Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

Congrats on finding a good chip, should perform well hopefully. You should be able to get 4.4 - 4.5 GHz stable on your i7 with your cpu too though. It's a hard call.

I feel the same way you do about i7 it seems. I haven't noticed anyone else mention it making them feel somewhat underwhelmed, I was thinking it must have just been me.

I'm torn between my LGA775 and LGA1366 systems too, can't decide.



Regardless of whether or not it's better than before, those temps are great.

same here i'm not impressed even with the 20k bandwidth in everest

Agree with you guys Cryptik and zsamz_ not even the bandwith impressed and i dont have a I7 rig but its just that feeling don't know why...

glad to know im not the only one in the boat

CryptiK,im going to try again once i get the i7 rig setup.
i was having problems getting over 210x20,but after reading i
found out it might be easier to do 21x210-215 and go for 4500.
