Well recently I got my hands on an ASRock 990FX Extreme 4 mobo and 4GB of G.Skill ECO 1600MHz Cas 7 DDR3, so I decided to see if I could get my 955 BE to 4GHz as before with my old board and ram my max stable OC was 3.7GHz, but then my board decided to stop playing .AVI's and BSODed every time I played one so I replaced it lol.
Cpu: Phenom II X4 955 BE
Stepping: C3
Frequency: 4000MHz
ref*multi: 200*20.0
CPU voltage: v1.4125
CPU-NB: v1.1 (Default)
nb frequency: 2400MHz
NB volts: Auto
RAM: 4GB G.skill ECO 1600Mhz DDR3 7-8-7-24-2T @ 1.35V *Defaults to 1333MHz though *
Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme 4
Cooling: Zalman CNPS10X Performa w/2 120mm in push/pull
OS: Win 7 Ult 64 bit
My Idle temp hovers around 88F to 93F depending on room temp and Load during Prime95 never went past 52c.
So is this a Good or Bad OC ? I'm almost totally new to OCing like this so I'd like as much input as possible lols. My biggest concern is the Vcore increase, I'm not a big fan on increasing voltages unless I have too lol. Should I be worried about damage to my CPU or are these settings good to go as a permanent setup ?
