    Overclocking the new Athlon II X4 chip!


    Hi all,

    I just wanted to post up my results for OCing the new Athlon II X4 620 chip. I purchased it last week from NewEgg.com and received my cooler a couple of days ago. I took some time today to play with it a bit to see what I could squeeze out of it ...

    Athlon II X4 620
    Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 Rev. 2 cooler

    Bus : 270MHz
    Multiplier : x13
    HT/NB Multiplier : x8 (default is 10)
    HT/NB MHz : 2160MHz
    Memory : 900MHz (x3.33)
    CPU : 3.510MHz
    CoreV : 1.45v

    Overall I am very happy given I only took about an hour to tweak things in the BIOS. The stock speed is 2.6GHz, and I plan to get it to 3.6GHz when I have more time on Sunday.

    Not bad for a $99 chip!!!

Well hello there, so today I was wondering in a random thought, how far can an Athlon 240 processor be safely and realistically pushed? I've been able to clock it to 3.92ghz, but I need new thermal paste since it crashed in prime95 after a few minutes since it was running a tad hot. So that...

Quick question here: I've got an AMD ATHLON 64 X 2 designed for a type 939 socket, is it possible to use this processor in an AM3 socket? If not anyone want to buy one? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
