Introduction Over the recent months I have watched and observed as the Phenom II CPU found its niche within various enthusiast communities and online forums. Users have been provided with an excellent, all around, 45nm AMD quadcore. However, there is one factor that people still find confusing and unclear. Overclocking the Phenom II. Why are [...]

Hey guys, I did some further testing at 2000MHz ram speeds. I discovered that my settings for my 1m Super Pi run were not entirely stable for 32m testing. So I revised a few sub-timings and was successfully able to run 32m. This involved loosening the tRC and tRAS. Keep in mind that this run [...]

Well guys, made some awesome discoveries. I peeled off the heatspreaders on my ram to find Elpida IC’s glaring back at me. This was awesome, considering Elpida IC’s are failed or not up to standard Elpida Hyper IC’s. This gave me some confidence in pushing them a bit futher. Here’s a ram clock (however not [...]
