Can one please tell me the maximum 24/7 safe voltages?
Vcore:1.4
Vtt:1.4
NB:1.6?Is this correct?

hi guys, tomorrow i'm going to receive a Q9650 E0, ES... i want to try for a daily OC, i'm still into 65nm but i've heard that with these 45nm i have to pay attention to the CPU PLL (i've read 1.54 in bios at max), CPU GTL (67x on 65nm, 63x max on 45nm), and FSBT (less than 1.30 for 45nm). I have a Rampage Formula motherboard, is this all correct?

thanks in advance.

Jupiler made a post about Vcore thought it was 1.375 coming from Intel direct. Most common : CPU PLL below 1.6 and FSB Term voltage certainly below 1.4 for 24/7 use... Like I have told before, go easy on it at first, then start to clock it up... latest CPU's I had didn't degrade one bit, first ones went straight up to 4-4.5Ghz and they degraded after a while... but that's my own 5 cents

i'm running the 9450 on a x48 chipset with a tuniq tower and *extensive* air cooling . what's the likelihood of my bein able to push it to 3.8-4.0, and what voltage settings might i need?
i get it to 3.6 stable at stock voltages, but at 3.7 it sometimes fails to POST.

man, that's such a shame, $280 that's round about 178 euros, but the cheapest q9450 here is around 236 euros...

i hate it :<

yeah, but you get a free gas card with your purchase at newegg

Lapped TRUE and 3200 @ stock volts gives funky temps Looks like a part of my IHS is seriously off Checked the cooler and there's an imprint on one of the sides so a bad IHS. RMA it to Holland (again 15€ down the drain) or just lap the sucker?
