Case Thermaltake Armor A60
Power Supply Thermaltake XT 775w
Software Windows 7 64 Ultimate
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.

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:
