AMD® Phenom™ II Overclocking Thread

Set 1.575 in bios, is actually 1.51v but under load drops to 1.46.
C&C is disabled.

No LLC on this board :(
HWmonitor actually reports it drops to 1.07v at some points, but I cant see that happening, it would error prime at the least

Martini1991. it depends really... if u get a top high-end air cooler with 2 high CFM fans (yes very noisy) or even get a top high-end water cooling setup, it may just do it.
 
I don't know about that gareth, mines under water, and at 4ghz on prime max heat/power consumption test (its my personal fav, 2 hours of that first and then I go onto other tests) I am hitting around 49/50 deg.
Admittedly the AS paste hasnt yet burnt in as the cpu has only been installed for a couple of hours, but I think that test with 30 full load on a quad would be hard to achieve on normal water or air.
 
whatever voltage its running at the time lol, currently reporting 1.465 as thats what cpuid and hw monitor say !
Surely they should all be the same vid as it would be a nightmare for amd to list individual vids for all 965 c3 cpus ?

I know what you meant, just unsure as to how to find out :) I assumed all c3 were 1.375
When I booted into windows with all stock settings (auto) it was reading 1.3xx.
