Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

[Grnfinger]

Seems about right. Won't comment on vCore, as I know some people need that much. Anyway, great job.

urr, i will comment on vcore.
you should really try lowiering it, you should need that much to run a Q9550 at 3.6
9550 can easily hit 4ghz.

I have tried to lower the vcore, anything below 1.35 bios and it fails linpack.
at 1.30 vcore it wont get into Vista bsod on loading.

425 seems to be this chips limit anything higher and it wont boot on any multi.
This is disapointing seeing as I just sold a Q6700 that did the same damn clock, I was hoping for atleast 3.8GHz but I was reaching for a 4.0GHz 24/7 machine
Guess I should have grab'd a E8600 instead
