Phenom II 720 OC TDP ?

Forum Overclocking : AMD Phenom II 720 OC TDP ?

Word :    Username :           
 

Hi

I want to know how much the Phenom II X3 720 raises when OC reaching 3.4-3.5Ghz. (My actual 5000+ BA raises its tdp like hell beyond 3.3) that because i´ll be using a GA-MA770-S3 that supports max 125W tdp processors (this mobo has amd 770 nb + SB600, soes anybody knows any oc issues with this chipset combination?).

Thanks a lot!

Hi Sorrento, sorry, I really don't understand what you mean "raises". Raises what? Temperature?

after 3.2 the TDP raises a lot.

my question is, this happens in the Phenom 2 720 x3 at 3.4-3.5Ghz?

Northbridge 770 temperature on Gigabyte MA770 Motherboard stays at 80c and this seems TOO Hot.

I assume that it is very similar , and if you calculate the percentage different you will have you answer

Well I Finally got my Phenom II and I can tell you, at 3.3Ghz it reaches 125W TDP. Beyond there there´s stability problems beacause this mobo is just 4+1.

Will this be a good build to overclock 2500k to 5.0GHz?

I'm the one that told him that a Silver Arrow will get to 5Ghz, so I'll take the blame...
