The 965BE is pointless, either get the 955, 1055T or 1090T.

All of them should reach 3.8-4.0 GHz.

Used to own a phenom ii 555 and on air highest stable oc I got was 4.2, that was with 1.5 vcore through and temps used to hit close to 70C on primer 95 and intel burn.

The phenom cpu's are great for overclocking I found, well OC on a budget at least go Sandybridge

My 550 managed 4.4Ghz stable under my fenrir hitting 60 max load.

my phenom wont do that though.
