M1RROR sets record with AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor

Russian enthusiast M1RROR has claimed gold in the AMD Phenom II X4 945 chip's model ranking for the SuperPi - 32M. It's worth noting that this processor doesn't have an unlocked multiplier, making its overclocking a massive challenge filled with pitfalls (like finding the optimal system bus frequency, RAM frequency, or voltage for the CPU's integrated memory controller).

Despite these hurdles, the Russian managed to push the Phenom II X4 945 processor to 4830MHz. That's a pretty impressive figure. According to the CPU-Z utility, the BIOS settings were as follows: the system bus frequency was set to 322MHz, the CPU multiplier to 15, the integrated memory controller speed was 3219MHz, and the memory frequency reached 1716MHz.
