Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[humeyboy]

Well too much PLL Voltage like VTT Voltage (FSB Termination Voltage) can kill a CPU.

Your Mobo has a default PLL Voltage of 1.50v, it turns Yellow at just above 1.60v (Text in Bios and LED on Mobo if you set it for PLL instead of VCore).

Set it to 1.55v which is very safe and try lower VCore.

I have read peeps saying different limits for safe PLL Voltage on these CPU's but 1.60v should be still ok.
