A friend sent me his PC to overclock it. Does anyone have this CPU?

I get it to act stable at about 3.2 with the forth core unlocked, but Prime95 crashes immediately.

Anyone have numbers, particularly voltages?

The temps are 34-46.

I had that CPU and it was a slug. The dark areas in games looked corrupted and washed out so I then upgraded to a Phenom II x4 940 and it fixed the issues. Also the x3 720 was a slug did I mention.

Well when you get a proper CPU then you will notice the difference. I bought the x3 720 in 09 just to save money because I am a gamer but it was a mistake. The x4 940 was much better for running games. I would have got an Athlon II x4 640 over the Phenom II x3 720 TBH.
