Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[xguntherc]

What do you mean this CPU hasn't popped yet.. did the other one Die??????? if so I wonder why? could it be the voltage or vtt you gave it.

also thats a GREAT clock already sir. Thats just crazy how easy you can do that. I'm thinkin it MUST be the PSU Mod.. thats probably it. I'm planning on doing it to my HX520 eventually. but thats the only PSU I have. wouldn't wanna kill my only PSU. Maybe I should order something else just in case.

Also how in the hell are you at 4.5 Ghz.. on FULL load with only load temps of 45-47 MAX.. thats just crap. the IFX-14 isn't THAT great is it. I heard it's not much better than the TRUE, but by those results it sounds great.. you have 2 fans on it I'm assuming. or even 3.. and are they 150CFM loud boys?

with my Tuniq Tower and 1.304v at 4.0 Ghz I'm getting load temps in small FFT's around 62/56/56/56 Thats higher than MOST are getting. I'm wondering if my Tuniq is messed up. I've been thinking about buying a true, or a IFX-14.. some guy wants to switch his TRUE, for my tuniq, as it doesn't fit his new case. and the tuniq will. but he drilled into it with the bolt through mod. I'm not sure I wanna trade, as it might be all messed up. waiting for pictures right now.

edit* better idea.. is there any PSU's that come with the adjusters stock.. instead of having to mod it.. Can I buy a PSU with them inside it like you said they "Might have"
do you know Napalm.. if so, then maybe I'll buy that. I don't wanna spend over $175 though if I can.. I only need around 700w or so.. as I'm using a 520 now.. and I might go SLI in future.. let me know? thanks!
