Retail Q9650 Overclocking Thread

[OC Nub]

I think NKresho got the best chip that I have seen from that C batch. I doubt though without some kind of xtreme cooling it will do 4.5ghz linx. My chip is a 1.175vid, it passed blend at 4500mhz 14hrs but have tried many times to get it to pass linx at 4500, temps get to hot and it just wont do it, even with cold AC blowing on my rad. Only reason to keep trying would be to get the chip in that linx thread, other than that I prefer a good blend run over linx any day to test stability.
