FX-6300 Or Phenom II x4 965 BE Or Phenom II x6 1045T

Just an update on the 1045T, got my new Corsair XMS 1600Mhz RAM, what a difference it has made to overclocking.

I am sorry I can't get screenshot of how well it overclocks, but basically I got the HTT/FSB up to 330, thats just over 4.4Ghz on my 1045T.

Reason why I can't show screenshot of CPUz, it reaches thermal limit I think because it was 45C in BIOS as soon as I bumped it up, so I take it it hit its thermal limit pretty quickly.

Either way, what a chip. On water cooling this thing would be amazingly fast.

Update on this chip, managed to get it to 4063Mhz (300 x 13.5). My board ups the FSB by 1 for some reason, anyway heres the settings:

vcore 1.380
2708Mhz @ CPU NB 1.5
Max temp, a toasty 63c (prime). Usually its at 61c max.

Now that is quite high, my real question is how reliable is the readings? Should I completely trust this? Thats the reported temperature.

However, AMD OverDrive reports 43c core temps maximum, this to me feels a bit high? I know the chip will never hit those temperatures but just to know on the safe side about the core temperature.

Funny thing is i have done builds for friends with these processors, For the money the FX6300 is the best.
