Not possible to increase the speed of Phenom II x4 965 BE on this board.
Hi all. I'm using an Asus M4N68T M V2 board with an AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and planning a gentle overclock. Since the board only supports four power phases, I'm cautious about pushing it too far. I increased the multiplier from 3.4ghz to 3.6ghz, and it worked for about 45 minutes in a 95°C environment with loads under 50°C. However, after that time the CPU began throttling back to 800mhz. Adding MOSFET heat sinks helped with stock clocks but didn't solve the issue here. My question is, can I still achieve a mild overclock on this board?
