Hi all, I just bought a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition. I currently have a Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition, but I am wondering about how high I can overclock the 955 safely on air?? I have my 740 oc'd from 3.0ghz to 3.7ghz safley with my Zalman 9700. Can I get to 4.0ghz with the 955BE??

Thats kinda what I read when I was looking at the cpu on newegg. I was a little disappointed in my 740 BE as I couldn't unlock and I could really only get it to 3.6ghz really stable. I will keep the 740 for a backup though.

I dont have the 955 in person yet, it is being shipped as we speak from Newegg along with my new 6950 video card. The newegg add says nothing of C3 revision, are you talking about my 740BE?? If I remember right that had C3 revision.

Update: Nope my 740 has according to CPUID : RB-C2 Revision

Max temp for the 955 is 62C, and that's a conservative rating.
