Hi, i am trying to overclock my phenom 9950BE and have raised it to 3.1 by the multiplier.
I have 260 GTX SLi and it isn't scaling that well in games (crysis benchmark gives a 30% increase), so am thinking of trying to add some voltage and get it stable at a higher clock speed.
Just wondering what is a safe Vcore for this processor?
I understand that it will reduce the life whatever i do, but i would probably upgrade between 6 months and a year and was wondering what would be a reasonable max voltage with that in mind.
I have a decent aftermarket cooler (coolermaster V8) and the temps underload are in there mid 40's so temperature isn't really a problem.
Thanks
Dave
