Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[Zucker2k]

Yes, that's what I'm saying you cannot Prime95 only Cpuz on the X48

These cpu's wont get stable above 4200Mhz on X48's. It's doable but very hard.

I still don't understand what you're saying; are you saying I can't prime95 500 FSB or that I can't prime95 above 4.2Ghz? I've done all those, and with even 8GBs of ram. I guess be very specific what you think is undoable, and I'd try it.

I use this machine for everything, and I'm usually overclocking so I don't test stability much; here's another quick run... still priming...
