rourkchris Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Man that's a goal! That would be a 556 FSB. Wonder how muh voltage that would take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorax the Impailer Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 First of all hi every one, i know this thred is over a year old now but thought i'd try it B4 i posted my own thred. I have recently built a new rig with a phenom II 940 BE, and can't seem to get passed 3.62Ghz without massive voltage applied so i have tleft it @3.62 Prime95 stable 24/7. I really would like to get to 4Ghz with my set-up... Note: I have Windows 7 Pro x64 but could not even get 3.62 stable so i switched back to XP x86 Windows XP Pro x86 with SP3 Phenom II 940 BE @ 3.62Ghz CPU Cooler - Cooler Master V10 with TEC 200+W Cooler Master Storm-Black Gaming Case 1x-140mm 4x-120mm Fans ASUS R.O.G Crosshair II Formula 780a Tri SLi 2x 1GB of Corsair XMS2 Matched Pair 800 5-5-5 12 Unganged (will be buying 4Gb of 1066 RAM soon) 2x 8800GTS 320Mb 320bit in SLi (stock speeds) 2x Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 7200 32Mb cache Raid 0 640W Enermax PSU with Cable Management My CPU voltage is at stock 1.39V and is Prime95 stable over night with max temp of 45c and an idle temp of 27c CPU-NB is @ 2200Mhz with 1.45V I have got the CPU to 3.9Ghz but was not stable enough, i'm not quite shure what the temps were off the top of my head. The thing i'm having real trouble with all the time is the CPU-NB and HT it's so confusing. Note: I have read the Phenom OC Guide and am still too confused nothing worked even at 3.7Ghz to 3.9Ghz i just could not get it stable even with large voltage increases, i was even bold enough to go over the specified safe CPU voltage of 1.5V Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Try upping your CPU-NB freq, and set HT to 2000mhz and never change that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 When you start increasing your HT link you need to raise the NB VID voltage as well, a lot of people miss this and it can cause restarts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has. The limit for the chip is 3.7-3.8Ghz(stable). They just cannot break that limit with reg or watercooling. I struggled for months and got 3.72Ghz stable with 1.575V on vcore. If you want 4Ghz with AMD stable, you need a 955 C3 or above CPU. I got a validation at 3.9Ghz but thats it.
