Phenom II X4 955 overclocked to 6696MHz

necrokiller · 04-27-09, 02:10 PM

Thats one hell of an overclock on a quad-core if you ask me.

Isn't the 955 socket AM3? It says AM2+ (940) haha.

necrokiller · 04-27-09, 02:40 PM

Yeah youre right....weird. Fake??!?!

Duner · 04-27-09, 02:41 PM

Also, how come there are only 2 cores?

jonspd · 04-27-09, 02:45 PM

at that frequency would it be possible for a few bugs.

the am2+ thing is due to cpu-z needing a upgrade-update.

the 2 cores maybe they disable 2 of them to get a better clock speed?

nzaneb · 04-27-09, 02:46 PM

I think...It will show up as AM2+ if that is the IMC it is using. So this would be taken in an AM2+ board with DDR2 memory. But the 2 cores... is kind of strange.

Well that changes everything. Not a mind blowing overclock after all.

And how in the world can they do that? Something new afoot?

I'm not doubting you but all I've heard is complaints from reviewers and OC'ers that it's not possible ...

thats not the only thing missing, where is vcore????????

Also notice under cache all values are 2 x except for the L3....should'nt they be 3 x ????????????

That's a cut off the CPU-Z validation page - notice the check-mark in the bottom left corner? No vCore allowed!

As for the rest - my guess is CPU-Z hasn't caught up to the 955 yet but jonspd may be right. I've never heard of a way to disable cores but ...

Go talk to Chew or Msi at Xs, one of them had this happen with a high oc on a 720. It was like it forgot it was a tricore or somthing, and just lost one of its cores.

Ill have to find the post. (this may take a while)

*edit* no luck must have gotten lost when xs was down

No need to search. I was running very high volts ON air IIRC pushing for a really high validation, crashed rebooted and AOD was showing only 1 core.....which overclocked quite well I might add but fearing losing the chip I shut down, cleared Cmos and to this day it is still alive.......

However what is used in that screenshot is called down core......likely a DFI board.....they probably shut of 2 cores......personally IMHO not impressive.......but whatever floats your boat.....seems He submitted it to HW bot and they deleted it.....

QuietIce · 05-07-09, 02:32 AM

Down Core? Is that some type of program that's floating around out there or ...???

It a bios feature implemented on a few mobo's in bios.

I'm more impressed with kinpins all core validation however.

My 2c.

Yea - just discussing that in another thread. The worst part is, I've even got one of those boards and never knew it was there - thought it was part of C1E. What does a Cruncher care about power savings if it downgrades the processing power of a rig?

Definitely! Four cores is much tougher to make than two ...!
