RETRO OVERClocking: Overclocking AMD PHENOM II X4 955 BE [C3, DENEB]
Often, owners of AMD Phenom II processors with an unlocked multiplier overclock their chips using only the previously voiced instrument, bypassing the system bus, which means they ignore the speed of the L3 cache and the built-in RAM controller. And given the fact that the L3 cache and memory controller of these CPUs operate at […]

Retro Overclocking: Two Instances of the AMD Athlon II X2 260 (C3) Chip on the AM2+ Platform
In my previous article about overclocking AMD Athlon II X3 440, I said that the C2 stepping of AMD processors based on the K10.5 architecture is not a very good choice for an overclocker. Nevertheless, it should be understood that overclocking is a kind of lottery, and even with a C3 stepping chip, you can […]
