Hey guys, I finally reached my goal. I got 2000MHz on my ram stable in Prime 95 (finally). It involved a few tweaks, in regards to blowing a fan directly on the IC’s and loosening the tRCD to 10, however the rest of the timings remain the same much like in my 32m stable run. [...]

Hey guys. I managed to hit another 32m stable result, and was able to lower the tRAS back to 15. 32m stable means that this ram speed is stable for almost any benchmark and most daily computing. However it is not 100% until it has passed at least 3 hours of blend on Prime 95. [...]
Phenom II IMC & Ram Overclocking Guide

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 [...]

As some of you may know, I am beginning a multi-part cold winter air overclocking blog series over at Techreaction.net. You can already check out the first part here. Lately it has gotten warmer where I am, so there has been no more achievements as far as overclocking goes. Once the winter decides to come [...]

Finally, at last. The Canadian winter has helped settle my challenge to break 16 seconds on SuperPi 1M. Using the same chip and hardware as before, here is the result: A little Cinebench while I was at it: I also got a top validation of 4.452GHz. However, I used an outdated version of CPU-Z and [...]
