This brings back great memories! I used to have several Prometia Mach I and Mach II GT units, as well as a couple Vapochill LS units. I would re-gas them with R504b and extend the coil for lower temps that could hold a bit higher voltage. Ran my Intel P4 2.0ghz CPU at 4.4ghz for 3 years everyday with a Mach I unit, my Intel 2.4ghz at 4.6ghz for 4 years before I upgraded, and my video editing station was a P4 2.4ghz at 4.2ghz and I left it on 24/7 for years. Instead of using paper towels to soak up moisture I would use .25” neoprene padding on front and back of the CPU, and slather a load of (non conductive) dielectric grease all over the back and front (inside the CPU socket) of the motherboard and as you did, use a high CFM fan over the CPU. You can always remove the grease with a toothbrush and alcohol afterwards. None-the-less....Great work! I really enjoyed seeing someone within the last decade using one still and hope you throw it on some newer CPUs (9900ks? 10900?).
I used my phenom x4 965 4.5 ghz at 1.515 voltage with air cooler max in bench 59 C , intensive games 49-52 C , summer 54 C. I used it like two years 7/24 after that BSOD it has never reopened again to bios but it gave me best of my times, still love it.

The only problem I found was the temperature of some of the Phenoms being a bit on the hot side. That being said the FX's were known to get a bit hot too. I guess I was just lucky with what I had at the time - an FX-4350 that used to idle at something like 12 degrees celsius!

1.6 vcore at 5 GHz 43 percent faster. I like the gt 2 compressor. Oc and benchmark tests were nice to see .solid data and temps
my Phenom X4 955 did 4.2GHZ with a 92mm tower cooler from an old hp prebuilt (with two fans at 4500rpm, not a daily setup). But unfortunately my motherboard would only do about 1.49v max so that limited me significantly (NB at 2500mhz)

The best Deneb Phenom 2 Quads to overclock on were the 975 and 980. They used a much lower voltage and could easily overclock to 4.2 GHz along with a 2.8GHz NB and maintain very cool temperatures.

So good to see this in 2020, i'm still runing my 2009 PC with Phenom ii x4 955 BE 3.2Ghz and overclock to 4.2 or 4.3ghz a few times over the years when required, a hell of a strong CPU it is, i can't believe it took 9 to 10 years to this CPU to bottleneck in gaming :) best buy i did in the last decade
Jebus that's a nice collection of cpus
That's wild. one of my builds has a 965 in it, but it's in a really blah ECS board. it does have some overclocking, but it's really finicky about it. Far as i'm aware, best performance boosts of phenom overclocking were by overclocking the NB first, then memory speed where possible. I was able to hit 3.9GHz on my 965 with prime stability at 1.525vcore, but the board won't even let me select past DDR3-1600, and won't let me go past 2GHz NB speed. So, a very intel-like overclock on air.

Look for those two Mainboards www.techpowerup.com/91796/jetway-releases-xblue-series-motherboards If you can't find one you can go with a Biostar-Mainboard with a TA790-Chipset. A DFI LAN PARTY AM2+ Mainboard is very good option too but you need a litte luck to find one. Or look for Sapphire-Board if you want something rare and special :) Whatever you are buying please DON'T buy Boards from AsRock, they are all junk! The AM2/AM2+/AM3 AsRock-Boards will die on overclocking!!! They have bad VRM's!!!
Now this is epic. Keep making these amazing videos
Retro? Still using the X4 at the office. (along with probably another 1000 people) SSD gave it a new life though.
A great idea nice to Overclock 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩
Been using my Phenom II X4 3.0 GHz 940 Black Edition since 10/2008. Just upgrading now. Can easily over clock up to 3.6 GHz on air cooling alone.
what's number did u have on 955 RB-C3? I have a HDZ955FBK4DGM CACAC AC and it can't reach 3.8ghz at 1.45v i must set it to 1.47v, I want overclock it to 4.0ghz but it's possible only at 1.5v. Im using Evercool Transformer 4 and Asus Crosshair II Formula with Corsair Dominator 1066mhz CL5 stick's. Procesor working stable at 1.3v 3.2Ghz, same situation 1.35v 3.6ghz.

Сначала работал на ASUS M5A78L-M\USB3 в режиме 6 ядер @3.7 при 1.4в, кстати, у данной платы очень хорошо реализована функции LLC, под нагрузкой с параметром 32% напряжение держала как вкопанная, не повышала и не понижала, жаль что не было радиаторов на силовой части, плата рабочая до сих пор) Потом этот проц на время перекочевал на MSI 890FXA-GD65, где благополучно выпалил одну фазу =) но там была уже проблема, у той фазы уже был выпален один drmos и демонтирован без замены, под нагрузкой естественно нагрузка на фазу возросла вдвое... Но проц выжил хахаха После этого он был установлен в ASUS Crosshair IV Formula где до сих пор трудится и кстати вполне уверенно держится при просмотре 4К фильмов. К сожалению узким местом у этих процессоров является контроллер памяти...

Biostar has nothing to do with your drivers m8, AMD makes the chipset and supplies the drivers. You just need to integrate them into Win7 with a script like Integrate7, which is how i'm running Windows 7 Enterprise on a R5 2600/Crosshair VII. I agree though, bootup is slow as shit on Ryzen. My M6500, a laptop from 2010, boots into Win7 faster!
