500x8.5 should be easy on that Q9550 with this board.
I upped the vtt to 1.48V, I can now take it to 490fsb*8.5 before it freezes on me.

I realise this is a controversial topic but what is recognised as safe 24/7 vtt these days on a q9550? also while I'm at it is 100c correct tjmax?
Thanks for your help.
