Check if 1.4750 V exceeds the limits for Phenom X6 1100T operating at 3.50Ghz.
I'm new to overclocking and began increasing the factory clock speed a bit. Checking core temperature, I see the maximum temperature during full load is 65°C (possibly higher, but I chose to stop). That seems unusually high. Any suggestions?
The recommended maximum voltage for that processor line is around 1.5V. You're within the acceptable range. Did you just adjust the multiplier without changing the voltage core?
1.5V is the maximum AMD recommended for that processor line. You're within range. Did you just adjust the multiplier without changing the voltage core? Yes, I left everything as auto and only modified the clock ratio. Should I tweak anything else to reduce the temperature?

The recommended maximum voltage for that processor line is around 1.5V. Everything seems fine. Did you just adjust the multiplier without changing the Vcore? Yes, I left everything as auto and only tweaked the clock ratio. Should I tweak anything else to lower the temperature? Your current temp is within safe limits. Some users disable turbo mode and C1E/C&Q for more stable overclocking, but that might not change the temperatures. Turning off C&Q could even raise them occasionally. Remember, with turbo enabled, you'll still reach around 3.7GHz regardless of stock settings, right?
What cooling solution are you using?
Which motherboard?
What power supply?
Hi,
I'm testing the same configuration for my phenomenon II x6 1100 BE with cooler hyper212 and M4a88 motherboard. Everything seems stable according to Prime95, with a max temperature of 55Max. The clock speed is 3903MHz, HT link at 2683, and NB frequency set to 2683. At 1.48V. Other parameters are auto. What do you think?
I'm testing the same configuration with my Phenomenon II X6 1100 BE. Cooler hyper212. Motherboard M4a88. Everything seems stable in Prime95, temps at 55Max. 244 x 16 equals 3903MHz, HT link 2683, NB frequency 2683, 1.48V. All parameters set automatically. What do you think? If it works, you're in good shape. The max temperature is impressive. Seems like a solid chip. What's the issue?

What are your thoughts?
If it works well, you're in the right place. The 55°C max is excellent. It looks like you've found a solid chip. What's the issue?
I'm curious—should I keep pushing the voltage to hit 4GHz or is 3.9 enough for this old CPU? Will I notice a noticeable difference in performance (games, internet) between 3.3 and 4GHz? Or is 3.9 acceptable? Thanks!
