |
I see...well I got all cores unlocked and I managed to overclock to 3.5Ghz stable 
My voltage was 1.4
I'm sure I can hit 3.6 and make it stable...I hit 3.8 and it was stable enough to boot windows and run 3DMark06 benchmark...the scores were incredible.
I'll post up a screen shot later, I'm reinstalling windows...

Nice 
BTW make sure you monitor those temps at 3.8Ghz, don't fry it !!!!

What's up with the lock-ups? Mine booted right after the build, I've had no problems with it at all so far...
Can you explain exactly what happens with yours?
| OvrClkr wrote : Nice |
Yeah I kept it at 3.8 just for the benchmark...to see how high it goes.
When I get a better cooler, I'll leave it at 3.5 or 3.6 (I always like setting a little lower than the max)

Hi,
I wish I knew what my lock-up/freeze problem was it is very random, it happens at any time in any App or game, I've spent 2 weeks reading and can't find a solution, I must have installed something that threw it off...I too was able to boot right after I completed the build, it ran fine for 2 weeks then the lock-ups started.
I should have made a note of the time & date, I do keep a record of my Installs & driver upgrades, but I can't connect the two. I will most likely do a Format & OS reinstall and start from the beginning "or" uninstall every thing except the OS, this time I will keep a better Log.
Memtest86 & Drive Fitness Test were perfect, no problems 
I do have one concern with the limits on physical memory for WinXP it is 4GB...my comp only shows 3.25GB of RAM.
| OvrClkr wrote : That is a great heat-sink, its VERY big so measure first before buying.... |
It should fit, I'm sure I have enough room...
| Jim937 wrote : Hi, |
32 bit windows can only recognize up to 3.25 gigs of ram but 64 bit goes way into terabytes i think (something like 128 terabytes)
So you have no problem there...
Hi,.. i O.C my Phenom II X2 550 BE on my mobo with nVidia 720a chipset to 3.41GHz.. with stock cooler.....check the temp.
3DMark 06 scores at 3.1GHz
3DMark 06 scores at 3.41GHz
3DMark06 score with Athlon64 X2 6000+ at 3.3GHz

Hi,
Prime95s first test is ok, the second & 3rd test locks up my computer, it gets completely frozen and does not respond to control/alt/delete, I need to press the reset button. Now I'm worried !
Test #1: [Sun Jul 19 03:20:59 2009]
Self-test 8K passed!
Self-test 8K passed!
| Jim937 wrote : Hi, |
OvrClkr is right...
That probably is a ram issue because the first test uses barely any ram...and the other tests use way more...
Test it with memtest86...

| OvrClkr wrote : IMO that is a RAM issue... have you tested your RAM (1 stick at a time?) |
Hi,
Yes 1 stick at a time they both passed Mem86 again. I ran each stick in Prime95, stick #1 Passed...stick #2 Locked up my comp. I'm getting a RMA from OCZ for stick #2.
Thanks for all the help. I will advise once I have both sticks up & running

Hi,
First let me Thank Videl for the use of his thread, I did not mean to hijack it
This is the part I hate, one stick works at the current config the other does not...now I will change my BIOS settings from AUTO to Manual and use their settings & lets see what happens.

Hi,
Both sticks just passed the Prime95 test only difference is that I set the memory voltage to 17v that is a increase of +0.200v...OCZ tech recommends 18v however the +0.300v setting was in Red so I did not use it.
I also did not clear my CMOS yet, now that the the sticks passed Prime95 I wonder IF I should clear it...what do you think?
I ran a second Prime95 test with both sticks installed & added more torture to this test by running my game World of Warcraft, CPU-Z & E6 all running at the same time...it PASSED see screen shot below !!!
BIOS: Mem Clock X666 = 1333Mhz, 7.0-7.0-7.0-20-28 T2, 17.0 voltage
Why does CPU-Z SPD Tab not match the BIOS settings ???
