Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

[LostHawk]

What voltage are you guys finding is nesscary for 3.6GHz?

3.6GHz on the Rampage board is really easy.
I just set strap to 333, FSB frequency to 450, the right voltage for my RAM and all the rest on Auto.
It's OCCT stable and I can see the CPU voltage fluctuate around 1.27V under load.
(I checked the other voltages selected by Asus with Everest and it's safe/ok).

Usually "Auto" settings was a NO for me when overclocking but it seems Asus improved a lot for that.

For 3.8GHz, it's close to boot in Windows just with FSB frequency set to 475 and all the rest on Auto.
The only setting to change to make it fully boot to Windows for me was to set N/B core voltage to 1.73V.
Then you need to tweak the settings to make it OCCT stable.
