Phenom II X4 940 Overclocking Unstable

[kolton]

I've got a problem with overclocking, I overclock in the bios The funny thing is even without lifting the cutting operation to get out stable 3450 MHz without any sort of problems, I had the CPU voltage to 1.45 to 1.49 times. But I just can not get over 3.5 GHz stable. For HT, I'm also on 1000 MHz but even it cannot make any difference. I think I missed something or did something wrong or what the CPU is no longer economic, but when I look at it times as the sheep it without raising the voltage to get stable 3.6GHz.

Try taking some time for your PII the right environment with a powerful cooler and a good Overclock board, then everything should be in there. Or You Use your right to exchange and try to give him back the next. Did not the dude in the Phenom II you can try on other board. A Phenom X4 3.0 GHz this requires about 436 seconds, a Core 2 Quad Q9450 creates it within 457 seconds, while the Q9550 seconds for a 431st SuperPi is traditionally a relatively old Intel benchmark, so that you should compare the value of the new Phenom with its predecessor. Overclocking takes time in some of the processors.

I would like to know what are your Vcore values why the values stay far too high. Also have the PII 940 which are installed about 4 weeks. Boars as ice Asus Crosshair II 4x2GB Corsair Dominator 1066. Got the CPU with a Vcore increase to 1.4250 V exactly stable at 4x 3.62 GHz (18.0 x 200). CPU's with me, however, water-cooled and runs under load at 47 ° C. What is the problem why am i not getting the desired speeds.

I also use the motherboard which you are using. It will not be because I'm at 3.6GHz with 1.42V without problems and that the box fan. It boots even with only 1.38 V at 3.6GHz but since he is no longer in Prime safe. Either try increasing your ram or you might have missed same steps. What i can see is your Ram which is just 1066 not enough in this case you can try setting the running time as 800. The Motherboard was once a topic in terms 1066er Ram. i.e. 400 x2 with moderate timings for example 5-5-5-18 T2. at 2.1V. Or 2.2V with 4-4-4-15 T2. Now check the exact speed check it in CPU-Z.

From the upcoming new flagship from AMD, which manufactured in 45 nm Phenom X4 940 with 3.0 GHz, are other benchmarks appeared. This is confirmed by the most recent reports surfaced. These also indicate why AMD is the processor itself against the Core 2 Quad Q9400. The Core Phenom X4 about the performance of a 2 Q9450/Q9550 achieve quad. Unfortunately, the benchmarks for the statements of only limited use, as SuperPi, 3DMark, wPrime and Cinebench not really big on reality have. wPrime 2.0 is used with its 1,024-M test in the sense of well-most likely.
