Hey, What does the Phenom ii x2 555 unlock to? And what is the highest "safe" OC for the little guy?
thanks :)
 
Mine unlocked to a quad B55 with +0.025v.

It then went to 3.6ghz at this voltage but needed +0.075v to hit 3.7ghz.

Safe is under 1.5v and temps under 70C under full load.

I keep mine @3.6ghz because it stays nice and cool.

Unlocking is not guaranteed, just pot luck.
 
^ yeah, i will take the chance, if not then it still makes a great dual-core :) thanks for the info
 
True, mine does nearly 4Ghz dual core and if you have the right board you can run it as a triple as well.

Good luck. :na:
