With the refreshed version, I was able to bring it up over 4GHz and maintain this overclock not only for benchmarking, but for everyday use as well and remain under the thermal limits of the processor. Throughout the testing of the refreshed Phenom II X4 965, the stock temperatures remained below 38C degrees and the overclocked temperatures peaked at 51C at 1.5V, which is great considering the first generation at the same voltage, and a lower overclock ceiling, topped the 62C threshold after long periods of being overclocked. That is over a 10C drop from the better thermal properties of the refreshed Phenom II X4 965.
