* More details at Welcome to the home of extreme Overclocking! *

Today I decided to load up the new AMD Phenom II 940 With LN2 and
To my surprise the chip held steady at 5.4GHz through any benchmark i could throw at it!

(first time AMD LN2 Bench)

I didnt have a Vmod on the Motherboard and was limited to 1.69v idle and 1.625v load
The motherboard was a HUGE limiting factor, The bios maxed the multiplier at 20x and the FSB was unstable beyond 270MHz

also, AMD Overdrive utility (which allows higher multipliers) does not work in server 2008.... 😞

All that kinda put me in a pinch....

Motherboard: ASUS M3A79T-Deluxe
CPU: AMD Phenom II 940
GPU: CrossFire X 4870X2

3 Word Records Broken!
1 3rd Place Record
1 6th Place Record

Need more LN2 and Vcore and I believe this chip can do a lot more!

I am Very Impressed, first Overclocked run nearly breaks 30K!
AMD has come a long way with the Phenom II and i believe this is only the start!
More benches to come!
