    Pretty good Q9300

    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.



    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

    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.

    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.

    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?

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

    I upped best results to HWBOT:
    PCMark05
    PiFast
    SuperPi 32M
    wPrime 1024M
    wPrime 32M

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