Phenom II 965 OC 4.1ghz

[Terabyte_272]

I am just wondering what voltage my cpu should be at for 4.1 ghz because it hard crashes my system if I go to 4.1ghz at 1.404v where as 4ghz works perfectly at 1.404.

So you did your current overclock with zero idea how voltage affects stable frequency on a CPU?

thats not a good idea, pretty sure you can fry your CPU, right?

No I understand that I was just wondering how much Higher I need to raise my voltage to get a stable 4.1ghz I had checked online and found that a stable overclock for 4ghz was 1.4 volts so I was wondering what I would need for 4.1

I'm not sure about Phenoms, but 1.4V is already pretty high so keep it at 4GHz

1.4V won't kill a Phenom II, you can push 1.5V to these things. Bigger nodes are tougher.

Ok so you don't know what silicon quality and silicon lottery are on about. Just push more voltage to it as long as temps stay under 80C during stress tests

Well a lot of people say that phenoms can take that much. They are older chips for example the 965 is a 125w cpu

Every chip is different. Depending on material, usage and process. Don't blindly trust values online. Look up an overclocking guide and move up in small steps

yeah ik, but isn’t it possible if you raise it too high?

HHHmm well the issue is that Phenoms max temps are supposedly 62C so Im not sure. Will I be able to run it hotter? my cooler keeps my cpu at about 58c under load

62C? Please stop reading other people's results...
