I've got my Q9650 today.

The good news is that it's running at 4.05 GHz. The bad news is that it needs 1.29-130V on load to run stable at 4.05GHz with my G.SKILL F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI at 1199MHz and tRD 6.

It's going to be almost impossible to overclock it much further unless I put some high volts on that CPU.

I also have a core temp that is stuck at 39° Celsius.

Not much luck again for me.
