AMD Phenom II X4 955 AM3 CPU Review

Posted on Thursday, April 23 2009 @ 12:23:59 CEST by


Overclocking the Phenom II X4 955 was a lot more tedious than when I reviewed the X4 940. This processor did not like being pushed very far, no matter how much voltage I threw at it. I expected to at least be able to get 4GHz out of it, after the easily overclockable 940, but boy was I mistaken. When it came to the multiplier, anything over x18.5 and the computer would not boot at all. Even pushing the voltage on the CPU, NB and the HT I could not get any more out of it. Pushing the FSB, the system would lock up at anything past 205Mhz. It just did not want to budge. I even raised the voltages over safe operating limits and still no joy. So the final settings I ran for the overclock were 3.795GHz at 1.5v and memory speeds of 1366MHz at 7-7-7-20 timings.
