Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

@justintoxicated

so I'm up and running with this new P45 board and i'm very happy thus far. I'm currently testing 8x490 for stability, and went up to 3.96 for a quick spi 1m, but havent had any luck with the elusive 8x500.
I tried IntelBurnTest at 8x488 and holy crap, my temps got up to 94C !!@!# I didn't know what to do--how to stop the test--so I just powered down. It was running fine and all, it just seemed so hot! and I only had 1.33 vcore... anyways, I don't like it, so i'm going to stick with OCCT.

Anyways, if you still need help with settings let me know, just thought I'd give my 2cents on burntest...

Burn test, tests the CPU more than prime 95. It REALLY puts a full load on intel chips since its what intel uses to test their chips! @ 94c it sounds like you should get some better cooling. Even with 1.4v I only hit low 70's however my laptop thermal throttles the CPU (soon as it reaches 86c it decreases the CPU clock).

Heres my newest results. I think with a little more GTL tweaking I can get this stable without any voltage added at all. Crazy how it would not boot up at 3200 MHZ without a ton of Vtt until I started playing with GTL's

CPU voltage - Auto
NB Voltage 1.4v
Mem 1.9v
Vtt is boosted to 1.119 though (going to set this back to 1.1v tonight and play with some more gtls)

Not sure why I can't go over 3200 MHZ though
