Overclocking the 940 X4

Well I can already see that 3.5 is too much. I will have to find a good heatsink.

I ran stress for maybe 10 min and it hit 60 C. Might try going to 16X or so.
 
TX-2 is the best out there right now, and the core contact is one of these best air coolers out on the market for the cost.
 

i will second this.

i use this cooler for my phenom II 940.

my idle temps right now is 31C , under heavy load it stays under 50C easy.
but i have great airflow in my case (i would give it 9 out of 10 for airflow) so that is also helping.

before putting any paste on, be sure you read the directions and know how much to use. some pastes require more than others, and this TX-2 is different than AS-5.
 
How do you guys normally take the paste off the old CPU? Last time I did this was on an Athlon X2 3200 and I have Artic Silver on it and was a major pain to get off.
