Do u wanna increase the CPU's voltage?Not a good idea.
And why u not bought an i7 CPU if u need power? I know AMD have much more lower prices
the i7 is a vary good CPU, its faster than this when this Phenom is @ stock, once i brake the 3.7Ghz with a FSB clock of 490 mhz x4, it will be faster than the i7 @ 3.0Ghz, since the i7 u can not over clock to far, the AMD Phenom II x4 is vary overclock able with a good board compared to a i7 with any board.
the i7 dose not use a FSB and that's what is killing AMD right now, but the i7 becomes unstable @ anything over 3.2Ghz since u have no control over the FSB with i7 for the ram and HT link
the AMD Phenom II at stock speeds are faster in game than the i7, faster benchmarks in most new games, now the i7 is the best at video editing or what ever else thats cpu intensive on desktop usage, but i only play games and i dont need a killer cpu for desktop use, only for gaming
over clocking the voltage is not a good thing, but the AMD Phenom II has a max Vcore of 1.567V and i will not how ever go over that, even if i am safe or not, currently i got my cpu at 3.9GHz on 1.52V, with the FSB of 522mhz x4, still never hits 50c full load, so i still got to mess with this
i did not want to get an i7 since i would hv to get new motherboard and new ram, and a new PSU since the i7 alone eats more power than a AMD Phenom II x6, didnt hv the money for that, and read up on the performance of this Phenom, and what potential it has for being at a fair price, plus I'd rather go with AMD anyway, they run better at higher temps over any Intel products, and AMD has never failed me unlike them Damn Celrons and Core 2 Duo's, them CPU were a wast of money, sorry to say
but i do h8 ATI video cards, i like Nvidia and i know that they are owned by Intel, lol
