AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.9GHz (OCed)

[jaylim0512]

So, I got it to overclock at 3.9 ghz and run at 48-49C. I tested it with prime 95 and intelburn test.

I am very new to overclockin and I was wondering if someone could help me reach the 4.0-4.2 ghz range.

Here are my current settings:

What are settings should I be looking at?

And I have these sticks of ram:

Should I overclock the ram also? and how? and to what clock speeds?

Hi, try cpu ratio x20. If it dosent boot, add (in small increments) voltage to the cpu voltage but do not go over 1.55v AND make sure you have a really good cooler not the standard amd cooler. Also CPU/NB voltage to 1.25v and nothing over 1.35v (if everything is stable at 1.25v, drop your voltage down alittle and test again until it bsod or freezes etc).
Looking at your memory set your timings to 9-9-9-24 2N(or 2T) at 1.5v and your ram speed to 1333mhz.

Hope this helps and if you need any more advice im more than happy to help.

forgot to mention, do not try to clock your ram as of yet until you are certain that your cpu cannot go any further in higher clocks. Once youve reached your maximum, you can then go on to set your cpu/nb frequency and tighter you memory timings at that would result in a better performance than a faster speed clock with loose timings.

just replyed to your post on the other forum lol
