Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[jeanjean15]

I bought my Q9650 from NewEgg two weeks ago. I own both the P5E3 Premium (x48) and P5Q3 Deluxe (P45) and my chip does 4Ghz p95 blend stable at very low volts on both boards (1.29v-1.31v) and the highest I have hit is 495FSB so far. I did not buy 10, only 1.

I bought mine in France this week and i hoped it would have been rockstable at 4.3-4.5 ghz with 1.45 volt max . But i have got no chance : only 4.05 ghz with 1.36 volt : not enough for me to change my qx9650 !

So , i returned it to my supplier .
