Default Re: AMD scores 6GHz on Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition

I think all of you guys are forgetting a thing. Not all proc will oc same even if they are from same series. It's the batch number of proc that's very important while buying a proc for OCing - IMO.

When companies launch their procs at first their price stays much higher. Those procs OCs really well. Most of the benchmarks on the sites use the earlier released version of procs. But after that when they slash the price the lower priced procs just doesn't oces like their earlier counterparts.

And I've read in some magazine that only phenom 2 940 reaches 3.7GHz stable at air cooling.
