Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[nkresho]

Got my q9550 today to replace my e8400. VID is 1.3000. Batch in my sig. Kinda sucks. I might sell it on ebay and drive 2 hours to the nearest microcenter to get another, newer one tomorrow.

I am actually pondering getting another q9650 instead. LOL because this is my secondary rig. My "good" 9650 has me spoiled.
I can't seem to get this 9550 to 4000mhz with any less voltage than my 9650 made it to 4500.

Any input guys? Temp me...

And my temp sensors are off... by a lot... 46c 43c 38c 41c all prime loaded 99%, and the third mount???

I'll sell you my Q9550 L847C219, ran 4.25 24/7 with 1.32v, 4.1 with 1.297v on the UD3P with 8GB installed. But I'd be asking eBay value, not MC value Could run higher I'm sure, my RAM was holding me back.
