Overclocking AMD Phenom II X3 710

[Cavan]

Hello,

I will soon get the AMD Phenom II X3 AM3 710 .I would like to overclock, but I would like to stay in air cooling . I want to know what is the maximum voltage applied on the occasion, knowing that I will make less in order not to blow the CPU?

Thank you in advance

No. 1 rule is to rise in frequency without increasing the vCore to see the limit. Sometimes we can be surprised. so go step wise .I have an Asus M3A and is perfectly compatible with Phenom II provided not to exceed a TDP of 125 W. On the Asus forum several people have tried to put this processor on this card without any problems because a new bios allows it recently.

I began my tests oc and from the outset, I tape the bar 3.4 ghz (without flinching and without heating, for I against the voltage up high enough to try to rise higher in the future and see if it hold the voltage with my motherboard Gigabyte 790FX DS5) it is compatible AM3 but not the same opportunities that a veritable AM3 in terms of overclocking (absence of the CCA and some options unique to phenom 2) d indeed that is why I could not try to activate the 4th core. with vcore 1.520 good resonance

with my phenomene II able to get 3.5Ghz. Where the voltage through the bios shall be able to 1.42v. In addition, Cool & Quiet running. This is the temperature in windows Idle no warmer than 30 degrees. Often it is the 28graden. And he stressed is not above 45 degrees with the cooler at 40%
