If your stable at 4.0ghz on a Phenom 940 then Kudos!

I got my 955 to 4.0ghz on water and 1.5v, but backed off as isnt gonna live too long at that voltage and clock....

My adivce is to drop down to 1.45volts ish and get a nice stable 3.7ghz clock with some tight memory timings. The Phenoms dont particularly like 4.0ghz and 24/7 running over 1.5v isnt gonna do it any good at all!

3.7Ghz at 1.45v was unstabe for me like insanely

[chickenricesoup]

[thestepster]

[chickenricesoup]

my w/c unit is extrenal so the jug is outside of the case.i did get a lil condenso on the waterblock but not enuff to cause a leak.oh and i did keep my eyes on the waterblock of course

 

[thestepster]

lol well its a good idea anyway! pumpin freezing cold liquid through the system, what kinda temps were u gettin with it?

 

[chickenricesoup]

with everest it wouldnt show up it went from 3c to 0 then it dissapeared.but when overclocked to 4.2 it stayed at 7c.

some times im tempted to buy a mini freezer and put my mobo in it.lol
