Hi everyone.
I have a Phenom II X2 555 BE with all 4 cores unlocked and currently running at 4.0GHz super stable with 1.45v (which I believe it is a bit too much) on a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Watercooled by the old Corsair HydroCool 200 http://www.modthebox.com/review264_1.shtml with it's tubes replaced by 1/2" and waterblocked replaced by this awesome Greek OCLabs monoblock http://www.oclabs.com.
Idle temperature (on a summer night) 26C and With Prime95 running for like 20min 44C.
Problem is that I had 7.7 CPU WEI with 4 cores at 3.4GHz and now after OC at 4GHzI have 7.5. I got to 4GHz by only raising the multiplier and voltage. Am I doing anything wrong?
The other day I heard an Intel employee saying that sometimes its better to lower the internal clock and raise multiplier or the opposite. Is that true? Can that be the reason?
