Overclocking Phenom II 1055T @3.5ghz???
 

i managed to overclock my phenom ii 1055t to 3.5 ghz with this parameters in the bios (asus M4A87TD/USB3);

bus speed: 250
HT Link: 2000
NB Freq: 2000
ram: ddr3 1333 (cas all auto)

i didnt want to touch voltages since my vrm doesnt have heatsink and im only on 4+1 phase.
using Thermaltake Contac 29 BP, i was able to maintain temp to only 54 C max with tuniq tx2 compound.

so far i did some prime 95 and passed 1 test after 20 mins. and didnt continue.
played some games and did some benchmarks and didnt run into any hangs, bsod, crash, etc.

my question is, what was i did safe and correct???
will this not cause my mobo or any part of my system to get bad soon???
any suggestions are welcome.

Should be fine, just be sure to manualy set the voltages to stock settings ( you didn't mention if you did or not) other wise your mosfets will fry XD

Also you should be able to ( it does depend on the chip) pull an extra 150mhz out or so on stock volts.

when set on auto, voltages will increase

That's all good an all, but who are you talking too?

Or are you just stating it for reference :laugh:

just for reference man :)
I know that you know hence why i didn't quote you :p

I'm just teasing ya : ]


Good info none the less.

HOW DARE ya! :eek:

ow, the voltage for the processor was set on auto. so i noticed i went from 1.28v stock to 1.3+ v.

is it safe to put it on auto? i stopped oc it worrying it might fry.

Here's my 1055. My temps don't go over 50c.

No auto is awful, for example with my chip if I stick it on auto and put it at 3.64ghz it will run the full 1.475v through it :laugh:
