AMD 955 BE Overclocking

[Masterdeadly]

Mines currently at 3.6ghz but I had to compremise with the RAM I believe as that's fallen to 1333mhz. Core temp read Min 37 degrees and 47 degrees max after Heaven 2.5 benchmark.

Wadda ya mean fallen to 1333mhz? They should run 1600Mhz by default... or set them at 1600 with 1.65v

How do I test the overclock is stable?

Probably won't Overclock my CPU now because I just downloaded Core temp - Revision - RB-C2

use fan speed for temps

Play a game, go on youtube, if it doesn’t crash... leave it. I don’t bother with prime95. For me Crysis 2 is the best stress test.

Opps, C2 hey? Never mind, should do 3.8 with some extra volts.... maybe?!

(I know this might sound extreme but i sold my C2 and bought a second hand C3 955BE... only cost me like $40. Have a look for a second hand C3 on that auction site )

Do you notice much difference (with CF/games ) now you're a 2500K man?

Thanks mayebaza. Do you have any other game benchmarks instead of synthetic ones though?
