I'll loose huge huh? Maybe you meant to quote your gf perhaps??? However I got 5.036ghz out of an air cooled i7 975. I won't be losing anything.
I meant on your Phenom II, I didn't know you had an I7.

Sounds to me like you just have too much money.
And I meant on your Phenom II, I didn't know you had an I7.
Yes after I saw your post I edited mine.
Spec had like 4.6 or 4.8GHz on the stock cooler for his 955.![]()
I won't believe that until I see proof.
Even if you could get 4.6 at 1.55 Vcore, on the stock cooler temps would hit 100c in about 30 seconds. BS
Wow seriously? If the guy had actually got a 955 to 4.6ghz on air, let alone a stock cooler, I believe he would be showing proof to anyone who would look. I would also like to see proof. If only I could get my 965 to those kinds of clocks.Infraction issued. Yes, I was serious. Enough flame baiting and meaningless arguments.

stock cooler on a 955 PII -
Have a look around at some review etc. I believe some reviews show early review samples hitting around 4.7 on air. Here is a simple tdp calculation for anyone else feeling skeptical today. p= tdp. V= voltage. F= frequency
p=V2(cF)
p/v2=cf
(p/v2)/f=C
(125/1.822)/3.4=20.1782
Now enter the new values into the original.
1.6^2(20.1782X4.612) = 238.23 TDP under full load.
A cpu-z validation is done at idle so nothing is exactly going to disintegrate at these exaggerated settingYou don't get much more rock solid proof than that, but you've got an overclockers oath anyway. Me or spec lying about this would be like if Da Vinchi bought the Mona Lisa at a car boot sale
FYI that calculation can be used for just about any component you need and comes in handyIntel do tell porky pies about their tdp tho so if you are tuning a ss or something then room for error needs to be left.
Anyway that's the last post with that attitude that I'm responding to thanks mep.
i guess a pic with you username written on a paper. i would like to see this (not being sarcastic, i am serious. so plz dont "infract" me mep) because my phenom II 940 runs at 35c with a CM V8 and as5. and the max temp of phenom chips is ~65c. once again-i am not trying to start an argument or flame, but if he posts proof, this whole thing will be over with.
although there isnt any proof he is on stock cooling, i dont really care anymore, and i will take your word for it, its not worth an infraction
