One of the uber gurus at Xtremesystems explaining the how and why of overclocking Phenoms, and why they are apparently such a PITA to thrash.

Interesting results.

Looks soo complicated compared to the Intels, also arn't clocking as well

I'm not saying they are easy to overclock, nor are they better than Intel at their current pricing.

But should somebody have one and not have the foggiest (including a lot of the review sites) idea as how to overclock the CPU, it will definately come in useful.

I'm completely lost trying to understand that lot - If I went AMD again I'd just get the 9600 BE & a board that'll let me change the multiplier thanks

LOL! [old foagie] This young generation don't have any stamina - overclocking is too easy nowadays![/p;d foagie]

It's not that complicated. Sure it's more complicated than a Core2, but hey. At least they're overclocking them properly this time around, rather than people just coming to the conclusion that they don't overclock at all.
