I am over clocking my AMD 955 3.2ghz BE(3.2ghz is stock) and after slowly increasing bus and multiplier I have come up with these settings and I was wondering what you guys think? The thing that im wondering its that my voltage seems lower then pretty much all of the 3.8ghz OC I have seen. Maybe thats just because I have a good motherboard.

Here is the CPU-Z thing showing all the settings. NOTE: All of these were done in the bios. I have been running the prime95 for nearly 2 hrs (and most likely 2-4hrs more min) and do not go over 50C with My hyper 212+ with blend and all cores at 100% run 48-51usually 48-50 though most time. Do these settings seem good and the temps?

My other worry is that even though CPU-Z shows 3.86GHz, Windows is showing 3.50. I think this might be due to the fact that this CPU is black addition and I have put the multiplier to 17.5X but windows only looks at the bus speed and such so its seing only 3.50GHz? Heres a picture:

Also I have forgot to disable C1E and Cool N' Quite after I put it back to default to try again before this but since prime 95 is running it should not be affected right? I will disable now and then start P95 again!

Also I do not see any errors on P95. Are they easy to spot if one comes up?
 
Solution
I am not sure about the WEI score but it might just look at the CPU info times the multiplier so you are probably right since I belief cpu-Z. Those are great Prime temps and with those should run fine overnight!

I have kept testing it for nearly 2 more hrs and it hit 52C but very breifly. Been sitting at 49/50C and sometimes 51C after nearly 4hrs at 100% load on all 4 cores (with a short pause at 2hrs because I forgot to turn off Cool N quite and C1E. Was I right about the 3.5ghz in windows thing?

Also. I will run this for like 1-11/2 more hrs and if its stable I will try games then this weekend if its still stable when I try games and such I will Stress it for 8-12hrs to be sure! Thanks man! Is it fine to run it overnight with prime95?

So leaving it on for 8-12hrs to make sure its stable is okay. Its winter now so in summer it will run a bit hotter because it gets hot here but it should be fine! Thanks for being such a help to me :)

That WEI is just based of the lowest score and that is always the HDD and it always scores 5.9
