getting a AMD phenom II x4 955 cpu from 3.933 to 4gz on a crosshair IV

[MIDNIGHT EYE]

is there a way to get my AMD955 cpu from 3.933 to 4 gz on a crosshair IV watercooled?

 

[AMDFTW]

is the cpu watercooled

i have only seen the 965 do 4gz on like 1.5v

What stepping is it? Is it a BE chip?

I have had a 940 to 3900 on air. I have it stable @ 3800mhz on air.

P2 955 is always black edition yes

+1

My Unlocked X2 555 needs 1.5v for 4ghz, but needs 1.45 for 3.85ghz

Need more details on what settings you are at already tbh. If you say auto - go sit on the naughty step.

my voltage is on auto

if i change it to anything higher (for more OC) its unstable, for even 1 voltage tier less its unstable after posting

3.4Ghz on an unlocked x3 435 isnt bad IMO

yes both cpu and morthborad i can get to 4.000ghz and closs to 4.10oghz the pc truns off on me

i dont no if i can do it my self as my bios when i get the motrthboard as the new bios and not the one that comes on the morthboard

 

[DrBoomstick]

those CPU's need an awful lot of volts to get to 4GHZ

 

[PCMoDKiiD]

I can get my 965BE to 4ghz with 1.5v so i think getting the 965 would be a better choice

I have a Phenom II X4 955 running on my ASUS m4a87td-evo humming along at 4Ghz 1.45v, it is the latest version of the chip, it passed over 16hrs of P95 along with some intense 4+ hour gaming sessions.

I did get it to 4.5Ghz and it passed Geekbench, http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/377271

This is an amazing chip for the money imo.

I got a 965 a year ago...and just for fun tonight I was able to run it at 3.8ghz at 1.4-1.43volts (the bios ups the voltage to 1.42-1.43 during prime even if I set the voltage manually). EDIT: Just got a BSOD in BFBC2... v.1.4 is not enough...

On the other hand, last time, to run it stable during prime at 4ghz, I raised the voltage to ~1.5volts and beyond... My cooling setup and ambient temperature were different at the time, though. In both cases, I was running 64bit windows.

im at 4.1GHz on air

You lot must be realy unlucky, my very first rev1 955 could only do 3.7, but every other ive had has done 4ghz easy.

 

[kaysio1]

This is my old 955 on air with 212+ push/pull

 

[demonking]

i haven't had to touch my voltage on my 955.

4ghz stable 35c idle 46c load

240Mhz bus

17 x multiplier

4080mhz

1.456 v

All cores are different, as are mobo's tho im sure you have have the same AI tweaker on your bios as mine (M98somethingsomething EVO)

 

[ObscureParadox]

last i checked 1.456v isn't stock voltage mate

 

[demonking]

lol just looked voltage set to auto

please no one tell ttl

lol, TTL would have found out one way or another
