Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

Dam just found this thread after posting a new one.

Hello crew, wanted to get some input/thoughts on these settings so far. Dont think i'm going to push it any further due to the fact 3.6 requires volts of 1.33 to get stable, as well as, push it to ~72C on the hottest core running IBT

CPU: Q9450 @ 3.4 ; MB: Asus P5E Deluxe
Vendetta 2 w/ Scythe DFS123812-2000 @ 1500rpm
G.SKILL 8GB (4 x 2GB) 1066 @ 850


CPU Ratio Setting: 8
FSB Freq: 425
PCIE Freq: 100
CPU Voltage: 1.26875 Bios (1.240 Idle,1.184 Load CPUz)
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.50 (Lowest setting on MB)
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.20 (Lowest setting on MB)
NB Voltage: 1.250 (Lowest setting on MB)
SB Voltage: 1.050 (Lowest setting on MB)
DRAM @ 850 1:1
DRAM Voltage: 1.80
DRAM Timing: Manual (5-5-5-15)

Prime95 Small FFT x4: 24hours stable
Prime95 Blend x2: 24 hours stable
IBT 50 runs at Maximum Stress stable

Real Temp 2.79.3
Idle after 30 minutes: 42.38.40.40 - 43.39.41.41
Max temp after 24hours Prime95 Small: 61.57.59.59 (90% of the time it held at 58.54.56.56)

Max temp after 4 hours IBT: 65.65.65.65 (first time all cores were the same) (Most of the time it was between 64.62.63.63 - 65.64.64.64)

Have you tried loweing your vcore for 3.4 a little more? I agree 3.6 is hard to achieve, alot more tricky than 3.4.

I don't see any problem in going to 3.6ghz at 1.33v and 72c. Tho you won't really notice the difference between 3.4ghz and 3.6ghz tbh.

Re: sig. Nice OC mate, is that your 24/7? Or just for benchmark purposes?

Another my test with Prime95:

Honestly! Some people get all the good chips. Only can run my chip at 3.4 at that voltage. Damn you!
