Hey guys, just got my 955BE system up and running, anyone know what the limitations of this chip are, it has a higher factory clock speed than my 1055t by 400mhz, but it doesnt seem to be anywhere near as stable over 4ghz, anyone got a 955be that can help me :D
 
I think im limited by my £30 board in this tbh :P barely any overvolting options, just generally not much to play with, decent board for £30, but it has really slow bus speeds compared to my main rigs board :o
 
Don't fret people, i'm back! :D


It won't go past 4.6 as it crashes after about 5 minutes on Prime95. 4.5 is fine however the temperatures were worrying, it hit 62C within about 30 minutes and hovered between 62-64 which is way too high. Running it at 4.4 now and 1.45 volts and under prime95 it hits 61 tops though when gaming it goes to a maximum of 56-58 and this is BFBC2 which is extremely well optimized for 4 core CPU's.

Well happy with the result, I think that 4.5 would be easily done if this was under water but i'm only using a cheapo Coolermaster Hyper TX3.
