Got me a couple of Q9300's sent over from hecktic, one of them was a real dud but the other kinda compensated for that.:D

Vcore 1.275 bios (terrible vdrop)
FSB +0.1v
Scythe minininja with two 67CFM in push/pull.
FSB wall at 478MHz
L804B104

It really runs good on "low fat" as well:D

470-ish FSB wall is ok because there is very marginal performance boost after 3.6ghz.
would be nicer to get higher but alas it is a quad and boards just dont have quads past the 470 mark very well.

but very nice voltages.
dont forget about PLL/VTT/FSB voltages in the bios because those WILL make your overclock require higher vcore than what it should.
proper pll/vtt/fsb voltages can make overclocking the cpu a much "cooler" experience.

M1 revision... it has smaller die and lower VID than C0/C1

So you are saying that I should raise the FSB voltage even more?
I don't know, the board maxes out at 500MHz and will boot up to 460 on stock FSB voltage. From what I understand the FSB voltage is what can kill the 45nm chip?

Yep, it's quite obvious when compared to others results with Q9300. I think I'll keep this one for a while, I really don't care about the smaller cache....can't see much performance loss in reality.

whoah... 0.896 vcore at stock speeds.... that is really nice..

should throw some water on it now...

do you have the s-spec? SLxxx??

I were also benching one pretty good Q9300 yesterday.
3720MHz with aircooling.

I upped best results to HWBOT:
PCMark05 (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=736874)
PiFast (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=736451)
SuperPi 32M (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=736445)
wPrime 1024M (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=736444)
wPrime 32M (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=736442)

Very stable at 7.5 x 496MHz and reasonable 1.425V Vcore.
