Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[nkresho]

I'm back at it with a new chip.
I replaced my E8400 with a Q9550 a few days ago.
It turns out the VID was 1.3000 on that.
I had a really hard time getting to 4000mhz.

So, I have it selling on ebay, and I ordered a new Q9650 from newegg. Turns out my luck isn't getting much better. Got it tonight.
Q9650 Batch L932B844 Packed 10/8/09... About a month ago.
VID.... 1.275v

Totally sucks.

But it seems more stable than my old one (1.25vid) was.

Here we go with the screen shots... Looks like Intel's using a spiffy new box for it's ultra crappy VID chips... LOL. tear.

Box shots and chip:
