Hi mate can you help to overclock mine Q9450 here's a link with info
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=192564

So far 450Mhz FSB @ 1.39v, and this is with the "hard to oC" Striker II Extreme BIOS 0704. I could probably go higher but my temps dont let me since Im on air.

hi mate, I got the same cpu batch as you are. How far did you overclock it?

Hey m8
Your RAM is running currently at 1600Mhz right? First, let me tell you that my problem when OCing was that my Striker wouldnt run with high speed RAM so I still have to work on the RAM (lower clock speeds and tight the timings)

For Overclocking, dont use that CPU level up, doesnt work most of the times. Instead select manually jump straight to
FSB 1800
RAM 1333
Vcore 1.32500 with LLC Enabled
PLL Auto
VTT 1.30
RAM (your ram default voltage)
NB 1.44
SB 1.55

RAM timings, imput the timings of your RAM and I recommend you run at 2T (command rate). Also disable all the cpu options like thermal management, virtualization, C1E, speedstep etc. Keep all 4 cores enabled and also disable all spread spectrums.
This is working for me like a charm, and so far Im really happy since I havent experienced corruption. Keep in mind we are using different hardware and results might vary. Im using 701 but I heard 703 performs good too.

Make sure that if you boot, you use Prime95 25.6 to test estability.

Tell me how it goes and if you need help just go to the Nforce 790i thread, Striker II Extreme thread or the 790i Corruption problems thread so the community can help you out.

Hi,
It's the first time i try OC my pc.
I've got an Asus S2E, an Intel Q9450 and 2mb OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 FlexXLC Edition.
I've tried to set my BIOS as if my q9450 were a qx9770 but it fails.
Have you got photos of your actually BIOS configuration? my mail is m3cls3m@yahoo.es
Sorry, my english isn't as good as i'd like.
Now i've 0703 in the BIOS without corruption problems.
Thanks
