Well not overclocking but still a perfomance mod

[lashton]

OK, we all know about performance modification, I overclocked my phenom 2 X4 955 to 3.8 GHZ and gave it "beans" (not litterally) and while thats OK, it runs a little hot 50-55 under load, I found the CPUs real calling was (as the SS below shows) running under voltage and running cool, At 8:27am I had the cpou down to 24 degrees, this was NOT in standby and the monitor was on, the Computer just sitting there idle, and I also managed to Overclock this CPU to 3.8GHz at 1.200 volts.

here is the Overclock for you people

Here is the low temps for you people

UPADTE
Check this out The VID, Voltage im running at and temps (dropped to 33 while uploading this pic)

Very cool, pun intended But you got the same picture posted twice.

thats a nice chip could go alot further than 3.8 with good cooling

 

[lashton]

Yeah but then the heat starts to ramp up, at 4.0GHz it needs unsafe high voltage to remain stable, I do know how ever that core 1 and core 4 nare stable, so core 2 or 3 are the ones limiting this chip

what cooler u using stock? if so get a better cooler and overclock more

nah i gpot a zalman cooler and overclocking does not really yeild more FPS that i can notice
