Overclocking the AMD Phenom II fun!

It looks like we use the same models of RAM sticks. As for temperatures, <40ºC sounds very low. C2D/C2Q overclockers generally let their load temperatures reach 60ºC - 70ºC, and it doesn't sound likely that Phenom II can't at least get fairly close to those temperatures without resulting in a thermodynamical cataclysm. I think you can push your vcore another 0.5V without much additional risk. However, you should probably procure some 1066 MHz Corsair sticks (e.g. PC3-8500 if your motherboard can handle it) if you want to overclock it a bit more.

You both are too intelligent, and have way more money then I will ever possess.

Faggots.

By this you mean you think the Phenom II can get that high right? Well if it is, the AMD Phenom II, as far as I know, can get hotter and colder than the Intel Quad Cores can. They've tested it in -280ºC with 6.5GHz overclock. I'll try it and see how hot it can get before I start smelling smoke or at least weird stuff starts happening.

Nah, I'll get it higher, if I start worrying about temperatures, then I might do something.

-273.15°C is absolute zero. Anyway, I don't think heat will be as much of a problem as the vcore. Once/if you hit 1.5V and find your best, stable overclock, it's probably your limit unless you want to put your system under significant stress and risk.
