I am wondering if it is safe to even try overclocking a phenom ii x4 965 black edition to 4ghz with a corsair h100 water cooling loop.
 
Solution
Myself. Look at these threads around here. This one is especially awesome:

This is what I have been using lately though.

I had my 965BE overclocked to 4.3ghz with air cooling! :)

It was one of the CPUs I used, to write the Black Edition Overclock Guide.

That CPU is still in use today so I would say it is safe to overclock it to 4ghz, and further with that Corsair H100.

Grandpa, was that when men were made of steel and ships were made of wood?

We'll I have the 100 already. I increased the multiplier to 20 (black edition has unlocked multiplier) and ran prime 95 for about two hours, it didn't go over 42 c. Is that a pretty stable oc?
 


I'm not a grandpa, but definitely old enough to be one, and the ship I served on in the Navy was made of steel with a rubber expansion joint, my back porch is made of wood though, Does that count? :)

All the men I know are made of tenacity! :)

 


lol. I was also for 8 years,..
