Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[MrDucky]

in such a low vid mate you need the UD3P, the DFI will limit you again

Well i dont have that cpu yet i still have my own one with vid of 1.275 -.-.
I realy want the cpu of my brother cause he isn't a OCer he will use 4GHz and thats easy with my cpu at 1.296 volts on my bord and he has a Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 so that wouldn't be a problem. and i dont want to blow another 150 euros for a new motherbord since now you have core i 5 core i 7 and soon core i 9 so i think its a little bit useless to upgrade my mobo for lets say 500MHz higher clock. First im going to test some more with this CPU en hopefully this weekend i have the CPU of my brother

@Loco23
Pretty High VCore for that clock :P.

But ok anny tips are welcome
