Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[jas420221]

What are your max clocks on a the hx520? Because Im running into some PSU issues as well (at least I think). Anything over 4ghz is just unstable. But I want to make sure its the PSU before I buy something else.

Running a Zalman ZM-600HP with 4*16A rails and a GTX285. Prime/Memtest/Linx stable, yet Crysis/3dmark06 = instant crash.

Sounds like a GPU issue to me.

Can you run Furmark alone without it crashing? If so, can you run Furmark AND P95, Linx, or IBT at the same time? If you can run both of those at the same time, I doubt its a PSU issue.

I also doubt the guy with the 750W PSU is limited either. Water doesnt take up but 10-25W depending on the pump and fans are shhhhh.
