Phenom II: An AMD that actually is on the "buy" list!

updateness>>>>>

after a couple of daze of this and that, it settled in @3.82gig, 18.5 x 207...the trick was to increase Northbridge volts, allowed for LOWER Vcore and much lower full LOAD temps and get higher clockage....

my disadvantage is two fold, Vista 64bit is a bear at top end clocking (prolly lose 100 to 200 MHZ to 32bit OS), and clocking with an older sb600 chipset is not optimal....

so, for now, it is what it is, not bad at all considering.....

if you want the full potential on this chip to be realized, i would suggest the FoxCon Destroyer board, the only drawback is the lack of PCI slots (1), but there are many PCI-e cards that can work just like PCI (NIC, E-Sata to name a few), so the unused PCI-e slots can do the deed if you have more than one PCI card you gots to have....
