Temperatures for Phenom X4

[lelliott731]

Anyone know what a decent temperature is for running a Phenom X4 is? I got a Black Edition so I can easily overclock, but I don't want to overheat it too much.


Thanks!

Up right to the thermal limit

Don't know about that chip in paticular.

If you want tp play it realy [H]ard.
Keep OC-ing till:

Smoke
Becomes unstable for folding.
The mobo runs out of integers on the FSB.

Not nessasarly in that order.

65C or lower would be fine. Above that and I'd be a bit concerned.

Make sure you have a decent mobo. I tried overclocking on a cheap one and blew a few mosfets

amd i believe your good at 75C or below.. they do not run that hot.. so pretty much compare the phenom II temps with the core 2 quad 45nm's.. the AMD's do run a higher voltage then the intel counter parts.. but the temps seem to match up exactly with the core 2 quads at the exact same speeds if your using a decent cooler..

theres a lot of reviews on the phenom II with various overclocks.. but seems to be very hit and miss on what you can max out at.. so its going to be a complete trial and error crash course on overclocking the phenom II..

just play with the multiplier and voltages.. and dont waste your time with the FSB overclock until the end..

Thanks everyone!
