They don't clock very well. You are better off just buying a cheap motherboard and running it at stock. I have an original Phenom X3 and it doesn't clock worth a crap.

I have it on a MSI K9N SLI v2 at the default settings. You said that you had a X3 you might like this: http://us.msi.com/landing/amd_quadcore/ ... dcore.html

That trick only works with Phenom II x3 processors if I'm not mistaken 8-[

Correct and my board doesn't have the BIOS settings even if I had a Phenom II.

check ASUS' support site for the CPU Support List for that model motherboard, that'll answer your question 8)
