AMD Phenom II Above 4Ghz OC

[lappy74]

Okay as i've said before and shown in my Project Log, i've went to watercooling.

But, I can only get my CPU to just below 4Ghz not over. Whenever I go over it my system will shut down and i'll get the BSOD

I'm wondering do I have to change the CPU Voltage, and if so how much should I increase it. Also if there is anything else I can do to get it over.

Thank you.

Yes you absolutely must increase the voltage. If you need help dude go to the review of the 1090t and watch the pro (Bryan) take it farther. The settings of the voltage might even be there too

Cool, thanks again AlienALX. Dont know how many times you've helped me already

up the volts then use linX and run it 10 times.

or fold a few WU's

Yes it's a 1095t (never noticed that lol sneaky buggers

) but the voltage settings are there, multis, HTs the lot

Hmm is voltage is quite far from mines. I was being very cautious when changing the voltage, didn't want to mess anything up.

Phenom 2 940 is 1.55v max apparently. IIRC I went 1.45 to get 3.8ghz stable with a 2c temp rise over stock (pats his noctua)

At 1.51 I got into windows at 3.95ghz but at 4ghz I couldnt get in. But the Thuban is a different story entirely dude.
