Hi guys first time poster looking for some help overclocking my system. Below are specs.

Intel Q9650
Gigabyte EP45UD3P Ver 1.6
G.skill Trident DDR2-1200 (9600) 1.8v memory
Kingwin Mach1 1220MA1S Power Supply
EVGA 295 GTX
Intel X25-E 64gigabyte SSD
Coolermaster V10 CPU Cooler.
.

I"ve currently gotten a blend\prime\orthos stable 4.05ghz overclock on my Q9650. Below is the setup.

---
Robust Graphics Booster = Turbo
CPU Clock Ratio = 9X
CPU Freqency = 4.05GHZ (450x9)

CPU Host Clock Control = Enabled
CPU Host Frequency = 450
PCI Express Frequency = Auto
C.I.A.2 = Disabled

-Advanced Clock Control-
CPU Clock Drive=1000mv
PCI Express Clock Drive=900mv

---
Performance Enhance = Standard
Extreme Memory profile (X.M.P) = Disabled
(G) MCH Frequency Multiplier = 2.66D
Memory Frequency = 1066\1200
Timings 5-5-5-15
Channel A\B Driving Settings = OC1200


---
LLC = Enabled
CPU VCore=1.38750 (1.36 in CPU-Z)
CPU Term=1.360
CPU PLL=1.590
CPU Ref=0.886

MCH Core=1.360
MCH Ref=0.901
MCH/DRAM Reference=.0940
ICH I/0 = 1.570
ICH Core=1.200

Dram Term= 1.050 - Pink
Channel A Ref= 1.050V - Pink
Channel B Ref= 1.050V - Pink

Anything unlisted is auto.

Im not sure what I could adjust for stabilty or bring up for additional performance, ive overclocked in the past but not since my AMD Athlon XP3000 and i've had a few rigs since then but im not fimilar with alot of these terms and had done lots of readings and found this "Blend" to work well thus far. Please let me know if anything stands out as a sore thumb.

Also I have a very nice high air-flow 10,000 RPM fan screwed into the Northbridge heatsink it stays very cool, (Pulled the blue gigabyte label\metal cover off).

My CPU temps are at idle roughly 32c, load 50.

Thanks!
