Hello, forum,

I tried to OC my Phenom 1090T to 3.6 GHz without touching the FSB@200, but I can't seem to do it I read around the OC articles that 1090T likes HT and NB at 2400 for being quite stable and it really is ( Cinebench and wPrime95). The maximum temperature is 62 degrees and I monitor and control it with SpeedFan PD-controller. I think my voltages may be wrong. These are my current settings. When loaded it with wPrime95, I saw maximum temps at 55-57 degrees. I am using Noctua NH-D15S for cooling and it idles at 42-43 degrees.

Here are the first and second parts of the cooler review:

How far to 3.6GHz I can push it safely?
Are these the correct voltages for 3.6GHz?

Every piece of silicone is different.
So overclocking results will be different for each CPU.
Make sure your CPU/NB voltage is the same as/or close to CPU voltage.
One of my X6 reaches 3.6ghz @1.35v but the other takes 1.44v to reach 3.6ghz.
