We managed to solve the problem only by raising the voltage to 1. The next step required even more concessions -- to conquer MHz, we had to raise voltage by another 0. The boxed cooler coped with such a task only because the testbed was open. All the tests were stable. This mode is only partially fit for everyday usage. There was no point to continue our tests with the boxed cooler, and it was even getting dangerous.
Nevertheless, it demonstrated decent results. Overclockers have worked out a stereotype for all the years boxed coolers existed that such cooling systems are not fit for overclocking at all which was true until recently.

The improvement was stunning. Thanks to Asus and their new bios I don't have to upgrade my mobo or RAM to get quad-core processing power. Overall Review: Great upgrade for an older system than can run a quad core. If you have this mb,,, I used bios Couldn't get the Asus Update to work,,,, download bios to a usb flash drive, then use EZ Flash in the bios tools. No Prob Pros: Overclocks well using the Zalman I have reached 3.
Just get the latest bios update and the will run with no problem. My frame rates in in most games jumped by an average of 10 - 20 fps just from changing out the cpu. Saved me from buying new mobo and ram.
Same with Battlefield Bad Company 2. Fired up right away with the Crosshair bios. Cons: None with this processor. Overall Review: Glad I took the chance to upgrade my Crosshair board. Saved me some cash. If you flash the mobo bios to v2, it will recoginze the processor, read the temps correctly, and run ASUS QFan correctly. Search on the web for this bios. Waited too long. The Phenom II X4 Black Edition running at 3 GHz is the fastest model with an unlocked multiplier, which facilitates multiplier adjustments both upward and downward.
This allowed us to simulate the Phenom II X4 that runs at 2. We will provide the same type of testing with an Intel Core i7 system in the days to come.
In that case, we chose the entry-level i7 in an effort stay away from the faster models that are significantly more expensive.
