Hello.
Finally signed up here after couple of years playing with numbers in BIOS.
CPU is Phenom II 965 BE (C2, 140W). It fails really bad in some of the tests Passmark contains for a CPU. At any different OC setup. The most important scores are -50% or more off when comparing to a same CPU with same OC level. Integer math, Floating point math and Find prime numbers are always low while other scores are usuallu corresponding, if not better.
Can this be the result of keeping the CPU at its limits for 2-3 years? Used to keep it at 3.95-4.00Ghz with 1.5-1.5125 Volts, 36C Idle, 54C full load. Playing games doesent take it over 50C.
Tried benchmarking it with several different OC setups and also a stock setup, wich didnt give me less disappointing results.
-Phenom II 965, C2, 140W.
-Sabretooth 990fx rev1.
-Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz @ 1000mhz cl5 - 15XXmhz cl7.
-Ati 7850 GPU.
Bought the MOBO after Crosshair III stopped working a time ago. I do realize I could do a massive upgrade updating the CPU.
