Thus, the RAM controller of this processor, which, by the way, is located inside the chip, is banally obliged to work with both types of RAM. This is because this CPU is designed to be installed both in outdated motherboards with the AM2 socket, as well as in relatively current motherboards with the AM3/AM3+ socket.

TDP 955 “Fena” does not exceed 125 watts. The base voltage of the processor cores is set at 1.400 volts. The chip has 512KB of L2 cache per core and a shared 6MB 元 cache buffer. The Phenom II X4 955 processor carries four cores with a base frequency of 3200 MHz (multiplier 16, bus frequency 200 MHz, frequency of the integrated memory/元 cache controller, and 2000 MHz HT bus). In addition to revision C3, there is also C2 – which is based on extremely unsuccessful and hot chips. The revision of our test copy is C3, which is good news since C3 is the best possible revision (Here we are talking about the overclocking potential and the power-hungry of the processor. Under the heat spreader cover of this CPU is one 45nm quad-core monolithic Deneb die in 6M modification. The codename for the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition chip is Deneb (K10.5 architecture).

Welcome to the sixth article in the Retro Overclocking series.
In this article, we will conduct a “correct” study of the overclocking potential of an old quad-core AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE processor. And given the fact that the 元 cache and memory controller of these CPUs operate at a fixed frequency of 2000 MHz, overclocking by raising the core frequency (only by a multiplier) will bring very few dividends. Often, owners of AMD Phenom II processors with an unlocked multiplier overclock their chips using only the previously voiced instrument, bypassing the system bus, which means they ignore the speed of the 元 cache and the built-in RAM controller.
