4GHz@30'c, whats next?

Forum Overclocking : General Discussion 4GHz@30'c, whats next?

Word :    Username :           
 

As the title says, I'm currently sat on 4GHz at 28-30'c idle but I'm no pro clocker hehe, has anyone got any tips from their 975BE ventures they can maybe share?
this uefi is a bit wierd to me and the Be guide up top is yet to shine a light in my ear,
Heres a screenie,

I have to manually set the Cpu volt to 1.325 as the Tx850 overvolts it on auto and racks the temps up
rams at 9,9,9,24,34,2T auto volts
I see Pc stats had it at 4.4GHz, I have had mine there but a tad unstable for use

I'm going to try a mix of multiplier and reference clock as they did, see how that pans out for me :)

Any tips more than welcome, if I hit 4.5hz, I'll sort your cables out :)

Made it :P
41'c idle at 1.5v, and stable enough to surf, upload/validate Cpu-z and the photo, no stress testing though, pity but damn I'm happy

**Edit, re-reading first post, i guess I owe myself some cable management hehe :P**

Originally it was a post asking for help lol, but thats a nice clock there on an unlocked chip, I struggled to get 3.5GHz on my 435/B35 :)

You and me both mate,
two 435's both unlocked and clocked, my Gf's chip hit 3.2GHz but mine was/is better and I've never seen a 975 at 4.5 apart from reviewers pushing them

I tried my usual of running Malwarebytes, M.S.E.(Full scans) and logging into WoW to make it do some work, but it hung up on the loading screen,
V.scans were going fine until that though and surfing/posting here was fine

And I see from another thread you have the 4.5GHz listed again, stable now?

41c at idle is way too high and if you can't game whats the point? I don't know about the rest of the Phenom II line but AMD says max voltage for the 955 is 1.425v. If you can run a benchmark, play games and the system boots then I'd call it stable.

** if you can't game whats the point**

Partially for the 'I can do this' mentality I have/suffer from, but I agree with you, if I can game and run the Pc 'normally' then its good, I don't need the prime or Ibt medals, just the knowledge I can do something is reward enough hehe,
you've inspired me to go back and check WoW on its own at 4.5GHz though,
I'll post updates in a bit
**Edit, she doesn't want to play today :(

IIRC the max safe voltage for a Phenom II is 1.525V?

As long as you keep it lower than 60c you should be fine.
